"Which Rpg (for gamecube) is the best?"

The gamecube has now got three or four good rpgs out but which one is the one to get?
skie of arcadia sounds pretty good with massive gameplay and reasonable graphics whereas baldurs gate has a good real time combat system and a massive realm to wander through. Summoner apparently also has its good points and if you are willing to splash the cash PSO is definatel worth a look.
But i have not actually played any of them and at my present financial state i do not have the sponduli to buy them all. which one clearly stands out from the rest? oh and dont forget the lost kingdoms games.

Pfft.

Screens are nothing WS.

Want me to send you the DVD with a few minutes of footage on it? It looks bloody great!

CC looks to have the fun factor though.


I will get Sudeki of course, seeing as I am an RPG freak. But it looks like one of those games halfway between 'realistic' and 'fantasy', and I don't like that look much.

Except the new Harvest Moon, that pulls it off really well.

I'm never sure you can tell much from screen shots. Have you seen the Tomb Raider Screenshots SR have got. 5 shots of a black screen if you ask me.

I'm glad to hear of any RPG being released in this country, we don't get enough of them.

Pish

The screenshots on SR look dull.


Besides, it will never beat Skies or CC.

*Looks to be the best RPG ever, I beleive Tiltawhirl is rubbing himself over this game aswell

It's so refreshing to have someone admit I was right and not throw a hissy fit.

Well done sir.

*Totoro.

What defines an RPG is something I have often wondered about. Sorry for any offence Toroto.

OK, so Zelda is more of an adventure game than an RPG, please now end your snooty rage against small differences in game genre definition.

That's the other thing I was going to say.

In every game you take the role of a character, therefore it is a ridiculous and pointless thing to define.


And Zelda has no more different items than, say, Halo has different guns.

Does that make Halo an RPG?


No.
