Conegamer said: Skyrim above Xenoblade Smeags? I am disappoint

The final act really fell apart for me, where the game was too busy trying to tell a story arc (and an uninteresting one at that imo) rather than let me play the game. I honestly felt the game designers pushed the player aside during that time (aka the Metal Gear Solid effect. ). Skyrim, on the other hand, had an extremely bare bones main story (in fact, some of the side missions were more interesting than the main story ), but it was always a game that I was playing. They're both great games (I gave both an 8/10), but that point pushed Skyrim over XenoBlade chronicles for me.

Top 5 from the back of my mind:

Mass Effect 2
The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim
Mass Effect 3
Lost Oddesey
Mass Effect

1. Demon's Souls (PS3)
2. Dark Souls (PS3)
3. FF Type-0 (PSP)
4. Final Fantasy XIII series (PS3)
5. Star Ocean 4 (360)
6. Kingdom Hearts BBS (PSP)
7. White Knight Chronicles series (PS3)
8. Lost Odyssey (360)
9. Last Story (Wii)
10. Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii)

nice to see some Arc rise fantasia love
very underrated game

Didn't want to repeat a franchise, so it wouldn't be just Pokemon gloom and doom

1.- The world ends with you
2.- Pokemon Black/White
3.- Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
4.- XenoBlade
5.- Valkyria Chronicles
6.- Kingdom Hears Birth by sleep
7.- Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside story
8.- Golden Sun DS
9.- Dragon Quest IX
10.- Final Fantasy XIII

There's still a lot of RPGs I need to play, but here's my list so far, not in any particular order:

Pokemon Diamond
Pokemon Black
Dragon Quest IX
Skyrim
Radiant Historia (from what I've played so far)
Final Fantasy XIII
Dark Souls
Fallout 3 (Currently playing on PC, but it's awesome)

I still have many RPG's waiting on my shelf for me to play, such as Fallout New Vegas, Dragon Age Origins, Risen, the Witcher 1 and 2, Borderlands, and Fable The Lost Chapters (I'm not sure if Fable counts as this gen). I'd like to say that I'll buy Xenoblade after I finish those, but I will probably end up buying it sooner than that.

I have not finished Radiant Historia yet, but I loved what I played. My friend borrowed it last year, and (long story short) after returning from the boarding school that his evil stepmother sent him to, he's living with his mom and stepdad. He pretty much hates his other parents. But wouldn't you know, my Radiant History cartridge is at their house.

Off the top of my head.

1. Fallout New Vegas

2. Dragon Age Origins

3. Xenoblade Chronicles

4. Fallout 3

5. Demons souls

6. Dark Souls

7. Skyrim

8. Oblivion

Can't think of any more. It saddens me to put elder scrolls games at the bottom since bethesda has the skills and potential to make a great rpg (fallout 3/Morrowind)

I don't know if I've even played ten this generation. Rpg's are kind of sparse this gen.

1. Valkyria Chronicles
2. Tales of Graces F
3. Crisis Core
4. Arc Rise Fantasia
5. Fallout 3
6. Jeanne d'Arc
7. Crimson Gem Saga
8. Atelier Totori
9. Yggdra's Union
10. Lost Odyssey

If I ever get around to playing Xenoblade Chronicles it might move somewhere on that list. Deus Ex might as well. This thread really makes me realize how distinct my tastes are even among fellow rpg enthusiasts.

10. The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings
9. Radiant Historia
8. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
7. Dark Souls
6. Mass Effect
5. Lost Odyssey
4. Dragon Age: Origins
3. The World Ends With You
2. Fallout 3
1. Xenoblade Chronicles (godly)

what I can think of
1. mass effect 3
2. mass effect 2
3. crisis core final fantasy 7
4. final fantasy 13
5. skyrim
6. lost odyssey
7. mass effect 1
8. dragon age 2
9. final fantasy 13-2
10. dragons dogma
