Goodfortitude Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hello all! I have been looking, unsuccessfully, for an rpg for ps2 that has character generation in it. I would like to be able to role the stats for the character, anyway. I haven't found anything yet. I even ordered the older "dark alliance" thinking that it would have this ability, but you only choose from 3 different characters. Any suggestions from anyone would be greatly appreciated, as I have been able to find nothing. Thanx ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jynxi Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 You can always search gamefly.com, they have a large list of just about any genre you can think of. I'm looking for a game for you that my friend got me addicted to a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vagrant0 Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 There really aren't any good RPGs for PS2, or even consoles that allow open ended creation. Much of this is because most of that open ended generation kills off most potential to develop the storyline a certain way. Meaning that at the price of gaining freedom, you lose the depth. Come to think of it, I can't recall a single "good" rpg game for PS2 that didn't sacrifice one for the other (and end up failing horribly due to weakened storyline). The only one that I can remember was some ROTK (dynasty wariors) based RPG/strategy game where you played the role of a general. Which did feature some depth as well as bredth, but doesn't exactly fall into the modern view of rpgs. That said, I think "Champions of Norrath: Realms of Everquest" might even be one of those games that was designed to work with the PS2 broadband connection, so you may want to do a bit more research before buying it. Seriously though, you're better off just trying to find a game with a character who is close to what you'd want to end up playing anyway, rather than deal with that broad range of possibilities at the cost of function, storyline, or anything which would be entertaining. This is afterall one of the reasons why consoles are't as good as a PC. They're designed for an audience which wants instant, uncomplicated, and disposable entertainment. This is also why Oblivion failed, why fable sucked, and most dual launch games will also suck. Console games aren't designed to entertain you past 24-36 hours, doing so would afterall probably reduce sales since people wouldn't be constantly buying/renting new games to keep entertained. Simply put, as far as consoles go, don't expect much, you'll often get less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodfortitude Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 I looked up champions of norrath. The reviews were actually pretty good and there is off-line play. I'm still open to suggestions, but I've got Champions of Norrath on order right now. It looks perfect for the job. Thanx Jynxi, very much....And thanx Vagrant for the info.

Abramul Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Pretty much any RPG should work, if you can find a reputable arms dealer. Computers don't normally have much in the way of armor, though, so an improvised cannon should work fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
