They made a Top Ten RPG's On PS3 list without White Knight Chronicles 1/2?!?

They even put FF XIII-2 on this list! What the frick?

Army_of_Darkness4361d ago

where's Folklore?! and if there are no exclusives on this list, why couldn't they just call it "my top 10 multiplatform RPGs one consoles"?!

HarryMasonHerpderp4361d ago

Folklore was a really underrated game.

himdeel4361d ago

I was going to click out but when I read no White Knight or Folklore I knew the list was bogus. Oh well...

Lucretia4361d ago

believe it or not ff13-2 was really good. far better than 13.

did you get to play it? i wasnt expecting much and was very pleased

MySwordIsHeavenly4361d ago

I played it. It was definitely better than the first one. I just don't think it was anywhere near as good as WKC.

nolifeking4361d ago

Being better than a turd isn't really saying much.

"Hey, at least this glass of piss is better than than turd sandwich."

Lucretia4361d ago

oh wow i didnt even notice that. very lame they didnt include WKC......those games were great. well aslong as its on our personal list right?

Dark souls may be my winner but as far as classic jrpgs, ff13-2, WKC, and star ocean are my favs....or nier.... plenty of good ones, just not as many as ps2
:(

really hope tales of xillia comes to america and they they make a ff13-3 since THAT ENDING was insane

Kur04361d ago

I'm a PS3 fan and an RPG fan and I find WKC to be absolutely awful.

ReservoirDog3164361d ago

Does it arguably not count as a traditional RPG? Maybe but there's no RPG I've enjoyed more than Valkyria Chronicles. I was one of the few that bought it day 1 and I'll be forever proud of that.

Dark Souls
Mass Effect 2
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Dragon Age Origins
Fallout 3
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Borderlands
Eternal Sonata
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
Skyrim

That's their list and I just saved everyone from giving the site 10 hits. They went the hit monger route and put each game on its own page with a simple paragraph of what the game is below a half screen sized picture.

I disagree with any game that calls itself an RPG if the main form of gameplay is shooter based. That's not how RPG's started, it isn't how they progressed, and only recently has it come to pass. I call games like that shooters with RPG elements and/or a tacked on conversation system.

FFXIII-2 should NOT be on that list AT ALL. There are a f*ckton of better RPG's on the PS3 than FFXIII-2.

Hicken4361d ago

Crap list. Well, not crap, but not very good. Lacking Demon's Souls, White Knight Chronicles, and Valkyria Chronicles.

XIII-2 isn't bad, but on a list with what they have and what they lacked(the three I mentioned), it wouldn't be counted.

Omnislash4360d ago

Yeah theyre lacking Valyria Chronicles that game is awesome! Much better than Mass Erect....

LaChance4361d ago

Lost Odyssey is the the best RPG the PS3 never had.

I_LOVE_MYSELF4361d ago

Sure is. I would love to play that on my PS3. I could just get it for my 360, but I never commit to getting it.

I have hardly played any noteworthy PS3 RPG's and suggestions are more than welcome, but I enjoyed

Demons Souls
Dark Souls
Final Fantasy 13
Skyrim

I think Kingdoms of Amalur is going to have to be purchased.

HarryMasonHerpderp4361d ago

Its really not as great as everyone makes out.
The loading times in between battles was
really annoying.I thought tales of vesperia was better.

_Aarix_4360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

Loading times? Your mean 5-7 seconds? The longest loading times I experienced were getting into cutscenes and those were only 10-12 seconds.

And yes it is as great as people make it out to be. This is the jrpg this generation needs more of.

HarryMasonHerpderp4360d ago (Edited 4360d ago )

A common complaint with reviewers were the loading times 5-7 seconds and 10-12 seconds is a long time if you just sit there,get a stop watch out and time how long it takes you will notice it drags out longer than you think.
It gets annoying after the first 500 random battles waiting around listening to my characters chat about nothing while my xbox is trying hard to process it all before i can actually take part in the battle.In fact random battles are very last gen in general especially ones that take ages to load.Also I really didn't like Jansen he wasn't funny at all and came across as just annoying.

I never said it was a bad game i did enjoy it
i thought the environments were cool and the story was great and i liked those little mini storys you could read (really wish they were in game though some of the mini storys were better than the main story)its just not the best JRPG this generation.

Like i said i preferred tales of vesperia
with its quick loading,no random battles (all the monsters are on screen) and a more interesting protagonist in my opinion.

aDDicteD4361d ago

surprised to see ff13-2 in the list

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis5h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast3h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 1h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 1h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK22h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast4h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake21h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast4h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon16h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast3h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.
