Well I guess Darkest Dungeon sort of represents the genre. MLB The Show, or Super Techmo III Final Edition, or that Hockey Game on C64 or Amiga my friends used to tell me about).

The others being sports games where you either developer players or a single player as a key part of the game (e.g. Which is fine, but that’s like one of the two RPG related genres they didn’t include (or I missed one). Seriously I was the only prson who liked Evermore over Secret of Mana? Wish I could remember why. I never got to play Dark Age of Camelot but I am confident in saying that any list that includes mahmorpigahs but doesn’t include DAOC is wrong. It was a bad diku that disguised it’s badness with extra star wars crap. Diablo III is tin the op 5 most overrated games on this list. I’m assuming they’re going with the Genesis.Īll 3 Diablo’s, really? I’m glad Path of Exile made it but I woud include Titan Quest or maybe Grim Dawn over Diablo the first.

Which Shadowrun? There are, technically speaking, 4 now depending on how you count the successful PC Relaunch. I would certainly include it over Final Fantasy. You know, Disciplies II appears to be eligible for this list I just realized. Also, I would include Ogre Battle over every SRPG except Disgaea. XCOM as any kind of RPG is the weirdest choice on the list IMO. Bolo Santosi, on her best day, whishes she could deliver “she is evil, a driven bitch” that good. And it also has the best single Voice Acted line ever.

But Jagged Alliance 2 is better than every SRPG they list except maybe FF Tactics (or if you prefer Tactics Ogre), and certainly meets the criteria. If you want to go broad to include hybrid genres (e.g. Although I might change my mind and say Tomorrowing is. Mass Effect 2 is the most overrated game on this list. But they all have less going for them than the original Zelda both in terms of “story” and certainly in terms of mechanics. They’re all super bland mechanically and there’s not much in the way of story. I am kind of surprised none of the Japanese Wizardry games showed up.Īctually, on that same note, the inclusion of any pre 16-bit jRPG is also weird.

I guess they needed room to list all the Final Fantasies. it was ground breaking sure but it’s still nowhere near the best game in it’s series. But, yeah, Wiz 1? That’s just a really weird choice. Bradley takes over, and IMO 7 is his best effort and the best in the series. But Wizardry makes a light-jump once D.W.

Much like Wiz 1-3, the series basically stagnated mechanically (Wiz 3’s attempt to get you to play multiple parties of different alignments aside). Outside of a few new classes with even more spells that go “splode” there’s nothing really new mechanically.

There are more than a few design quirks in II and III, and a lot of people felt they got weirdly grindy. I mean you can make a legit case that Bard’s Tale is 1 is the best game in that series. It’s really, really weird to include Wiz I over Wiz 5-7. I was going to say, the list was entirely nonsensical if Dragon Quest III was rated as the second best RPG of all time. I do appreciate that it remembers RPGs of days past, like the Ultimas, Wizardrys, etc.Įdit: hey weird, somehow in my copy/pasting the numbering got reversed - so what lists as 100 here, Skyrim, is actually number 1. It leans too much toward JRPGs for my taste, but what the heck, kids seem to love them. I do appreciate that it remembers RPGs of days past, like the Ultimas, Wizardrys, etc.Īnyway, what do you think? Shall we mix it up?Įdit: list is re-fixed, thanks again think that’s a pretty ok list, if a tad generic.
