Well, why not just continue to add other games to the list? That way, hopefully, it will make it to 32.

Not after I checked your profile.

If you have any good RPG's in mind, just either PM them to Rapture, or suggest them here. And vote if you want as well.

These are the games currently in it.

Morrowind
Fallout
Baldur's Gate
Wizardry (6)
Xenogears
Tales of Symphonia
Terranigma
Chrono Trigger
Secret of Mana
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Star Wars: KoToR
Final Fantasy VI
Ragnarok
Skies of Aarcadia Legends
Dark Cloud 2
Final Fantasy VII
Shenmue
Kingdom Hearts
Earthbound (for Ndi)
Vagrant Story
Diablo 2
Planescape: Torment
Grandia
Suikoden

Which totals 24, so to reach 32 we will need EIGHT more.

Post your favourite RPG's, or ones that you played and liked.

Oh, BTW

Morrowind - 9
Shenmue - 0

I'll start the next battle wehn we have 32.

Let's include Fallout...

Done.

Might as well add Illusion Of Gaia as well.

Erm...Pokemon?

I think that you should just go ahead with the battles. I mean, I'm sure we can get to 32 within the next few days.

Put Final Fantasy X back in ;_;

Oh, and after playing it last night, I suggest Star Ocean: Till the End of Time.

Wait guys! I don't recall Raganrok as an Rpg, can like someone refresh my memory on what you do in that game?

Some other games that might help:

Arcanum
Breath of Fire
Dragon quest
Dungeon Siege
Return to Krondor!!
Sacred
Summon night
Ultima!!
Wild arms
Vampire: The Masquerade
Quest for Glory
Neverwinter night
Brave fencer Musashi
Might and Magic
lands of lore
Divine Divinity

16 games that some of which should have been there earlier. The games that I bold out are highly recommended. They had their roots during the time when Rpgs were the Rage, before the fad died out and restarted again.

I also highly recommend these two, along with Secret of Evermore.

All seconded by me.

I don't know if you want to include Xenosaga and Chrono Cross because of Gears and Trigger but they are both very good games.

final fantasy viii

a personal favourate

nah ffviii is out already, sorry kid. There was only 2 spaces for ff games and they were already both filled up so you came a bit late for that. but never mind, I'm sure you have played other games and they can be contributed to later rumbles. so cheers!

If there are only going to be two final fantasys then I suggest not 7 and 10. Seeing as how they are they are bad and all.

Battle 18
Neverwinter night

vs.

Diablo 2

Any disagreeets toi this list, make it known - but only if other people agree.

Diablo 2

As much as I like Neverwinter Nights, it had more than it's share of problems. The internet play is a joke, the single-player game is created fairly amateurly and the combat is quite unbalanced.

Diablo 2 has quick, fun gameplay, with a great online multiplayer. However the game gets old fairly quick, and is more item hunting than actual gameplay after a while.

Diablo 2 is a better game while it lasts, and therefore gets the win from me, but I would be more likely to go back and play Neverwinter Nights than Diablo 2.

I honestly don't know which one to pick. Both of the games are great in their own right. Diablo 2 has a much better multiplayer system, like milkman said, but Neverwinter Nights is much more complex with character development, allowing for greater diversity. I liked the battle system in Diablo 2 better as well because I had to constantly be doing something. In NWN I can often times just sit there and let my character hack away without even touching the keyboard or mouse.

What I like about NWN over D2 the most is the puzzles that are included, as well as side quests. D2 is pretty much straight forward. You hack and slash your way though the game with no real deviation. Sure there are side areas but they don't have anything to do with the story or the development of your character beyond finding a better item (again something that milkman touched on).

When it comes to overall enjoyment I think I would take D2 over NWN though, it was basically Evercrack for me. There was always some new aspect of the game that I was exploring. Originally it was just playing the game and making a character that was capable of a solo hell rush. Then it became developing the perfect MFing character, and then working on alternate builds like a melee sorc (which I must say kicked ass) and elemental druids. When I finally stopped playing I had been involved in Low Level Dueling, which was a really fun aspect of the game that so few people knew about.

So, to cut to the chase, I pick D2 as well.

Diablo 2

I will have to go with NWN just because of quickly I grew tired of Diablo 2. It was good but it was so repetive and NWN's moding community just seems much to be so much better.

I hated Diablo 2, just like I hated Diablo. Just like I hate all the myriad clones of them.

Neverwinter Nights was somewhat flawed, but it was superior overall.

NeverWinter Nights

Diablo's click-and-slash gameplay never really appealed to me.

I also liked Neverwinter Nights. Just the game was too simple and didn't last long enough. Should have a longer story and have more side quests.

Ah... Diablo 2.

* huge quote of the first page, which shows this guy obviously didn't read the rest - Rdx *

ive played timesplitters2 which rocks. i cant wait for the third one to come out. ive played a few others aswell

EDIT by Raidenex - Please read the topic before posting - we are done with the First Person Shooter rumble, and this isn't a thread just asking for your opinion. If you read through the thread, you would realize we vote through the games two at a time in a democratic way. At the moment, we've moved onto RPGs, and the vote is between NeverWinter Nights and Diablo 2.

