Top 10 Best RPGs of All Time

BacklogCritic: "There are many games with RPG elements such as experience points, levels, quests, dialogue trees or wheels, but offering the same solutions and the same outcomes no matter how personalised the characters may seem, which makes them cosmetic RPGs. Here is our top 10 RPGs of all time"

No Skyrim? No Fallout 3/4? No Mass Effect? No Dragon Age? No Dark Souls? No Final Fantasy? Meh

Too many old games nobody plays! This list sucks...

gamejediben2273d ago

Fallout 3 & 4 are pale shadows compared to Fallout New Vegas. Skyrim is good but Morrowind is still the gold standard of elder scrolls games. The others probably should have been on the list in some form.

Old games rock. No Day 1 patches or DLC. No Micro-transactions or Loot Boxes. Games worked at launch instead of being incomplete. you seriously need to go and play some of the masterpieces from the past. Start with Chrono Trigger. You'll thank me later.

What about Shadowrun? SNES, amazing RPG. Genesis had a version that was a completely different story and also amazing.

gamejediben2273d ago

I loved Shadowrun so much. Never played the Genesis version but I did try the new Shadowrun Returns. It rocked!

kevnb2273d ago (Edited 2273d ago )

Are you joking? Baldurs gate 2 is much better than dragon age, mass effect doesn’t hold a candle to something like Deus Ex and Skyrim isn’t even the best in its own series.

TheOptimist2273d ago

Apart from NV on top and Arx Fatalis in the list, I pretty much agree with it. Good games, in depth systems worthy of being called RPGs. Full blown RPGs.

UnderDude2273d ago

What would you put on top instead?

TheOptimist2273d ago

It'd be a tough choice honestly. Deus Ex is an extremely good contender with Witcher 3 following close behind. When you boil it down to the top 3, it'll definitely be Deus Ex Witcher 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2.

Grimwood2273d ago

There are no good rpgs so far. I mean, really good. The genre still has to get a masterpiece (like action adventures e.g.). The closest one so far is Witcher 3, but still so far to go.

SegaGamer2273d ago

What on earth are you talking about? There has been a ton of great RPG's.

SegaGamer2273d ago

Some of these aren't even RPG's. I'm seeing this a lot lately.

Xbox Reportedly Working to Release Next Fallout Game "Sooner Rather Than Later"

According to a new report, Xbox knows the next Fallout game has to release sooner rather than later and is working on it. Following the release of Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios is now working on The Elder Scrolls 6. And this is what it's going to be doing for the next several years. This means the next Fallout game is probably not going to be out until the 2030s unless something changes. To this end, Xbox knows it has to change something and get something out sooner.

Just bring the quality and hopefully some gameplay refinements.

Like build a new engine if you make me have a 45 second load to enter a building and exit a building on 9th gen hardware to your game is just taking the piss it's absolutely down to the engine and not the hardware it should have been possible to eliminate this load on the PS4 Xbox one but they failed to while other games like witcher 3 and GTA v had no problems with this.

Like all Bethesda games they really need to also address the ultra stiff character animation the dialogue scenes are not great and even in starfield they were substandard compared to other games look at how character interactions are done elsewhere it's far more engaging when you are not standing still talking

Cacabunga1d ago

I don’t like the sound of «  Sooner than later » especially coming from Xbox

fr0sty23h ago

Most especially coming from Bethesda, a company known for releasing buggy games, while they are busy working on 2 other projects with MS breathing down their neck to rush this one out while the TV show hype is still hot.

Walalon22h ago

The thing is coming from Xbox and Bethesda... That's the formula for a pretty big disaster.

raWfodog20h ago

I would think building a new engine would add significantly more development time than less, unless they implement AI tools to aid in the develelopment time. But that’s another whole can of worms entirely.

Crows901d 1h ago

This is a problem....let the games be. Maybe try to get something out by the time next season rolls around. You've got time. If the fallout show continues like this then it'll be fine to wait and invest in a good game.

-Foxtrot23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

I think people are missing the point of this

It’s not rushing a releases for next year it’s Microsoft knowing Bethesda won’t get round to Fallout 5 until 2031 at the earliest and want it to become a franchise that can come out within a typical 4-5 year development over every 15 or so years.

Bethesda took it upon themselves to do a new IP with Starfield which is fair enough, it's great to see studios wanting to do new IPs but in the process of doing that they've created a massive gap for sequels to their other games.

They just don't want to give their franchises away to another studio because I feel after New Vegas they are scared someone else will be able to create a better game to them. If Obsidian were giving a full lengthy development time and a bigger budget I think New Vegas could have been bigger and better than it was.

Psychonaut851d ago

Bro let one of the other studios under Bethesda do a spin off.

Shane Kim1d ago

Got to capitalize on the tv show.

Demetrius1d ago

I really do enjoy the fallout world, I always been into the series but couldn't get into new vegas cause the gameplay is a slog, the atmosphere was and still top notch tho, decide to finally play fallout 4 and it's been so mf fun it looks good in 60fps

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave4d ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto4d ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno4d ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai4d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

just_looken7d ago

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror7d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC7d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken7d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.
