Have yet to play Dragon Age but I enjoyed Oblivion more than Demons Souls. Just on a personal preference level. Demon's Souls is really awesome though.

Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain looks like one of the best this generation.

Not a huge fan of Oblivion.

Demons Souls was fantastic.

Hardly even played Dragon Age (5 minutes of my friends game).

So Demons Souls.

Dragon Age is such a mediocre game, out of that list i've got to say Oblivion seeing as i have yet to play Demon Souls. don't know why you said it was made from a japanese studio and still put it down.

The Witcher. Haven't played enough of Dragon Age to honestly rate it. I can say i was totally wrong about it looking lame as hell, because so far it's really really good, aside from the cliches.

It beats having Demon's Soul, which is automatically disqualified because it's a JRPG with western themes. A game with anime influences developed by a western company would be a WRPG. From the list, I wouldn't comment on Dragon Age yet, my computer is down and I'm waiting until the holidays to play the game. So far, the Witcher and Neverwinter Nights 2 gets the nod.

Do not care for Oblivion, not for one single bit. Just finished Demon's Souls, fantastic. Just started up Dragon Age: Origins, also pretty damn good. For now I'll say Demon's Souls, just because I finished it.

No Witcher? Poll = epic fail. Also, why is Neverwinter Nights 2 not up there? That game is better than all three of those others up there. And one of them isn't even a WRPG!

Out of the poll options Dragon Age without a doubt. Including everything it's a toss up between The Witcher and Dragon Age, but since I haven't finished DA I can't give an answer yet. Both are fantastic in different ways.

I haven't played Demon's Souls or Dragon Age... but Oblivion with Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul and the Shivering Isles expansion is quite fantastic.

Thats flawed logic. Thats just like if someone were to make a western movie in texas, and they were from india, then you are basically saying that it would be an indian western movie, which would not be the case.

I wouldn't have voted for it, but it's *obviously* something that should be on this list. Right now The Witcher gets my vote :p Kind of sad, since I consider it a good rather than great RPG. Oh, and there's no Witcher on that list either :p PS - Mass Effect RPG of the gen!!!

But Westerns are tied to a setting and a style.. Western RPGs can be sci-fi of any sort, a variety of fantasy types... WRPG, to my mind, pretty much means "an RPG made in the west." It's usually associated with a style, but that doesn't seem the hard and fast rule. Westerns, on the other hand, are set in the wild west of North America, tied to a particular period - not to where it's made.

Besides, "JRPG" is the term WRPG is opposed to, and that's "Japense RPG" - obviously meant to be tied to Japan. Why wouldn't western RPGs be similarly tied to the west?

No NWN2 or Witcher is just ridiculous. No Drakensang either. WRPG doesn't necessarily mean its made in the US, any more than JRPG mean its automatically Japan. Its a style, not a place. I mean, Drakensang and Risen are from Germany, thats fairly east to me. We gonna call it a EURPG even though it fits the WRPG format? Though I have no recollection of any US made jrpg style games though. I'm sure there are a few Korean ones that would fit, though they'd shank you for associating you with the Japanese.

I haven't played Dragon Age yet, but from the looks of it, it doesn't really compare the other two. I chose Oblivion. I own both Oblivion and Demon's Souls. I'll be purchasing Dragon Age next friday most likely.

Demon's Souls and Dragon Age both look great, but I haven't played either of them. I have Oblivion, GOTY Edition with the expansion packs, and I never go into it. I played a couple hours and just packed it away, it didn't draw me in like I thought it would.

Don't you understand that the genre of a game is not effect at all by where a game is actually developed?

Lame post, you put Oblivion which is hardly a RPG, same with Demon's Souls, yet you neglected The Witcher...Anyway, even though I didn't play Dragon Age, my vote goes to The Witcher and I'm very doubtful if Dragon Age could even match it, let alone surpass it.

You screwed up big time in the poll. Have you ever heard of The Witcher?


I guarantee you, most people who played it would choose The Witcher.

DA:O is on the same level as the Witcher IMO, but in a different way...

A WRPG poll without The Witcher is not a poll. Though if I had to pick, Dragon Age would take it for me.

Didn't like Oblivion, so that's out.

I've only played a small bit of Demon's Souls and Dragon Age: Origins, but so far I'll give the advantage to DA:O. The fighting system is more to my liking. I really can't make a true decision until I play through both though.
