Best RPG in the last 5 years

[Mephisto_Helix]

The epitome of an RPG is the massive length and scope of the game. Games like ME are not real RPG's because they are linear and short and, in my opinion, just plain shit.

The more scope, the more time sinks available, the immersive story, that is what equals a great RPG.

Id take the 40 - 50 hours I spent in each Mass Effect or the 40 odd hours I've spent in Witcher 2 over the 400 odd hours I've spent in Fallout 3, Vegas, Skyrim or Oblivion for the simple reason that on stroy alone the latter fall flat but to each his own.

Not sure how you can call ME short, think my average for those games has been around 30hrs. Mine time is no factor for quality. Also if you are going to label other games as shit then you should at least provide some concrete examples of what you deem to be good.

Not Diablo 3, Not Fable 3, Not, Mass Effect 3, Not Dragon Age 2.
Fall out series, Guild Wars, Dragon Age, Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii), Zelda Series.

Another big thing for me in RPG's is the ability make choices that matter. That every decision have consequences. I think the best game to do that is the mass effect series

[Verrayne]

Xenoblade Chronicles and The Last Story.

I don't feel any kind of connection with a WRPG, the art style's are utter shit to me. I tried ME3 on my PS3 (got it on sale) and it was the worst fucking thing I ever saw in my entire life. Final Fantasy X on Ps2 had better graphics and ran smooth, it wasn't such a steaming pile of broken antelope droppings thrown together.

After 2 hours of playing ME3 I couldn't bare it anymore and archived it in the bathroom.


**Demon Souls is also worth a mention**

Played a lot of RPGs and gotta say that the first Mass Effect really stands out. I think few games got it right to create such an immersive atmosphere. Also recently got into Dragon age and liking it.

[Isengard]

Dragon Age Origins, Witcher 2 and Skyrim. Each one for very different reasons.

[The Joker]

Witcher 2 by miles.
