 Hello!

So I love RPG's; specifically the Mass Effect universe and the like of KoTOR. My question is, what other games do you guys suggest with RPG's qualities that are obtainable for the PS3? I heard a lot of talk about the Witcher 2... but I don't think its out for the PS3 with the new enhanced addition.

So, any thoughts? 

[SOLID_EVEREST]

I'd say that Dragon Age: Origins and 2 would probably be up your alley. It is hard to really suggest some because you are exclusively on the PS3 (only console I own as well).

[Dominus]

PS3 Exclusive RPGs worth playing are few and far between. the 360 had some great titles with Eternal Sonata/Tales of Vesperia Reboot. PS3 Multiplatform, what Solid everest mentioned: DA:O would be a good way to go.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution. Not an RPG per se, but much more so than Mass Effect 2 or 3

You're being a little vague. What did you actually like about KOTOR and Mass Effect that you are looking for in other games? We might as well be shooting blind without more information.

@Sajji

Mass Effect 2 is definitely more of an RPG than Deus Ex: Human Revolution. There's more dialogue and more choices plus classes. Deus Ex: Human Revolution probably only beats Mass Effect 2 when it comes down to skill trees as it contains more options for upgrading but there's zero customization as far as armor is concerned but the weapon mods are pretty well done. They're both action-RPG's in my book but both focus on different RPG elements.

@OP

Like Sajji, I'd recommend Human Revolution for sure. It's got great combat mechanics, great stealth mechanics and the story is good with choices to be made which make it a great role playing game. The whole atmosphere of the game is superb in my opinion and the dialogue scenes are handled really well. If you liked Mass Effect then you should like Human Revolution as it contains plenty of choices and moral stuff which makes you think. There's multiple ways to complete missions as well.

If you're looking for other RPG's that aren't set in a futuristic universe then I'd recommend Dragon Age: Origins as it's pretty much Mass Effect but more hardcore with much more depth concerning dialogue, companion control and customization plus choices and consequences.

There's also Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga which is an amazing RPG with typical RPG elements. I'm guessing party-based RPG's are your thing though? So I'd recommend Dragon Age: Origins for sure. There's also Dragon's Dogma coming out next month and it's a party based open world action-RPG.

Alpha Protocol

[PaulSX]

if you like kotor, you must try dragon age origins. they are basically using the similar mechanics but DAO is bigger and better.

Thanks guys!

I'm just looking for things that are similar. I couldn't tell you one thing I didn't like about KOTOR (1). I liked the mix of RPG and shooter elements for Mass Effect; It was an interesting combination, and certaintly fun. 

Basically, skill customiztion, deep lore, character development, and psuedo open-world environments.

[Merci357]

Deus Ex: Human Revolution should be a game just made for you. Alpha Protocol is also worth a look.

Good points, Elton John is Dead. I agree with that.

Okay then so here's a list:

• Divine Divinity. The prologue is 28 pages long and comes with the game in a PDF. The prologue and background to the game is amazing and well written. There's plenty of skill customization and the game allows you to multiclass. Character development is handled as your typical RPG with statistics and you also have dialogue choices where you can create a personaility for your character akin to Baldur's Gate and DA: Origins. The world is pretty much open and it's played from a top down perceptive.

• Divinity 2. Sequel to Divine Divinity. There's five skill tree and like the first game you can multiclass. There's a heavy background with plenty of books to read and there's great character development and like the first the world is pretty open and you can even transform into a dragon and fly about. Unlike the first game and the expansion, this game is played from behind the shoulder.

• Dark Souls. The prologue to the game is good and it explains everything you need to know about the universe. Everything else can be learned from characters and items and the lore and universe of the game is rather unique and interesting. There's plenty of skills to learn concerning spells, miracles and pyromancy and character development is handled through leveling up statistics, crafting and upgrading weapons. The world is rather open without any loading screens mostly. It's pretty much a rather hardcore traditional dungeon crawler.

