IGN's top 100 rpgs OF ALL TIME

[felipepepe]

I trully think the list was originally even more retarded, but they chicken out. Why there's a claptrap from Borderlands on the header's page if it isn't on the list? Obviously, it was at some point...

Final fantasy VI is the best game evah?
I actually played that shit, gave up during the first battle with Kefka when you have to split your party.

Years later someone told me that it gets good right after that part. Oh boy, I sure do regret missing this amazing experience!

At least they didn't put Mass Effect 3 at #1.

 

[Ermm]

After the big plot twist in FF6, the game became somehow uninteresting. Not that it was bad, but basically all it had left was powerful mobs, and spells which you had to grind. And it was a whole half of the game.

 

[ohWOW]

I played some FF years ago, don't even remember which one.

It was unbelieveable piece of shit. If it's the best series of jrpg ever, then I don't want to bath in that shit.

Because they're objective

It's the most popular*, which doesn't necessarily translate into best.

*probably because it's the most "accessible", with big production values and easy-to-average difficulty

I've seen it's pretty polarizing, people who like one half generally dislike the other. The interesting thing is that the game becomes more WRPG-ish at that point - the plot is not dragging you by the balls from town A to town B anymore, finding your party members is up to you (I think only Setzer and Sabin are required, Terra will look for you eventually if you don't go after her) most content is optional because the DRAMA is mostly over, and your objective is clear enough (kill that wizard in the tower, kthxbai). And tbh there's not much of a need to grind because the game isn't that hard anyway (you already killed everything Edgar, you can put down that chainsaw now)

PS:T's description is one awful sentence after another.

Doesn't seem that different from the praise you see on the Codex.

Bonus from the comments:

ME2 was better than the predecessor in almost every way possible...and thanks to its interrupt system and cleaner skill training elements, it was also a superior RPG...but in the "traditional" sense of an RPG (aka skill points and loot and such), ME1 deserves a higher spot on this list. besides, it DID start it all, didn't it? hoorah for BioWare's golden days!

I've already seen someone talking of feeling nostalgic about Fallout 3 (2008) on one of the Best Threads, so 2007 must be borderline paleolithic.

I plan to get nostalgic about F3, but only when the civilization will collapse and people start to eat each other baby meat. But nostalgia after bioware, that I can understand. Anyone can make a bad game, but to be a source of lulz and retardation, that's something only BW mastered.

Ah, and IGN once again boost up their view count by doing retarded things. Fuck those losers.

The only thing I'm afraid though, is there are newfags who will take it seriously.

Oh, I'm just referring to the writing itself. IGN articles read like they were written by a over-stimulated teenager. I don't care much about anything else here; IGN being IGN.

 

[ManOrCaveman]

So, System Shock now is RPG. On the other hand, I prefer System Shock to the japanese crap in this list.

There is substantially less Japanese crap on this list that doesn't belong, then say Western crap. Final Fantasy being the obvious exception that proves the rule.

 

[Excommunicator]

I didn't even realise there were 100 games i enjoy RPGs in existence

 

[Rivmusique]

Yeah IGN don't know shit, and that list is obnoxious to navigate, why would that do it like that?

100 ad pageviews per person that sees the whole list. Around 800 per very butthurt RPG fan seeing the list and crying in disbelief.

As far as I know that doesn't mean anything if they have a very low click per ad shown ratio. Without seeing results, most advertisers will stop buying their webspace, so if we don't click or buy their shit we're just a waste of their bandwidth.

For those talking about clicking through the pages to see the list: Go to the Home and scroll down. Mouse over the names to look at their rank.

No problem.

Looks like the rats are fleeing the sinking ship
