The Best PS3 RPGs Available Right Now

raztad - 57 days 4 hours ago

Given you already beaten Demons Souls you absolutely need to play Valkyrias Chronicles now. It's a Tactic RPG, with a very good story and awesome gameplay.

I too recommend Valkyria Chronicles.

edit: It's a shame the game doesn't have multiplayer as the strategic nature of the game would be perfect for playing against other people.

That's a shaky statement to make. I didn't say untrue; it's just not a slam dunk...

360 has Mass Effect, Lost Odyssey, and Infinite Undiscovery as front-runners. Those are some great games. I also played Blue Dragon but it got way kiddie.

For PS3 I've personally played VC (it's amazing!!) and I STILL haven't been able to put Demon's Souls down to play through Uncharted 2 yet. No Joke...

The first Uncharted and MGS4 were my two favorite games this generation so far. I preordered Uncharted 2 from Gamespot to get the Revenge perk, so I had the game Day One. And I can't put Demon's Souls down to beat UC2. Was gonna do it this weekend, but DS announced their special in-game event for Halloween (all Black WT) and there went UC2's chances.

Now if 360 keeps beta-testing "exclusive" RPG's that eventually get ported over to PS3, then PS3 will be the top RPG console

And that's not even counting the MMORPG's that are still on schedule for PS3, but seem to be faltering on 360.

Fallout 3 is better than Oblivion, IMO.

Saaking - 57 days ago

I do prefer Fallout 3. My main problem with Oblivion is the leveling system, but I can see how most people would like Oblivion better. After playing both, Fallout 3 is kinda like Oblivion with guns.

bjornbear - 56 days 14 hours ago

I'd say they both stand hand in hand. One is old school fantasy and the other is quasi-sci-fi. I don't compare them, one is guns the other is swords and magic.

I love them both and just think that FO3 should have been on that list.

I dunno. ME and VC are really like chalk and cheese. They're so different they're not even worth comparing. VC is definitely the best SRPG out there, ME is definitely the best plot & choice driven RPG out there.

"wat is ME im not familiar with that abbrev? "

Mass effect.

you know, as of this generation i believe Japan has been doing rather poorly of coming up with something entirely unique. apparently, it's becoming visible that a lot of European RPG developers are coming up with intriguing projects with their own unique art styles to them, Bethesda with fallout, lionhead studios with Fable, bioware with mass effect and knights of the old republic, and gearbox with Borderlands.

as of yet, SE, Tri ace, and namco bandai have been running a muck with some mediocre games, it would help if they took notice on some of the new ideas that are tossed around with some of Europe's Rpg developers.

Except for Eternal Sonata.

Eternal Sonata has a unique story idea at least with the chopin stuff. The game itself is pretty standard I think.

They have already announced DLC for Borderlands... and the base game is incredible anyway!

kaveti6616 - 57 days ago

I disagree about Borderlands being a better game than Fallout 3. Borderlands is pure loot RPG, and not as much story, and definitely not as much depth. Fallout 3 has plenty of loot, maybe not as many guns but it's balanced overall in the loot area, and it has a pretty good story, up until the end.

Oblivion is way better than Fallout 3. The only thing Fallout does better is the graphics.

VC is good, but it isn't even the best RPG of 2008. That title belongs to Persona 4. ;)

I just finished persona 3 FES not too long ago. Great game! I heard persona 4 is even better. Going to get a copy for sure.

Bodyboarder_VGamer - 56 days 14 hours ago

Play a game for at least 1 to 2 hours daily and you'll gonna beat it in like 1 week maybe 2 max.

That's not too much time, even if you have a job and go to college... But if you have a girlfriend? Forget it. You don't even have time for yourself.

I think you have your head screwed on backwards Saaking. The best RPG's this generation have been Mutliplatform IMO. Not to be a fanboy, like you Saaking, I do actually believe the 360 has had a better round of RPG's, but only barely.
