06.23.15 | I'm more into DOS games lately |
emester
06.23.15 | Been more a fan of JRPG's but some games on here like Baldurs Gate, the Interplay Fallout Games and Wasteland are favorites of mine. Would also put ES:Arena And ES II:Daggerfall on here personally |
Flugmorph
06.23.15 | Lets stay with the isometric view |
Flugmorph
06.23.15 | Played Arena some time ago though. |
Ishysez

DrJohn
06.23.15 | Plus VI's score rules... Terra's theme |
Piglet
06.23.15 | mm planescape that game. also love how rpgcodex is like the sputnik of rpgs, just absolutely rife with cynics and narcissists i love it |
Flugmorph
06.23.15 | RPG Codex
Doesn't scale to your level.
they are badass motherfuckers mane |
Flugmorph
06.23.15 | im really excited about Torment: Tides of Numenera actually

KeithStone582
06.23.15 | I've always wanted to play planescape: torment. |
UnderTheNorthernScar

Shuyin
06.23.15 | chrono trigger |
zakalwe
06.23.15 | Eye of the Beholder |
Space Jester
06.23.15 | Not really the same genre but Terranigma for SNES is an awesome action JRPG |
Flugmorph
06.23.15 | i guess classic western rpg's are not that famous in the usa since all i get are fucking jrpg's from you guys |
zakalwe
06.23.15 | Eye of the Beholder!!!! |
ChoccyPhilly
06.23.15 | Needs Runescape |
Flugmorph
06.23.15 | runescape is an mmorpg if i'm not missinformed.
and eye of the beholder is a dungeon crawler, not isometric view |
Flugmorph
06.23.15 | by the way, i didn't just asked for recs of old rpg's but also for your thoughts on these games i listed (mainly) |
zakalwe
06.23.15 | Good God. Have you ever kissed a girl? |
Trebor.
06.23.15 | These aren't really classic RPGs, more like silver or bronze era |
Final Origin
06.23.15 | An absolute classic probably not many have heard of is Terranigma. It was on the SNES and it was amazing. I still have the game in its original box and everything and its worth a lot. |
Funeralopolis
06.23.15 | play gothic |
danielito19
06.23.15 | usa rpgs are too open-ended. i want to be told a story, not make a story. i get why some people like it the other way though |
Flugmorph
06.23.15 | Cmon everyone knows terranigma. It is the most famous "sleeper hit" |
Space Jester
06.23.15 | I already said Terranigma c'mon bros don't steal my thunder |
Trebor.
06.23.15 | "usa rpgs are too open-ended. i want to be told a story, not make a story. i get why some people like it the other way though"
I mean yeah but RPGs come from the tradition of making the story as you play it cuz they all come from the traditions of dungeons and dragons and games like that |
danielito19
06.23.15 | thanks for the condescending history lesson professor |
FlyheadMetal
06.23.15 | those somolian pirates use some classic rpgs i think the russians gave em to em in like the 60s |
Final Origin
06.23.15 | I obviously didn't read properly, sorry! haha |
Space Jester
06.23.15 | It's cool we're Terranigma bros now |
Flugmorph
06.24.15 | Role playing games should be just about that, playing a role and experiencing an adventure that your role would experience with their decisions and actions |
ZombicidalMan
06.24.15 | baldur's gate 2 was fantastic. I also put a lot of hours into dark alliance 2, which while inferior, was pretty great |
Funeralopolis
06.24.15 | anyone know any other RPGs where I can capture creatures besides Pokemon and Ni No Kuni? |
worthlessscab
06.24.15 | you can capture snotty nosed children in fallout |
Piglet
06.24.15 | anyone been playing pillars of spliffdom it's not a bad game at all |
Evreaia
06.24.15 | That site says DA:O is only mediocre
Gotta bitchslap that site acros the fucking globe.... |
worthlessscab
06.24.15 | it is mediocre in comparison. It's like when you are just getting into metal and think it can't get any better than opeth |
Flugmorph
06.24.15 | doesn't seem wrong so far though |
Aftertheascension
07.09.15 | daggerfall pls |
Flugmorph
07.09.15 | planescape arrived just today in my mail actually (after 3 weeks of waiting because of a post strike)
has a gorgeus packaging and it was fairly cheap, about 10€. |
Scoot
07.09.15 | golden sun |
Flugmorph
07.09.15 | not really a 'classic rpg' in that sense but surely a favorite of mine. oblivion was one of the first rpg's i played (i believe dungeon siege 2 (wich was also great at that time) and some other little games where the only ones i've played before that).
i was really obsessed with that game at that time were i played a game much longer than i would today because i just didn't had the money and knowlegde to buy anything else for some time.
but shivering isles still is my favorite addon hands down (frozen throne beeing close #2) |
Alastor
07.10.15 | have you played gothic II, flug? best rpg aka best game ever. |
Flugmorph
07.10.15 | unfortunately not yet. i played III with massive support of mods tho, quite enjoyed it, especially the desert landscapes. i still have good memories of them. |
silentstar
07.10.15 | "anyone know any other RPGs where I can capture creatures besides Pokemon and Ni No Kuni?"
hmm, off the top of my head: persona (all of them but 3 and 4 are best), shin megami tensei (once again, all of them), final fantasy xiii-2 |
