I'm looking for an open-world RPG...

[Quindiana Jones]

After playing Dark Souls, I've come to realise that maps are for the weak, and I shall forever scorn them.

Seconding Dragon's Dogma. If I were ever to review that game, it would start with "There are so many terrible things about Dragon's Dogma", but it'd still get 9/10. Brilliantly fun game. troute characters and story. Excellent world and gameplay. Carlton is a badass. I was working on a badass too, but unfortunately I moved country yadda yadda yadda. I miss DS and DD so much.

Japan really is dominating the Western RPG market.

Great poll.

Dark Souls is the most fun game I've played in at least five years.

Saving up for Dark Souls as of now.

i still havent' decided whether to get it on ps3 or pc

[Quindiana Jones]

Apparently the PC version is ridiculously good looking, though you have to download an unofficial patch for it. I don't think I'd like the keyboard controls with Dark Souls, though. When I eventually get it for PC, I will also be buying a normal controller.

[Laddy]

I will probs get it for PC since that's my preferred WRPG console. Plus, it's likely cheaper.

Dark Souls is Japanese .

But yeah, PC is a good idea. Make sure you download the unofficial patches to sort out the graphics (unless From Soft have fixed it themselves, the base textures and stuff of DS on PC are atrocious). Do you have a controller for it? This game is made to be played on controller, really.

i got a laptop with a graphics card and a ps3 controller (those plug in via usb)
but i dunno if playing it on a laptop is a good idea in case its slow or something
i mean this is not a game where you want the timing to mess up

Japanese in origin, Western in style. Which is why these labels are stupid.

One to stay away from would be Ragnarok odyssey. Worst $40 ever spent.

There's also Xenoblade if you have a wii too.

That's why it's best to read reviews first



Some are ridiculous (very biased when it's a series and the person who reviews it likes the series so much that they ignore repetitiveness and what-not) but generally they help out enough.

You could also try out Metal Saga if you want to play a funny post apocalyptic game.

I remember that game! It was pretty good too. It had a pretty big game world loaded with quirk and charm.

Hurray! You shall not regret this : )

I'd go for PS3. What can I say, the game was developed for consoles for a reason and it has a steady, dedicated group of people playing on this platform including the veterans of Demon's Souls.

I always considered the Souls games as closer to Ghouls n Ghosts than a WRPG... but that may have changed a bit with breaking down the barriers of zones with Dark souls.
