If so, get Disgaea 3. Story line, in this game (I loved the first Disgaea), I can do without, but it has a decent brand of humor to it. There's a lot of craziness going on in the game, with the 9999 level cap, geocubes, team attacks and all. If you've enjoyed games like Final Fantasy Tactics, or even Fire Emblem to an extent, you should like Disgaea. I just got a PS3 myself, so I've only played a few games, but a must have is definitely Valkyria Chronicles. Seriously, the game is great, and you can get it new for $20. | ||

-Tales of Vesperia A very fun game, I played it on the Xbox360, but apparently the PS3 version is adding a whole bunch of new stuff, I'm jealous. -Valkyria Chronicles Everyone I've talked to who has played it has loved it. The only complaint I've heard is that the story is cheesy...but hey, it's a Japanese RPG, the stories are always cheesy. Some other titles I've heard good things about: Demon Souls Disgaea 3 | ||

On PS2 games, three games I would recommend are Tales of the Abyss, Suikoden V, and Star Ocean: Till the End of Time. SMT (Shin Megami Tensei) games are pretty good, but I find them rather grind-heavy. Didn't stop me from spending dozens of hours on Persona 4 though. As others have cited, many well known PS3 games are better and can be modded on the PC. Excellent PS3 exclusives are limited. I'm looking forward to playing Tales of Vesperia, but currently only a Japanese one is out for the PS3, and I'm not hardcore enough to pay for imports. FFXIII also looks very nice but the English one is due for March next year. | ||

I guess Fallout 3 is a must, but I don't know what it's like on PS3 | ||

PS2 is a whole different story, and it has a huge game library including many RPGs of course. Rather than just name games I'll describe some characteristics of each in case you have some preference as to the type of RPG you want to play. Looking for:

Valkyria Chronicles and Demon Souls are the top ones right now from what I hear. RPGs this gen have been sparse and few have been very impressive. It's been all about shooters and cover systems. I'm playing through Dragon Age right now and it's alright.However, I find it hard to give a shit about any of the characters let a lone my own (considering all I am is just a puppet who says the lines the game presents me with). Waiting on FFXIII, hoping to be blown away. I recommend The Witcher if you have a good PC though. | ||

Dark Cloud - Level 5 Dark Chronicle - Level 5 Dragon Quest VIII - Level 5 (Really an enjoyable experience.. the art is quite different from most RPGs but somehow I made myself play this when I couldn't stomach Wind Waker - I enjoyed it) Rogue Galaxy - Level 5 Monster Hunter - Capcom Shadow Hearts/Covenant - Sacnoth Deus Ex - Ion Storm (One of the best games of all time, albeit I played on the PC) Kingdom Hearts/KH2 - Square (Really fun - probably horribly dated and hard to play these days) FFX/FFX-2 - Square (FFX is actually a great game, but you have to stomach a constant nausea for the dialogue between the women main characters as the series goes along) Suikoden III/IV/V - Konami (Quite good, Suikoden is a series you really need to play.. not certain which I would pick, though.) Xenosaga/II - Monolith (Entertaining scenes - too many, too long.. eventually bored and quit) Arc the Lad - Cattle Call Disgaea - Nippon Ichi (Can't stand the art style and system in this game.. its a love/hate thing) La Pucelle - Nippon Ichi Phantom Brave - Nippon Ichi Shin Megami Tensei (I-IV) - Atlus (I played the latest one and some of three, I imagine if I had played these when they came out I'd have enjoyed them a lot more. They're cute and different.. I'd recommend giving one of these a shot at least... get 4). Star Ocean: Till the End of Time - Tri Ace (Fun games when cliched stories and endless characters, sometimes hard to dive into but always a strong series) Radiata Stories - Tri Ace ****************************** Most of the RPGs I enjoyed were on the PS1 and SNES to be honest. I didn't play too many that I loved on the PS2. If you are interested - FF4,5,6,7,9,Tactics Lunar,Silver Star Story, 2, Eternal Blue Suikoden II Chrono Trigger, Cross (If you haven't played Chrono Trigger.. kill yourself) Grandia, II Lufia, II Illusion of Gaia Legend of Dragoon LTTP Star Ocean, II Xenogears Breathe of Fire, II, III Secret of Mana Lost Vikings Other consoles: Shining Force Series (Probably my favorite games, or close to it) Fire Emblems Skies of Arcadia Pokemons (yes, lol good rpgs) Zeldas Marios Blizzard Games | ||

Demon Souls (Holy shit, it has a good learning curve but once you get into it its awesome) Valkyria Chronicles (Fun chess-like turn-based battles) Eternal Sonata (Maybe) Enchanted Arms (Ehh) Near Future Releases: FF13 (Maybe) White Knight Chronicles (Online fun) Tales of Vesperia Personally I would rather get Fallout 3 and Dragon Age for PC instead. | ||

The PS3 that I got for Christmas is currently still in the mail and should arrive in 2 days, so I was going to go out and purchase some games before it arrives. Thanks everyone for all the suggestions! The last real console I owned was an SNES and I loved Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 3. My computer doesn't have the specs to run modern RPGS really well like fallout3, so I'm anxious to try some new RPGs out on the PS3. Assuming you didn't get the original 60 gig PS3 -- no, you cannot play any PS2 games on your PS3. | ||

If you're interested in PS2 titles you might want to look into PS2 emulation, which is fairly mature right now. If your PC can run games like Fallout 3 or Dragon Age well, it can probably run many PS2 games. | ||

It's the perfect cross genre game and you should definitely get this game, doesn't matter if you played Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes, or Metal Gear: Naked Snake. | ||

Demon's Souls is sort of like Oblivion, but with a huge learning curve. You will likely die many many times before you finally get the game, but it's worth it in the end. For the PS2, I recommend Okami, Persona 3 and Persona 4. | ||

It's a terrible game and the mutilation of a beloved franchise. Fallout 1 & 2 forever. Bethesda can go to hell with their horrible cookie cutter, no personality RPGs. All they do is scatter a bunch of crappy items around, come up with a mediocre first person graphics engine and shovel bland, uninteresting settings onto a map. Then they hire some hobo off the street to write their crappy dialogues that only branch 2 ways. | ||
