IGN's top 100 rpgs OF ALL TIME

[MicoSelva]

IGN is the EA of gaming journalism - epitome of the decline. I would check the list for the lulz, but that's just what they want, more clicks to monetize.
No, thanks.

I call Baldurs's Gate 2 as #1, so they can show how "unbiased experts" they are voting such a old title...

 

[hoverdog]

my take:
1. skyrimjob
2. final faggotry vii
3. baldur's gate 2
4. fallout 3
5. mass effect (probably 2)
6. zelda whatever
7. diablo 2
8. dragon age
9. some other jap stuff
10. some "old" game, maybe fallout, maybe torment

 

[felipepepe]

1. Baldur's Gate 2 - since I think this is being payed by BG:EE PR team.
2. Skyrim
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Final Fantasy VII
5. World of Warcraft
6. Chrono Trigger
7. Dragon Age 1
8. Fallout 1/2 - for credibility
9. Pokemon Red
10. Diablo II

I recognize Mario, Skyrim Dude, Irenicus, and the blob from Dragon Warrior.

EDIT: M&M6 is #82 :D

The front girl is from Jade Empire, the military dude is from Valkyria Chronicles, anime girl with spear is from Odin Sphere... no idea on the guy on the left... looks like the one in Shadow Hearts...

I bet they will cram Wasteland somewhere in between 50 - 70 and pretend they give a shit about it just because there will be a Wasteland 2 soon.

 

[Zboj Lamignat]

You'd think that top 100 is more than enough even for a retard to mention most noteworthy titles, but judging by 100-80 they will outdo themselves by simply naming every shitty jrpg.

 

[Humanity has risen!]

Might and Magic VI will be better than their top 10 put together sans BG2.

 

[Lagole Gon]

[knowledge - coprology] I will predict the results

1. Skyrim
2. FF7
3. Mass Effect 2
4. Baldur's Gate II: SoA
5. Fallout 3

Srsly though, who the hell cares?
100 cRPGS? I wouldn't call it an exclusive club.

 

[Ermm]

Ocarina of Time. Mark my words.

 

[Dexter]

Hmm, reminds me of this xD

 

[roll-a-die]

Haven't they done this list like 3 times now?

Each time 10 of the top 20 or so have been classics IIRC.

I remember one list either on IGN or Gamespot that was basically, System Shock 2 Deus Ex and then Planescape Torment.

 

[TripJack]

when did /v/ get so bro

 

[felipepepe]

Witcher 2 on the "God Tier"? When did /v/ get so potato?

 

[potatojohn]

ign.com relies on ad money. The more you click their links the more you encourage them to make more of the same.

Posting an IGN link should result in an auto-ban.

 

[Telengard]

Has even enough actual RPGs been made to justify a non-retarded (ie Mario-free) poll?

Actually, yes. But they won't include anything old or very old, so, no.

But, take the picture list above and throw in the Gold Box games, the rest of Wizardry and Ultima, Betrayal at Krondor and Return, Betrayal at Antara, Temple of Apshai, Telengard, Dragon Wars, Bard's Tale, Centauri Alliance, Arkania series and you're already there. Plus there's a good number more than that.

So, apparently Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi are better RPG's than Wizardry 8. :baby: M: M:

And comments:

So you put Persona 3, the best JRPG of the last decade, in such a low position? Getting more and more scared. I can imagine lots of WRPGs in the first positions... BS!

Be scared, be very scared. How dare they put something that is not Japanese in top 100 RPG list. SCUMBAGS.

on today's ensemble, my big gripes are KH2 and FFX are FAR TOO LOW on this list!! i know people are ticked off about certain games on here but none talking or defending the "of Mana" series of games. i guess i gotta see what tomorrow brings to this list of controversy.

What the crap??? I'm going to cut some people Crono Cross at 61??????? There out of there minds hands down a very well loved and receved rpg and the doupe it like that??? Oh and quite possible one of the greats rpg on the ps2 FFX???? Man I don't like what they are doing on this list. Just sad that great games are getting slapped around by stupid
ingrants

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! HOW DARE THEY ONLY PUT SKIES OF ARCADIA AT 63!!!! I can tell you right now that there is NOT REPEAT NOT 62 RPGS Better then Skies PERIOD!

If Suikoden 1 or 2 dont make the list I am gonna club a baby moogle to death

Seeing FFIX and Persona 4 in the bottom 20... I thought this was supposed to be non-controversial? This is borderline blasphemy.

 

[ohWOW]

Wizardry 8 is worse than Grandia II.

And Mario & Luigi. What the fuck is that shit anyway, I dont even

 

[Ermm]

It's an AARRR PEEE GEEE.

Of course, since NintendoTards are a vicious breed, they had to put that shit (and of course, SuperMario RPG will be at least in top 20), nonethless if the creators of that top 100 are such a big Nintendo cock suckers.

Be afraid, because WRPG's will probably be in top 20. (so because of that, it will be bullshit)

These top 100's always end up in an infinite fanboy tears loop. ''MY GOD YOU BASTEARD LINK TO THE PAEST WAS BETTE THA FFVII!!!!!!!!1''

To be fair, it's a fun game. Just no RPG.

And Bowser's Inside Story is better - you get to play as the old dragon turtle and punch shit while yelling at Faux-Italian plumbers.

 

[ohWOW]

Just wow...

 

[Admiral jimbob]

honestly the M&L games are probably some of the most fun JRPGs that aren't pure traditional dungeon crawlers

 

[Ermm]

To be fair, without Mario (or anything Nintendo related) it wouldn't be in top 100, and no one would give a fuck. Just my 5 cents.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

tell me more
