Although RPGs were once inventory stuffing, rat battling affairs, 2012 really grew the range of the role playing genre. Whether you want an action game with deep and strategic RPG elements or a straight up RPG, 2012 was a good year. Additionally, the RPG genre acted as a great swan-song for the obsolete Wii.
A huge SEGA / Atlus Nintendo Switch eShop sale with over 50 games on sale, including Persona 3 Portable, Persona 4 Golden, and more.
With rumors of a Persona 4 remake allegedly launching soon, it may be time to replay Persona 4 Golden and relive the adventure in Inaba.
4 is my favorite Persona so I’m hyped for a remake. I’ve played Golden a few times and the original a couple times so I’m ready for the remake
P4 Golden literally justified the VITA at the time (incredibly slick on that OLED display as well... huge memories for me). P4 on PS2 was awesome (I played it on my BC ps3 at the time) but Golden elevated it, again- that screen and the intimate feel of playing it on a handheld made it feel way less dated.... I love that game. That and Ys memories of Celceta, Killzone and some of the other incredible games made the VITA intensely memorable even if mostly due to the name (same fate as the Wii U) nobody knew what it was initially and it went by the wayside (idiots blame the cards but literally nobody but a few loud people on forums cared about the cards, mostly because they were hoping to pirate, one small cheap card held tons of games- it was never a problem)
Damn straight it did, I bought it on a whim when I was in a Gamestop one day and saw it on sale. I played the shit outta that game. Another one was Zero escape: Virtues Last Reward. If it was just for those 2 games, the console was worth it.
"Last Surprise" and "Mass Destruction" are two of the best Persona battle themes, no doubt.
No Amalur? No Dragon's Dogma? NO GUILD WARS 2? Maaaaan....
Persona 4 Golden
The Mass Effect series is over hyped in my opinion.
The best one seemed to be the first game then they gradually started taking away the RPG elements.
The first Knights of the old republic was the best Bioware RPG I would say. Jade Empire and Dragon Age were also pretty good.But Mass Effect just wasn't as enjoyable for me.
ME3 deserves it.
I also believe some others could have been in the list like GW2, Diablo 3
me3 felt more like a shooter to me .. so I don't agree with this.
