It is time.
We will enter 50+ RPGs into the ring of battle to determine the champion of one of Board 8's favourite genres! Please note that this refers to video game RPGs only, so nothing pen & paper. As for what qualifies as an RPG, it must CLEARLY be an RPG above any other genre. This means that hybrids that are an FPS/action game first and an RPG second (like Borderlands or certain more recent Fallout entries) will not be considered RPGs for the purposes of this contest. Zelda games not called Breath of the Wild will not be eligible. If you have to debate why it is or isn't an RPG, it probably isn't for the purposes of this contest. You may not nominate a series - only individual games. One exception: Pokmon games may be grouped if they have the same content (so RBY, GSC, RSE, DPP, and S&M/USUM may be grouped, but BW and B2W2 are separate). Remasters (though FFX and Symphonia are both two separate games regardless) and enhanced versions (Persona 4 Golden) will count as the original game. Remakes may or may not be - it will depend on how serious the alterations were. If you have questions, ask! For a twist, this contest will be run Redemption Island style. This means that once a game is eliminated, it will enter a "duel" in the following day's poll. The top vote-getter in that poll will move on to the next day; the one(s) that do not will be permanently eliminated. At two certain points in the game, the poll winner will re-enter the contest. Both of these will occur before the top 10, so worry not! Each person will get five nominations at this time. It takes nominations from three different users to enter the contest. Here are my five: The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (PC/360) Persona 4 (PS2/Vita) Pokmon Black & White (DS) Tales of the Abyss (PS2/3DS) Tales of Xillia (PS3) This will cap when I feel they should - it depends on interest! I may allow more nominations later (I will only get these five myself). But for now, let's get this going! --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. ...

Skyrim is okay, actually, since there's more than one playstyle available. You're free to switch out one of your nominations. I found both Fallout 3 and New Vegas to be too much of a shooter/action game due to there being only one playstyle. But that's just me. I Googled it and saw there's a lot of debate about Fallout 4. I think I WILL allow Fallout 3 though. And Mass Effect, of course. --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. ... Copied to Clipboard!

How so? It's an Rpg game with elements of a shooter. Vice-versa. It's a shooter first. If I allowed Borderlands, then I'd have to allow many other games that "have elements of an RPG."

borderlands is so much more of an rpg than fallout O RLY? But, and I've only played Borderlands once briefly when I was in college, Borderlands appeared to be a FPS with character progression - and you only had four character choices, each with three skills that you couldn't choose. Fallout lets you completely customize your character and their decisions, although many of those "decisions" don't mean much and several skills are worthless. What's your argument?

I've only played Borderlands for 150 hours, and it appears to be a FPS/RPG hybrid with a very pronounced level system that can dramatically change how your character fundamentally functions with its special abilities, skills and skills.
I've only played Fallout for 90 hours, and it appears to be a shooter with a level system and a few token skill upgrades that primarily affect weapon efficacy or social interaction. both are aggressively not pure RPG games --- Life before death.

Okay, tell ya what. I'll add Borderlands to the list then (so Harris gets a 6th nomination for free)
If it gets in, I'll do what happens in King of the Mountain and poll the audience as to whether or not they think it qualifies. I do think it's 75% FPS, personally, but you've played it 150 times more than I have so I'll take your word for it. --- https://imgur.com/t3naEGu I'm BlueCrystalTear, probably at work. ...
