If you harbor love for Isometric turn-based rpgs, I recommend Eschalon Book 1 & 2
It has it's quirks, but is still very fun RPG, with pretty good customization and interesting storyline.
Other than that, most of my other recommendations were said already.

If you don't mind indie games, and story-driven RPGs (as in, kiss combat and loot goodbye), I highly recommend To The Moon.
It is available on Steam. Not sure if it is still 20% off. Probably won't be in a few hours.
It is a lovely little game. You mightenjoy it. Plenty of humour/references. And it has made a number of people at least tear up.
I want to play it again...

You would be suprised by my friend then.
Apparently, according to him, any game thats somewhere around 6 months is old. Well, in a way I guess its true, by that point the game is probably not the central theme of videogames, but cmon.... it will still be alive in terms of sales and whatnot.
Fallacious exaggeration is fallacious.aguspal said:
I said a two-year old game is old (I actually thought it was a little older before this, but I digress), I still stand by what I said; two years is a long time. As for sales being alive, people are still buying Crysis, are you telling me that game isn't old?
I don't think any RPG has beaten Morrowind when it comes to pure enjoyment. The game is just so open and diverse you can get lost in it completely.
If you like a more story-line driven RPG I'd go with the Mass Effect series. They're awesome.

You know very well when someone refers to something as a JRPG or a WRPG they're not referring to their origins, but more their cultural and art styles which is very important for someone who's trying to decide whether or not the game might suit their tastes. Now it is true that more western style RPG's are coming out of Japan so hopefully it'll help eliminate the usage of the terms or inspire new terminology in general, but right now to the general gaming community JRPG and WRPG do represent something beyond the origin of a game's developer.s69-5 said:
There was discussion many posts back about good Action RPGs - I'll give a bump to Titan Quest as well, one of the best in the genre I've ever played.
I'll mention the Sacred series too - it's pretty sandboxy, but the first one had a decent storyline, and they're both good hacky-slashy fun. Be warned though, the second one gets really weird. Like, Cyborg-Werewolf-Ancient-Guardian weird.

If you would have read my post more carefully you would have seen that I'm not speaking of official terms. I'm referring to what it means when people, specifically gamers, talk about RPG's in a casual conversation or exchange, and you know that gamers do use those terms in the context in which I spoke.s69-5 said:
Since you're so found of formalities and technicalities, Dark Souls is actually the spiritual successor of Demon Souls which is the spiritual successor of King's Field, and since they are "spiritual successors" they are far less bound to stick closely to the original game's formula. And for the record I'm well aware of how the unofficial roles of so-called JRPG's vs WJRPG's has flipped over the course of the 90's and new millenium. Yes, JRPG's were originally the more action based ones where as western ones were more rule-based, mainly because of the usage of a controller for JRPG's whereas their western counterparts were played primarily on computers with a keyboard and mouse.
Are they official gaming terms? No, but they are used by enough people to know and acknowledge that when someone says Japanese or western RPG they're (correctly or incorrectly) describing a certain cultural style of game, not it's origin. If we go by origin the vast majority of games are Japanese but that description blindly leaves out cultural influence.
Yes, those are the true categories of RPG's that you listed. Just don't ignore the slang terms, or more importantly be able to discern when someone is using them as slang since they also mean something to lots of gamers out there.
