Yeah, I think we did a thread like this, but it's buried in the archives.

If you don't own your copy of PS yet and you're voting on it you're full of shit ^_^

Haha! Yeah. You'll see that I didn't put it in my favorites.

Sorry if you don't have yours by now, I received mine at 31.12 and was on the beta team for a short period right at the end.

And yes, it's awesome. Sometimes it feels a bit like work, when you have to level up and save money for new stuff, but that's what every RPG is plagued by.

Shining Force II
Landstalker
Soleil
Gladius
Star Fox Adventures (does that count?!?!)
Star Wars KOTOR
Final Fantasy VII
Persona 4 (was that the name? lol - very cool game)

There were also several brilliant ones on SNK Neo-Geo Pocket... but I forget the titles.

Not really a huge RPG fan but those are the ones I have played and greatly enjoyed... there was also a Lord of the Rings one that was fantastic, too... can't remember the name... on Xbox. In saying that, I have completed NONE of them. The closest I have come to completing an RPG is Metal Gear Solid... which isn't close at all. LOL.

EDIT: Oh, I forgot one! Transformers G1 on iPhone - awesome retro fun!!!!

- La Geste d'Artillac (old Amstrad CPC, MSX game)

I am not a big fan of role-play games, so I only played a few.

Here are the ones I liked:
Suikoden
Grandia 2
Shining Force Resurrection of the Dark Dragon
Vandal Hearts
Fire Emblem (the first GBA Episode) and Sacred Stones
Valkyrie Profile

[108 Stars]

Final Fantasy X
Final Fantasy VIII
Final Fantasy VII
Suikoden
Suikoden 2
Phantasy Star IV
Grandia 1
Chrono Trigger
Vagrant Story
Persona 3 FES
Dragon Quest VII
Dragon Quest VIII
Star Ocean 2
Fallout 3
Morrowind

I am a huge RPG-fan, probably more than 50% of all games I played for the last 10 years have been RPGs. There are many more RPGs I enjoyed, but these are the ones I think were the best.

Fallout 3

What i dont like about Fallout 3 is the missing of turn based fights.
And what realy pissed me off was that they announced it would have a turn based battle system.

In genereal i dont like most of the Bethesda games. I dont can tell exactly why, they have good graphics, big worlds, lots of things to do. They just miss the special something.

[108 Stars]

I would have preferred some kind of turn-based battle system myself as well, but on the other hnd the whole rest made up for it; the world that lets you really feel like you are actually there.
I do not use the action-controls in battle though; I use the V.A.T.S.-system. While not turn-based I can at least pause the game and choose my target with the different hit-chances etc. Still better than the clicking in Elder Scrolls.

The older Fallouts on the other hand are too slow paced for me. I am really not into 90ies western RPGs, and Fallout 1 and 2 are no exception. I love turn-based battles, but I think japanese RPGs do a better job of making them exciting. I hate it when a Fallout battle takes place and takes like 10 minutes, then the last enemy starts running away from me; he runs 10 steps, I follow 10 steps; this goes on until he reaches the edge on the screen.

I really wanted to like the games, as I am into the scenario, but I just never got into it.
Same with Baldur´s Gate. So I´m really happy about the new Fallout games (and Dragon Age), as they basically make the game flow better imo.