If you haven't played them already go and get Baldur's Gate and Neverwinter Nights. They pretty much contain everything you should expect from a Bioware game such as good characters, good character progression and free-roaming. Neverwinter Nights doesn't take place in an open world but it does allow you to free-roam in the chapters.

Indeed.  PS3 seems to get the shaft in this regard.

Since PCs are the oldest platform still in use, you might be better off looking for PC RPGs instead.  Depending on how far back you're willing to go, PCs have the biggest variety of RPGs of any platform.  And I say this as someone who owns a 360 as well.

[acrb101]

I have a high-performing PC at home, but I'm currently dorming at college. PC suggestions are also welcomed if you have any.

I've been an Elder Scrolls fan since Morrowind, so that is another title to compare to.

[MarchWaltz]

Do you like JRPG's? Have you played any TALES Of games?

[Pyrceval78]

I'm going to have to agree on the Dragon Age front, ardently disagree on Deas Ex: Human revolution. I disliked that game with a passion. The voice acting was laughable, the character models looked wierd... the characters themselves entirely boring and uninteresting.

[Hexedcoder]

If your platform is the PS3...I would reccomend finding another platform for any of the characteristics you 'liked' in the games you mentioned.

You probably know all the major releases for the system (DA:O, DAII, Skyrim, Oblivion, Fallout 3, Deus Ex, etc) so big-name wise I probably can't mention something you don't know.

-Demon's Souls/Dark Souls is also worth a look, but it is reallly hard, and not everyone's cup of tea...and the closest thing to a WRPG you may find on the system not mentioned earlier.
-Disgaea has become Sony's flagship Turn Based Role Playing Strategy title, I think they're on Number 5...each one is an update like Civ so it doesn't really matter what you find.
-I haven't stayed on top of JRPGs too much lately, the PS3 ones don't seem as good as the PS2 and PS1 ones and they've released some real bombs lately.
-Valkaraya Chronicles (or however its spelled) Does something wierd to RPGs and Wargames, its interesting to say the least.
-Sacred 2 may be one you haven't heard of, its a Diablo-Like.
-Borderlands (Its like Diablo mixed with Phantasy Star Online mixed with Deus Ex mixed with Fallout mixed with Drenamine)

In all seriousness...*checking the in-game store*...You can download many of the better PS1 games...

-Chrono Trigger/Crono Cross
-The SNES FF Games
-Breath of Fire IV
-Wizardry (Wait...what! WIZARDRY!!!)
-Vagrant Story
-Xenogears...but...you need ridalin and you get to watch as the development budget dies as the game progresses
-FF7 (Overrated but still fun - Yes, I'm saying it.)
-Suikoden (But they don't have 2...
-FF Tactics (If it's the PS1 version instead of the PSP version it has a bad translation)
-Arc the Lad (Haven't played them but heard they were fun)

-If your PS3 can play PS2 Games, you should go through bargain bins (For Example: If you find a Megaten game like Persona 4, it's a gem)

Some PS3 Games which are on my NOT RECCOMENDED BUT YOU MAY LIKE ANYWAY LIST:
-Alpha Protocol (If you can find it used it may be worth a spin)
-The 'Tales of ' Games (Eh, I should include them with the likes of FF but you may find the story campy...like in every JRPG)
-White Knight Chronicles (Some liked it and get violent when they are told they are a minority and most gamers hated it)
-NIER (I thought it was an amazing JRPG, a lot of people also thought I was retarded)
-Dungeon Siege III (A dissapointment compared to the earlier ones and compared to other diablo clones, but you may enjoy it)
-Kingdom's of Alamur (It's Skyrim for babies)
-Two Worlds (One of the most controvercially reviewed WRPGs, probably because it was on console and there wern't many WRPGs played by console gamers. You'll either enjoy playing it, or absolutely detest it - It came with a D20 rulebook though)

I think that about covers it for the PS3, people after me will debate this list, which is inconsistent and add others to it to help inform you.

Oh, oh.

