What is your favorite rpg series?
« on: October 18, 2014, 07:14:57 PM »
So what is your favorite rpg series?  Mine is Final fantasy. FF2, ff3, ff7.  FF7 is in my opion the best rpg game ever made bar none, The ones after that just arent as fun at least to me.  After that i'd say the QFG series, and Dragon Warrior series.  For newer series have to say Quest for infamy is the best i have played in about 20 years! :)

Don't recall what category Heavy Metal F.A.A.K. was but it was quite enjoyable.

@garr
you know they are makin number 2 of faak?
and that would be prolly, urmm 3rd person platform shooter? idk something like that

@ chadly

well for sure FF.. is one of the best until you hit a certain one..
I cant believe it went so downhill

X was the last ok so so one, then X-2 with the chicks and charlies angels style just made me vomit.. then the WOW version bs non online game, think it was 11 or 12, I forget, terrible game just like the new one is terrible..

FF2 and 3 for sure  then 7 8 and 9  love the cards stuff in 7 8 9  but yep 7 is the bestest on that lineup
odd we have the same order of likes in FF world!
hmm console i like the
altair iris games,

the .hack games

Shin megami tensei series Persona esp (even won a contest to make the best persona on ign)

fav series prolly
suikoden series(which i own all these games but now cant seem to friggen find my box with just that series and its a great one from ps1 to ps2 conversion even saves carry over!
AHH its driving me nuts there are so many of these and i cant even find one.. where the hell did i put them please let me know :P

ys series

grandia

wild arms

dragon warrior haha
you would prolly kill me to see my DW collection, I even have the gold and silver and blue wii slime controllers
SILVER n gold SOLD ONLY in japan, cost me 200$ per controller
love those games

tons of single rpgs on ps1 and ps2 rock hard  vs xbox.. no offense to it but .. the true rpg lovers play sony :P esp if you like Japanese games

dont really consider qfg in the same arena as FF's games

as far as my fav? series? idk,

Fallout is up there (no not the new ones ICK) thats just skyrim with guns,
fallout 1 2 and the turn based... i loved
BG series, no not the revamp thats buggy as hell
also i loved the elder scrolls series up until morrowind after that its totally poop

and not many know this but there are sooo many TES games, only 2 are modern  oblivion and skyrim both made for the console kids with no brains its so easy, almost plays the game for you

talking redguard and arena etc..

its not really a series , but earthbound.. again i must mention you to play that if you havent
same with

Planescape: torment  just hilarious

not sure about series games not many exist on pc, just console, and again im now going nuts lookin for my suikoden games.. ahhh they are NOT cheap..

Favorite is Ultima, with 5, 6 and 7 fighting for the top spot. That's why I'm backing Shroud of the Avatar, since it's the same creator and he is trying to get back to those roots.


In a close second is Quest for Glory, which is why this game, plus Hero-U and Mage's Initiation are on my list.


No other series game me the same enjoyment as those two.

urmm i cant really say QFG is an rpg mates , it has some rpg elements but its an adventure game

so id say not to count that

HOW THE HELL did i forget ultima!

oh btw found my suidoken games whoop whoop

so you dont like any of the games i listed?
or have you not heard of many of em?

btw how the hell did i miss a new ultima game!?
is this you on the forums asking for pledges?
oh im so damned in, is kickstarter complete, is game out, im to excited to read!

lol



again, kinda hard to compare true rpgs, to qfg which again i perceive as an advent with rpg elements but not an rpg game

In one of the newer interviews (somewhere during the last years), when Corey Cole talked about Hero-U and what path it will be taking, he brought out, and I quote, that Quest for Glory was 60% adventure game & 40% rpg, while Hero-U will be 40% adventure game and 60% rpg. So based on that, I'm gonna pick QFG series as my favorite uh... 40% rpg? :D

Betrayal at Krondor easily the best CRPG. I think Baldurs Gate II is a close second.

Having programmed on QFI, I can definitely say that QFG does count as an RPG.  YEP.

is it not also an adventure?

i mean if i went to a store that puts games in cat's
point and clicks no matter what they have in them, are never called rpgs,  just advents with rpg elements

but now how the hell can i disagree!
hehe
i concede and do agree qfg series and qfi are rpg like,
but I guess this is me comparing these advents to the die hard ps2 JRPGS which are so much rpg that it can hurt heads!

haha oh and klytos yes BAK!!! KROOONDOOORR !!

and i do remember talking to corey about the older qfg, and how some of them are more advent vs some more rpg but he still called em adventures

but im going with what you all are saying!

main reason, you have a role and you play it, and you have stats and paths!
but if thats true then many "advents" are in truth rpgs

does no one like the old school c64 SSI dnd games like i did?  awww those were so fun and needing graph paper, kinda like bards tale (another great series) the old not really the new but anything with cary ewwwwwwwwess* as you wish , rocks!

how the HELL did i also forget witcher!
ty goat!

1. the devs made a really cheap and wonky first game! but it somehow still ROCKED!
2. the devs made part 2 and LEARNED from mistakes and made a huge CE bundle (which I love) dice, statue bust, cards oh my
3. the new witcher, which i have on preorder has even more CE stuff, and costs quite a bit!
but if its anything in the path of the old ways?
this witcher 3 will "rock your socks off"

The series is a good example of the games which combine action, adventure and RPG genres. And they are heavy on the story with choices and consequences. So I'd say those who like classic RPGs appreciate these games too. But they of course draw a lot from the Witcher books, which provide a wealth of background for them to build on.
