Best RPG Genre

[emigre]

Dont know what type of RPG golden sun is but... yhea

It's a turn based RPG.

 

[overslept]

FPSRPG. Borderlands is my new obsession.

I also favor loot-hunting ARPGs (Monster Hunter, Phantasy Star, Torchlight)

 

[Slyakin]

Turn-based all the way. It's easily the best kind.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

Battle systems don't make a RPG game.

I like most all of them outside of SRPGs though.

 

[Depravo]

I prefer straightforward, traditional turn based RPG's.

Although the ARPG and SRPG sub-genres have produced many fine games I find a lot of ARPG's to be little more than glorified hack 'n slash button-bashers and SRPG's tend to lack any kind of exploration factor.

 

[Snappo]

Action RPG's. Love fast paced games where I can move freely while battling monsters. Pokemon is pretty much the only turn based game I'll play.

 

[admotonic]

Action RPG for me. I like the merge of an action game with the growth system of an RPG. It does need a good story aswell though

 

[x3Advent]

I like JRPGs and Action RPGs, I like some turn based like the final fantasy series but the gameplay keeps changing... From the active time battle to turn based then the different speed turn based of FFX, my favourite has to be KH though

 

[RKz]

i just noticed that this got stickied...

im happy to know that there's a lot of people that likes ARPG...

I definitely love the A smashing games...

EDIT: This became a hot topic...

 

[ojsinnerz.]

Personal preference? ARPG like Ys games. Turn based if done well.

 

[Snailface]

Whatever Golden Sun is. A Zelda-ish RPG?

 

[Zerosuit connor]

My favourite RPG atm is Mass Effect series
I usually like medieval RPGs such as Fable etc. but oblivion failed to keep my interest.
Turn based RPGs are fun too but for some reason, on a console they just seem a bit overdone like they belong on a handheld or something

i didnt like oblivion too..

What. I loved oblivion i have it on my ps3 Kept me entertained for hours.

 

[I am r4ymond]

Since I liked DQIX, I'm guessing that I like turn-based ACTION RPG?

Oh, and I also like RPGs like PS0 and FF, especially Crystal Chronicles.

Whatever Golden Sun is. A Zelda-ish RPG?

I'd say it's still turn-based, it just doesn't give you boring-ass dungeons (it's technical formula is the same as most other RPGs besides that fact).

 

[SylvWolf]

Gotta be the classic turn-based. The older Final Fantasy games, the DQ series, Etrian Odyssey... I love that type of game.

 

[Deleted User]

Turn based Role playing game, Pokemon, Older FF's, Chrono Trigger ECT.

 

[Hielkenator]

Still play secret of mana once in a while.

 

[Raiser]

Gotta be the classic turn-based. The older Final Fantasy games, the DQ series, Etrian Odyssey... I love that type of game.

Agreed with this.

+ the dynamic hack 'n slash type games such as Kingdom Hearts or the soon-to-be-released Final Fantasy Versus XIII.

 

[PolloDiablo]

Whatever Golden Sun is. A Zelda-ish RPG?

DQIX isn't an action RPG, it's just a turn-based one.
The ones you mention afterwards are, however.

Keep dreaming.

Oh and brandonspikes, it's etc, not ect. It comes from the latin "et cetera" which means "and the rest".
