IGN count down the ten best role-playing games of all time.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
One of the most beloved entries in Square Enix’s long-running franchise is celebrating its 30th anniversary and that’s cause for celebration!
This arguably is my best game of all time out of the 40yrs I’ve been playing videogames
FFVIII - 25th Anniversary
Square “….”
FFVI - 30th Anniversary
Square “….”
FFVII - 25th Anniversary
Square “HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. We got some news on the upcoming remakes, we got a shit ton of new VII merchandise, we have some other special community things planned and on, check out this cool 25th Anniversary logo specially created for VII’s big day”
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
I was waiting to see FF VII in top 10 list but it is in #52. Anyway, for me Chrono Trigger is the best RPG I've ever played, so I agree with IGN choices.
Ahh, wow! :o
Looking at the ign comment section, people don't realize how dificult it must be to narrow it down to a person's top 10 all time fav rpgs,and then to be mad that you don't share they don't share the same opinion as you?Ahhh.
I haven't played too many rpgs,but my list would go something like this:
Demon Souls
Dark souls 1
Jade empire
Oblivion
Fallout new vegas
final fantasy 9
ff10
pokemon gold/silver/crystal(same games really)
mass effect 1
mass effect 2
Crap list, unless you were going for the top 10 JPRPG mainly.
No Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion or Skyrim?
Happy that Vagrant Story is there. Definetely one of the most underrated games ever made.
