I still play the PS2- and you got stuff like Shadowhearts on that, as well as FFX and a less popular mention of Drakan. Recently picked up Legend of Dragoon on the PS1 and I am trying this- surprisingly it isn't as crap as I first thought it might be.

legend of dragoon is one of those rpgs that was looked over during all the FFs and the other wanna be RPGs that were released during that time. It really deserves alot more credit for what it is. I remember i had to rent it twice to get to the end, then i bought it 2 years later and beat the last boss (something i was unable to do when i rented it).

He wanted to know a good cRPG. Oblivion is not a cRPG.

if all goes well, then FF XIII should be out in december, and hopefully be amongst the best in its series :)

so if you can wait that long, i would suggest that one.

or else you could buy Fallout 3, really nice post apocalyptic RPG game, and expect MANY hours of gameplay

Oblivion and Mass Effect are not RPG's and I don't care how much they payed for its publicitiy.

I would really like to know your reasoning behind this? And if it's not an RPG, what is it then?

Action games.

OP,

Been playing fallout 3, Not sure you would call that RPG. It is a whole lotta fun for single player.

Um if your talking about Computer Role Playing Game then yes it is.  I have it on my computer and its a RPG.

Your other post why don't you see Mass Effect as a RPG? I consider  it a RPG its just not a Turn Based RPG.  Anything that has Character progression in it and Levels I consider an RPG of some sord. Be it Turned base, Action or FPS or TPS. There is all kinds of sub categories. 

If you dismiss all the RPG elements of a game just because it uses player skill to aim then im sorry I think that is crazy.

Mass Effect and Fallout 3 I recommend.

Kings Bounty: The legend // Mass Effect // The Witcher

fable 2 looks awesome

mount and blade.

best SPRPG EVER!

Fallout 3.  It's extremely addicting.  Seems like Bethesda learned a lot with Oblivion and I'm guessing they really payed attention to the popular player mods.  They've improved many of the flaws that existed in vanilla Oblivion and, just my opinion, but Fallout feels much more like an RPG.  Not to mention, the game can be really immersive at times.  "Dungeon crawling" is a hell of a lot better than Oblivion and it's fairly creepy/disturbing at times.

Fallout 3 has a very unique environment.  It seems to be moddled after mad max even though it takes place in the 50s in the USA.  I love the biker outfits and how everything looks.  The skill system (which is from the original fallout)  is a lot better then one Oblivion uses IMO.  This is all personal opinoin, but it is nice to place in an environment that is out of the ordinary.  One thing I dislike about the game is how you can pick everything up even if it's useless.  I had picked up all the items I came accross and realized I didn't need it so I had to drop it all.

How is Heroes of Might and Might V?  Never got around to it.

Agree with this. Playing it with all the graphics turned up and a great sound system here, and it's extremely immersive. I don't think the writing is as good as Fallout 1 or 2, but it's still very fun on its own. VATS is awesome.

Narshe:  Yea, I can imagine.  My PC is a couple years old, so I can't even think about cranking the graphics all the way up, lol.  But, with the lights off and some good head phones on, those ghoul infested ruins are creepy as hell.  And, I really love all the story and back ground clues they mixed in with computer logs, notes, etc.

My problem right now is tryinig to stick to one character.  I started a new "unarmed" character.  He's pretty entertaining so far.  Rush forward, go into VATS, and wail away.  Now I just need Bloody Mess...

Not to nit pick or anything but the Fallout universe doesn't take place in the 50's.  Its an alternate universe that didn't progress much socially from the 50's but the actual war that caused the devastation occured in 2077 in that timeline.  Ok, geek moment over.

I agree, Fallout 3 is awesome and I can't wait to see what some of the mods are like.

Who does the voice for the cripple pilot (Joker) in Mass Effect? He sounds familiar, but I can't place it.
