PC Gamer - Best RPGs of All Time
- Thread starter Couchpotato

Vindicator
Primordial Dragon
South Park, really??? 
While I've heard it's a decent indecent game, does it really qualify as one of "the best RPGs of all time???" I'm guessing the author never played any of these gems:
Wizardry 8
Betrayal at Krondor
Might & Magic 3
Lands of Lore
Dungeon Master
Eye of the Beholder
The Summoning
Final Fantasy 7
… just to name a few off the top of my head.
However, I can't argue too much with the list, although I would've reordered them.
1) U7 2) UU 3) FO 4) P:T 5) W8 …

Good list except for Southpark, Torchlight 2, Diablo 3, Mass Effect 2.
These are barely CRPGs…
And Vindicator is right they are missing a lot of good old stuff.

Torchlight?
That list is a joke, I'm not reading more and won't remember any of it.
I mean yes it's fun. But cmon. Which RPG isn't. And this is supposed to be 25 that rule them all. Right.

Wheeee!
"We value fun more than the historical significance of a game"
Sounds good to me, but is it more fun because of the RPG elements, or because of the funny writing, or some other aspect that has nothing to do with it being an RPG?

joxer, we could ask Corwin to ban people that never played Betrayal at Krondor from RPGWatch, until they can proof that they finished it 
What do you think?
PS:
Corwin is a big Raymond E. Feist fan...

Okay - as an alternative I can see the complete Geneforge series in your Steam - account - just play through it in let's say 400 hours

Now let's be real, Krondor today… After you get spoiled with all the fancy graphics in games…
But back then? It was my game of the century. And it's not on the list for god's sakes. How's that even possible? Who made that list? Oh I know, someone who plays Diablo3 for years now.
No need for bans. Instead, we need someone to keep everything intact just "modernize" gfx and sounds in Krondor. It doesn't even have to be the same map/world system, just look nice and keep the combat system (read: puzzles!) and skills instact. And no bloody phonegames inventory style!
Is Unity complicated to learn?

I wasn't old enough to play with PC when you guys were playing Betrayal at krondor and I'm now at age working hard to earn money, it's possible the author of the article is around my age too

But purple when you do a list like this you should do some research and try games mentioned elsewhere, especially on sites concentrated on RPGs.
Hidden, I don't think battleground system would be possible to reconstruct with D:OS editor, but hell if I know. The map and skills, definetly, would be awsome. Just not sure about combat and that's something that should be intact even if everything else is changed.

Is this a nice way to say "Joxer and HiddenX are Old Boys, Golden-Agers, Elderly Persons, Ol' Geezers, Zombies …?"
@Joxer
Simulating Betrayal at Krondor combat with D:OS should be easy. It's turn based and works with an internal grid.

Wheeee!
The reason for these lists is to create a ton of ad income. Look at all the article comments. Longest set I can remember. Maybe the codex invaded.
They would complain that Arcanum is missing, Fallout 2 should be replaced with Fallout 1 and a CRPG top list without Wizardry 7 is invalid.

That sounds like the comments on GameFAQs about it.
On a side note, researching BaK is totally different than actually having played it when it came out. There have been tons of little quality of life improvements over the years that make getting into some older games harder for people who didn't grow up with them.
I'd be happy if they could just re-release BaK in a higher resolution. No need to change anything else. Just make it so I can see something other than giant pixels.
