Good singleplayer RPGs?

[HappyTauren]

Yeah, direct me to some, I have been disappointed by most of those bnetable ones.

 

[MasterHaosis]

I am also disapointed, but I like Julien and tides of blood

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Try to find: Hero RPG.

Actually this is the only most high-quality single player rpg i know of. If you alreayd played it then.. zargh..

Btw, here you can haz the link to download it.

 

[HappyTauren]

Played it, but its not finished. I am not looking for some campaign overburdened with imports or something where each spell is jassed. I want something FUN, like When the freedom slips away.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

Wait for War3WoW

 

[HappyTauren]

hahaha that was sooo funny XD
...you were sarcastic right?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

When the freedom slips away is good. There is also some ok/good ones over at Maps n Mods.

 

[busterkomo]

I think there was one, Rise of Angerthas or something, it's popular, and single player, apparently.

 

[Chaos Overlord]

Lol why wait for WC3WoW? Thats going to be a long time... if you like WTFSA, have you heard about its sequel? Its called This Wreckage, there was a headline about it at WC3 and its at our clan webpage. If you already know about that... well thats all I have.

 

[Gilles]

Try The Companions. Or something like that. It has 5 or so chapters an was fun. The Mystery of Friza is a well made game, could use a few touch ups, but it's worth playing.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

...you were sarcastic right?

There are almost no good singleplayer rpg's...

 

[Eleandor]

I liked this one although it's more like a campaign. Then again, "RPG" maps usually contain less roleplay elements than a good campaign.

 

[Mechmap]

TTBE is a really good RPG, except for WtFSA i think it's the only good I've ever played.

That's the one I meant by the companions. I forgot the name.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I am also searching for some good RPGs but couldn;t find.
I think the best to play are:
When Freedom Slips Away
Mystery Of Friza
Hero RPG
If I find something else I will post it here.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I think if i mean 'RPG' i would see 'When the freedom slips away' more as a first chapter of an campaign rather then a whole RPG... look at hero RPG.. it is much bigger than WtFSA.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

You're all forgetting the really good ones.

Season of Uncertainty: the Dark Pheonix
The Devil Made Me Do It
The Legend of Magnador

Oh, wait, of course, none of you were even born when those were made.

The legend of Magnador was awesome. I haven't heard about the others.

I resent that.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I think i played The legend of Magnador and .. well .. from the preview i'd expected much more than it actually was..

 

[SeaGull1723]

There were some good RPGs back then, but I don't remember any of them.

 

[Oziris]

I have played the legend of Magnador and i am all most done with the map it has a good story its more like Final Fantasy!

 

[The_wand_mirror]

You're all forgetting the really good ones.

Season of Uncertainty: the Dark Pheonix
The Devil Made Me Do It
The Legend of Magnador

I don't like any of them.. very bad terrains in some of them -.-

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

There is more to a singleplayer RPG than terrain.

While the Dark Phoenix may be a bit scrappy by today's standards, I still count it among one of the all-time greatest Warcraft maps.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I think a nice terrain is just inviting you to play. if it sucks you get an opinion like 'Wow how ugly that must be bad' and you dont play it. With the phoenix thing i only watched the begin cinematic and then walked around a bit and then was so terrified by the terrain i immediately stopped playing it lol xD

 

[HappyTauren]

Most of great maps have bad terrain. Its just mapmaker's decision if he is going to focus on terrain, what is importaint is conceptual design of terrain, which is a thing many people forget and do just randomly. WTFsa is an example of great conceptual design, every 32X32 square of terrain is used, even fewer times.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

A RPG needs great terrain IMO.
An AoS does not have to pay attention to terrain.For example look at DotA.Bad terrain still great map,the terrain serves well though if you can see the position the trees are put is great.

 

[Bob27]

Terrain does not make a good map in my opinion. Terrain is just an extra. It can't make an RPG fun, just make it look better. So you don't need good terrain to make a good RPG.

Whoa. DotA has good terrain! Have you ever looked at it? It beats most AoS terrains.

 

[UchihaSasuke.gr]

I play DOtA a lot.It doesn't have nice terrain IMO.

3 types of terrain...

1. Chaos: Chaotic noob terrain with everything not fitting in the theme (Or just bad terrain)
2. War3: Warcraft 3 styled terrain. It doesnt look that well in 3d but from above it is good.
3. Import: Totaly imported and made like if it was somekind of low budget game. (With that i mean that its good/very good terrain for war3)

Terrain does not make a good map in my opinion. Terrain is just an extra. It can't make an RPG fun, just make it look better. So you don't need good terrain to make a good RPG.

Well.. I think it does.. really ugly terrain just totaly takes away the gameplay for me and drains all my will to play the map.
Oh yeah its called 'Eyecandy'

 

[HappyTauren]

Played Magnador, completed it in 7 hours but it was awesome!
Played phoenix, didnt finish it
played Devil Made Me Do It, didnt finish it.
And magnador had awesome terrain if you ask me, positioning of doodads, theme and everything.

 

[Moontraveler]

Devil Made Me Do It is a great one in my opinion but I never got to finishing it. (Due to the difficulty of the base defence mission. (Note: I've played it about 6 months ago)

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Ho yes, I almost forgot: Return of the Vampyres.

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Play Blizzard campaign with hard difficulty! It took couple of weeks to complete and it gave some some challenge, at least in TFT side.

 

[SantaBla]

Try Birth of Shadows. You can download it in the campaigns section of this site.
It plays a lot like Rexxar's RPG. It also contains voice acting and music from Chrono Trigger. You should definitely play it.

 

[The_wand_mirror]

I dont like any of the rpg's you just mentioned. im trying the 'Birth of Shadows' thingy..
