I wonder if they'll include Seiken Densetsu 3 or Terranigma...oh nope..no they wont since its IGN.

 

Seiken Densetsu 3 was probably one of the most epic games I ever emulated (yay fan translations!)


GREAT CHOICE

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

No Dragon Age YAYA. And Good call with the WRPGs (Skyrim, Mass Effect, etc.

Hmm I would have thought Dragon Age: Origins deserved to make it, replacing fable for example...Not such a big deal though

Fair enough. I would gladly replace FABLE 2 -_- with Dragon Age...but Lost Odyssey before DA:O

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?

Edit #2: Should have formatted better haha

Well... called it about FF4 AND FF6 being above FF7.

I told you. It's just how most critics roll.... because even today most critics have been playing before the NES generation.

You could tell it was going to go that way with all the love given to the more obscure, less talked about RPGS including computer based ones.

This was a list made by people who have played a LOT of RPGs.

FF6 as 1 is well deserved.

Would I make the same list the exact same way?  No.   However, I think they did do a really good job of it.  Still don't get Ogre Battle being their and Lordly Person not though.

I guess they put Ogre Battle ahead for it starting that unique trend.  Fair enough.   Likely why Pokemon was up there as well.

For sure I thought Black/White was going to be the only pokemon to show up. (Though i'd disagree with said reasoning.) 

The lower levels end up a bit jumbled but that's just how lists like this are bound to get.

Really a good show all around.

#19 - System Shock
#13 - Planescape Torment

 

>_>


Do...I have to bold those two? I never played them or heard of them from anyone lol :O

Ever heard of Bioshock? ;o

Planescape is a legendary RPG, and many think it's the best game ever. I haven't personally played it but I plan to.

I heard of bioshock durr ;p

I never got into RPGs that much back in the 1990s (only got into them in the 2000s), I blame my Nintendofanboyism for that.

Anyways, I searched up System shock and the first thing mentioned was bio shock lol, as for the other game...matterfact both, I shall try them out ;p


To be more explanitory, System shock is the predecessor to Bioshock.

Much like the FF6/FF7 divide.   Much fewer people played System Shock games when they came out.  However those who have played it pretty much all agree it's better then Bioshock.

It's some people's opinions, that's all. they just happen to be able to put theirs on the web and get paid for it.



CPU: Ryzen 9950X3D
GPU: MSI 4090 SUPRIM X 24G
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB DDR5
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB
Gaming Console: PLAYSTATION 5 PRO

Disgrace.

Fable 2 of all games made the list. When Fable 2 is absolute garbage.

Diablo and Baldur's Gate are overrated.

No Dragon Age, simply pathetic.

Elder Scrolls too low obviously. The best selling RPG of all time (Skyrim) should be number one. Either that or Morrowind or Oblivion should have topped the list.

Both Demon's Souls (#70, give me a break) and Dark Souls are too low.



No Dragon Age: Origins :(

That just sounds like sour grapes based on your previous posts in the thread.

I tried to warn you guys.

Say what you want about IGN, but they're mostly seasoned players who have played a lot of games from all the generations... as can be shown on how widely inclusive the list is.
