Skyrim: Anniversary Edition has been announced, and so has new content for the base game.
While Bethesda celebrates Skyrim's anniversary, it is worth remembering that the long-awaited Starfield should have launched this month too.
It’s foolish to say that one RPG is "better" than all the rest across systems and generations. This is merely the 25 RPGs we feel are the best and nothing more!

Dragon Quest 11 isn't even the best Dragon Quest game, it's a good game, but not the best. Dragon Quest 8 is superior to it in almost every way.
OK let's end this, in order
Xenogears
Final Fantasy 8
Final Fantasy 7
Final Fantasy 9
Final Fantasy 6
Chrono Trigger
Legend of Dragoon
Breath of Fire 4
Breath of Fire 3
Dragon Quest 8
Dragon Quest 11
Vagrant Story
Saga Frontier 2
Chrono Cross
Suikoden 2
Suikoden
Threads of Fate
Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy XII
Lunar 2
I don't play too many jrpgs, and I'm trying to diversify a bit.
Outside of FF and Dragon Quest, what two games from that list do you most recommend someone trying? Doesn't matter if it's a sequel to another game or not.
You have Threads of Fate on there which means you get my ultimate respect. Underrated and overlooked.
I like your top 6 a lot. I don't have the same orders but all those games would make my top 10 RPG list most likely. Number 1 for me is FFIX. It holds a special place in my heart and imo it's the perfect Final Fantasy game.
In addition I would give special mention to some western RPG's as well: Skyrim and Mass Effect 2 were iconic games. Out of JRPG's I'd like to add Disgaea 2 on that list.
Some of my personal favorites are Planescape: Torment, New Vegas, Morrowind, Kotor 2, Wasteland 3, Witcher 2, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Deus Ex, Disco Elysium and Vampyr.
As far as jrpg, while I'm not as big a fan as I am for Western RPGs, I love Persona 3 - 5, Dragon Quest 8 and 11, Rogue Galaxy, Final Fantast 6,7, and 12; and Lost Odyssey.
A game that came out in 2011, still relevant at the turn of the century. There couldn’t possibly be anything like that in the real world.
To the point : "We are going to be playing Skyrim forever. Or, at least, I will be."
Yeah it will just be you, you could have just cut to the chase and not have been so dramatic and drawn out about it. Perhaps Windhelm theater is more your speed? ;P
Skyrim is still widely played, especially by PC players. It still receives large amounts of mods on sites like Nexus amd is thr most modded game on there. These mods can create awhole new experience.
As a big modder myself.... Mods are the only reason the game is any good. The core game is pretty poor, glitchy and boring.
Mods though really make it shine as the game then becomes a custom experience
Depending on how Bethesda handles Elder Scrolls 6 if they turn into some stupid GAAS model with battle passes, Septim packs, and paid mods, we WILL be playing Skyrim forever and we'll like it that way.
just stop this nonsense, they made one bad game with gaas, and no other. Theyve still been releasing really good games the last couple years, so what makes you think they will make the next mainline ES title gaas? there is absolutely no chance that will happen. Theyve also learned from FO76 that they cant pull this shit again.
They didn't learn that they "can't pull this shit again". They just learned how not to do it and how to do it better. Plus the acquisition from Microsoft isn't going to exactly help.
''They've also learned from FO76 that they cant pull this shit again''
We don't know that yet.
Maybe they learned that they need to find a better way to not get caught with their bs?
Correction, bethesdas other studios have been making really good games. Bethesda Softworks on the other hand are some worst on the industry and they always get a free pass. If any other game releases with bugs, dated animations, dated graphics, bad voice acting, piss poor performance, crashes etc they would be left out to dry but Bethesda get a free pass because it has good writing... The part we don't play ironically.
@lionguard "cant pull this shit again" and "how not to do it" is the same you know. why wouldnt the ms aquisition help? because it isnt Sony? the fewer platforms they release games on, the more they can focus on the platforms they do release on. it sucks you cant play it on ps and i wont be buying an xbox anytime soon, so that kinda stinks.
@critics id like to believe that some of the top guy at bethesda arent full blown idiots and realize they cant make the same mistake from FO76 again. You are talking like they fucked up 5+ games like they did FO76, its one game....yeah it was a dumpster fire and they did get all the shit for it that they deserved, but its not like they have been doing that stuff for decades.
@kyro if you think they get away with it just because of good writing you should maybe open your eyes and ears. Also they dont always get away with it, FO4 wasnt as praised and then there is FO76. and after skyrim and FO4/76 they havent released any new game, so what exactly are they getting away with?
I'm going to fire up oblivion again soon, then Skyrim. Incredible games that need a revists, especially with some mods
I don't know about that for certain.
Pac-man, Ms Pac-man, Galaga, Tetris, Minecraft, etc. All have been milked for a very long time.
Minecraft is probably the one game that likely did make more than GTA if not about the same.
@Teflon02 Minecraft made upwards of 3.5billion giving an assumed 500ish million made this year which is being generous. GTAV made over 6billion as of april 2021
Sonic 1 and 2 has been released on every single generation since they've existed.
Sega Gen
Sonic jam
Sonic mega collection
Sonics ultimate Gen collection and vintage release on stores
Ps4 one Sega Gen collection
3d versions on 3ds. Advance Sonic Gen
Ps5 and series X as well as older getting the origin collection lol.
That's what you call milking. GTA is still a baby at this point
agree! and lets add some others to the list (Mario Kart 8 and all its versions and SIMS 4)
Who's actually buying this?
Honestly at this point I just wished they remastered Oblivion for a change instead of this every 2 weeks.
Would be nice if the new content came to the existing editions on various consoles.
