Forums - Gaming Discussion - RPGs: Coming to a 360 near you

mrstickball on 10 March 2007

It doesn't seem like alot of talk is being generated about RPGs on the 360. One interesting thing is the fact that the Xbox to 360 has done a near complete turnaround on the systems in terms of RPGs on each system. On Xbox, we had: KOTOR 1 & 2 Jade Empire Kingdom Under Fire (kind of an RPG) Sukedi LOTR: Third Age Fable (not an RPG, but considered one by some) XMen Legends 1 & 2 Phantasy Star Online And I believe that was it. Sacred 2 was just announced on 360 a day or two ago. Sacred is an action-RPG in the vein of Diablo. http://pc.gamezone.com/gamesell/p23328.htm has info on the old-school top-down Sacred game. This puts the 360 up to: Enchant Arm Oblivion Marvel Ultimate Alliance Two Worlds Mass Effect Fable 2 (again, not really an RPG, but I'll count it) Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom Magna Carta 2 Fallout 3 Sacred 2 Elevon Two Worlds Blue Dragon Lost Odyssey Infinite Undiscovery Eternal Sonata Dario: Reverse Moon Legend Culdicept Saga FFXI Cry On Far East of Eden Spectral Force 3 Phantasy Star Universe KOTOR 3 (rumored) A.S.H (a DS Mistwaker game but might come to 360?) Odd how just a few years makes a difference for a company, hunh? Sadly enough, the 360 still hasn't garnered alot of J-RPG support, but it seems to of locked up the PC-RPG crowd entirely, and solidified any other WRPG out there.

Eternal Sonata Two Worlds Oblivion Fable 2 Are the ones I like. I don't consider some you have on the list RPGs. Marvel Ultimate Alliance I don't consider to be. It certainly doesn't play much like one, it plays like any arcade style superhero game, which is what it is. How is fable 2 not really an RPG? It's practically the definition of one, it's almost exactly similar to Elder Scrolls, and Elder Scrolls is the definition of a traditional RPG. Mass Effect would be the other one. Mass Effect is a GTA type game, which is not a traditional RPG. Still, it's certainly better than nothing. Especially since 360 seems to focus so much on FPS style games that cater to Americans.

Bye bye. Can't say we didn't warn you wash. This has absolutely nothing to do with the PS3, and yet you managed to come in here and troll anyway.

What about it is GTA like? If anything it's a more complex version of KOTOR.

Everyone knows he had it coming. On his CELL thread, he didn't apologize for swearing and bashing other users, even though I asked. He just kept going and going with his Cell rantings. I actually am somewhat interested in what the Cell can do...but nobody needs to spam so much and shut down what other people say.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

For some reason Mass Effect makes me think Oblivion + Gears Of War tossed in a blender, I dunno why.



Nobody is crazy enough to accuse me of being sane.

Isn't mass effect about the cops and criminals? Is this not the game I see on TV with the kids in Jail and the Voto saying, "what you think it's a game ese" And then a see a bunch of stuff blowing up in the background? I could have the wrong game, maybe I was thinking of the wrong one.
