Find me an RPG please

Chrono Cross. Chrono Trigger.

Are we talking consoles? PCs? If consoles, which one(s)? Check out Skies of Arcadia on Gamecube if you have one.

Which system?

PS2 - Suikoden 3, Disgaea, FFX and Dark Cloud 2 are all pretty solid. Dark Cloud 2 is kinda zeldaish. Actiony, but with story and RPG elements.

PS1 - FF Chronicles, if only for Chrono Trigger. It is greatness. FF Anthology for FF6/3. Star Ocean 2nd Story, Xenogears, Vagrant Story and Valkyrie Profile are pretty kick ass. You'll have a hard time finding them, though.

PC - Fallout, Fallout 2, Planescape: Torment, Baldur's Gate 1&2 and Anachronix. Mostly the Fallouts and Planescape.

GBA - Golden Sun 1&2, Tactics Ogre and FF Tactics Advance.

I've got more if you want any. I can suggest good SNES and Genisis ROMS...

Shit, yeah. Dreamcast - Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2. I almost forgot about my beloved white system.

Mario Golf or Mario and Luigi for GBA.

Yup, both of these would be great. Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga for the GBA is one of the most entertaining games I've played in a good long while. Highly recommended.

If you can wait until July 13th, for Gamecube, Tales of Symphonia comes out, looks very promising, also Sudeki for Xbox comes out July 20th i believe, another promising RPG.

Yes, yes it would. I picked up a PS2 last month and, of course, my first game on the system is FFX. It's a very good FF game... if you've played several of 'em, you know exactly what to expect. It's good enough that I plan on picking up FFX-2 when I finish it.

It's got major RPG elements, though you still play golf. You get experience from playing rounds or matches or doing training games, which is used to upgrade your drive distance, or control, and various other golf stats. It's a really good golf game with heavily integrated RPG elements.

The best PC ones are the Baldur's Gate games if you ask me.

Although really the best system for RPGs is the PS2. The Suikoden games are good, especially the 2nd one if you can find it. Final Fantasy Anthology and Collection are both real good, so is Anothology. And Final Fantasy Tactics, if you like the battle system, will keep you busy forever. Plus there's also the Lunar games and the Arc the Lad collection. But those are all really PS1 games.

As for PS2 games, Disgaea is real good, Suikoden 3 is great until the last couple of chapters where it kind of falls apart. But Suikoden 4 is hopefully coming out here this year and it looks promising. Plus FFXII is starting to look real good. As for right now Breath of Fire 4 is supposed to be good, I have it but havn't played it. It was real cheap at EBgames awhile ago, about $14. I also got the Arc the Lad game for the PS2 but havn't played it yet, it was about $12 at ebgames.

The XBOX has knights of the old republic of course and the sequel to that probably coming out early next year. Also Fable is coming soon (so they say) although that's more of an action RPG but it looks good. Sudeki may be good too, if it ever comes out. And Jade Empire looks to be good when it comes out next year.

Gamecube has Skies of Arcadia, which i have not played but beat the dreamcast version, I'll get to it eventually. Also Tales of Symphonia looks promising.

Re: Find me an RPG please

Arcanum.

Re: Find me an RPG please

Final Fantasy VII, bar none.

Here, here...Arcanum is a great, fun, RPG. Who doesn't love the thought of Dwarves with guns? No one, that's who. And it was made by the guys who did Fallout so you know it's the goods.

Planescape: Torment

The Warcraft 3 expansion. Seriously. Especially the Orc campaign

Fallout

put your money where your mouth is regarding gameplay >> graphics. Download the free demo of Geneforge.

Less story but tactical gameplay that shines: Silent Storm

For the love of god, do not get involved with this game. Yes, it has all the fun hackin' and slashin' of Diablo II in a huge, relatively open world. Also, there are horses. What's not to like?

Well, for starters, the game was about 4 months from being finished when they released it. Q&A for this game obviously consisted of a marketing guy looking at the box art and say "Looks good!" Some problems include:

Abysmal netcode. I played this game with some friends on a LAN, and there was still lag. I was literally 2 feet from the server and the two other players, but there was still significant delay.

Lack of stability. We ran our own dedicated server. At first, it worked fine. Then, it would crash occasionally. After playing for about 6 hours, the server or clients would start crashing every 20 minutes. This becomes very frustrating when your party-mates are out in the wilderness asserting their superiority over the goblin population and you have to spend 10 minutes running out to meet them. Of course, by the time you catch up, you've got about 20 of enjoyment before either the server or another of the clients crash. Yay!

Overall general bugginess. Sure, there are horses, but half the time when you get on one, it refuses to move. Or, you'll do some small side-quest, but the game refuses to admit that the quest is completed. For example, you'll get a quest from some villager saying "My sister is out in the forest! Find her and escort her back!" So, you go out into the forest, find the sister, and escort her back to town. Her brother seems oblivious to her presence, so the sister will just follow you around for the rest of the time you are playing (or until she gets herself killed). This becomes extremely frustrating.

All and all, this game has great potential, which is really the worst thing about it. If it was dumb or bland, you could just say "screw this buggy piece of shit." As it is, you really WANT the game to work. The fact that it doesn't becomes a personal affront. In summary, perhaps in a couple of months they'll get all this worked out (as it is now, each patch simply creates new bugs). Then it may be worth checking out. For now, though, it's better to avoid it. I mean, I didn't pay for the game I was playing, and I STILL felt ripped off.

Geneforge and Geneforge 2. I'd say the Fallouts and Planescape Torment too, but I guess you've already played those.
