Is GTA: San Andreas not an RPG also?
Because I thought the characterisation was shit.
If the GTA franchise keeps on stealing ideas from RPGs then expect GTA 4 to be set in medieval Europe, the main character to be a spikey haired teenager with just one parent who saves the world and falls in love with a princess, the game to be turn-based with action mini-games that require the pressing of one button and the final boss will morph into at least 3 different guises before being killed.
Doubt that would happen. It would require the game to be a bit progressive.
zelda games have item management and stats lol!
well, stat :dabs:
That makes sense. Super Mario Bros is an RPG then. I liked the Resident Evil series of RPGs. They were great.Quote:

THE BEST ARE:
1. Baldur's Gate
2. Fallout 2
3. Baldur's Gate 2
4. Fallout
5. KotOR 2
all for PC, the games like Diablo are not pure RPG they have more action than adventure and mysteries.
Next disadvantage of games like Diablo is that the objects like weapons or armor are randomly generated and always is something better than you actually have.
In Baldur's Gate all things are unique and when you find one of the very powerfull you are someone.
thx
Final Fantasy IV on my 10th brithday. VI, VII & VIII are the best of the series IMO
Diablo II
GBA: The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap
NES: Dragon Warrior, my first also.
Snes: Earthbound, stands as my all-time fav rpg.
After n64 introduced 4 player games (the Mariokart and Goldeneye's of the world), I kinda lost interest in rpg's but have made time for:
Xbox: Jade Empire
PC: Oblivion
Simbad or somethinglikethat for Amiga back in 80's.
There was like 7 floppys to switch about (constantly
).
Come to think of it im not sure if its really a RPG.
:D
Now i've been thinking of getting me Guild Wars or something similar
but without the monthly feez.
The first RPG that got me started was Zelda for the NES, after that I played Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64 and that led into Diablo II which lasted for a long time unfortunately.
I guess I kinda started late...Final Fantasy VII for the PS1 was my first time...
final fantasy 7 - still the best
dragon breath 3
chrono trigger / chrono cross
i used to play those MUDs (multi-user dungeons) back in the day in text. yeah... i know i'm a nerd.
example of a "MUD"?Quote:

I was WAY longer addicted to those games than WoW, EQ, etc. guess i've never really been into graphics too much. and no i did not play with dice and cards or however d&d people do :P
I'm a latecomer to rpg. Definitely Oblivion
Ultima: Don't know which one but it was on the sega master system.
Look for the Shivering Isles expansion soon.Quote:

Has to be baldurs gate for me.
Diablo 2:D
Chronotrigger was what got me started and loved it ever since.
I think it was Final Fantasy 7. Then I discovered even beter RPGs such as Fallout.
have played lots of RPGs like NWNs, oblivion, Sacred etc but the one that got me started was Diablo II. :)
