there's lots of other good ones under this thread but I'll add mass effect, specifically mass effect 2.

Anon baits people into recommending good RPGs
Intentionally lists RPGs not made in US
"Why doesn't my list have RPGs made in the US?!?"
ಠ_ಠ
Elder scrolls, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, and Mass Effect would all like a word
Aren't Bethesda games the most bought RPGs overall???
Fallout? And I mean the Black Isle fallouts.
Speaking of Black Isle, they also did Planescape and Icewind Dale.
Also: Bioware made Baldur's Gate 1 and 2; they're Canadian not European. Unless they just mean 3.
And of course, the OG RPG: D&D. Pretty sure Gygax was American.
Is Neverwinter nights American? That's a good one.
NWN1 was from Bioware, NWN2 from Obsidian. Both are from the USA, but NWN2 is nearly 20 years old by now.
I didn't know we were ignoring old games. It was just what came to mind, sorry.
I don't know what we are doing, but anon listed recent games ¯_(ツ)_/¯
(Although it irritates me to no end when people say "Baldurs Gate" while talking about BG3)
Bioware is from Canada, not the US.
dont limit just to black isle fallouts lol
3 new vegas and 4 are great and even 76 is good
4 is not even remotely great it is genuinely awful 3 is fine I won't insult 3 I enjoyed it not as much as nv I loved nv but I enjoyed it it was good even but 4 is an insult
wow really cause i played 4 and it was a great time because the game was great. you must have a very high standard. never played a single game under 90 score on metacritic (but that would mean new vegas is worse than 4)
As a big fan of fallout, imo, 4 is the weakest of series. Engine was outdated, repeated time wasting quests, boring world building, the base building was their new exciting feature but it fell kinda flat. Now with 1k+ mods game can actually be a lot fun though. Also 74 didn't exist.
Even 76? Todd get the fuck out of here, no one's taking the bait.
guess you've never played it recently, otherwise you'd never make this comment
Not even in the same league. Barely even RPGs. New Vegas is the best of them and it still pales in comparison.
didnt know it was contest of most rpg game and not just great game
Did you not even read the meme? It's about good RPGs.
yep i read that. its why i brought up those games. they are good rpgs. did you read the meme? they are not talking about the game with the most rpg elements
You can suck the New Vegas from my cold hard cock, fucker.
After 20 years you need to do something new. You can't live forverer on your legacy.
Swiss person here:
What's that supposed to mean?
Are you trying to say we aren't recognized as the supreme military power in Europe anymore?
Surely you're joking, right?!
What the fuck does this mean? I mean that no studio in America did anything good in decades. Baldur's gate 2 was 2003. What good rpg was there? Mass effect was good. 2 and 3 didn't deliver to legendary grade. Bioware is dead. Blizzard is dead. Bethesda did nothing since skyrim.
you can't live on your legacy forever
Was what i was playing on
The joke is that we Swiss have a glorious warrior-past that noone remembers anymore.
I was supporting your point with a joke. That's"the fuck" that it meant
Fallout, Wasteland, The Elder Scrolls.
Also smaller games come to my mind, like Child of Light or South Park: The Stick Of Truth which are made by Ubisoft Montreal.
Stick of truth was developed by Obsidian
You're right it was only published by Ubi. The Fractured but Whole was developed by Ubisoft*
Yeah, "western RPGs" from a couple decades ago were mostly made in the US. Then Bethesda bought interplay and it all went to shit.
And thanks for reminding me of Child of Light, I've had it in my library for ages, installing it to my steam deck right now :)
You're never gonna believe this friend, but Montreal is actually in Canada.
Still not Europe or Asia, innit?
Oh yes the three continents. Europe Asia and everywhere else.
Ah Canada famously not in the same continent as the United States. Absolutely not in the Americas
Never in my life have I seen someone say "Americans" and mean "People from the continent of America."
North America*. Besides that, people often group Canadians and Americans together quite often. The two countries are very similar culturally. I have seen it become more and more common to say North Americans when talking about things culturally. When it comes to politics or the specific country itself, of course it makes sense to separate them.
South American banger RPG when?
Well, it would be a bit unfair to talk about "European" games and "Asian" games, and on the other side "USA-made" games.
There are three countries in North America, we should at least include the two others.
Fun fact Canada is in North America
Canada, North America?
Fallout and TES are "alright" at most, and extremely boring theme parks at worst
Cool.
