[G]

Sorry, I am all voted out.

[Bad Company]

Civilization 4
Gran Turismo
Heroes of Might and Magic III
Red Baron
Leisure Suit Larry - In the Land of the Lounge Lizards

I figured I'd leave RA2 and D2 out, cause they should get a free pass in.

[Jeritron]

Super Mario 3
Super Mario 64
Perfect Dark
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Ghostbusters The Video Game (2009)


I don't play that many video games anymore. I mostly bust out the old stuff when I do. The few games I've enjoyed in recent years are Shadow of the Colossus, Gears of War, Halo and a few others. I enjoyed them a lot, but I didn't rank them above my childhood favs.
There are a few others that I didn't include, but they're mostly Marios and Zeldas.

Also, I know the last one I listed came out yesterday. I don't care. I beat it already and it's the most fun I've had playing a video game since I was a kid.

[My Final Heaven]

Street Fighter Alpha 3
Super Metroid
Final Fantasy VIII
Metal Gear Solid 3
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

[Gertner]

There should a ban on RPG's in this tourney. Cause they suck ass.

[Hornicane]

Riven
The Neverhood
WWF No Mercy
Sonic 3
Mortal Kombat 2

[Jeritron]

I love Sonic 3 and No Mercy

Yeah! RPGs are for Abercrombie wearing, Dave Matthews loving, gamecube playing bros just like Futurama!

[Hornicane]

I've got a Gamecube and some Natty Ice. Wanna come over and bro out?

[Gertner]

pretty much. "let's use my fairy dust to increase it's potion levels by two" like what the fuck is that.

[Nark Order]

I'll bring my surfboard. BE RIGHT THERE!

[Nark Order]

Gertner, how is it that you hate everything awesome?

[DAMN iNATOR]

In no particular order...
Super Mario 64
Sonic The Hedgehog 2

NBA JAM (PS2)
WWE SmackDown! vs. RAW 2006

[Requiem]

God of War 1
God of War 2
Mass Effect
Asheron's Call 1
EVE Online

[DAMN iNATOR]

Gertner, how is it that you hate everything awesome?

It's a valid point. There are some RPG's that because of their bullshit leveling system or some other huge detail, just renders a game completely broken and/or unplayable. Note that this is not the case with most RPG's but still it is something that I wish more RPG game makers would adress.

[Requiem]

Honorable mention to:

Shadow of the Colossus
Mario 64
Zelda: OoT

Goldeneye
Tecmo Superbowl

[Gertner]

Gertner, how is it that you hate everything awesome?

because what the hell is fun about standing two feet in front of an enemy who does nothing while you take 10 seconds to mix some potions up to attack, and then wait 10 more seconds while the enemy does the same thing?

[Gertner]

I should have been more specific. Turn based rpg's should be disqualified.

[DAMN iNATOR]

I should have been more specific. Turn based rpg's should be disqualified.

Such as Pokémon and all that stupid shit?

[Gertner]

I know I'm gonna catch hell for saying this, but shit like Final Fantasy. The visuals are awesome but the gameplay is like watching paint dry.

[Fryza]

Pokémon Red
Tetris
Fallout 3
Mass Effect
Dynasty Warriors 3

Probably the five games I've spent the most time playing.

[Requiem]

A lot of strategy games fall under the same category, but a lot of people like those as well.

IE - Civ IV is one of the greatest games ever, but it is turn-based. I get what you're saying, but I don't see why those games shouldn't 'count' just because you don't like them.

Leveling a character to beat "X" boss will be in RPGs until the Sun explodes. People should get over it.

See, this is never going to work because everyone here is a Nintendo fanboy.
Let's just cut to the chase, name mario 3 the greatest, and leave it at that.

Also, HOMM3 is a turn based RPG of sorts, and it's fucking awesome. So shut the fuck up.

There is nothing awesome about Turn Based RPG's

[road doggy dogg]

There is plenty awesome about turn-based RPGs.

[Anybody Thrilla]

I guess you didn't see how many people have Final Fantasy 7 on their lists here. It's more strategy and puzzle solving than anything, centered around an immense storyline. On top of that, you can play for HOURS. I dunno, if you don't like it, that's fine, but there's no reason to shit all over it here. It's an exercise in futility.

[Kalyx triaD]

Personally, FF8 > FF7. Better everything.

[Requiem]

While I don't like the FF series, one of the greatest games of all time was somewhat turn-based, and that is Chrono Trigger.

[Testicle]

Super Mario 64
Diablo II
World of Warcraft
Shadow of the Colossus
Goldeneye 007

[Testicle]

I am happy to see that many people have shadow of the colosssus on their list, that game is fucking amazing.

[Krimzon7]

Goldeneye
Double Dragon II
Any Madden
Final Fantasy VII (and X for that matter)
The Guardian Legend

[LoDownM]

Personally, FF8 > FF7. Better everything.

FF7 > FF9 > FF8


Freya > Every character in FF8.

[OssMan]

Quina is greater than Freya, but yes still greater than FF8.

Not that it'll make a difference because you're only hearing what you want to hear anyway, but whatevs.

JPRG games generally have amazing storylines, likable characters, (in Final Fantasy's case great music as well, but that's because Uematsu is wonderful), and amazing settings.

They're obviously not the kind of game you invite your friends over for a couple hours to play, since they're largely single-player affairs. It's like reading an interactive book. Some people find that boring, sure, but there are plenty of people who also find the countless WW2 FPS clones incredibly tedious as well. It's all subjective.

People saying FF8 is better than FF7 makes me question their sanity sometimes.

Yeah well feature sets speak louder than your inquiry.
