RPG Games

[Shank]

OK

Im looking for a decent RPG game to play, when saying this remember im a avid Final fantasy fan,.

I like turn Based games a lot. It can be PC or Ps2, i dont really wanna play FFx again but if i have to i will, FF12 was just uber boring.

Come gents Help a fellow gamer out here.

A friend recommended Titans Quest.

Hmm,
Turn based + RPG + ps2 = Lord of the Rings Third age comes to
mind... TQ is a fun hack and slash

Theres The Witcher, which is a very nice PC RPG im enjoying atm

Witcher seems fun but got boring Quick, it lacked substance, i hate going on petty missions to save the village from ghosts or an infestation of rats.

I can see that im going to have to Dust of my old copy of Final Fantasy again.

Lacked substance?? lol. Of all the PC RPGs out there right now , it's probably the only PC RPG with ANY substance, the rest are fluff and just rehash the same old same old mechanics.

Unless you define substance as "having a zillion class/race options" or "a massive skill/proffession tree " and "ability to grind for new cool gear"

So if Diablo/Titan Quest is "substance" to you, then yes stay away from the Witcher. The Witcher is about the plot and the psychological character development , not equipment, uber spells or grinding levels.

Anyhow, if you're the Action-RPG type , maybe look at Hellgate: London. I'm only mentioning it, because i got Witcher and Hellgate together ....Hellgate bored me to tears, but i could see there's a big gear/skilltree/level/building up char thing going vs. Witcher which hooked me for quite awhile with the dialogue/plot/how the world grows on you as you go on. So maybe if Witcher is boring, Hellgate might work for you .

None are turn based though. Maybe Neverwinter Nights 2 [and expansions] might be close enough, as it's technically turned based.


Anyhow that's PC, on PS2 there's alot of Final Fantasy types , the ones i enjoyed [and they're actually available for dirt cheap!]


Shadow Hearts : Covenant
Baldur's Gate : Dark Alliance
Xenosaga Episodes I/III
X-Men Legends I/II
Kingdom Hearts [any version]

OK

Maybe my assumption of Witcher was little rash, i played it for a few hours and got kinda annoyed with it, cant remember why exactly i got bored.

Not sure if i should Attempt it again, I hear Kindom of hearts is good, but living in richards Bay is just uber balls.


There is like nothing here.

Witcher has tone of substance. The only two current games which compete with it for substance are mass effect and never winter nights 2 expansion mask of the betrayer.

The rest are all hack and slash action games with no substance or like oblivion with a very poor story lacking any depth whatsoever.

Try playing Diablo 2 with LOD or Baldur's Gate or "that other BG type game" again

Old games are so much fun!

In your defense though, Witcher does start of VERY slow. The initial "outskirts" with the "little village syndrome" is just the beginning of a pretty long game.
