2012 I hope but I don't think we will see it that soon unless Bethesda hires more people or uses Obsidian or maybe a collaboration between both (my hopes anyway) ...didn't it take Beth 3 yrs 06-09 to get FO3 released.....don't get me wrong I would :wub: to have FO5 in 1212 technically with NV being 4 right?....at least before the apocalypse anyway. That's what http://www.gamepolitics.com/2011/01/21/interplay-vs-bethesda-who-owns-fallout points to.

:rofl: sorry about getting you all worked up.

Mass Effect 2 deserved it more than anything.

Mass Effect 2 was an RPGame?

I would dispute this but I can't think of one RPG that came out this year that didn't svck. That I played at least.

No Fallout game will be better then Fallout 1.

but really New Vegas was the only true RPG of 2010.

Although I was disappointed with FONV, I at least played & completed a few times. I can't even motivate myself to finish Mass Effect 2 once. Mass Effect was a lot better than 2, although it still had lots to iron out.

I rather long meaninful quests you can really get into as oppose to lots of short meaningless quests like the companion loyalty based quest Bioware put in Mass effect 2. Gee they were all absolute crap.

Yess!!!!

I played Fable 3, Mass effect 2 and New Vegas. And I have to say I believe New Vegas is by far the superior rpg. I'm glad to see it got an official recognition of this!!

WHAT? :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I was sure Mass Effect 2 would get it. It's a much better game! :swear:

Mass Effect 2 is a RPG???

Its more like Action,Adventure

No way D3 is coming out this year. You all know how Blizzard is.

BUT, Skyrim will have Dragon Age 2 to compete with.

I see a [censored]storm brewin'.

Dragon Age 2 have some limits in term of customization, something that TES never had,

So, between DA2 and TESV, TES win

Says you. Let's see what the rest of the world will say.

Congrats Obsidian. FNV is my personal GOTY.

D3 will be good I'm sure but the trailer doesn't do it justice ...I hope. It looks like a Lord of the Rings movie, can you say Balrog.
But I think Bethesda will be looking to hit it out of the park, you dig baby :thumbsup:

There'll also be Deus Ex 3 this year. I haven't kept up with it so I have no idea how rpg'ish it'll be though.

Because it's not open-world?

Think about it. You can still create and customise your character and make decisions which affect his/her story. So essentially, roleplay. Therefore, it is, in my books, an RPG.

Monkey Island 2 adventure game of the year. :rock:

By this logic Dark Forces II is an RPG.

RPG is about "role-playing".
If you compare ME2's role-playing aspect to New Vegas then New Vegas wins by far.
ME2 might have better graphics, story (I don't think so but I'm neutral atm), interactive dialogue and characters.
But does it really have better role-playing aspect?
In New Vegas you get four main paths.
In ME2 you get one.
In New Vegas you can be whatever you want to be (pre-courier that is).
In ME2 you get to be Shepard und only Shepard.
In New Vegas you can kill anyone you wish to so that you can be a rampaging psychopath, a silent assassin or kill someone for whatever reason you want to.
In ME2 you get to kill the people that the game "wants" or "lets" you kill.

ME2 might be an awesome game (I just think it's good, ME1 was awesome though) but it's not as good of an role-playing game as New Vegas is.
Just like how I consider FO3 an awesome game on it's own merits but an awful Fallout game.

My logic makes sense. Granted, the RPing possibilities might be limited to good/evil in Mass Effect, but character creation and manageable inventory, along with game-altering choices throughout the story make it an RPG.

Another thing that Mass Effect has over NV is that the characters actually feel important, like real people. This impacted my decisions a lot more throughout the game, and enthralled me in a way that New Vegas never has.

New Vegas was a great game, but in my books, it's not fit to lick the boots of Mass Effect 2 as an RPG.

Dungeon Siege 3 its gonna be developed by Obsidian, so........

2011.

Dragon Age 2
The Elder Scroll V: Skyrim
Probably Dungeon Siege 3
Diablo 3
Maybe Fallout 4
Maybe Mass Effect 3

To a minimal extent


Borderlands 2
S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2

Borderlands 2 and S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 are coming out this year? :drool:

Yeah. Dat Noo Vagus thing isn't creepie enuff and dosn't have enuff loot! I want to explor! Noo Vagus has too many wurds too reed.



Agree. From a role playing perspective, Fable 3 is just as broken as FO3. The background forced on you takes away moral ambiguity. Few choices offered to you actually make sense (Fable 2 was a much better role play game).

FONV wins.



You mean like the Oscars, the Pulizer Prize and the Heisman Trophy?

Yeah, lets just do away with awards and give everyone a "You're Special" ribbon. :rofl:

ME2 isnt really an RPG in my book. Not enough choices.

Anyway im glad F NV won, its one of those games i can play again and again and not get bored [unlike most others where after 5 miniutes i quit]

Maybe yes, Maybe not, but why wait for more??
