I've only played a few...
FF7 for ps1 and Deus Ex demo are the only one's i've played. i was wondering how different those rpgs are from mmorpgs, can someone explain? are they turn based?
:atat: :atat: :atat: :atat:
deus ex..never winter nights...jedi knight?.....zelda ....zelda 2....morrowind...diablo1 & 2 if u call them rpgs...oni...anachronox.....dungeon siege..by far morrowind and and anchronox were the best ones ive played along with never winter nights for pc and deus ex ..HEY they we're all pretty good..
i shudder to think to be honest, have only played one other mmorpg though (DAoC).
I used to write rpg's, started with basic ones on the old spectrum ;)
Well, I've never played a mmorpg, but I've played many other ones (both diablos, arcanum, fallout 1/2, deus ex, ultima underworld to name a few.).
Never really played MMORPG's, except maybe one: Diaspora! :D
Tried EverQuest alittle when it was free to download just to see how it was, but quit after a month.
good thing set isn't here :p.
RPGs? BG1&2, IWD, NWN, DX, QFG 1-5 (even though it's classified as an aventure it still is more of a RPG than say, Diablo:D ), some more i can't remember off the top of my head.
I find rpgs tend to be to long for me... I mean I really really get into them, but then it justs gets boring cuz its all the same and I dunno...
like the FF series (mostly 7 and 8 and 9) there stories just got boring about 3/4 of the way through imo
EQ. Yeah, stop laughing. In terms of other RPGs...FF (all US releases), Morrowind, Diablo II, Xenogears..that's all I can think of right now.
The difference between MMORPGs and RPGs is that typically an RPG has turn-based combat (a la FF series), while the newer generation MMORPGs (EQ, AC, etc.) use a more lively combat system. Morrowind took the combat system from the newer MMORPGs and put them on an RPG.

The main difference between them is that one is persistent, the other isnt necessarily so. Also on line RPG's tend to be based on a players PC as a server, but MMORPG's are run on a central dedicated server. RPG's are also scenario based, whereas MMORPG's are much less restrictive. I could go on, but there really isnt any point coz i would lose the will to live :p
Ehm lets see,
Well Diablo1 and Diablo2, but they fall more in the line of hack and slash
And Neverwinternights, awesome game! Especially with the persistant worlds out there!
I cant think of any more, maybe some will come back to me tomorrow :)

I cant remember the rest.
I have done storie rpg's (however you guys refer to them as)
Buy I don't count those.
I have played more RPGs on consoles than on a PC. FF is my favorite.
MMORPGs:
I currently play UO: LBR and have been in that for over 2 years.
I don't really get into RPGs in all honesty. It's just that SW: Galaxies and SW: KOTOR look like they'll be great games and by the time February rolls around, I'll problably get my hands on the game as my computer will have been built ;).
The only one that I got into in the past was Zelda. I tred the diablo demo and I must say, it was too repetetive for me :eek:.
Icewind Dale
Ultima 9
Diablo I and II
Morrowind
Neverwinter Nights
Deus Ex
Also played EQ for a little while, as well as Anarchy Online. Both sucked donkey, so I quit. ;)

I don't think you will have to worry abhout SWG being repetetive until its about 2-3 years old, atleast I hope not.
Plus we can expect at least one expansion.

Morrowind is a great game. Diablo 2 is more of an adventure though, not very in-depth and not much of a storyline.

