I picked Duex Ex up for £3 yesterday. I've heard good things about it. Are they true?
Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale 1 and 2, Mass Effect, Fallout 3, Kotor 1 and 2, Temple of Elemental Evil, Neverwinter Nights. Not Oblivion (****ing bears). More soon.
You gotta be a certain type of gamer/person to really love the game. You have to fit the criteria.
1) geek
2) have time to play uninterrupted
3) like your games with a story
4) like shooting games
5) love cyberpunk
6) be into conspiracy theories
and lastly 7) have patience for a game made 10 years ago that wasnt particularly ahead of its time even then. The story carries this game, and the dialogueis bloody awsome, really heady stuff once you get into the conspiracy part.
Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time & Link to the Past
World of Warcraft
Dark Sun: Shattered Lands
...not in any particular order. I have a harder time calling cross-genre games like Shining Force II or Mass Effect RPG's but they'd probably make the list.
As of recently, Monster Hunter. Strictly speaking, I kinda see it as a pseudo-RPG in full light, but that would only be because it's completely different from a normal contemporary JRPG, which aren't all that great imo anyway aside from the Tales series--I don't abhor them quite on the same level as someone like Yahhtzee Crowshaw does, granted. But heck, the one JRPG that I'd say is the quintissential example of a generic and uninspired JRPG would be that one Sakura Wars that made it to the states which, incidentally, ain't all that bad a game if it's what you're looking for.
