Let those lists talk:
Good PC RPGs
1. Arcanum – best RPG created for PC, it has great story, world, characters, interesting combat, abilities, pretty much everything about this game is great! It would be like FF on PC if would have more installments.
2. Fallout – game certainly is interesting one, story is great, characters/NPCs have personalities, perks system was innovative and I would have enjoyed that game if not that brown colour, got sick of it after playing this game couple of times. Since it’s my personal disliking of dark games, it has nothing to do with this game rating, it’s still a great game
3. Then only more or less good PC RPG series – Might and Magic, although after 8th those games got horrible, these get this place only for being series and having stories most of the part.
4. Planescape: Torment – another dark game with good story and interesting gameplay
5. Diablo – at the time this game was created it was good, I don’t like Diablo-2, it’s not a RPG me thinks.
6. Baldur's Gate – story of this game isn’t that great but characters are developed amazingly. Although they personalities tend to annoy me more than to help to play the game it’s still good game.
7. All other RPGs which are clones of each other, especially medieval ones.
Please notice, that almost all those game except Arcanum are “darkish”, that’s what bad about PC gaming in the first place.
Good JRPGs
1. Final Fantasy series - selfexplanatory
2. Suikoden series – 108 playable characters! + story ! RPGers paradise that is
3. Chrono games
4. Tales
5. Legends
6. Breath of fire series
7. Star ocean series
8. Lunar series
9. Vagrant story
10. Grandia series
11. Xenosaga
12. Dragon warrior series (not so good except 8), etc., etc.
Should I continue? All these series are original games with original roots, combat system, stories and characters.
How about 10 good PC RPG games can compare with 100 good JRPGs… You gotta be kidding me…
P.s. I didn’t add KH, Zelda series and Super Mario to that list because I don’t like those.
