Suikoden is probably the most overrated RPG I've ever come across. It's really not bad, but everything is just so average and bland. Yeah you can tell I was aggravated from that purchase.

Fallout: New Vegas.

I'll summarize it for you: Kill the guy launching an attack on the president. +20,000 fetch quests to get to that point.

Which Suikoden did you play? its like the Shin Megami Tensei games, alot happends from game 1 to 2,3 ect.
The first installment usually isnt the best of the bunch.

Every Pokémon game except Pokémon Black & White and Black & White 2.

Impossibru.

Kick the high-ranked general off a cliff with a robot is the story. You obviously got it wrong.

I should've chosen that option tbh.

MS Saga. Great game, bad story.

Storyline is entertaining enough to read through, but in terms of the story itself, it's as bad as they come. The main character lived in an orphanage before it was attacked and destroyed by mobile suits in which only him and his best friend survive. He happens to find an empty mobile suit and plans to get his revenge, only to find a mysterious girl who doesn't know where she came from and saves the world from an invading army.

During the game you'll get more than six characters, ,but you can only have your party with six characters, three front row and three back row characters. Each character has different techs, boost attacks, and stats, and each mobile suit has its own stats. A mobile suit like Guncannon has high ranged stats while a mobile suit like Gouf will have a high melee stat. So you don't want to having a character with terrible ranged stats but good melee stats in a Guncannon while having a character with terrible melee stats but good ranged stats in the Gouf, you'd ruin their potential.

Each mobile suit in the game has a backpack like inventory of Diablo 2, Resident Evil 4, etc, allowing them to hold a certain amount of equipment but each mobile suit is also unique in the amount of spaces. You might have a beam saber that take one slot in width and five slots in length, 1x5, while you might have another that's 4x2 with an additional slot under the third one taken as well. Sometimes the suit won't have the amount of width or length to carry the weapon/shield, other times it does but you just don't have enough room for some of the more powerful yet akward slotted weapons. Each mobile suit can hold a weapon in each hand(unless you have Zgok claws or similar,) an arm attachment on each arm, one shoulder weapon, and depending on the mobile suits arms, chest, and head, it may also additional attached weapons.

Each character has both techs, which is this games form of magic, having healing skills, buffs, debuffs, attack spells, etc, tech costing TP. Boost attacks are support and physical attacks costing energy. Each character gains two energy per turn in the front row, one energy in the back row with a max of 10 energy. It costs one energy from the front row character to switch to a back row character.

It's your standard RPG but it's a really strategic battle system up until the very end game where you're mostly charging and doing only boost attacks since your regular attacks are basically chip damage in comparison by that point. Up until then though you're swapping characters to avoid beam damage or shell damage, using counter snipe to avoid melee damage, on top of using your boost attacks, regular attacks, items, and techs to deal damage to your opponents.

One of many good RPGs that has a bad story. 

There's also Final Fantasy 10-2.  Way better than the original game which also has a crappy story, but unlike that one, this one has excellent gameplay.

Tales of Symphonia

I would call average at best, not necessaily bad.

I may get flack for this but while it is easily one of the best RPG/SRPGs of the generation, its characters are great and tons of great features... Fire Emblem: Awakening is kind of meh as a story especially compared to some of the other games in the series which aren't exactly great themselves. The characters and the supports REALLY carry it, especially toward the end.

You actually saved that schmuck?
