Chrono Trigger was great, I just wish Chrono Cross had been a different game with something relevant there besides a few easter eggs >.>

Only JRPG?
It would be good to seperate WRPG and JRPG.

Comment has been collapsed.

RPG can be broken down much further than that. cRPG (or classic RPG like your early Bioware or Ultima games), aRPG (action RPGs, like your Diablo and clones), tRPG (or Tactical RPG, like Jagged Alliance or Fallout Tactics), jRPG (Japaense RPG, usually described as your classic menu driven RPG), Roguelikes (which are based off Rogue which is considered one of the "first" RPGs, many games have tried to emulate the gameplay and it has transformed into it's own genre). There's a couple more but those are the main sub-genres.

On the subject of this thread. Early Bioware games. Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment and Icewind Dale are in my opinion the best RPG titles of all time.

Agreed but I'd put Jagged Alliance 2 as nearly equal to them. The original gold box games (i.e. Pool of Radiance) and Bard's Tale (not the modern version) get some props too.

Yeah but if you make as many distinctions, in the end there will be one game per category.
Stop to the first distinction (J/WRPG) is enough I think.
At the begining that was just that the OP names only JRPG. But in fact that depends what you hear by "RPG". Personnaly Diablo or Zelda aren't for me RPGs (Diablo is a H&S).

cRPG is more often used to describe computer RPGs, IMHO. RPG is normally played with your imagination. And a gamemaster ;)

torment and icewind were not made by bioware, they just use the same engine as baldur's gate

Yeah it was Interplay/Black Isle. Always mix them together for some reason. I guess it's because as you've said they all use the Infinity Engine.

Well, I divide RPG games in two categories - "yes, it is RPG" and "no, it isn't (or, game with RPG elements)". To be RPG game must have 3 elements: inventory that matters, dialogues that matter and stats that matter.

I also like fallout, but since people already mentioned it in this thread it's unnecessary to post it again. Other then that, Mass Effect 3 was a very good game, only downside to it was the ending, but they fixed that with free dlc.

Hell no. 1 or 2 I could understand but the trilogy? Utter crap, high expectations followed by a brutal crash.

Fallout 2, VtM: Bloodlines, Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights 2. Probably couple more I really liked, but those spring to mind.

Troika made a great game with Bloodlines. Too bad the company folded not long after.
