Legend_in_blue Posted 4 January 2009 Posted 4 January 2009 We've found ourselves a little short of choice when it comes to RPGs on the 360 and PS3. If you take Fallout 3 and Oblivion out of the equation, there's nothing on the PS3 that I can think of that you can call an RPG. On 360 you've got Mass Effect and that was a pretty class outfit. Fable 2 as well. But I also managed to get my hands on a little gem the other day and it's damn good. Lost Odyssey. Quality stuff. It only cost me £3 after I traded in the too short and too easy Prince of Persia. GAME are doing it at £13 in the sale at the mo. I would highly recommend it if you are into RPGs. As for this year I'm looking forward to FFXIII but what else is on its way? As well as that, past, present or future, put any RPG gamer stuff in here!

It's one i've looked at but never got round to getting. Maybe the first Fable on Xbox aswel if you like RPG's that much. But you're right, there is a disctinct lack of RPG's on consoles. Did you get Prince of Persia on PS3 then?

Cat Burger Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 Mass Effect ay? Never heard of it but 9.6 from IGN is something special. Also Tales of Vesperia is some sort of sequel to Tales of Symphonia, which was a very good RPG for Gamecube, I'd check that out if I was short on ideas.
The People's Hero Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 Don't think TALES has had a UK release has it? Last Remnant looks good.
Manwell Pablo Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 If you like JRPG's then this looks good: Is it on the Wii? if so it's shit.
Phube Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 Is it on the Wii?if so it's shit. Oh and if anyone really does like JRPG's then "Secret of Mana" is now on Virtual Console...
Manwell Pablo Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 Oh and if anyone really does like JRPG's then "Secret of Mana" is now on Virtual Console... Thats shit. And so are you. And so's that cow. I'm off to to see my director and tell him your on the net at work spouting shit about Nintendo. Your wasting tax payers money.
Phube Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 Thats shit. And so are you. And so's that cow. I'm off to to see my director and tell him your on the net at work spouting shit about Nintendo. Your wasting tax payers money. I'm actually at home... fished at 3:15!!
Manwell Pablo Posted 5 January 2009 Posted 5 January 2009 I'm actually at home... fished at 3:15!! Right well I tell him you're skiving instead, probably to play Nintendo games, even worse.
Legend_in_blue Posted 5 January 2009 Author Posted 5 January 2009 I didnt realise Mass Effect was not on PS3.

Did you get Prince of Persia on PS3 then? Yes I did. It was too easy. It doesn't warrant such rave reviews and the high scores surprise me having gone through it. As for The Last Remnant, that's done quite badly with the reviews it's had. 65% average on metacritic is not good. Lost Odyssey is a real gem though. I would recommend that. On LIVE, you've got the xbox originals: Fable and Jade Empire. I've been told Jade Empire is a pretty decent RPG. Anyone tried it?
Legend_in_blue Posted 18 January 2009 Author Posted 18 January 2009 No-one got Jade Empire then? Anyway, bad news. FFXIII has been delayed and is now due out in April 2010 in the US and Europe. Still, gives me time to get my £3 worth out of Lost Odyssey. Each disc is well worth its 75p price tag.
MC Prussian Posted 18 January 2009 Posted 18 January 2009 Yeah, bummer about FF XIII and that new release date. Had to be expected, though. SquareEnix has done it before in the past. Gives me more time to get into and complete Fallout 3. @Phube: Nothing better than hijacking a thread that does NOT cover Wii, right?
Libertine Posted 18 January 2009 Posted 18 January 2009 Anyway, bad news. FFXIII has been delayed and is now due out in April 2010 in the US and Europe. Wha?!
MC Prussian Posted 18 January 2009 Posted 18 January 2009 Wha?! http://www.gamespot.com/news/6203284.html?...adlines;title;1
Libertine Posted 18 January 2009 Posted 18 January 2009 http://www.gamespot.com/news/6203284.html?...adlines;title;1 *Dies* First my beautiful Metal Gear comes to an end (With Snake anyway), now this! And Tekken 6 is taking the piss too.
Legend_in_blue Posted 18 January 2009 Author Posted 18 January 2009 So what exactly is being released this year which can be classed as an RPG on 360/PS3? I have no idea. Diablo 3 is due out on PC in March though. Still, 30 hours into Lost Odyssey and going strong and the possibility of Jade Empire off the Live Arcade should keep me busy for a while yet.
Legend_in_blue Posted 29 January 2009 Author Posted 29 January 2009 I downloaded Jade Empire from Xbox LIVE. What a fantastic game. Quality stuff. Anyway, new trailer out for FFXIII. Check it out here... http://www.square-enix.co.jp/fabula/ff13/ Looks pretty sharp. The ingame footage looks intense. Out April 2010. Not long to wait.
Legend_in_blue Posted 3 February 2009 Author Posted 3 February 2009 I cannot recommend Lost Odyssey on 360 enough. I'm now on the final disc, 35 hours in, and it's brilliant. There's so much extra to do, just like in FFX, so I can see it going another 35 hours no problem. Checked ebay, as reverend has suggested, and you can pick it up for less than a tenner. Believe me, it's the best tenner you could ever spend on an RPG. Some sections are pretty tough, and you'll need a range of strategies to get by, but the scope for customisation of your party is what sets this apart from other RPGs imo. Like the section I'm in now, been there for five hours. It's taking ages but it doesn't feel like a chore.

Looks like the 360's back to no.1, unless reformatting the PS3's hard drive magically makes it work (which it wont). I really am disgusted with Sony.
