Greatest RPG ever created on any platform?

I was going to try to make a poll with the ten best Rpg series of all time then quickly realized that I would need way more than 10 poll spots lol.

So I wanna know what you think the greatest Rpg ever made was, on any platform.

I have a hardtime picking one game but for the validity of the thread and to keep people from listing a top 20 list which I'm sure everyone could do.

I will list only one.

Baldur's Gate II



This game got me into Rpgs even more than Ultima games and I played this game more than anyother Rpg combined this includes thousands of hours across Elder scroll games and my early obsession with Square soft Rpgs.

PLaying: EvE, Ryzom

Waiting For: Earthrise, Perpetuum

    The FIRST Fallout. Hands down. Second would be Koei's Uncharted Waters 2.

    Balders Gate for offline with fallout 3 as the modern day come back king.

    Other than that, anything by Bioware has to be strong consideration.

    I'd say Chrono Trigger or Chrono Cross. Each have their pro's and con's.

    Using LOL is like saying "my argument sucks but I still want to disagree".

    for best series, I'd def say Diablo series for online gameplay thats like nothing else, and the story is pretty good for those that actually read it.

    for a single game I would say KOTOR 1, but maybe i'm a little biased since im a sw nut :P

  • feena750feena750 Member UncommonPosts: 330

    I would have to say Xenogears.

  • CorthalaCorthala Member UncommonPosts: 283

    For me Baldur's Gate saga and Final Fantasy VII

    "you are like the world revenge on sarcasm, you know that?"

    One of those great lines from The Secret World

    I'd say the first RPG I got into and one that got me hooked on the genre

    Nintendo 8-bit RPG called..... Crysalis

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystalis

    "Crystalis" was great, was well as "Faxanadu", but I have a special place in my heart for Culture Brain's "Little Ninja Bros.". It was a 2-player coop hybrid action RPG with both random/boss battles in sidecroller-type action and some tradtional turn-based fights just for flavor at certain points. Lots of minigames like running off a fattening meal by tapping A and B in unison too, I had a blast in that game both solo and with buddies.

     final fantasy 1

  • ZenekiaZenekia Member Posts: 14

    Ultima 4, though Wasteland was great, as was Fallout.

  • mumeishimumeishi Member Posts: 14

    Xenogears for the most part. Even had a 3d gear fighting game in it!

    Crystalis was also amazing. :D

  • spookydomspookydom Member UncommonPosts: 1,782

    These are the games I have been totaly obsesed with. A Bards Tale (original not the crapy remake), Final Fantasy IIV and X, Morrowind and Oblivion and Kotor 1 and 2.

  • Asmiroth20Asmiroth20 Member Posts: 346

      Earthbound for SNES.  All the others fall into the Squaresoft category.

  • ThillianThillian Member UncommonPosts: 3,156

    Baldur's Gate 1 (not BG2 - that was one of the worst story continuation in a gaming's history)

    REALITY CHECK

  • klinikaklinika Member Posts: 17

    Surprising to see so many answer Ultima IV here, I thought we are few. Man, I typed all the conversations in it with a typewriter one summer (pre-internet, I'm not crazy!). But still, though KotOR comes close and indeed does surpass in modern day replayability, it's Baldur's Gate II ftw.

  • PapadamPapadam Member Posts: 2,102

    Planescape:Torment

    Don think we ever will see a RPG like that again :(

    If WoW = The Beatles
    and WAR = Led Zeppelin
    Then LotrO = Pink Floyd

    ShadowHearts: Covenant for the PS2
