The top spot was kind of expected considering the other games... specially since Zelda is not an RPG.

 

Kingdom Hearts 2? FFXII? HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa! (My opinion)

Fallout should be there, but not 3. 1 or 2 or both.

No FFVI? Gamepro is dead to me. :D

2 Zelda games? lol?

And Deus ex? I was under the impression that it was mostly an FPS

Kingdom Hearts 2 over 1 (i know thats an opinion thing, but it def makes me go WTF)



Platinums: Red Dead Redemption, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Terminator Salvation, Uncharted 1, inFamous Second Son, Rocket League

I haven't played nearly all of the games listed but I think I'll still say whatever I can.

Deus Ex deserves to be a lot higher. Oblivion should be a bit lower. The ads need to be removed - I don't want them every time I click for the next page. Final Fantasy XII shouldn't be anywhere near the list, not to mention being on the list. Diablo II shouldn't be that high. Even without playing I guess Fallout 2 should replace Fallout 3, or at least Fallout 3 should be a lot lower. World of Warcraft doesn't deserve to be on the second place. Final Fantasy VII could be replaced by several games of the same series so why are they not on the list very close to VII (VI is better I've heard, IX is better, too, X > XII at least and I'd say possibly close to VII)? FFVII in general shouldn't be the first game. Baldur's Gate 2 should be a bit higher, now that I remember.

A terrible list. They're probably making so many lists to get more visitors.



This sort of list is so pointless.
It's just a person's opinion anyway, and you automatically get reactions such as "X game is not in the list, fail".

So here's my top 5, it's as valid as theirs:

1-Final Fantasy VI
2-Xenogears
3-Earthbound
4-Chrono Trigger
5-Vagrant Story

Actually, your list is more valid, since you didn't put Zelda-games on a RPG-list.

FFXII should has been higher and the list misses some great games, but overall the list is good. It is also good to see Planescape:Torment there.

I like those 3, I think they should have added FFX. Well, there will always be disscussions with these list, but I dont think pokemon is a good RPG, I really think its one of the worst, I enjoyed yellow when I was 9, but after watching my cousin play pokemon on the wii, and watch no improvements in the game besides graphics when they couldve improved much more in gameplay with the hardware, makes me think its a really bad series.

Pokemon Battle Revolution is more like Pokemon Stadium than a Pokemon RPG

How dare you! Anyone who says the change between Diamond/Pearl and Red/Blue is solely in graphics has NO knowledge of the metagame and competitive play.

 



Pixel Art can be fun.
