Diablo games aren't RPG's They're hack'n'slash.

Legend of Dragoon was pretty rad, especially the fights how they made you time your attacks to pull off better combos or moves. Been years since I've played it, but from what I can remember the story was a decent one too.

Half your games also came out on the xbox: Jade Empire, KOTOR 1 & 2, Fallout series, Baldur's Gate. Though the xbox is similar to a computer it is a home console

Oblivion is another great RPG.

But all RPG's suck in comparison to one almighty RPG by the name of The Bard's Tale. The old computer version was great but the tech of the time could not truly realize the vision of this masterpiece. The return of it on the xBox marked it as the greatest RPG of all time though no one knows of it really. This game is an RPG that makes fun of all RPGs, constantly breaks the fourth wall, and not only has a great story but great music. Your main character is not out for revenge or to save/destroy the world; he is interested in only two things: Coin & Cleavage.

With all the crap that makes no sense in most RPG such as people getting mad if you steal from their shelves but say nothing when you open a chest in their house or going on quest to kill rats and other unwanted creatures, or how about all the crap that every hero in an RPG is a "Chosen One" this game makes a joke of all of it and shows what really happens when people claim to be a Chosen One. All of it made apparent in the first 10 minutes of gameplay. For instance with the chest thing: The first tavern you start the game in you meet a bar tender named Mary who is very big breasted. You get a quest to go kill a rat troubling the basement. You go into the next room and open a chest. Then the following conversation happens:

Narrator: And then bard looted the chest which contained the widow's most precious . . . wait a minute . . . did I read that properly . . . (speaking directly to the bard) Your stealing from her!?

Bard (speaking to the narrator): I wouldn't call it stealing exactly. I mean people leave all kinds of things in chests and they never seem to object when I help myself. Think of it as a public service. I mean who knows how cluttered these chests might become if I didn't do my part to help clean them out.

Narrator: In hindsight I am surprised it took this long for the Bard to get his hands on Mary's chest.

The when you go down and kill a very small rat you are hailed as Rodent and Rat Bane killer by the narrator then he questions if you really made the cellar safe as a giant fire breathing rat set you ablaze.

This game was released on the xbox and ps2 and anyone who has not played it has not played a good RPG.

All the best Fallout games came out only on PC (Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics). The first Xbox had Brotherhood of Steel which I didn't like and the new Fallout 3 (PC, PS3, 360) is a crappy game in my opinion. It feels more like a typical shooter rather than an excellent RPG game... and it doesn't even have turn-based combat. The same deal was with Baldur's Gate. It was a crappy hack'n'slash game on consoles and it didn't resemble the PC versions at all.

I've played the remake of Bard's Tale on PC, but didn't find it that entertaining. Had some laughs but didn't even finish the game. Guess I'm more into hardcore RPG's where you have to go through tons of stats, think through each monster encounter and are presented with endless possibilities on how to progress in the game. I also like to read a lot of long dialogues and this is one of the main problems with console RPG's, because you can't display too much text on the screen. I can't say for sure but I'm certain that Fallout 3 for example has less text than its predecessors.

Oh, and did I mention that i hate jRPG's, including Final Fantasy series?
