Looking for a good rpg, with modern world setup

May i suggest you Shadowrun Returns Sir ?

Maybe it will suit your playstyle.

Same here. Sometimes RPG can be too generic, set in medieval ages, slaying dragons and orcs.

Anyway, you might want to have a look at Shadowrun Returns. Or SWKOTOR.

Have you tried the original Deus Ex

Alpha Protocol may or may not be what you're looking for, depending on what matters to you in an RPG. The combat and gameplay is merely pretty OK and there are some technical glitches you may or may not encounter, but the decision making element is really well done with lots of opportunities to impact the story.

Persona games are good if you like Japan.

Or you could just buy RPG maker with the modern day tileset and make your own >.>

Alpha Protocol really might be your best bet. It has some very major issues, especially with the occasional severe screwup in the storytelling, but it's a fairly enjoyable game regardless.

For what it's worth you might want to check out Vampire: Redemption. It has quite a bit of modern era stuff in it, and although it's not as good as Bloodlines, it's still quite nice.

And there's also Shadow Hearts for the PS2. Those games are more on the early 20th century side, but still closer than Skyrim/The Witcher/Gothic/Fable. The JRPG style might not suit you though, if you're not into that. Same thing goes for the Persona and Shin Megami Tensei games.

I'm in on this thread just to follow. Very curious myself.

Thanks for the above Shadowruns suggestions. Now on my wishlist to follow as it unfolds.

Sounds like there might be a market for a well done RPG in semi-realistic times.

Haven't played it, but I think Dark might be something you're looking for?

Mother 2, Crystalis, Final Fantasy IV, Seikun Densetsu 2, Terranigma.

Oh, you didn't want JRPGs? Sorry, those are all I know. The real RPGs.

Get Deus Ex: Human Revolution, it's on Community's Choice at 85% right now! BUY IT!!!!!

I'd have to second Alpha Protocol, it even shared one of the main designers from Bloodlines (Brian Mitsoda, though some sources say his work didn't carry into the final version of Alpha Protocol). Yeah it's clunky, but you won't find such a deep RPG experience in a modern setting anywhere else.

Just wanted to say the Masquerade Bloodlines is a really amazing game.

system shock 2 and anachronox, both a bit old but real good

Deus ex (original) , but the Human Revolution is good 2.

So, I'm following this thread, but I have to ask - What games DON'T require you to buy a console?

If I'm following correctly right now... The games that are on PC are... Deus Ex, Alpha Protocol, and Shadow Run?

If you don't mind MMORPGs, try The Secret World.

Fallout Fallout Fallout, post modern but its sci-fi modern.

Mars War Logs. Review doesn't says the game is not too bad for an indie. Should be enjoyable.

The Secret World?

The Last Remnant
