[QUOTE="JoshuaKadmon, post: 29096, member: 1046"] It's been too long since I posted a list of some sort, so here's one that focuses on the strongest development of the seventh generation -- open-world fantasy RPGs (including the best MMOs). I'm a real sucker for character creation and rewarding exploration, but the sub-genre hasn't really had the hardware to reach its full potential until the current generation: [U]Top 25 Open-World Fantasy RPGs of the 7th Generation[/U] 01) Demon’s Souls / Dark Souls [take your pick] 02) Guild Wars 2 03) The Elder Scolls V: Skyrim 04) Dragon Age: Origins 05) The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings 06) Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning 07) Fable II 08) Xenoblade Chronicles 09) Final Fantasy XIII-2 10) Dragon’s Dogma 11) White Knight Chronicles II 12) TERA 13) Monster Hunter Tri 14) Aion 15) Radiant Historia 16) Nier 17) Age of Conan 18) Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies 19) Runes of Magic 20) Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga 21) Risen 22) Two Worlds II 23) Venetica 24) Rift 25) Arcania: Gothic 4 I've played them all, and honestly, only the top half still deserve your attention. We've seen this type of game explode in popularity over the last seven years, and with games like Demon's Souls and Guild Wars 2 constantly evolving/refining the expectations for them, we're likely to see plenty as we enter the eighth generation, as well. By the way, I would've placed Vindictus in the top 10, since it's a huge personal favorite, but it just doesn't seem to fit this list as it isn't a true open-world RPG (more of an advanced dungeon crawler with online multiplayer and some killer fashionista customization!). It's also a download-only free-to-play game, unlike all of the others that have seen some sort of retail release. [/QUOTE]
