Do you think it can set new standards, or will FF13 do that instead?

Read my bet in the sig. and you will know my opinnion on it.

However I have to add that both games are shaping up extremely nicely and are first day buys for me.

Your sig bet isn't entirely reasonable. To be the best-rated RPG of the generation it would need to top 94, in order to beat the 360 version of Oblivion. It would need over 93 to top the PS3 version of Oblivion, or the 360 version of Fallout 3. So unless it gets a 95 or better, which no Final Fantasy has ever done....

You're right. The sig. makes it seem like I mean best RPG of the 7th generation according to metacritic.

nah, i don't think so...
if its a WRPG then only Bethesda can do it.

There is so much wrong with what you are saying. BioWare is the king of WRPGs, with Bethesda being the only people to threaten that position

Honestly, I believe it's true, but there isn't really anything to say until it's released. Although I doubt FF13 will touch it. Sure, FF13 is going to be a great JRPG, but a big BioWare game beats the living crap out of all other RPGs

Both of you are mistaken - Black Isle Studios/Obsidian Entertainment is the king of WRPGs, with BioWare the secondary holder of the crown. Bethesda could only be in consideration after they.

I don't know if this will set new standards. Depends on how it compares to the first one.

*Raises an eyebrow* I liked KOTOR II much more than it was given credit for, but I dunno if I'd go that far.

How much did you like the first two Fallouts? Or Planescape: Torment? Or the restored version of Sith Lords, I suppose.

There's a reason that Alpha Protocol is my most-anticipated RPG right now.

Thank you. After hearing so much about Alpha Protocol and just reading your post I finally went over to Gametrailers to see what the fuss was all about. Before now I had just heard a few things and seen some unimpressive screenshots. But WOW. It looks amazing. Now I honestly don't know what game to be more hyped for? AP or ME2! And now I've got yet ANOTHER awesome game I'll have to try and get this month, but that makes 9 so idk if I can get it or not. Uncharted 2 is already paid for in full, but now it's going against the likes of Ratchet, demons' souls, tekken 6, borderlands, gta4 episodes etc. Too many awesome games this month!

Man this game is going to be AWESOME!!!



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

ME 1 let you shape the way the story went no matter how big or small the choices were they would effect the story of ME2. I have 8 different saves on two accounts so I can play through each one. There isn't a RPG out right now that can do what ME 1 did plus it delivered where most RPGs can't and thats the story. The voice acting was fantastic and the story was complex and exciting it really brought you into this fascinating story of one man and his crews struggle to save pretty much all organic life in space.

ME2 WILL surpass the bar set by ME1 and set a new one for RPGs this gen and FFXIII won't even come close to it.
