Top 10 RPG Poll

[Jedi]

Ahhhh how did I forget the Diablo series, I am a huge fan of 1 and 2 lol.

[NinjaMonkey]

I'm assuming as long as the game has "RPG" somewhere in its genre it's fair game? I'm seeing a lot of Fire Emblem in people's lists (kinda duh given the nature of this board) but it's a SRPG.

SRPG stands for Strategy RPG...

[ClevelandSteve]

The order on this list changes pretty much every time I write it, and several of them sometimes slip off and get replaced by other games. Also, what is and isn't an RPG is pretty vague (as demonstrated by the fact that some people are debating it here), but I'll try my best:

1. Xenoblade Chronicles

2. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

3. Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars

4. Baten Kaitos Origins

5. Final Fantasy VI

6. Golden Sun: The Lost Age

7. Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

8. Mother 3

9. Kingdom Hearts

10. OgreBattle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber

I personally left off Fire Emblem games (Blazing Sword would probably make the list otherwise, and maybe Path of Radiance) because I personally consider SRPGs different enough from normal RPGs to count as their own genre.

[Shinehollow]

1.Pokemon Platinum

2.Fire Emblem 7

3.Fire Emblem:The Sacred Stones

4.Mario and Luigi:Bowser's Inside Story

5.Golden Sun:The Lost Age

6.Mario and Luigi:Superstar Saga

7.Pokemon Black 2

8.Pokemon Yellow

9.Super Mario RPG

I think this next one counts as an RPG.

10.Pokemon Mystery Dungeon:Gates to Infinity

I play too much Pokemon wow.

SRPG stands for Strategy RPG...

Yes I'm well aware what SRPG stands for. The point of the question was whether he was looking for more traditional RPGs or any sort of RPG sub genre (such as SRPGs, or MMORPGs).

[Captain Wesker]

Ooh listing things. I think I have ten.

1.Pokemon Pearl

2.Golden Sun: The Lost Age

3.Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga

4.Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

5.Pokemon Silver

6.Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (Dungeon-crawling RPG)

7.Kingdom Hearts

8.Golden Sun

9.Pokemon HG/SS

10.Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky.

- Earthbound

- Mother 3 (if I can name games from the same series twice, that is)

- Chrono Trigger

- Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky (First Chapter)

- Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War

- Yggdra Union

- TES V: Skyrim

- Bravely Default

- Summon Night 2: Swordcraft Story

- Rune Factory 3

It is in order, but there isn't such a great gap in preference from a game from another. Just a minor one.

If you want to participate (I'd love to get over 300 people's list) please send me a pm (or just post in this thread) with your list in order so I can give them points.

I'm asking for pm so everyone's list is individual and so another person's list doesn't affect/alter/adjust you own games. (you can always just spoiler tag your lists if that's easier.)

If you can't even bother to put your list in order then don't fucking bother, or are some of our fellow SFers illiterate?

Anyways I'll pm Scar my list.

Chill out. You're not TC.

EDIT: And my own list was edited, because I forgot something.

You guys have helped me get this to over 300 lists collected.

Thanks a ton!

[Zera]

We're glad we could help, Scar. I'm looking forward to seeing this "grand project" of yours. Hopefully it involves sending me a truck full of money.

[Irony]

300 lists? :o Wow! :) That is impressive! :D I cannot wait to see how this project of yours will turn out! :D

[Rxmonste]

10. Pokemon Y (It's the only one I played.....don't look at me like that.)

9. The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim (My favorite of Bethesda's grand RPG series)

8. Fallout 3 (I played this game for a whole year without it losing novelty)

7. Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story (Phenomenal turn based combat!)

6. Dragon Age: Origins (I'm still not far enough into Inquisition to compare, but this is by far Bioware's best attempt to making a 3D Balder's Gate.)

5. Dark Souls (Best Metroidvania style game that is not Metroid Prime or Super Metroid)

4. Kingdom Hearts 2 (Call it hack and slash all you will, this game is pure fun, despite the convoluted plot)

3. Fire Emblem: Awakening (Support, lovable characters, all that shit. Addictive turn based gameplay, and 500 hours clocked in)

2. Xenoblade Chronicles (The absolute pinnacle of Japanese RPGs for me. A game I hold so dear for it's great gameplay, deep storyline, and Dunban!)

1. Mass Effect 2 (My favorite game of all time. Five years and it still holds that spot. 8 playthroughs and I still encounter new things.)

6. Fallout 3 (Amazing story and lore. Wildly creative and a testament to Bethesda's ability to immerse players into open worlds.)

Here's the top 92 games from my collective findings.

See where your games rank.

If they made the top 92 that is....

There was over 440 RPGs submitted, but I only made this quiz to represent the ones that got at least 50 votes.

Let me know if you see anything egregiously wrong with the quiz.

Hope you enjoy it!

[Lord Raven]

Surprising to me to see that Shadow Hearts 2 got 178 votes and Radiant Historia got like 60ish.
