12.01.12 | Fallout New Vegas - this game took what Fallout 3 did and made it better. the story is better and so is the place where play. Reminds me of the 1st 2 games.

12.01.12 | @lakes exactly man, and yeah i do need to play those.
Also i dont care about chrono trigger, pokemon games are boring as hell. Mass Effect 1 is ten times better than mass effect 2 and i agree Dragon age 2 sucks balls. |

12.01.12 | My favorite RPG (not including Pokemon) is still Chrono Trigger. That's the only one I've played more than once, and on more than one system (SNES emulator and DS).
Aside from that, I really, really love FFXII (the first Final Fantasy I ever played). Chrono Cross and Star Ocean III are awesome, as well. And I think I'm a bigger fan of Fallout 3 than I am of Fallout: New Vegas, but that's just me. |

12.01.12 | I have a hard time re-playing Mass Effect 2 because I only care about the combat and it takes forever to skip all the bullshit, plus to get the loyalty missions you have to talk to everybody after every mission and just spam the A button and it gets old real fast |

12.02.12 | Good list. Though, I reckon Dragon Age sucks.
Also, Oblivion is better than Skyrim in every way, not just because you played it more! Trust me on this ;) |
apert
12.02.12 | but skyrim has dragons!!!! |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | yeah, it also has a freakin' sweet combat system and improved magic, doesn't make it better. |
Fluttertrank
12.02.12 | "Sorry man, I don't play video games anymore other than throwback 90's classics."
haha yeah man i get ya. same here, besides some of these games.
"Oblivion is better than Skyrim in every way, not just because you played it more! Trust me on this ;)"
i mean idk, i like Skyrim more in a technical way, but i just have more memories with Oblivion. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | Oblivion is better, not only because I put 1000 hours into it, but because it's just got a charm and distinct character that makes it so lovable. Skyrim had nothing the keep me playing past the 80 hour mark. |
apert
12.02.12 | Oblivion on skyrims engine would be so good |
Fluttertrank
12.02.12 | @micheal yeah i agree. but then i also love the leveling, and the quests and the area. haha i just dont know. @apert yeah man, i cant wait tell a Fallout 4 cause its going to amazing if they use that engine. |
apert
12.02.12 | yeah i did 100 hours on skyrim finished all the main quest lines, then i got Dark Souls and haven't played it since.
There isn't any quest as good as the Dark brotherhood quest in oblivion where you have to kill all the party quests in the manor without them finding out. literally the best moment in oblivion |

12.02.12 | its true there were a lot of draugr dungeons |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | Oblivion was full of so many good quests, easter eggs, characters, landscapes, just everything. Skyrim is just such a dull, lifeless and uninspiring world to adventure in. Oblivion was fun and quirky and rewarded you for putting in the time. Skyrim just had nothing to come back for. |
apert
12.02.12 | seriously definitely play dark souls, you won't regret it |
Fluttertrank
12.02.12 | hmm idk if a agree with that michael but i can see what you mean. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | "i havent played dark souls yet. might never play it."
Holy fuck DUDE
you need to play Dark Souls. Honestly, the best game of the last 6 years. Seriously. Just. Fuckin'. It's so cheap. And it's so immersive. And there's so many play styles. It's just. GET IT. |
Fluttertrank
12.02.12 | i might, idk though. |
demigod93
12.02.12 | is it better than demon's souls? that one was alright but didnt amaze me. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | I bought Skyrim and Dark Souls at the same time, got bored of Skyrim after I beat the main quest and was horribly let down (I was so excited for Skyrim because Oblivion is my favourite game of all time), then I picked up Dark Souls, hated it because I sucked, but I picked up my pace and was like WOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAH best game ever. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | I never played Demon's Souls, but I've seen the whole game be played through, and in my opinion, Dark Souls is better. |

