All games that are a part of a series count as one. My top five:

  1. Dark Souls
  2. Elder Scrolls series
  3. Mount and Blade series
  4. Fallout series
  5. Fable series (excluding Fable 3, haven't played it yet.)

Edit: they don't have to be PC games.
Edit #2: Shit I completely forgot about Animal Crossing, that game is the shit, even if Nook is an old, miserly bastard. I'm bumping off Fable for it.

Hmm noone mentioned Baldurs Gate yet. I don't even wanna think about how many hours i played it(both 1 & 2). I even liked it so much i bought several copies. Back when there were boxes and manuals and stuff like that hehe

Those were great. I'd add Champions of Norrath to that list too.

I totally agree with you. For me, the Baldur's Gate saga is by far, the best RPG that has been created to date.

It would be a shame that many people, haven't heard of it, or ever played... Run for it, senseless, RUN!!!! :P

Ohh my, so so many.... Well I'm finding it hard to choose my number 1, number 2 and so on, so here they are in no particular order:

The elder scrolls series.
Fable series. (I haven't played the second. The first was my favorite)
Fallout series.
Never winter night series.
Evernum saga.

I very tentatively give Final Fantasy a consolation place as a small sixth, but only up to and including Final Fantasy VII. Everything after that... well, let's not get into that. :P

I don't think it's fair that people say TES series because I bet you 95% of them have not played Arena or Daggerfall, and probably not Morrowind either, but here's my list:

  1. Morrowind

  2. Oblivion

  3. Mount & Blade: Warband

  4. Fallout 1

  5. Champions of Norath (for ps2)

Those would be my top 5, but here are some other great titles: Diablo II, Okami, Deus Ex, STALKER series (not sure if that counts as rpg...), Half Life series, and Dragon Age: Origins

I'll be a little bit particular.

Best RPG experience in Role-Playing sense is certainly THIEF series. I'll put it above all the others. But as to actual RPGS...

  1. Stonekeep.
  2. Planescape:Torment.
  3. Prophesy of Pendor (Mount and Blade).
  4. Throne of Bhaal (BG2) + Durlag's Tower(BG:Tales of the Swordcoast).
  5. Witcher 2 (chapter 2).

Honorable mention: Shivering Isles (Oblivion), Dark heart of Ukruul, Wizardry 7, Skyrim (best Elder Scrolls gameplay, but I haven't finished it yet to put it on the list).

^ This list, but with Arcanum instead of M&M6 (although I loved M&M 3, 4 and 5).

RPGS or jRPGS like Final Fantasy and the like? Very different genres. If I had to go with "Both" here are mine:

  1. Chrono Trigger
  2. FF3 (or 6 depending on where you live. The one with Mog)
  3. Mass Effect franchise
  4. Skyrim
  5. Xenoblade Chronicles

Hard to chose, and there are plenty of others I'd feel comfortable swapping in or out of the list. My favorite genre, for sure :)

I did. Persona 4's just a bit better. A bit.

The biggest let down on P4 imo is the character, Kanji is the worst, they doesn't have awesome character like Akihiko or Shinji anymore, and I also prefer the P3 ending. P4 is superior in battle system(full character control, not that I had problem with P3 but I prefer full control of my teammate) and the early-mid game story where they tried to looking for the suspect.

Anyway, I'm kinda sad because after the success of Persona series, they seems like to ignore the main series and put their budget on the cash cow, if you haven't played the main series, I recommend SMT Nocture, a must play for RPG hardcore!

The only reason I find P4 better is because Tartarus sorta gets repetitive for me. And yeah, I've been wanting to play Nocturne but I can never find it.

Soul Nomad and the World Eaters (PlayStation 2)
Shining Force (Mega Drive)
Golden Sun / Golden Sun: The Lost Age (Gameboy Advance) - merged because the save data can be carried over

You kids and your newfangled playthings need to learn a REAL RPG.
1: FFVII - es the best, I always win
2: CHRONO TRIGGER - es also the best, but not mordekaizer
3: FFIII/FFVI - still not mordekaizer
4: DRAGON WARRIOR - classic, but not always against mordekaizer
5: ANY TALES GAME BESIDES DAWN OF THE NEW WORLD - Seriously, not dawn of the new world. Never again.
Honorable mention is earthbound, but still not worth the price.(just emulate it already)
