Rant Gaming's Top 30 RPGs of All Time (part I)

You’ll find gamers prefer one genre over another, but most can’t deny a game with a good story. Role-playing games are known for their deep story content and rich characters. As in any video game genre, some RPGs do a brilliant job at storytelling whereas others don’t quite manage to sustain an audience. The team at Rant Gaming has worked together to form a list of their top choices in role-play gaming.

Ooblivion all the way, live that game so much and I still play it now

Mainsqueeze4230d ago

Morrowind is my favorite game of all time. If you haven't played it i would.

CanadianTurtle4230d ago (Edited 4230d ago )

Fallout 3 for sure.

I cannot believe the GOTY version of FO3 is only 20 bucks while games like CoD which have very less to offfer in comparison are still at the 60 dollar price range for years and years.

Fallout 3 is legitimately one of the greatest games every made. It's got both quantity and quality. Amazing story, interaction, gameplay. You're getting too much bang for your 20 bucks.

Final Fantasy 6 is also a really good title.

I love Grandia II and Final Fantasy Tactics. Glad they're on the list

StrawHatPatriot4230d ago

My heart almost skipped a beat when I thought I saw Final Fantasy XIII at number #27 *phew*

Xelmen4230d ago (Edited 4230d ago )

Final Fantasy XII man. I don't think anyone likes XIII much, if recent articles are anything to go by.

CanadianTurtle4230d ago

I think this article would lose all credit if there was FF13 on the list anywhere.

If this is true, I hope it leads to Morrowind getting remade next.

-Foxtrot4d ago

I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6

TheColbertinator4d ago

Well said. Exactly my thoughts too.

Tedakin4d ago

Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.

isarai4d ago

Yeah, 1st thing that came to my mind too, although i CAN see it being likely for ease if use, but it's not going to run very well if so

Tacoboto4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

I'd wonder if it would just be exploiting Unreal for graphics but the underlying engine/logic is still the original framework.

Like how we had the graphical remakes of Halo Anniversary, Tomb Raider I-III, and Demon's Souls.

Could also end up a disaster like the GTA Trilogy

mkis0074d ago

I have heard that too but even if it's modified isnt arkham knight UE?

Fragslayer3d ago

"remake will run both an Unreal Engine 5 project and the old Oblivion project. For instance, new graphics are rendered in the Unreal Engine 5 project, but most of the gameplay and physics are still done on the original Oblivion engine"

So with this logic it'll run just fine using UE5 tool sets on top of Gamebryo's engine or maybe even Creation Engine, who knows.

Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.

Fragslayer3d ago

Yeah it could use some tuning for sure hence the need for a Remake not a Remaster. I'm surprised it's even a conversation within them group which makes me skeptical it's Oblivion. I wouldn't say they shouldn't level up at all though maybe just a leave them a couple levels behind to appease the masses.

The prevalence of parrying: Why is it so popular?

Parrying has been creeping into more games, with almost every high-profile title of the last few years featuring it in some way.  Why?

phoenixwing34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

i understand the authors frustration i'm not the best at parrying in games. not that i can't complete a game that requires it but it is a definite harder thing for me than other kinds of techniques in games. which might be the main reason it's so heavily added in games nowadays. want to make your game challenging without having to do a lot of work? just add a parry boss. (what i mean by parry boss is a boss you have to beat by parrying such that their attacks will kill you otherwise)

Dudeson34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

I always think it's fine as long as such games also have the roll/dodge panic button. But I understand the will to parry, it seems so cinematic in a fight when you pull it off.