12.02.12 | yeah dark souls has a really steep learning curve, but when you get good at it, its one of the best games of recent times. |
Fluttertrank
12.02.12 | well i love challenge so thats right up my alley. i just dont buy games anymore. so i may. |
apert
12.02.12 | if you love a challenge you need the game now, one of the reasons its popular is its difficulty |
demigod93
12.02.12 | "picked up Dark Souls, hated it because I sucked"
This is exactly what happened to me with Demon's Souls, bought it out of a bargain bin about a year ago for cheap and have only really played it a handful of times. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | I was stuck on the first area of the game in Dark Souls (not counting the tutorial area) for over 8 hours because I couldn't beat it. I played for like an hour a day, got pissed off and yelled at my friend for recommending me such a shitty game. I eventually got past the area and just went further and I was like, "hey, it's not THAT bad" |

12.02.12 | yeah the bell gargoyles boss had me stuck for hours on my first playthrough |

12.02.12 | You can't play WoW because you don't enjoy it, or because something is literally preventing you from doing so?
The novelty of WoW is definitely gone, but over the years they've really nailed it in a lot of areas. It isn't any less challenging, they've just ironed out a lot of stuff that was convoluted and/or impossible back in the day.
Mists of Pandaria is the best expansion since Burning Crusade, the lore is amazing and the zones are gorgeous. Quests are getting more varied and interesting, rep grinds yield sweeter rewards, and there is just so goddamn much to do now. I struggle to choose between it all |
Fluttertrank
12.02.12 | i've seen gameplay of dark souls, and i know i would love it. just got to buy it. |
Fluttertrank
12.02.12 | @Reverend haha ew no.
@Polyethylene no i cant play it cause it sucks that damn hard. its so easy, the talent tree is fucking stupid and gone. anyone fucking 6 year old can play that game now. its sucks hard dude. im sorry. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | The Bell Gargoyles weren't too hard for me. I was stuck in the Undead Burg at the part with the first black knight and the Taurus Demon. I kept trying to fight the black knight with no game experience and a shitty default weapon and I cried.
I eventually found out how to get the Drake Sword early on and it made the game a lot easier for a beginner, and I don't regret it because if I didn't, I probably would have given up. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | "it angers me that EA ruined the 3rd game."
Sorry, just read this. I don't see what was wrong with it. Mass Effect 3 ruled, everything about it ruled. Hell, the ending was even fucking spectacular if you follow the indoctrination theory. |
Fluttertrank
12.02.12 | " Hell, the ending was even fucking spectacular if you follow the indoctrination theory."
the gameplay is nice, but the armor, weapons and upgrades systems are easier and boring. The ending sucks no matter what. the indoctrination theory is still stupid to me. The game should have ended so damn epically, but no they fucking ruined. no surprise though EA is fucking balls and i wish everyone who worked there lives in a gutter. no lie. |
apert
12.02.12 | I didn't get the drake sword till after the Gargoyles. It made the first part of the game before Sen's Fortress alot easier.
That first black knight can be a real pain for new players, didn't have much trouble with the Taurus Demon though. |
apert
12.02.12 | ME3 was awesome right up to last 10 mins. I must have played about 30 hours in 4 days to complete the game |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | "the gameplay is nice, but the armor, weapons and upgrades systems are easier and boring. The ending sucks no matter what. the indoctrination theory is still stupid to me.

I loved all the armour and weapons, etc. And the game was so good that I can forgive the ending. I mean, so many hours playing and having fun, a 5 minute ending will not take away all the fun I had beforehand. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | "didn't have much trouble with the Taurus Demon though."
He knocked me off the bridge like 10 times whenever I tried fighting him, then my friend told me that I had to turn around and climb the ladder. I was like, "there's a ladder?!" |
Fluttertrank
12.02.12 | nah i hate it. its not bad gameplay wise, but its so simple now. its stupid. its gears of effect. i loved the thousands of different weapons, armor and upgrades in ME1. It actually takes some management and time. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.02.12 | Gonna go play all the Mass Effect games again. |
ApexPredator
12.02.12 | Dark Souls |

12.02.12 | Mass effect was never as much about the combat as the characters and your choices |

