RPG Games Help?

keyboardwarrior · 31 Jan 2009 at 08:23

Hi there... been a lurker for awile, thought i say hello and join and things, first post is a question AND an answer.

First, my name, NO its not a 'Keyboard Warrior' who uses the internet as a means to act violent and aggressive. Im a 'Keyboard Warrior' who uses there keyboard to exact pure pwnage on other n00bs in games.

A HARDCORE gamer.

Heres the question:

...I love my RPG's, like Final Fantasy, Lost Oddyssey and the like, but are there any games like that for PC using 'up-to-date' graphics and 1/2 decent gameplay? I know Last Remnant is coming to PC soon-ish but i wasnt keen on it for the ol' 360.

Many thanks in advance.

What he means is there was no need to start a new thread when you could have enquired in the other one

. The same question is being asked twice here with the same answer given.

Of course there is a need. If you cant find what you need in that thread, then what is the point in posting in it?

Have you thought about games like:

Mass Effect
Oblivion
Morrowind
Witcher
Titan Quest series
Dungeon Siege Series

Mass Effect - Played it, not like Final Fantasy..too shooter like for me.
Elder Scrolls - Didnt like them really...
Witcher - Cant play it, stutters like mad, also couldnt get into it...
TQ - Bit different, got boring not turn based

Dungeon Siege - Never heard of it

Im really after something turn-based like Final Fantasy, but im failing hard.

Firstly, the name explanation = sad.

Secondly, if the witcher is stuttering on the rig in your sig something is wrong as it runs fine on my AMD x2 64 4400+, 2GB Ram and 7800GTX.

Its not lag, just really REALLY fast stuttering, yet it runs on full at a high FPS, yet stutters, cant figure it out, so i left it on the shelf after my re-install.

To ask another question on the subject obviously. I'm not going to be drawn in to a debate here but I don't see how starting a new thread with pretty much the same question will yield different answers.

Exactly - it was pretty much the exact same question. I don't see how starting a new thread on it is going to get you a different answer to the other one.

Sounds like you're after JRPGs not real RPGs, you'll probably have better luck buying a PS2.

Only thing that I can think of that is turn based and RPG is King's Bounty: The Legend.

Course there would be nothing much of help in there because I will give out the same answer everytime it is asked.

If you are looking for a JRPG, the PC is the wrong place to be looking at.

Simple answer really is to get a PS2, PS3 or Xbox 360 for these types of games as they barely have a market on the PC platform. Maybe The Last Remnant could be a breakthrough, but we can never know.

Unless you can understand Japanese, or Moontalk as some would put it, then check out Falcom. These are the developers that made the Ys series, and are practically the only known Japanese developers that exclusively release their RPG titles for the PC.
