    Hey guys. I'm kind of new here, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any good Role Playing Games for the 360?

    I love Halo, but lately I'm been wanting something a little more immersing. I played Oblivion, and loved it. I've been told that Fallout 3 is supposed to be a RPG, but I was thinking of a more classic one.

    I also saw a trailer for The Last Remnant, and that looks cool. Does anyone else know anything about this game?

    My favorite RPGs (or RPG-like games) have been Morrowind, Oblivion, KOTOR, and the Zelda fames. Sadly, I never got to play the one on the Wii.

    Anyway, thanks in advance for the help!

    Yeah, that's what my buddy said. But I don't know. Maybe I'll rent that one. But yeah, Bethesda makes a mean RPG.

    Wait for fable 2. Play offline or online with your friends. It's supposed to be really good when it comes out. THe world around you changes with you. You start as a kid and get older. Try it when it comes out.

    Borderlands! It's kinda a mix between an RPG and an FPS, but not in the way that Fallout 3 will be. It's essentially a FPS with somewhere in the 500,000 range of different guns, on top of the 100,000 different armors and gear and whatnot. So you can gear up to the crazy extent of WoW, with all the stats and special abilities and whatnot, but it's a FPS. I'm definately getting this game when it comes out

    rpg

    I would recommend Mass Effect. It's a combination RPG-shooter with one of the best storylines I've seen. However, it did take me a whole goddam month to get all of it's achievements.

    I love Bioshock - It did beat out Halo 3 for game of the year for a reason. (Halo 3 was best multiplayer game of the year) Despite it's heart-moving and unique story, Bioshock is not an RPG.

    You are like my Mini-Me

    I
    ****ing
    Love
    You

    Anyway, although Fallout 3 may not seem like a classic RPG it is designed by Bethesda, who created all the Elder Scrolls Games.

    Also if you liked KotOR then you would like Mass Effect, except instead of roll attacking it's real time combat, you can still pause by holding down the change weapon buttons, and use skills buttons.

    Lost Odyssey is supposed to be good, but I'm not the biggest fan of JRPG's.

    Wow, you guys have given me a lot to think about and look into.

    I did forget to mention that I played and enjoyed the first Fable. It was unlike any RPG I had played before. It was unique, and the second one looks like more of that awesomeness.

    But there was one thing I didn't quite like about the first one. Near the end, the battles were repetitive because I had this really powerful spell that just killed everyone. I can't remember all the details, but I didn't like that part. But still, Fable rocked.

    I have not heard of this Mirrors Edge. I'll have to look into that.

    I never did see it as an RPG. I played the demo for it, and I thought it was a great shooter/puzzle type game. There are RPG elements, like leveling up certain things, but it doesn't seem like the RPG experience that I'm looking for. Still, people say it's awesome.

    Yeah, I have confidence in Bethesda. I loved Morrowind. I think that all total, I spent more hours playing Morrowind than Halo 2. And I played over 10,000 games of Halo 2!

    But what are JRPG's? And I've never heard of Lost Odyssey either. I'll have to look into that.

    JRPG's = Japanese Role Playing Game's

    for example The Final Fantasy series.

    Admit it. You totally just made that up 'cause you're too lazy to type out "Japanese".

    I would say that if you want one now, pick up Lost Odyssey. If you are willing to wait, there are a ton coming out that will be fantastic. Final Fantasy XIII, Tales of Vesperia (tired story, excellent gameplay), Star Ocean, Fable 2, Fallout 3. I don't think The Last Remnant looks that great myself...

    Oh yeah, and I almost forgot what might be the best one, Too Human! That game looks amazing!