12.02.12 | when ME1 comes out on PSN im gonna go for a full trilogy playthrough |

12.02.12 | Mass Effect 1 is the best ME game but they're all brilliant. 3rd one wasn't fucked up at all apart from the ending (which doesn't detract from the rest of the game), although the gameplay didn't change much from ME2.
Fallout NV's atmosphere was nowhere near as good as Fallout 3's but the story was better. |
Vakarian12
12.02.12 | Divinity 2 was fantastic, one of my favourite games this gen. |

ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | cool Flutter. Some really good shit on here. Mass Effect was horrible though. Dragon Age Origins is also trash. I was kinda disappointed to see Oblivion too, worst Elder Scrolls games and one of the most mediocre rpgs ever made in my opinion in terms of content. Been playin New Vegas a lot recently too, along with Demons Souls and the witcher 2. New Vegas has really great writing and deep role playing elements, a lot better than 3 imo. So much good shit on this list and Icewind Dale 2 rules. 13 is the best rpg ive ever played btw, and I only started playing it like right before skyrim came out and its 100x better than oblivion |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | morrowind
pokemon first two gens
witcher 2
demons souls
baldurs gate 2
guild wars 2
dragon warrior
daggerfall
dark souls
icewind dale
guild wars 2(shits on wow)
those r my faves. Really been meaning to play the old Fallout's More, Planescape, Baldur's Gate 1, and give Neverwinter Nights 1 a shot since 2, despite sucking in game design was a huge part of my childhood. |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | i guess i really like skyrim too but its more flawed than any game i put on my list |
demigod93
12.03.12 | skyrim is just kind of addictive sometimes in a way
it's so fun but at the same time its flaws can be so obvious |
Lakes
12.03.12 | I just finished lonesome road for new vegas myself |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | agreed. i loved a lot of it and shits on lolblivion and it's definitely immersive because of the landscape, but the writing at times is really mediocre and the questing/rpg elements are really over simplified and lack depth |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | how was that Lakes? im still working on the main story |
MichaelSnoxall
12.03.12 | You like Skyrim but think Oblivion sucks? HOW? |
Lakes
12.03.12 | It's great, maybe my favorite of the dlcs. Sheds a lot of light on the main story and the other courier. Pretty challenging too, even at level 38 |
Lakes
12.03.12 | Oblivion is shit snoxall, sorry |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | i could write an essay on why skyrim shits heaps on oblivion
but its doesnt matter since morrowind is way better than both
and yea Lakes what Im finding interesting is that NV is actually difficult in some parts, fallout 3
was like oblivion most of the time especially if you had enough ammo, nothing was too hard
new vegas actually makes me struggle a bit |
demigod93
12.03.12 | I liked Oblivion when it came out but looking back on it it's pretty bad. Tried playing it recently and just could not get into it. |
Lakes
12.03.12 | New Vegas is a moderately challenging game even at higher levels. Dead money will kick your ass if you aren't careful, awesome dlc though |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | yea it sucks
ive tried really getting into oblivion multiple times, even when I was younger and I still think it sucks to this very day. I had no problem becoming immersed in Skyrim when it came out, Daggerfall when I started playing it a few months ago, and Morrowind, which I've been playing off and on since 2011 |
MichaelSnoxall
12.03.12 | "Oblivion is shit snoxall, sorry"
Damn, you totally just destroyed my entire world. Now I can never enjoy Oblivion again! Woe is me.
But seriously, Oblivion's still my favourite game of all time. |
Lakes
12.03.12 | LOL |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | yea my build is pretty combat heavy though, focus on guns and survival, personality is even a bit high but everything else is pretty low besides science. I made a build where I can hold my own in a fight with the right weapons but that leaves me shorthanded in other aspects of the game |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | oblivion would only be my fave game if it was the only game ive ever played |
Wolfhorde
12.03.12 | "You like Skyrim but think Oblivion sucks? HOW?"
Skyrim has better mods, and honestly - that's one of the best things about Bethesda games. Oh, also the story is heaps better, the VA in general is better - with some tweaks the world is more immersive (even if you're all 'immersiveness' denying most mods, there are a good couple that definitely make it more immersive). The world is more lively (again, can also be easily tweaked further with some mods), the character system is better. Shall I go on? (oh, this is coming from someone who was a total skepticist of Skyrim since it came out) |
