hey all, what do you think is the best role playing game, either online but definitly for PC.. im looking for one to play!!! i dont no what to do... its just i spent so much time on eq I and WoW its hard to start over again.. but what does everyone think.. even a good single RPG... but im most likely looking for online!

Never winter nights is my fav for the PC, but many of the console RPGs own them all.

Star wars nights of the old republic is cool.

Seraphine plays that all day now


It would be cool if they made a anime triology based on the Sith/Jedi war

I have several favorites so ill put them in descending order.

1. FF6
2.KOTOR
3.KOTOR 2
4.Chrono Trigger
5.Secret Of Mana

1: Morrowind
2: Fable
3: KOTOR

By far, the Fallout series...

The Parasite Eve games are my personal favs.

im trying to find a good game like Everquest USED TO BE!!!! i tried guild wars didnt like it, well i didnt give it a try, but it seemed to confusuing and like when ur a high lvl u cant go back to this or that realm... and im over World of Warcraft.. so i dont no guys help!!!

cant beat *Final Fantasy*

Nobody here has mentioned Kingdom Hearts. That game rocks, and the sequel will rock either!!

Super Mario!

There was a Mario RPG God I can't even imagine what that would look like

paper mario? i dunno whether thats what they were referring to, but that's the most rpg-ish mario game, it even had turn based attacks, was pretty cool though, and the retro 2d thing really worked well

AOE series
chrono trigger
Secret of Mana
Mario 64
Zelda series

They all are RPG's, Mario rpg was a turn-based rpg, and the others are action RPG's, RPG means role playing games, the premise is you play a charater in an adveturous story colleting and completing certian task to the end of the story.

Yes I know what an RPG is, FF, Breath of Fire, Suikoden, Vandal Hearts, Alundra, Legend of Legia, Legend of Kartia, Sectre of Evermore and the rest I've played them all.
I mean I just can't remember Mario being anything more than platform, Go-Cart, and Golf games. They put that guy in anything now.

i always thought of it as action/adventure. For me rpg always brings to mind hit points, turn based fighting and potions and to be honest i absolutely hate them no offence

True Mario is in all sorts of genre's. I really hate it when the industry starts making up names though like action adventure, or platformer

Why its an easy way to define things. Final Fantasy for example is nothing like Sonic the Hedgehog. Calling one an RPG and one a Platformer instantly establishes the differences and allows fans of one style of game to easily look for others.

Maybe so, but to me its just BS jargon!

Well its what everyone goes by

what does MMORPG stand for... i no its like Multiple (Something) online role playing game... but what does the second M mean?

MMORPG - Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game


There is nothing google cannot teach us

massive multiplayer online role playing game

http://www.mmorpg.com

You beat me to it, anyway a good one would be "city of heroes," "everquest," and "matrix online" if they fix the bugs and update the current version, it sucks now but I have faith it will get better.

Area has city of heroes, I've never played, neither does she anymore, says the server fees are insane.

Ragnarok Online - Out of all the online MMORPG's I've played, this is the most addicitng game I've ever played in my life. It got me hooked for over 2 years. And believe me I've tried them all - Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy series, Runescape, Kingdom hearts, Fable, etc.

Nothing can beat this game in a competition of addictiveness. If you are going to play, I suggest finding a good private server so you don't have to pay for it.

Dungeon Seige Is pretty good but Arcanum is a pretty good investment also

PC RPG's eh?

1. Ragnarok Online
2. Morrowind (Elder Scrolls III)
3. Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

I highly agree with Deception up there. Ragnarok Online is the most addictive game I have ever played. I've probaly logged well over 1,000 hours into the game and nothing gets old. I'm also one of those who aimed for the best gear and weapons and made one of each class.

As far as low-maintenance RPG games go; Kings of Chaos is great for the girl on the go..I like it anyway.

ok my fave rpg's are, in no real order

shenmue and shenmue 2
star wars kotor and kotor 2
lord of the rings the third age
final fantasy 7

If we're not talking about PC RPG's anymore then mine are FF7, FF8, Breath of Fire 3, Suikoden I, Suikoden II, and Secret of Evermore has a special place in my heart.

No contest - Morrowind: The Elder Scrolls III. Man, the amount of hourse clocked on that. I like the freedom of this game. You don't have to follow the story if you don't want to. Just do what you feel like. It's awesome.

All the best,

I'm only really into console RPG's as of now. I love the Final Fantasy's. IX is my overal lfave currently.

Everquest I took 5 years outta my life... .. but now im playin Lineage II anyone play that?

FF3 ( I played an import version . for some of you this may be ff6 )
FF7 ( Best...VG story...ever)
Kingdom hearts ( despite the disney it was still good . )
Breath of fire 3 ( but dont play 1,2, and 4 . they all suck )
Xenogears ( YAY explodeeee )
Xenosaga ( so many friggen cutscenes >_> )
Golden sun ( great attempt to make a new "classic snes" style rpg )
Lufia 2 ( a real classic snes rpg )
Chrono trigger ( an even better classic snes rpg )


Im sure I left one out , oh well .

Yeah, this has gotta be one of my favotire games of all time.

I just cant wait till the next one. It will be phenomenal.

1: Morrowind
2: Fable
3: KOTOR
4: KOTOR 2
5: The best of all is Final Fanasy 7

ff6,suikoden,morrowind,ff7.

Final Fantasy VIII and Record of Lodoss War
Fallout 2 was also a great RPG but I didn't finished.. but from what I played I think it was really good and we actually felt role playing.
BTW am I the only one that finds KOTOR utterly boring?!?

My favorite MMORPG is a game little known to people. "Another World". I've been with that game for a long time. Was a member for a while and looking to get membership again but, unfortunately, it's difficult for those in the West to pay the fee. They use webmoney, and we don't have that system here in the States.

Regardless, you can play the game for free and you can find it at http://www.awplanet.com

Just click the RUS/ENG button to translate the site to English and you're set. The client is a quick download.

As for PC or console RPG's.......for me...nothing beats any of the Final Fantasy games.

Yep, looks like you are

Ever seen the anime?

metal gear solid three!!!!

1. Morrowind (It's one of the greatest games ever!)
2. Neverwinter Nights (Got totally hooked on that)
3. Dungeon Seige/DS: Legends of Aranna
4. Diablo 1 and 2(Havent played them in ages)

Can't think of anymore favourites, I can't stand turn based RPG's but the FF series do have good storylines.

d2 expansion pack so many absences from school from over addiction (im 14) do not let ur kids play this game or they will start failing in school and the will to go out side will dramatically disappear by far d2 exp and rune scape but i got hacked on rs twice so don no

i'm just curious, what are the guidelines that make a rpg game an rpg game?

i mean it only stands for role playing game and you play a role in all games

I think Star Ocean: Till The End Of Time was very good.
