Become.com: Top 10 Super Awesome RPGs

"Role playing games leave lasting impressions on gamers for a few reasons. Those with the patience for long and engrossing games are rewarded with rich story lines, a sustained challenge, and deep character development. While it may be true that these games are not for some - many gamers are simply looking for a short, action packed foray into gaming - a good RPG is like a good book, in the sense that experience is personal and unique, and if they aren't carefully crafted they have no chance of holding your interest. Here are ten games that got it right in a big way. Ladies and gentleman, the ten greatest RPGs of all time."

Yeah wheres xenogears? :(.
More importantly though :
/brewski; Deletes Dragonage
/brewski; Inserts Baldurs Gate.

Ahh thats better

Enate5152d ago

I was gonna say the same thing Xenogears and Suikoden II.

RedDead5152d ago

Agreed, I would put Suikoden 2 as my top J-rpg. I think Xenogears is a bit overrated, the story is one of the best with just about every theme in there, but the battle system is very standard and the second disk sorts of anal rapes the first one. Seriously though FF7. I don't understand why it's rated so high like this. It is good and was always one of my fav games, but it definitely isn't the best Jrpg and definitely isn't Squaresofts best game.

Rifle-Man5152d ago

You know, I've never played Persona 3 and I've been debating whether to get it on PSP or PS2.

Is it better than P4?

InfiniteJustice5152d ago

@ Rifle-Man

I'd say it was as good, I can't really pick one over the other, though. Definitely worth getting if you can though, on a base level it's the same as P4, just uses a different story and characters

HINDERIZATION5152d ago (Edited 5152d ago )

Legend Of Dragoon #1 for me any day. Greatest video game of all time. Probably the first video game that ever made me cry really hard. ):

Neko6085152d ago

Any list of this nature where Chrono isn't #1 is a complete outrage

HeavenlySnipes5152d ago (Edited 5152d ago )

Chrono Cross is the BEST RPG I've ever played.
Chrono Trigger is a close second though

EDIT: @rezznik

FFVII isn't even the best FF game. I didn't even finish FFVII I stopped after defeating the first weapon. I think FFX and FF Xii are better. Oh and FFIX and FFVIII.....

(Its pretty much last on my list.)

Tbolt80000v5152d ago

X is awesome but VI is the best IMO.

Simon's Quest is better than Symphony.

djl348534d ago

If you're gonna troll, at least make a legitimate attempt.

Levii_9235d ago

Hot damn that's a good list. The only one i never played is AOE2 and i never finshed Chrono Trigger but it was damn good.

Speaking of what's old but holds up amazingly well and plays like a dream.. i played Symphony of the Night for the first time in 2019.. yep that's right. It became one of my favourite games of all time that i replay almost every year. I couldn't believe how good it was. That is almost impossible for me with newer games let alone older ones. Truly a special gem.

LG_Fox_Brazil34d ago

That's a pretty fucking great list

__y2jb34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

The only one I’d disagree with is doom. It shows its age badly I think. After 5 minutes of play these days you put it down.

Six Times When Games Turned Into A Horror Game

Ever play a game a game only to discover at some point it transforms into a horror game? No? Well Netto's Game Room shares six games that do just that!

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom37d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7736d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

I want a full on 3d remake but I suppose HD2D is fine.

Snookies1242d ago

So many people want HD2D, but I agree 100%. Chrono Trigger is in my top 3 of all-time. I want to see what this could be like re-imagined in full 3D. The sprites look good enough in the original, in my opinion. What would be amazing, is if they just went for both haha. Give us the HD2D to tide us over while they work on the full remake.

darthv7242d ago

I'd imagine it would be something like... chrono cross

goken42d ago

I am hoping a modern AAA return…

Chard42d ago (Edited 42d ago )

I'm still skeptical of HD-2D, and still want them to fix remaining foibles in the current Steam version. At any rate I've been seeing online that this rumour has been debunked

Knightofelemia41d ago

I would jump for a remake of Chrono Trigger then hopefully a remake of Chrono Cross. I wish Xenogears and the Xenosaga trilogy also got a remake or a remaster.

jznrpg41d ago

Yes to Xenogears and Xenosaga!

jznrpg41d ago

I am surprised it hasn’t been done already. It’s widely considered as one of the best RPGs all time. I’ll take it for sure. I want a Vagrant Story remake as well
