Favorite RPG game of all time

[Daedalus1942]

The Fallout series does it for me.

Also, to chip in uninvited:

The final Fantasy serie's stories are definately better written than Mass Effect II. That's a fact. Have you ever delved into the entire plot for Final Fantasy VII? It's as complex and in depth as the Metal Gear Solid series.

I like the MGS series, but it's certainly not for the story, and the FF series just takes its WTFuckery to galactic levels. "Complex" and "in depth" does not equal "good". Like I said, I like the MGS series (although I find FF to be more annoying than a 13 year old screeching bimbo), but I think I've never faced-palmed as hard or as often as when I played MGS2 ages ago. And that was the game I bought the PS2 for!

Because of Raiden?
I thought Raiden was a good idea. Fans got too comfortable playing as Snake and it was a brave move just ditching all that and bringing in a new character that no-one could identify with.
In the end, did you finish Metal Gear Solid 2?
I know I sure have, alot of times. It's still a damn good game, even by today's standards, before the action shooter borderline rpg idea of MGS4. I loved MGS4, but it was hardly a stealth game unless you went for the stealth camo (no alerts) and the bandanna (no kills). That made the game worth playinfg for me. Playing it normally was disappointing though.
You know a really decent stealth game with some awesome concepts in regards to setting and use of dynamic lighting?
Velvet Assassin. I love that game, though if you're spotted you're dead. The combat system isn't fantastic, sadly.

I did indeed finish it. In fact, I went on vacation to the beaches of Spain and took the PS2 with me so I'd finish the game (and GT3). And by the end, my forehead must've been burning hot from all the palms hitting it, like a non-stop barrage!

That ending man... that ending...

It made more sense than the whole cyborg idea in 4. That threw me for a six first time I played it.

Golden Sun books one and two.

Ooh, good choice.
I still need to finish the Lost Age so I can move onto the DS Threequel.

I'm a fan of Fable..

I'm just wondering if EVE and Diablo would count as RPGs, if so... that is my top 3 list.

Diablo would most certainly count as an RPG and from what I've seen of EVE it's RTS/RPG so I would say it counts.

Final Fantasy Tactics and NieR are probably my two favorite games ever, so there you have it.

Insecure teenager is somehow has to save the peaceful world from an identical evil established early in the game. Along the way, he rides big birds, whines about how insecure he is and spends 5 hours in the bathroom sorting out his hair each morning. Final Fantasy games are very, very, very, very similar in game and concept, and identical in characters and story. Final Fantasies stories are about as original as making a the cake was a lie reference. And the majority of people who try to sell them as original are just "Boohoo im 2 deep 4 u sepirot 4ever" weeaboos.

Mass Effect may be ripped from just about every science fiction novel or film ever made, but its still a fuck ton better than any Final Fantasy story.

I was wondering why the thread smelled like fish, but it turns out there's a douchebag.

Yeah, except its actually YOUR MOM!!!

Haha, just kidding. Still. No need to start calling people douchebags, just share your opinion and enjoy the games you like.

By the way, I wont report you. Thank me later.

Then don't attack an entire series of games and their fanbase. That was just disrespectful.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this before, but Deus Ex is damn awesome.

Deus Ex.

Anyone who thinks otherwise hasn't played it.
Seriously...

Deus Ex.

Played it for the first time last year, still blows most everything out of the water.

Huh, maybe they did...

I wish I could get it working on my pc, but I run windows 7 so...

I'm running it on W7. Mind you, I downloaded it off Steam and Steam is good with compatibility issues...

Do you recommend it to someone who usually doesn't play games this old?

Definitely. Some of the controls are a bit clunky, but you can change them, being a PC title and all... Otherwise it's fantastic. A lot of really good game design has gone into it which leaves a lot of modern AAAs paling in comparison.

I was attacked first. Like, 3 times. Why should I respect a disrespectful fanbase?

You got into an argument with a single user. One fan=/=entire fanbase.

>Implying this is the only Final Fantasy fan I have talked too

We have all had unpleasant experiences with fanbases. I'm not going to elaborate on mine. It got....ugly. Point is, I still don't badmouth that company's/game's fanbase. I know I hate being lumped into a category.
