In order to balance out all the negative threads lets make a positive one! My favorite RPG is Skyrim and I like it for the immersion and huge world to explore. What about you guys?
Hard to say when it comes to whether Skyrim is a great RPG or not. I feel it is more style over substance compared to earlier games of the series(Morrowind). Given the fact Skyrim is made to be modded ONLY for the PC, It leaves console players with only the base game. But I can understand why you would put it as your number one.RJ 17 said:Mine's a bit of a toss-up, really.
A few months ago I would have said Final Fantasy Tactics (the original for the PS1), easily. But having played Skyrim on the PC now, I really can't decide which one I like more. FFT has a story so grand (imo) that it inspired me to become a creative writer. But Skyrim has mods...glorious, delicious, holy mods of greatness...and while I normally do agree with the sentiments of the Critical Miss comic, I have to disagree with the one that says "You can't say that Skyrim is a great RPG because of the mods." Now, that would technically be true except for one factor: Bethesda made Skyrim specifically to be modded. Saying that you can't claim that Skyrim is a good game because it's modded is like saying that you can't claim pepperoni pizza is your favorite because it's just a modded cheese pizza.
Xenogears, the best videogame ever made. ^^ According to me, anyway.Sanderpower said:In order to balance out all the negative threads lets make a positive one! My favorite RPG is Skyrim and I like it for the immersion and huge world to explore. What about you guys?
That's why I said it's a toss-up. Indeed, Skyrim is only truly great on the PC because the mods make it amazing. The original FFT, on the other hand, is just a straight-up great game.Ml33tninja said:Hard to say when it comes to whether Skyrim is a great RPG or not.