Diablo 2 gets the vote. Hack-and-slash-and-grab-the-stash action at it's best. To each his own I suppose, but it does'nt seem too popular with the Hard core ppl...... maybe it's the lack of the story......

uhh.....Rabid Monkey, a melee soc you say? That's new..... most of the time the soc plays on the ability to blast the shit out of players at long range.... what was the soc using? a giant ax? mine was using one at one stage, and the only reason i did it that way was because I had the tendency to run out of mana at hell..... not funny when you are surrounded by oblivion knights...

OK, I need to sort myself out, haven't been on for quite a while.

Neverwinter Nights - 4
Diablo 2 - 6

So, it started of a walkover, but then the votes for NWN came in, which made this round fairly close.

Battle 19

Earthbound

vs.

Kingdom Hearts

Earthbound because of classic SNES goodness, and I dispise Kingdom Hearts more than any person should be capable of hating a game.

Earthbound, same reasons as lokiman.

<B>Earthbound</B>. Kingdom Hearts doesn't have Ness.

uhh.....Rabid Monkey, a melee soc you say?

I was using a 7/8 Gaze, SS, Bstar (because sorc elemental masteries added damage to elemental damaging weapons in 1.09), Waterwalks, a 25% Mara's (I think), 2 5% BK rings, 8% string, Naj's Light Plate, and a crafted set of blood gloves that gave me something like 20 stats and 5% ll. I also had a lot of charms in my inventory that I honestly couldn't tell you. If I remember right they were a lot of sharps and stuff, but I don't remember for sure.

Basically I used a HF merc. I would hack away as I cast firewall. I didn't use ES because I had really low mana. I just maxed all my masteries and FW, then put the extra points in Shiver armor. I needed something like 297 dex for max block with Storm (that was total). Most of my damage came from elemental damage so I only used as much str as I needed to use my equipment and put the rest into vit. It worked really well.

Kingdom Hearts.

The story had me enthralled from the beginning, and the inclusino of FF characters in a Disney universe highly appealed to me, and it was a terrific way of introducing my fiance to gaming.

Earthbound I could never really get into - I disliked the graphics, and first person turn based battle systems always bugged me (which is why I can't stand most RPG Maker stuff).

Haven'r played Earthbound yet so Kingdom Hearts it is.

Although I have never played Earthbound (and by the sound of it it's a pity too), I'm voting for it, simply because I despised KH.

Earthbound

Earthbound

earthbound

kingdom hearts

Never heard of Earthbound so Kingdom hearts it is. Though I must admit, I don't really know the snes side very well. I like PS a lot....:-D

Well, this rumble turned to shit.

I'm going to hijack this thread if Rapture doesn't get in here and finish what he started

>=O

Kingdom Hearts

Rapture and I have had a conversation about what to do if he isn't here to update the rumble after three days. He said that I can go ahead and do it, since it has been four. So, let's end this very competitive battle, and get another one started.

Earthbound-7
Kingdom Hearts-5

<B>Battle 20</B>

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic - The king of the star wars games, and arguably the best RPG released on the xbox. It's long, it's dramatic, and it's set 2000 years before anything involving the Skywalkers.

vs.

Baldur's Gate - Beard time, kiddies. it's your typical "i have a lineage that means I'm a child of pure evil" type stuff, pulled off with style and panache that hadn't been seen in a PC RPG for a long time.

NOTE: Special thanks to mrmonkeyman for the great bios of both games. I vote for <B>KOTOR</B>. IMO, it's by-far the best Star Wars game to date, and is arguably the best Xbox game out on the market as of now.

I vote for KOTOR. It's just so much more dramatic than BG.

I feel bad about voting for KOTOR considering it is ran off pretty much the same engine as the original Baldur's Gate game was all those years ago. But time does make things better, and KOTOR was an absolutely great game.

My avatar says to vote for KOTOR, even though I still love Baldur's Gate.

Thanks Smokey. Trouble with the net. Seems I didn't do this round, I vote KoToR

BG simply a great game.

It's long, it's dramatic, and it's set 2000 years before anything involving the Skywalkers.

Unless you happened to name your character Exeter Skywalker....

The force is with KOTOR in this one. The best RPG, nay, the best game created IMO.

KOTOR

A little look at the games, due to boredom.

KoToR gets the vote. gorgeous graphics and all that jazz.... plus it is in the star wars universe before Gorge ruined it!

KOTOR.

Though KotoR is indeed the best Star Wars game to date, I highly am baised for Baldurs Gate. I don't think I've ever loved a game like that before.

Well, a nice round, with KoToR coming out victorous.

KoToR - 8
Baldurs Gate - 2

Battle 21
Final Fantasy VII (not really needing to put any explanations here, you'll need to decide for yourself)

vs.

Breath of Fire (Someone will have to tell me about this one...)

Breath of Fire.

I hate Breath of Fire for its crap ending but I loath FF7. It�s like the 2000 presidential election all over again.

Final Fantasy 7, because I dislike nearly every Breath of Fire game, and FF7 started a whole new generation of games trying to copy it, and some of them were pretty good as well.

Gah... I hate them both.

I think I'll vote for Final Fantasy VII because I want to see it get smashed by either a really good game or a really crappy one, not a mediocre one.

final fantasy VII

FFVII because I haven't played BoF.

Final Fantasy VII, because it's still the second best Final Fantasy, not to mention the one that got me hooked on the series in the first place.

All the n00bie worship is not a good reason to put down a good game :(

Thread 16724 How about those reasons instead?

I didn't really like the BoF series that much and I did like FF7</B> so that is what I will vote for.
