- Nov 18, 2012 11:16 am GMTFor action rpg, it's ME3 easily for me. It's one of the very few where if you plucked out the combat and put it into a pure action game, it wouldn't get voted as one of the worst action games to ever be made. Most action RPGs have flat out terrible combat that makes decades old titles like Streets of Rage seem godly. @Maroxad, most of what you listed is barebones run of the mill every RPG and their mom has this features, whether it be a JRPG or WRPG. Status effects are like the hallmark of a RPG.

Officially Married to Archvile78 since 12/24/11, may our happiness and love last.

hmm from what I've played...Demon's/Dark Souls or Graces f. Maybe Dragon Dogma. I haven't played Mount&Blade sadly. :(

Is there really any question?
Tales of Graces f.
Go home everyone.
And on a side note.. Skyrim? XD Bah. I would never even consider that glitchy-ass game. Bethesda really needs to work on making their games more polished and professional.
