Kaningutten Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Morrowind is good but Dungoens and dragons was the best along with ultima 7.If you want this to be a good discussion, you'll have to atleast say why you think they are better... I personally have to agree with Pharzon... Baldur's Gate 2 has something no other game has been able to reproduce to that extent: personality and life! I have never had that great feeling of actually being apart of any game, like I was in BG 2, since... Well, BG 2! The closest thing would have to be Gothic 2, which has one of the best and most vivid worlds I have ever seen... I am also very excited to see what Fable can do, and those durned americans will get their chance already tomorrow :angry2: while I have to wait another month...

Peregrine Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 D&D with a good DM. No computer rpg can come even close to the quality of a good pen/paper game. If you're limiting this to computer games, then Morrowind. Insanely detailed world, excellent story, few limits on freedom, beautiful architecture/graphics which still look good years later. What more can you want from a game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And from what Ive found when n00b's post around here, there are people who expect online capabillitiy; They just happen to be chumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dinin Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 Final Fantasy 7. The story was amazing. It actually made you use your brain. Not only that, the gameplay was something noone ever saw in the FF series. The art was great too, it was very dark, it almost had a Tim Burton feel, especially in the slums. I'm not sure I should even get started on the characters...you actually hated and admired Sephiroth at the same time. It seems like everyone has a friend like Barret, and Vincent was just flat-out cool. I can't forget the Turks, now that was a badass gang. Last of all, there was when Sephiroth killed Aeris (sp?). You actually had emotion when that happened, be it anger or sadness (both for me). This moment was even in Gamepro's 10 greatest moments in gaming history.

Kaningutten Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 D&D with a good DM. No computer rpg can come even close to the quality of a good pen/paper game.I have never had the opportunity to try pen and paper rpg. I once tried to get my friends along and try it, they just laughed... It's a thing I've wanted to try for a long time, but I've got noone to play with, so I guess I'll never know what it's like! :( If you're limiting this to computer games, then Morrowind. Insanely detailed world, excellent story, few limits on freedom, beautiful architecture/graphics which still look good years later.If you have good imagination, maybe... But I feel that there are so many things missing. If you count including all the great mods out there, then I would agree that it does rank among the very best! I'm not gonna list all the mods I use, but with their help Morrowind has become the game I have spent the most time on, ever! And believe me; That is quite a feat! ;) EDIT: I first wrote 'If you have good fantasy, maybe...' The use of the word fantasy was an accident, and would probably only make sense if you're norwegian. Sorry. I have changed it to imagination, which should bring forth yhe meaning of the sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeris sucked. ;) Actually, I knew it was going to happen before I played it, so I was expecting it, thanks to EGM. I'd have to say either FFVII or BGII, but I think, ultimately, BGII takes the cake. FFVII: Best. Setting. Ever. A scientific-fantasy, very believable world and characters [for a fnatasy game.] Incredible plot, memorable characters, the best magic system of any FF game [materia], great graphics for its time, a relatively long game, and overall fun to play. BGII: Needs no explanation . 300+ hours of AD&D gaming goodness. P.S. If you haven't experienced a Pen and Paper RPG, try looking online for forums or chats where they play them. I haven't personally done this, but it only seems likely that there would be places for this online, which try to simulate a livingroom game. Also, try your local hobby store. They usually have set times where people can gather together and play. P.P.S. If those don't work, play BGII. It's much like D&D, with the exception of multiplayer. [it has that, but it's nothing memorable.] P.P.P.S. Play BGII anyway. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would have to be a setting I was familiar with, too! About that local hobby store thing: Don't have one! I live far from any cities, and if I want anything other than the most basic stuff I would have to travel a while. And about BG2: I was actually planning another run through soon. I wonder how it feels now, so many years after... Thanks for the advises, but for now it seems like I'll have to stick with no. 3! ;) And I thought I might put in the worst RPG I've ever played, too, even though I am a sucker for most RPG's there are bad ones, and the worst; Sacred. To sum the game up with as few words as this game is worthy of: Hack, Slash, Bugs! The only good thing was rideable horses, though they were probably the buggiest part of the whole game... :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyjet3 Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Last of all, there was when Sephiroth killed Aeris (sp?). You actually had emotion when that happened, be it anger or sadness (both for me). This moment was even in Gamepro's 10 greatest moments in gaming history. That moment came in first on G4, i think... Final Fantasy VII was great. Basically it was perfect and WAY ahead of it's time. I still love playing that game. (Can't wait for the movie!!) Chrono Trigger!! This is one of the best, if not the best RPG of all time. The story rocked, music was great, graphics were good (for SNES at least) and you couldn't put the game down. Plus with New Game + the games replay value went up 10 fold. That game will always be in my mind as the best. Chrono Cross. Too many people thought this was a sequel to Chrono Trigger... it's not. I think that is why people don't know much about it. People were disappointed to see very little tie in with CT story... get over it. The game still kicked @$$... There is more but i can't think of them right now... these are probably the best ones i got... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
