Which RPG will rule 2011?

My poll choices are the top 5 major RPG releases this year.

2011 will be very close, but Mass Effect 3 will get the edge due to the fact that its the concluding game of the main franchise. Skyrim will be its biggest challanger however. In fact, we might finally see a Bethesda vs Bioware battle for the top RPG of the year, as prior years, major Bioware releases, and major Bethesda releases were different years.

2011 will show the dominance of console WRPGs over console JRPGs this gen.

The other three contenders could rise if it nails all its fundamentals, and those games could also impact the genre.

Mass Effect 3.

Project Dark

I voted for Witcher because I don't wanna see ME3 win :P

Wiedzmin 2

:)

The Witcher 2 hopefully. :)

SW tor will have the same content as all those games mixed together so yeah it may be the biggest hit this year.

Pokemon Black.

Tactics Ogre: Let us cling together


I have a feeling I'll be pretty biased concerning Deus Ex 3, because it just looks so awesome, but Deus Ex3, The Witcher 2, and Tactics Ogre are my top 3 wanted rpgs.

I'm easily placing my bets on the Witcher 2 out of all of those. Bioware/Bethesda's previous records don't give me much reason to believe they'll beat CDProjekt this time round.

It's now their own engine, they've had time, they have budget.

And LOL at Oblivion or Fallout 3 being polished. One of the buggiest games I've played.

There is a reason why I cannot call FFVI Advance the best RPG of 2007. Its not fair to the new games. Tactics Ogre is awesome, but its plain and simple, a remake.

I hope Risen 2 comes out in 2011.

The Witcher 2 it's going to be superior to every RPG coming out this year by a large, large margin

It will be EXTREMLY close but I go with TESV:Skyrim. Regardless of who wins I will buy them all :P

of the 5 on your list.

3 i am definently getting and excited for

Dragon Age 2, Mass Effect 3, and Deus Ex : Human Revolution.

however i do think Mass Effect 3 and Deus Ex have a strong chance of winning the show.

I have a strange feeling that Deus Ex is gonna be a lot cooler then what we've seen, and that Eidos Montreal is purposely keeping things close to the vest.

Mass Effect 3 - if they build on their success from Mass Effet 2 that would be amazing. but for it to be truely phenomenal is the choices you made in Mass Effect 1 and 2, the big decisions, have real ramifications in the finale.

I bet Batman's BatcreditCart ME3 will rule.

Skyrim for the win!Stevo_the_gamer

i endorse this statement fully.

Unless a new Grandia appears out the butthole of nowhere.

Dragon Quest 6

From that list, Elder Scrolls 5.

Ehhh... tough choice, for me it's : Dragon Age 2 >= The Witcher 2 > Skyrim, don't really care about the other 2.

I have a feeling Dragon age 2 is going to flop big time

Pokemon Black.

Grawse

TESV Skyrim

I have a feeling Dragon age 2 is going to flop big time

I don't give a damn about the polish - and it's not like Bethesda is particularly good about getting that right. I care about writing, characterization and roleplaying. In those respects the Witcher was FAR better than anything Bethesda or Bioware have done within the past five years.

Ah yes, the insinuation that I'm a snob because I have a different opinion than you. Why am I not surprised that this is coming from a Bioware and Bethesda fan?

i will likely only play Skyrim and Mass Effect 3. i couldn't get with dragon age's turn based combat, so will only go for the second game if its leaps and bounds better than the first. Mass effect 3 will be making me the most excited. but i will spend a lot more time with skyrim, so my vote goes to skyrim, even though, most of my playtime with it will be in 2012.sts106mat

In terms of sales I believe Skryim will win out. Though I think The Witcher 2 will be faced with the highest critical acclaim.

Witcher 2 or Skyrim

My hopes of the best three are:

The Witcher 2 > Deus Ex: HR = Skyrim

Those three games are really gonna keep a big smile glued to my face for more then a few months, if all goes well, and the devs deliver :P

ME3 Im sort of neutral to, It looks to be good, but man those above three looks awesome.

DA2 I don't really care about alot, from what ive seen its just not my type of game (heck I did not even like the first DA)

Witcher 2 or skyrimlawlessx

The Witcher 2

From that list, The Witcher 2 by far with Skyrim in 2nd. If it comes out this year though, Diablo III will be king of all games.
