That top 5 is a really, really good top 5.

I wasnt that far off with my Top 10.



                            

Just noticed that Mass Effect placed above the sequels.

This makes me happy. I didnt expect IGN of all sites to do that.

Baldur's Gate 2 being top 3 says a lot. Still beating away the modern WRPGs, with relative ease. Seriously guys, if youre into RPGs then you owe it to yourself to play BG2.

I think I've played like 30% of the top 100 RPG's of all time (at a glance. Maybe more. Maybe less. I didn't count). Not too shabby, eh?

Surprised some of the games I played ranked so highly. I guess everyone is entitled to their opinions.



FFX ftw!!!!!!!





Lost Odyssey not making it onto the list is BS it should be on the list for the epic score alone.



I haven't read any of the comments here but my commentary:
#100's-#94 I was like WOW these are all great. Then D3 and Fable 2 came and I was like WTF.
#90 great game. THEN NEW VEGAS WTF. FF9 #88 made me cry. Then a solid list until KINGDOM HEARTS #84 *TEAR*. Then good again for awhile. Witcher 2 as #78 was interesting. Tales of Symphonia deserves higher than #77. The neat choices until #70 Demon's Souls (HMM). KINGDO HEARTS 2 #68 WTF.
The kicker: FINAL FANTASY X #64 = 64!?!?!?!??!?! NO EFFING WAY.
Skies of Arcadia is a TREASURE and shocked to see #63
Then some gems, World Ends and Chrono Cross which should have been higher than the next ones listed until a gem, Tactics Ogre. BUT THEN MONSTER HUNTER TRI GOOD LORD. Next few choices are neat (love Wild Arms & Golden Sun).
Then #47 Xenogears -_- I know that disc 2 was rushed but COME ON
Then some gems again until Xenoblade at #41 which I'm not sure if it deserved to be so high. Then some interesting choices until POKEMON WHITE BLACK = REALLY BOOOO WAY TOO HIGH. Then REALLY good selections until Oblivion (meh).
Never heard of System Shock but sounds cool. DARK SOULS... DARK SOULS WTF IGN NO F'ING WAY. Like Earthbound. Some gems after that Don't know Planescape. KOTOR Beaut. FF7 at #11 = YOU HAVE BALLS IGN! Fallout #3 does not deserve to be as high as #10. Skrim #7 -_- nahhh. Diablo 2 #6 is very deserving. FF4 unexpected but great. I expetced Pokemon Red/Blue to be high and it deserves to be. Haven't played BG2.
SOOO HAPPY TO SEE CHRONO TRIGGER #2! Do you know what, I like the FF6 choice! Kudos

Overall: Great compilation of games. Some bizare positioning but kudos IGN I expected worse!

Edit: Where is Lost Odyssey, MAYBE Blue Dragon?

I'm more surprised about Persona 4...There are seriously 89 better RPGs out there? I am willing to bet Dragon Age II will be on the list. Ugh
