For true turn based RPGs not named final fantasy you probably need to go back to the 1990s. KOTOR is also essentially turn based although it sort of plays out in real time.
SSI D&D games, Bard's Tale, Ultima in the C-64 era. Stonekeep, Might & Magic, Baldur's Gate, Farscape, Fallout 1 and 2 in the PC era. Now if you mean non-turn based RPGs, Stonekeep and early first person games like Eye of the Beholder go back well into the 90s
I just picked this up and have been absolutely loving it. Nothing very ground-breaking, just very smooth good-looking graphics and simple to play.
FWIW, I thought KOTOR was fantastic... the best game I can recall from the original X-Box generation.
Ya, I forgot about the computer games in the late 80s and 90s. I knew about FO1 and 2, but I don't think they registered on a mass level like FO3. I remember Might & Magic and Ultima being pretty influential. Japanese RPGs seemed to be the only RPGs available on the consoles during this time (I'm not counting Might & Magic on the Genesis which didn't have much success).
About 70 or so hours into this and enjoying it. Story lines aren't great, but the action is good. You can easily overpower the game though by crafting your own gear. But there seems to be enough here that it should appeal whatever it is you like out of a RPG (minus the story that is).WampusCat43 said:
I played that and while I thought it was pretty good, I couldn't help but think it's a MMORPG, only without the MP. A better game IMHO , is Dragon's DogmaWampusCat43 said:
ark Arisen. If I wasn't playing the Souls series right now I'd be playing this. Story is meh, being neither being exceptionally good or bad. Where this game shines is the battles and enemies. Some whom fill the screen and can be climbed similar to Shadow of the Colossus. It's probably just my own personal tastes but the enemies and their art direction are second to none.
I haven't done any crafting because the loot drops are so good I never felt the need, put my skill points into other disciplines so far (Detect hidden, Dispel, Sagecraft & now Stealth)
I pimped Kingdoms of Amalur earlier in the thread. I really enjoyed it too. Solid RPG for those that don't need a deep story. I ranked it slightly behind Dragons Dogma Dark Arisen but Amalur stands on its own as a pretty fun game.
I kind of hope so. I have barely touched the main quest and have been banging out side quests left and right but there seems to be an inexhaustible supply of them. By the time I get back to the main quest I am probably going to be ridiculously overpowered, but I kind of think that is what this game is really all about.
That is how I play every quest based RPG
. Over leveling is one of my favorite aspects of these types of games.
Yeah I typically play that way too. I love leveling but I also like to give myself an opportunity to train with the controls and combat dynamics of new games and side quests are the best proving grounds.That is how I play every quest based RPG
It has been a while since I played but if memory serves, it was something like 75% spent on side stuff and 25% spent on main quest.
I think there sis something like 300 quests total you can do.
lol dumbest question ever no offense
It certainly feels like it, which isn't bad.That is how I play every quest based RPG

In short it is probably one of the highest rated and most respected games ever on the PS3. There probably has been 200 posts on it in this thread, 99% of which were positive.
Fasten your seat belt.I'm in.
fun but the side missions are way too repetitive. Graphics are simply amazing
Dude......keep playing....you have not even begun. Turn off all the lights......and get ready.
I mean obviously I'll keep going bit this was unusually long for a setup where nothing happens.
The combat is fun and I enjoy figuring out which combo of moves work well against certain opponents. My only real gripe with the game is the limited number of active effects/move slots. With a straight finesse character, I can only load 2 active effects and 2 moves. Yet the game give me plenty of choices of moves. Why not double those with or something. I'm going to finish the game without ever using the bow as I don't have any place to load bow attacks.Yeah I typically play that way too.

But no pressure.Fasten your seat belt.
Simply the best non sports game ever made on the PS3.
I know it sounds like hyperbole or that I'm joking, but I'm not. Bioshock: Infinite is a definite waste of time.
Can't forget the awesome Wizardry series.
After playing Bioshock 1 & 2 I simply have no interest but I have heard good things about the endgame or near endgame story.
Other than Bioshock, best game I've played in last 10 years. In my top 5 all time. It's THAT good.
I really hope they didn't add content. I'm a big enough fan of these games that I'd consider revisiting them if so.
Have fun! After New Vegas I think I'll fire up FO3 again until Watch Dogs comes out.
