LOL, you're right I confused it with some other site no doubt. But even if they had one I guess it'd only contain guildwars.... and that's a very thin line to MMORPG.
Single player RPG of the year hmm hmm ehh, fable lost chapters? I hated that game... but it's the only RPG I can think of to come out on PC this year. |

Dragonquest at least is a really good RPG, if a bit old school. |

Yes the future looks good for single player RPGS, but about these games:
Dark Messiah of Might & Magic -- I've lost faith in this series.
Heroes of Might & Magic 5 -- I don't think it'll be nearly as good as 2 or 3
Neverwinter Nights 2 -- This game is only fun in multiplayer. |

No? I had fun with Shadows of Undrentide, enjoying the writing in particular. And Hordes of the Underdark has the strongest final act of any RPG since, well, you know. It even redeemed Aribeth as a character. Why so glum, chum?
(NWN2 may still suck. I sure hope Avellone doesn't give us yet another rehash of his 'antihero atones for his past and heals his spiritual wound, with gaggle of tormented freaks in tow' plot.) |

I hate it when people keep saying this. Every year, it's always the same. Disappointing year? Jeeeeeez...don't you guys say that EVERY year???
Dungeon Siege 2, Sacred Underworld, Fate, Gothic 2 Gold, Freedom force 2 (Kinda RTS, but still RPG)
I played all of the above, and they were great games. Exactly what do you guys want anyway? I never met a bigger bunch of negative nancys in my life. |

Gothic 2 gold, great... but most of us already played it with the patch created from member of this fourm and it can't be said to be exactly "new"
The other games you mention are more or less hack-and-slash which can hardly be called RPGs in my book. As for freedom force 2 just like you said it's more like a RTS.
As for complaning... I didn't hear many people complaning 2003  |

I've only said it once. You know, you put forward a lot of collectivist opinions. You lump people together and make sweeping statements about them: you guys say the same thing every year, almost all people who prefer online gaming are just playing to get an ego boost, I know how the industry thinks, and so on. Treating people as individuals would bring a measure of balance to your posts as well as increase their accuracy. Give it a shot. |

You cant really take these idiots serious the ratings for the games they give is completly laughable the mentality of these americans i tell you.
Games given perfect scores to alot of games wich are generic and dont even deserve a score that high one of my favorite examples is serious sam one of the morons on there (overweight of course) gives it a 9.5 and also Halo (saying its one of the best fps)
If you look closely it seems they love games where you dont use you're brain and just follow a straight forward path and kill kill kill thats american mentality for you 
Only review and rating i trust is my own |

Now there's an overgeneralization if I ever read one.  That is the mentality of a LOT of people all over the world, hence the high sales numbers for many FPS games.
