Xenoblade as of right now. Witcher 3 is a close second though.

Depending on how DA:I turns out it might be able to beat Xenoblade for me. But I won't hold my breath.

Do you think Xenoblade will be available on the Wii U digital store?

Lol, I don't know^^

...and I don't care

mmmm Kingdom Hearts III should be out of that list and instead be added in the 2016-2017 list if you ever make one...

Hmmmm...looks like Obsidian is going back to the drawing board to save money because they lost so much after parting with Bioware. Makes sense. Meh...i'll just wait til I get a fully powered PC and re-enter PC gaming to get into these types of RPG's. Too many AAA's coming out along with school.

Thanks anyway, man.


Well after Bethesda screwed them over with New Vegas royalties (they got an 84 meta, their contract said they didn't get any royalties from sales unless they got 85+ so even tho New Vagas was very profitable they didn't get a cent post release) and an undisclosed major publisher (signs point to MS) cancled a major next gen exclusive without warning. That combined with the rise of Kickstarter caused them to consider crowd funding a project that they had wanted to work on for 10 years that no publisher would fund. Obisdian never worked for Bioware, they did make a couple sequels to Bioware games but that was Atari (Neverwinter Nights) and Lucasarts (KOTOR II) and they got screwed on those as well by the publishers.

They are actually are doing well at the moment they have a bunch of projects coming up and South Park did very well for them. Plus they get to make a classic cRPG like they used to back in the day.


KOTOR was all I ever liked from them and I've never played Fallout anyway. Bethesdas games tend to be quite glitchy. Only PC devs I like right now have all gone to console so i'm pretty cool with it. I'll probably play Fallout on PC with a mod. Bethesdas games are best played on PC anyway because they glitch less than the glitchfest on consoles.

If you haven't already, play Fallout 1/2 first, if you're into isometric cRPGs. Obsidian is direct successor of Black Isle studios who made Fallout in the first place...those are much better games than Bethesda's vision of that world, though I enjoyed those too.

We have to be patient a bit more and see how that games I mentioned before turn out, but, considering they are made by Obsidian and inXile, and those are all the same people (minus Bioware) that brought us that Interplay's golden age of isometric RPGs in late 90's and some of the best cRPGs of all times, I think it's pretty safe to assume they'll turn out great.

Damn have to vote for dragon age this time but xenoblade is close.

All of them except bloodbourne and final fantasy look good. Not saying they'll be bad but not enough footage to prove themselves.


Wow I expected Witcher 3 to be in the lead but the Nintendo fans have definitely spoken. They want their Xenoblade Chronicles X.


I think Xenoblade is likely just the superior game.  I haven't played a Wicher game, only watched, but the gameplay looked on the weak side by my tastes.  This contrasts with the original Xenoblade, which was the best JRPG I've played since FFX - the only flaw being its SD visuals.  The new one looks nothing short of astounding.  Witcher 3 interests me simply because it looks like the prettiest game we've seen yet, anywhere, but the e3 trailer looked shallow.  Xenoblade is a true classic JRPG mixed with modern elements.

I respect peoples opinions but Xenoblade Chronicles X will probably be the worst selling RPG of all of the games. Just saying.

Perhaps, but that doesn't mean it isn't the best game of the set.
