RPG Ranking Thread
Everyone who is too afraid to post their list, or too indecisive about their top 5, or can't follow simple instructions, gets killed irl. simple as. just shoot them and problem is solved.
Action-Adventure is a label so generic I refuse to use it. Every adventure contains "Action" or it wouldn't be adventurous. It's the white noise of "I don't know what genre this is".
1. Planescape: Torment
2. Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn
3. NOX
4. Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords
5. Shadowrun: Dragonfall
I never put as much thought in other posts as much as I do with these ones, and I swear I feel they're never just right.

Oooh, had forgotten about that one! That was a seriously good game, yes. :-)
Oh yeah, MM7 is the best in the series IMO, and DMoMM was quite fun in a karate kick sort of way.
I couldn't care less about what Wikipedia says in all honesty. The largest difference between, for example, Twight Princess and Dragon Quest VIII are that the latter is turn based and has a party plus a leveling system and the other is not. If that is enough to count as "role playing" then the genre label has lost all meaning. (Any kind of reactivity or choices on the part of the player are almost completely absent, you wander across the world in a predetermined order similar to the Zelda series. There is no role to play because the protagonist is silent, generic and basically nothing but the vehicle through which you experience the story.)Jordy wrote: ↑ July 29th, 2024, 19:51Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is classed as an action adventure game on Wikipedia.

Also, you already included The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past in your list. I'd bet Wikipedia lists that as an action-adventure too but I haven't checked.
I don't care either way honestly, do as you like. If you still want to use the list feel free to remove Zelda, bump everything up a spot and put Mass Effect 2 in place number 5.

As I am not a game journalist, I am self aware enough that my top 5 are probably not great games because of great stories and game mechanics, but because I personally enjoyed them so much while playing.
It's tough to come up with a list of just 5, but as a start:
• Exile III
• Ultima V
• Fallout: A Post Nuclear Role Playing Game
• Morrowind
• Jagged Alliance 2
That last one (#5) is the tricky part. Might be Jagged Alliance 2, Terraria (if you count it as an RPG), or one of many others like Chrono Trigger or Dragon Age Origins or Baldur's Gate.
==================================================================================================================================================
Edit: I'm going to go with my first impulse and say Jagged Alliance 2, and for no better reason than to annoy people (although I played it a lot and enjoyed it very much).

Disclaimer: I haven't played many of the 'classics', my memory isn't very good, I don't trust my own evaluations, most of what I feel is false and transient, and if I spend too long thinking about it, I'll end up not posting at all.

@1998 Same for you. If you ever find 4 more RPGs you like I'll add your list.
By this logic - would the Stalker games, which I've seen referred to as such, count as cRPGs?
Should all be up to date now.
Will do the next update tomorrow.
Also need to figure out whether to use the same number format for all games or not. I think I'll just go with what's on Steam/Wikipedia.

The STALKER games fail the RPG test because the player's avatar has no inherent stats or perks or anything, it's all just equipment the player chooses and the choices are obvious as there is a defined line of armor, etc...Hauberk wrote: ↑ July 29th, 2024, 20:59By this logic - would the Stalker games, which I've seen referred to as such, count as cRPGs?

Played Bannerlord the most. But warband was also decent.Jordy wrote: ↑ July 29th, 2024, 19:45If you can clear up the Mount and Blade series bit with one game I'll get that added.Vaako wrote: ↑ July 29th, 2024, 18:13If I go by the amount of time played. The first 2 easiely win.
1. Morrowind modded
2. Baldurs Gate 3 modded.
3. Kingdom Come Deliverance
4. Mount and Blade Bannerlord
5. Gothic 2
But Lufia2, Chronotrigger, Fallout NV, Vampires Masquerade are also really nice, just dont have that much replayability for me.

For example: Jagged Alliance 2 has more complex combat and character building than many if not most JRPGs. You can also kit your character out in more different ways than most as well.
You have a better argument for Terraria, but just because there's a lack of a proper narrative other than "defeat all the world bosses, just because".

Here is my list. However, I reject your ranking system because it assumes that:
1) Each game ranking is equidistant from the one above or below it.
2) My understanding of what, say, "4" means is the same as everyone else's understanding of that number.
You should have used the $100 dollar task. viewtopic.php?p=64701-rusty-s-rpghq-ruminations#p64701
Here is my (unranked) list:
The Bard's Tale
Fallout Tactics: Brotherhood of Steel
Icewind Dale 2
J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. 1
Siege of Avalon
Also, as an honorable mention:
Dragon Wars

I don't disagree but I just want something that is approachable for everyone. I'm not asking anyone to sign a contract in blood, just list your top 5 RPGs (even roughly), that you can change whenever you want, so that we can have a list of games that people can look at and go "Huh, maybe I should try that".Acrux wrote: ↑ July 29th, 2024, 21:29Here is my list.

You may as well not bother replying to my posts if it's to argue anything except concrete facts or your personal opinion. I still probably won't see it.
