Ick Xenogears. This is an easy poll.

Surprised to see no votes for #4... aside from Cajole, EB seem to be quite the RPG fans. I voted Mondain, Xenosaga very nearly made even me give up on RPGs...

I think I deserve a slot in that poll for putting BG2 and IWD above Torment in my Infinity Engine hierarchy.

Play VI. You'll like it better.

Can't vote for Drinky 'cuz I rely on his recommendations on what games to get, so it'd be hypocritical to denigrate someone whose tastes match my own.

Also, I'm disappointed that I'm not in the poll.


P.S. I voted Mondain.  I liked Xenogears but it's aged really badly.  Best story since the Renaissance my ass.

Does FF8 get better after the first 2 hours or so?  The pace is so slow at the beginning.

Who the hell said that?

Two Worlds isn't actually that terrible on the PC, to be fair. Framerate is like 5 times faster and many of the conventions are more familiar to PC folk than console gamers.

I think Drinky was referring to stuff like Mage Knight Apocalypse or weird RPG hybirds like Etherlords, the early Spellforce games, EVIL ISLANDS, or Heroes of Annihilated Empires.

Mine are V and VIII, same as Drinky.  Honorable mention to VI for being the first game to get me back into gaming after I'd given up for a few years after the NES days.

ff8 is a fine example of bad rpg taste

but if mondy goes ff8 + xeno then he wins

Title: Re: evilbore voting channel: the worst taste in rpgs?
Post by: The Sceneman on October 10, 2007, 03:47:47 AM
My favourite rpgs are: FFVII, VIII and IX, Baten Kaitos Origins, Vagrant Story, Skies of Arcadia, Contact, Etrian Odyssey and now Mother 3

I could be a contender for shittiest taste, maybe. Some of those games are generally considered 'shit'

A wise man told me people who say FFVI is the best are blinded by nostalgia. Is this true, because most people tell me FFVI is omg great.

Like I said I loved FFIV. Tellah  :'(

Nah. It's aged pretty well, especially the music. VI is probably one of my favorite games of all time.

God. I think if I get a job I'm going to get back in to gaming. This is fucking EPIC considering the last game I purchased was WoW almost three years ago. Blue Dragon looks fun. Character art is a little fugly though.

my sister enjoyed FF6 the most, and having been born in 1991 she didn't play it until well after it came out and after playing and finishing FF9 and Chrono Trigger.

I liked 4, 5, 6 and Tactics, and would probably have liked 9 if not for the battle load times and excessive redundant event scenes.
