I have a lot of free time this summer.

oblivion
far cry 3? It has a big thread in here...post apocalypse with a dog
red dead redemption
the zombi game where you're in a mall, release title...lots of replay value I hear

Mass Effect 1 and 2 but they're too short most likely

Those are the big titles that come to mind, just not their names

7/9/2010 8:34:57 AM

fallout 3 if you've not played it
dead rising is the mall zombie game

7/9/2010 8:45:34 AM

a few others:

lost odyssey
tales of vesperia

7/9/2010 8:52:20 AM

I highly recommend Mass Effect 1 & 2. Although they aren't pure RPG's (more like RPG + space shooter) they are uber fun.

^^ That.

If you're looking for more traditional RPGs I'd say Dragon Age, or even Olbivion are good choices.

Don't forget Fallout 3 as well

The Saints Row series is really underrated

Not sure if its technically an RPG

7/9/2010 9:47:18 AM

Mass Effect 1 and 2. Fallout 3.

I never considered Dead Rising an RPG, but it sure is fun!

7/9/2010 9:57:25 AM

Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Lost Odyssey.

7/9/2010 10:06:40 AM

fallout 3

dragon age

Dead Rising does have very loose RPG aspects in that you can power up and learn new techniques and stuff but it is an action oriented game first and foremost. It is fairly short but there is a lot of replay value. I could just run around the mall all day and find new things to kill zombies with.

7/9/2010 10:45:31 AM

Fable 2
Mass Effect 1 and 2

7/9/2010 10:56:51 AM

Does Dead Rising have online multiplayer too?

7/9/2010 11:15:19 AM

I'd recommend this one...

7/9/2010 11:32:59 AM

RPGs are my favorite.

Tier One: MUST PLAYS and have the most replay ability.

-Mass Effect series, pick up ME 1 first before you play ME 2. The story carries over and it's very worth it, imo.

-Fallout 3 GOY edition- one of the best games ever.

-Oblivion GOY edition: you could easily spend an entire summer working on this game if you don't use any glitches.

Tier two:

Dragon Age
Red Dead

7/9/2010 11:56:08 AM

no one apparently likes Fable 2 in this thread

I thought it was awesome and cannot wait for the 3rd

7/9/2010 12:36:12 PM

Fable 2 wasn't bad. I probably should have included that in the second tier and bumped Red Dead out.

lost odyssey feels the most traditional and is very well done.

i rather enjoyed enchanted arms too, though it didnt get great ratings.

[Edited on July 9, 2010 at 1:55 PM. Reason : i heard blue dragon was ok and plenty long, though a little repetitive.]

I didn't know those games were originally made for Jews

I left the t out because it resembles a crucifix.

Both Mass Effect games are excellent choices, especially if you set out to "do it all." Completing every single mission, as well as the DLC, takes a substantial amount of time. Plus, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you finish Mass Effect and then see how far the game engine has come in the second one.

Dead Rising is another great game if you have the same "do it all" mindset. Attempting to rescue ALL possible survivors can be damn hard since you have to learn where to be at what time, but it can be done. There are also multiple endings to shoot for.

7/9/2010 3:44:38 PM

If you like open exploration with very little substance, challenge, or exciting gameplay (though the stealth mechanics are decent):
-Oblivion, Fallout 3

If you don't mind your RPG also being a shooter:
-Mass Effect 1 & 2

If you like simple hack & slash games with a level-up mechanic and completely pointless open-world choices:
Fable 2

If you don't mind playing a command-based PC RPG on the 360:
Dragon Age Origins



If you don't mind Japanese RPGs:
-Tales of Vesperia
It's easily the best JRPG I've ever played, and (aside from the SNES final fantasies) the only one I liked enough to ever recommend to someone else. The combination of being self-aware enough to avoid most JRPG cliches, combined with a simple but surprisingly deep combat system that is active rather than turn-based, plus fairly well-written character interaction. It starts off a bit slow, but mostly just because your party is still weak. It picks up about 2/3 of the way through the first act, and it stays entertaining for a long time (there are 3 acts, and each one can easily last 20 hours or more).

i had been considering getting tales of vesperia

its 30$ new on amazon....i think im gonna pull the trigger

7/10/2010 1:07:46 PM

Dragon Age is one of the best RPG's of the past decade but I probably wouldn't play it on xbox.

PC or nothing.

7/10/2010 1:13:31 PM

yeah after seeing it on pc i wish i had bought it for that


oh well, it was still pretty awesome. and i really loved the expansion, even though it was probably 10$ too much...

7/10/2010 2:02:52 PM

FFXIII ?

Play this game only if you hate yourself.

7/11/2010 12:11:08 AM

Yeah, you might want to make a note of how NOBODY has mentioned FFXIII.

How are you going to say ME1 and ME2 are too short, but then advocate RDR which is probably 10% the length of either of the ME games?