Lakes
12.03.12 | The only problem with new vegas is the raised level cap from the dlcs, you eventually just become a master of everything |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | the only thing you said that is accurate is that the world is more immersive/lively. The world in Skyrim cripples the shitty Oblivion landscape/populous. skyrim's main story sucks as much as oblivion's did except the plot twist with parthunax ruled
and lakes whatever as long as they make you build up to become a god and its not lolblivion, i dont mind an rpg rewarding you with op status once you level cap |
Wolfhorde
12.03.12 | In case you're playing FNV on your PC try going with Arwen's Realism Tweaks, Project Nevada and stuff like MoMod. Shit's gonna kick your ass. Deathclaws now really mean deathclaws and they're gonna fucking rape you unless you have incredibly strong gear and are at least lvl 15+.
Also, hardcore mode with stuff like PN is definitely gonna keep your ass busy staying alive. |
MichaelSnoxall
12.03.12 | Skyrim has a horrible, dull and lifeless world. And the world's worst quests. And the questlines are all horribly short. And it's just such a downstep from Oblivion. The only great thing about it is the combat system. |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | im a pc gamer especially when it comes to rpgs but for some reason im playing witcher 2 and new vegas on console how unelite |
Lakes
12.03.12 | Yeah it's not that big of a deal tbh. Playing the game in hardcore mode is great if you haven't tried it btw |
Keyblade
12.03.12 | damn no chrono trigger |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | "Skyrim has a horrible, dull and lifeless world. And the world's worst quests. And the questlines are all horribly short"- first sentence perfectly describes oblivion. Skyrim's questing system is incredibly simplified but the quests in general were better written than the ones I did in Oblivion. The thieves guild questline was entertaining and the whole location and character to the thieves guild was awesome, way better than the one in lolblivion |
Lakes
12.03.12 | That's hilarious snoxall because last time I checked oblivion's world consisted of a bunch of copy pasted forests and meadows whereas skyrim's at least tries to be unique |
Wolfhorde
12.03.12 | "Skyrim has a horrible, dull and lifeless world."
Disagree. Once again, if you're playing PC and you're not TOTAL 'I MUST PLAY VANILLA' or 'I'm too stupid for mods' check out some stuff on the Nexus.
"And the world's worst quests. And the questlines are all horribly short."
Short, maybe. Worst quests? Wut? Dark Brotherhood, bitch. And, once again: Look at some stuff like expansion of the Dark Brotherhood, Moonpath to Elsweyr and stuff of the like.
"And it's just such a downstep from Oblivion. The only great thing about it is the combat system. "
Dude have you even met Valfar and Hoth? No? Shut up. |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | honestly skyrim's world was awesome. Really well done and made up for the lame writing and incredibly simple questlines and role playing elements. But the world in oblivion is so fucking bad I don't see how you could say skyrim's world sucks but oblivion is ur fave game, maybe youre trolling idk its legit impossible the world/characters/writing in oblivion are all laughably mediocre compared to morrowind and less impressive than skyrim's take on all 3 subjects |
MichaelSnoxall
12.03.12 | Yeah, the Thieves Guild was great. For the first two missions. When you actually did cool thieving. The rest (the other three! missions) were just dull as fuck cave runs. |
Wolfhorde
12.03.12 | To be entirely honest, this sounds incredibly similar to your reasoning why you think Borderlands 2 is a shitty game without even having played it for a minute. It doesn't sound like you even WANT to give it a chance. |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | "That's hilarious snoxall because last time I checked oblivion's world consisted of a bunch of copy pasted forests and meadows whereas skyrim's at least tries to be unique" truth hard
skyrim and morrowind are both, for the most part, totally handcrafted, dungeon's included. Oblivion's world, especially the wilderness, was copied and pasted a lot, I've even seen pictures on the web proving it. Certain settings specifically. Characters included and character models. I mean for christs sake Morrowind has barely any voice acting or ai 'life schedules' and it's ten times more organic, real, character driven and full of color/variation than shitblivion