:OP don't forget pokemon lolz anywhoo i played most/all/more of them coz we normaly share games ;)
I've played and beaten every FF on PS1, just got done with Kingdom Hearts and FF X, anticipating both sequels and FF XI.
Ugh...I hate when I go to post and forget everything I was previously thinking of....lets see...
RPGs:
D&D
MERP (Middle-Earth RolePlaying)
Diablo
Kings Quest 1-7
Quest For Glory 1-4
Lord of the Rings RPG (The old SNES one)
Chrono Trigger/Cross
Secret of Mana
OgreBattle
Final Fantasy MUD
Final Fantasy: Mystic Quest - 3 (3 being the best FF game)
Final Fantasy 7 & 10
Zelda - All of em, gameboy too
Shadowgate
Mario RPG - stop laughing :)
MMORPG:
EverQuest
Dark Age of Camelot
Astonia - still playing my free months until SWG comes out
There's probably more...but I'll pretend there isn't and hide my geek-dom
The secret of mana that game was awesome I don't believe I ever beat it though.
I tried playing Astonia too, I didn't really like it too much. Thats the only MMORPG i've ever played so I hope all arent like that. (Especially SWG :D )
Gawd! There are so many. Well, I been and still play I think every MMORP games since EQ came out..but never played UO.
Far as RPG games go, I try to buy evry RPG game that comes out since...about 6 years ago...that when I got my comp but before the comp I know for sure I played every Play Station and Sega RPG game that came out.Even If I don't get to play it right away I still buy and it sits there and waits for me..so, I'm sure I played almost every game or close to it..too many to remember:)
Well, I haven't played many RPGs on PC, mostly on various consoles and far too many to count. As far as REAL RPGs, here is the list:
Shadowrun
D&D (dating back to the original version)
Star Wars (WEG and TSR)
Boot Hill
Gurps
Galactic Super Heros
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay
Deadlands
Vampire: The Masquerade (as well as Dark Ages)
These are just the ones I can think of off hand. Either way, you probably don't care, as these are old fashioned RPGs, Ie. with pencil and paper.
So many...all FF games, Diablo's, Baldurs Gate, ALOT
Oh Dath said something I did not think of..Table Top RGs too.
Yeah, I played everything Darth mentioned and:
the first D&D all the way to current, 3rd adition.
And Drunken Vampire..you should try that Darth..better:)
It's the White Wolf Vampire system, you just drink a lot and smoke...cigs...make funny characters..like I made a malchavien( however its spelled) Ex Jock that can only drink blood from drunk women...not men..just women .It's a fault:) A friend made The Count..remember him from that kids show?.Anyway, he counts a lot during the game..and turns into a counting bat a lot too....see the point of Drunken Vampire....?:)
*****WARNING*******
If you are under the legal age to drink then you are too young to play this game...Parents do not let you under drinking age children play this game
I should have put that warning on above the actualy post:)
Saw this post when I was browsing the old posts, and couldn't let Ewok Hunter's post slip by! ;)
And yes, anyone mentioning Yo-gi-oh or Pokemon or whatnot in their CV of RPG 1337-ness WILL get their heads cut off by me! :D
[I am editing as the titles slowly swims up from the bottom of my dark, forgotten pool of memories]
P&P: Vampire: the Masquerade
Mage: the Ascension
Werewolf: Apocalypse
Changeling: the Dreaming
Wraith: the Oblivion
Shadowrun
Drakar och Demoner (NOT D&D)
Deadlands: Hell on Earth
Warhammer (the RPG, not the miniature game)
Star Wars (duh. The old version, not the new D20 one)
Bubblegum Chrisis
MERP
Mechwarrior
BESM (big eyes small mouth)
Kult
Call of Cthulhu
Western
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (yes! this was compatible with Palladiums Heroes Unlimited system, and not as shoddy as it sounds!)
Paranoia
Eon
NeoTech
Mutant
Mutant Chronicles
Space: 1889
Kill Puppies For Satan
.... and possibly some more
SNES RPG:
Too many to mention. All FFs, (4,5,6), and more or less all Sqare's RPGs.
Bahamuts Lagoon
Breath of Fire 1 & 2
Chrono Trigger
Front Mission (Hey! It was RPG'ish. At least for a console game)
Live a Live
Secret of Mana
Super Mario RPG (Hey, let's not let only Benihana14 be embarrassed!)
Tales of Phantasia
Playstation RPG:
Final Fantasy X
Kingdom Hearts
(that's it! I just got my PS)
PC RPG:
Fallout 1 & 2 (FO1 is perhaps the best RPG experience I've had on a PC)
Baldurs gate 1 and 2
Icewind dale 1 and 2
Planescape Torment (leages better than both BG and IWD)
Neverwinter Nights
Morrowind
Dungeon Siege
Those Ultima Games. Don't remember wich, but at least Ultima 7)
Call of Cthulhu MUD
Arx Fatalis
FF8
Arcanum
and propably a lot more that I don't remember
LARP:
Two fantasy LARPs
Two Mafia LARPs
Some Wampire LARPing (though, I don't really like Vampire LARPers. They are most often quite weird)
MMORPG:
Anarchy Online (from beta 2)
Dark Ages of Camelot (from beta 3)
All Diablos, Zelda and whatnot that I've played doesn't count as RPGs. Since they are not RPGs.
What can I say? I started at a young age :D.
How was Arx Fatalis Set? I got the demo yesterday and tried it out, but it was awful glictchy. Did you have any problems like that with the game?
Can't say it was one of my favourites. But then, I really don't like first person games, and especially not in RPGs, where combat becomes a wild array of slashes where you have no clue about range or success of hits (Morrowind was ok, though the combat still sucked.)
Role-Playing Games I've played:
E.V.O. The Search for Eden
Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars
The Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
Deus Ex
Paper Mario
I'm not a big RPG person as you can see.
The best console RPG I would have to say would be Chrono Cross.
The best PC game would be Icewind Dale 2.

I have to be honest with you... Pokemon has to be one of the most addictive RPGs, EVER. It may be a little kiddy, but damn it was addictive.
Hmm, glad I didnt buy Arx, although it got great ratings. Bugs can totally kill a game tho...
I've tried Astonia, Thew, and the only similarity with SWG will be the fact that there are several variatios on chat channels, lol. Astonia was a bit slow and choppy, the graphics were 2-d and sucked, and for the most part, it will be as differnt from SWG as can be.
And yes, Secret of Mana was a great game, although its been years...didn't Santa Clause have a cameo in that game?
JS
Yes, I believe he did. If I remember correctly he was some ice monster, and then you saved him.
Ahhhh, lol, thats right! Well that does it, I'm going to have to dig out the old N-64 then...

What? SOM is for the SNES, dude!
What can I say? I started at a young age :D .
ROFL :D
I know one doesn't ask this question but: How old did you say you were again? :D
I'm 21. Basically, it all started with my dad, who has this entire library of old tabletop games and RPGs. So, me and some friends more or less learnt english by reading RPG sourcebooks. While the rest of class was singing "The wheels on the bus are going round and roung" and learning how to count to ten in english, we were sitting in a basement, reading the Mechwarrior rulebooks. Needless to say, I've never done a homework in english. Ever. And my teachers have never bothered me about it. RPG: the true way to become bilingual :D
So, I have some 10-12 years in the RPG business.
I can speak fluent english (american style!) too. !:eek:
one two three four five six seven eight nine ten OH!
