Top 100 RPGs of All Time #69-41

IGN is now on the third day of their Top RPGs of All Time list. Today IGN are adding #69-41 to the list. This whole week IGN are adding more RPGs to the list, until the entire list is complete on Friday.

There are some really good RPGs in this latest installment of IGN's list

Xenogears
Final Fantasy X
Skies of Arcadia
Xenoblade Chronicles
Tactics Ogre: Let us Cling Together

and more

Indeed, makes you wonder what comes after these monster titles.

dedicatedtogamers4242d ago

The incredible lack of PC RPGs on this list shows IGNs obvious inexperience with real games.

Oh yeah, they put games like Diablo on it so far, and Fallout 2. Uh huh. Big surprise. Perhaps they could just compile "Top 100 most popular RPGs" and the list would look the same.

You do realize there is 40 more games to go on the list right ? And some of them WILL be PC.

Jumping to conclusions makes you look less than intelligent.

gillri4241d ago

well thats becasue there have been alot more good JRPG's than WRPGS over the long history in this genre

WRPG's werent very good until the mid/late 90's

there will be alot more higher up the list although I suspect Chrono Trigger will be top, a masterpiece

Chris5584241d ago

Where is Gothic 1,2 damn kings

rhap4242d ago

IGN has no clue about what it takes for a RPG to be good. They are just randomly generating this list naming 100 well known games.

Xenoblade Chronicles is by far the greatest jrpg I have ever experienced. Followed by Final Fantasy 7, and The Nintendo Gamecube entertainment system version of Skies Of Arcadia.

Rated E For Everyone

izumo_lee4242d ago

C'mon IGN!! Xenogears, Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy 10 & Kingdom Hearts 2 should ALL be in the top 20 at least 30. Heck some games like Xenogears in my opinion is in the top 10. To me it is my favorite Square game they have ever made....fighting in giant mechs how can that be bad!

It's so disappointing that to this day, I have not seen a game match what BLACK offers in an FPS.

ApocalypseShadow199d ago

Shame isn't it. I thought we'd be at a point of destructible backgrounds, objects, pyrotechnics etc in shooters. I sold many a copy in the demo unit when I managed a franchise Game Crazy back then. But I stopped playing shooters because they didn't evolve. Heavy weapon. Shoot a wall or glass. Nothing happens. Lol. Except for Killzone 2. I enjoyed that.

But then I woke and remembered it's EA. EA didn't care really. They just wanted to kill competition from Criterion and Burnout. And own Renderware to profit from as many developers used that engine. Only thing was that developers ran as fast as they could away from EA to Unreal Engine and its pop in and Vaseline graphics. Shame on EA. And then they bought Dice for Frostbite. Evil busters.

Anyway, too many PS2 games to count. Some of my personal faves being DMC, Genji, Bujingai, Blood Will Tell, Onimusha, Way of the Samurai, Japanese Berserk, Japanese Macross game that blew away the US Robotech game, RAD, Castlevania Lament of Innocence.... there's just too many. Let me stop. Lol

Cacabunga198d ago

Code Veronica
Dead or Alive 2 Hardcore
The Getaway
Time Crisis 3
Killzone
Mark of Kri
SSX

are some of my all times favorites missing on that list

shinoff2183198d ago

I've always Saud I'm not a fan of fps much , there's been some I really like and thought were really dope. Black falls into that category.

CoNn3rB198d ago

I would love nothing more than a remaster of the Jak series, including Jak X

Flawlessmic198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

The greatest console of all time !!!!

The last console from when gaming was pure, games didn't take 5 years to release, no online only, no half finished games, no mtx.

Ps2 was just banger after banger after banger.

It will always be my favourite.

sagapo198d ago

No Timesplitters in the list??

FinalFantasyFanatic197d ago

This is a really good list, pretty happy with the choices here.

Best JRPG series of the last 5 years imo

repsahj213d ago

I agree 100%. My top JRPG so far, together with Baldurs Gate 3 and FF16.

autobotdan213d ago (Edited 213d ago )

There is no together at the top. There is only one top jrpg series. Xenoblade Chronicles series is alone at the top

raWfodog213d ago (Edited 213d ago )

I like the Xenoblades series but my ‘top’ series would be either the Trails series or Persona series. Just too many good games for me to just pick one series though, so I say play them all lol.

autobotdan213d ago

You are hereby excommunicated the church of Xenoblade Chronocology

CappyBlack212d ago

I'm not huge into JRPGs, but my favorite is easily the Persona series. It's all opinion though. Xenoblade is a great series.

repsahj213d ago

XC4 for Switch 2 for the win!! So excited!

phoenixwing213d ago

Also they might port over xenoblade x to the switch 2
