Best RPGs of all time.

Also every boss battle is basically trying to steal all three items before killing him, and steal fails so often. It would be interesting to play the game without spending any gil and seeing how much you can max out your abilities with just the shit you find.

I know there are people that can beat it without leveling up. Sounds like a nightmare but possible since bosses give zero XP.

Mass Effect 2 (could easily swap this out for the first one)

If Mass Effect 3 ended well I would agree. But going back and trying to play the entire trilogy is just pointless now and arduous. Knowing what the endings are, going back and replaying the series just doesn't seem rewarding. I can go back and replay something like FFX or Dragon Age Origin knowing the endings. But the Mass Effect series has such a monumentally horrible ending that is destroys the series for me.

Apparently you get a secret weapon if you get somewhere on disc four in under twelve hours. At least you're not wasting your real life time as much this way.

In 8 I could get to the fourth disc with barely leveling up, but the card game is time consuming.

I think they recommend you just run from every fight in VII to max out your stats later in the game or something. I remember it being pretty busted.

Fallout New Vegas #1. Also even though it’s a basic bitch answer, FFVII. I remember being fully enthralled watching my older brother playing it when it first came out when I was young. Loved it ever since. Chronotrigger is up there too for me, I didn’t play it until I was in high school but I thought it was as good as any RPG I’ve ever played

In both 7 and 8 money becomes meaningless; in 7 you sell shitty materia that you've mastered and make a fortune, and in 8 everything you need is affordable. 9, 10 and 12 there was shit that was hard to buy iirc

Dragon Age: Origins
Mass Effect 2 (could easily swap this out for the first one)
Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King

It's weird. Mass Effect 2 has a retarded story but the best quests and to me-gameplay. ME 1 has the most interesting story. Me3 has its moments but the space chink and the endings really set it back

 

[not that Jack Horner]

Crash Bandicoot

 

[Smeckler's Powder]

There is only Chrono Trigger, child.

All though, honestly, Mario RPG was shitloads of fun. Got to the last boss, couldn't beat it, put the game away for like 6 months and then beat it on the first try.

One of your best yet.

Anyone ever play Legend of Dragoon? Played pretty well. Chrono Trigger as mentioned was a classic. Morrowind is awesome too. I also like roguelike stuff like Angband.

 

[Monk]

Anyone else ever play any MUDs? My friends and I played one called Avatar a lot back in Jr. High. Could play it at school because Telnet was never blocked. I still hop on every once in a while.

 

[Not bad]

I like to say Baldur's Gate 2 is my favourite game, even though I've never made it out of the first dungeon without starting over with a new character.

 

[PogromStallone]

The first KotOR is good too. Earthbound is great.

 

[LockedHDD__Pot]

Probably the Heckler & Koch M320

We are talking rocket propelled grenades, right?

FO2 is the first (or possibly last) game I remember that really let you be a true piece of shit. Murder children, sell your nigger friends into slavery. Whatever man.

 

[Dog Eater]

Here's my list:
-Planescape: Torment
-Fallout: New Vegas
-Witcher 3
-Baldur's Gate 2
-Disco Elysium
-Knights of the Old Republic 2

You should play Divinity: Original Sin and its sequel. I wish I had 200 hours spare to sink into an RPG, maybe when I retire.

I ran one of the forks when they went to MUSE. I just checked and I guess it still exists.

 

[bantadant]

Terranigma, Soul Blazer, and Illusion of Gaia were PFG. They're not turn based though, more action RPG

 

[HeyItsVos]

The first KotOR is good too. Earthbound is great.

I really liked the dialogue between Carth and Canderous about soldiers versus warriors. It was a cool concept to have a veteran from each side of the war on your team.