I haven't been paying attention.  For PC Gaming suggestions. Especially if you can find a Low-End Laptop, I'll leave this link here:

http://www.gog.com/catalogue/rpg

I can pretty much stand by most of those games.  Unfortonately, they don't carry some realllly old stuff like the Gold Box games and Pool of Radiance.

Gothic is another good one, it can be found on Steam but don't start with the Third it loses focus, Play Risen instead if your looking for a "modern" looking Gothic...but it's still not as good as Gothic I and II.

Avernum (available on Steam) or any of Larch's other games like Exile also come reccomended, but they are graphically primitive. (You can find Geneforce and Spellforce on steam but like any of these Indies by this guy, once you've played one they're all the same)

Mount and Blade (Steam), I haven't played it, but some CRPG fanatics have been trying to get me to play it.

Binding of Issac (Steam), a roguelike.

Torchlight, Diablo, Diablo II (Torchlight runs fine on my laptop, but Diablo II may work better for that genre)

Divinity II (Steam)

Freedom Force (Steam) - It's...interesting

Grimrock (Steam) - Aside from Might and Magic, it may be the closest to Dungeon Master, Wizardry, or Eye of the Beholder you can find.

As a shameless plug for PC games which are not RPGs but you should play anyway I'll throw in Beyond Good and Evil (Ubisoft) and The Longest Journey (Funcom) one is a third person action/adventure, the other is a point-and-click adventure.  Both are very good and if your into the wide-open imaginative world stuff, they are probably in your taste and run well on old or low spec PCs since they are old games.

Nethack:  http://www.nethack.org/  Its a roguelike and its hard.

Dwarf Fortress:  http://www.bay12game...s/features.html More of a management type game but epic for this alone:  http://lparchive.org...d/Introduction/

CRPG Addict is also a good place to browse around:  http://crpgaddict.blogspot.com/

I see several recommendations of Divinity 2, which it awesome. Anyone have an experience with the Drakensang series?

[Hexedcoder]

This was pulled from "That Other Wiki" But I never played it myself:

TEH Pasting begins here:

Drakensang: The Dark Eye received an average of 75% on Metacritic averaged from reviews with user reviews giving it 9.1 out of 10.[12] IGN also gave a similar vote of 7.5 praising the detail of the game while criticizing its cliches.[15] The Cnet review called the story generic and the management of characters overly complex, but said the game is fairly captivating. The reviewer noted, "Everything here seems to have been randomly pulled out of the grab bag of RPG cliches." It received a rating of three and half out of five stars, for a "very good" score.[16]

The Guardian gave it four out of five stars, and said it was "worth a look if you enjoy PC role-playing games." The reviewer noted that the game has a "bit of an image problem", which he called a shame. He said the game is a structured party affair that will be familiar to players of Baldur's Gate. He called it an "above-average adventure romp that will reward gamers who commit to the cause."[17]

The primary criticism from Eurogamer is that the game fails to sufficiently explain itself, as it lacks an in-game manual. The reviewer puts the story somewhere in between Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, balancing story with combat. The game lacks the moral grayness of The Witcher, but "manages to be charmingly funny upon occasion." The strongest part of the game is in the mechanics. Combat include situations "which really do demand attention, thought, and running away and coming back later." However, the objectives are spread about, requiring plenty of travel. Combat has some "twitchiness", with characters running around to accommodate the player's orders. The review concluded that "Drakensang is a fine RPG which looks better than it is, due to the relative dearth of similar games on the PC in recent times."[13]

GameZone criticized the number of cliches while calling the story ideas well implemented and the production values good. The game is deemed worth picking up because of some of the twists in the story lines. The one problem mentioned with the story is the long, involving side quests, which can cause the player to lose sight of the objective. The graphics are well thought of, although they could have been better. Voice work is strong, but there is an insufficient amount. Control of the characters during combat is called frustrating with characters responding slower than they need to. In conclusion, the game is called "a good, quality title that has few bugs, an engaging story and maybe more than a few cliches."[14]

Drakensang: The Dark Eye won the "Best RPG 2008", "Best Story" and "Best Soundtrack" at the German Developer Awards in Essen.[18]