12.03.12 | I played around a hundred hours of Skyrim and about a thousand hours in Oblivion. I got about twenty hours into Bordlands 1 before not wanting to waste any more time on it. I didn't want to pick up Borderlands 2 because I hated the first. Seems a logical reason to not want to play it. |

12.03.12 | skyrim's guilds are shit but oblivion's aren't much better |

12.03.12 | I loved all Oblivion's quests and guilds. Shoot me. |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | lol thats not what the thieves guild in skyrim was but ok dude
it was way more engaging than any questline in oblivion, not that I played many because the environment and dialogue were so laughably dull I found it near impossible to enjoy |

12.03.12 | Borderlands was awesome, Borderlands 2 is even better. if you didnt like the first try the second, it's almost like Diablo compared to Diablo 2
only not quite as big a difference |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | borderlands 2 is pretty overrated but still a lot of fun, def a great game to play with friends
definitely has better writing than oblivion though
and lakes yea i agree except i like the thieves guild in skyrim a lot in terms of story, it's place in the world and how the story starts off. i also thought the dark brotherhood was sweet. companions and mages sucked so bad |

12.03.12 | Oblivion is really baby's first RPG |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | even a baby would be smart enough to know how dull and gay oblivion is

12.03.12 | the writing in Borderlands 2 is one of the things that appeals to me the most actually. it's hilarious |
Lakes
12.03.12 | Play arcanum too |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | lol the writing in borderlands 2 is so inconsistent, half the time the pop culture references and humor is so well done and half the time it's forced and fucking retarded
lol lakes after i beat morrowind fully
finish this playthrough of witcher 2
finish demons souls completely and dark souls
beat new vegas
beat baldurs gate 1
ill play arcanum
srsly though i love the whole setting arcanum has i rlly wanna play it |
Lakes
12.03.12 | Arcanum has one of the best stories I've ever played in an rpg
Amazing atmosphere too |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | rpgs with engaging stories and good lore are unbeatable i could play a good one for fucking hours
and lakes i kno ur 2 elite for modern gaming but srsly play fucking witcher omg the protagonist is kinda one dimensional but omg omg omg 5/5 |
MichaelSnoxall
12.03.12 | Dark Souls has an awesome story and lore |
Lakes
12.03.12 | 2 elite
Still gotta finish might and magic vi!! Then onward to vii |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | dark souls has great fucking atmosphere, art, mobs
no story arc at all though, demon's souls doesn't have one either though |

12.03.12 | Dark Souls has an incredible story and lore, it's just not told the same way other game do. Lore and key story elements are found in dialogue with all NPCs, in item descriptions and in the few cutscenes the game has. Also in the in-world game, just little bits and pieces you have to take notice of all contribute the the story. |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | to be fair i havent played dark souls as much as demons souls
and even if its not told the same way, in terms of plot arc and development of other npcs, there was none from what i saw
again i dont even count that a flaw, the game does fine without any emphasis on story |
Lakes
12.03.12 | Dude neutral might and magic fucking rules
Huge open world, 4 party members, turn based/real time combat, awesome exploration, great loot, no level scaling |
ThunderNeutral21
12.03.12 | not rlly into party members most of the time in games like that
lol mass effect kinda turned me off to the whole concept worst game ever 1/100 |

12.03.12 | Neutral, when you play Dark Souls more, check out EpicNameBro's Youtube story and lore videos. They're very insightful, because if you don't pay attention then entire story flies right past the unknowing player.
It's really well-written and enthralling stuff: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Balq4yCcAJg
He has heaps of vids, so check' em out. |
