@@illuz1oN44 Been watching his stuff for a few years now. I first came here for his knowledge on the ps vita. Many of the games I own were based on his recommendations. Even go back and rewatch some of his old videos in case I have some money laying around to throw at another vita game as some of the ones he was talking about in 2018 have skyrocketed in price. I watch many gamer youtube channels and no one that I've seen goes in-depth like he does. Lol remember his ultimate guide to vita and he says in how people ask him how is this the ultimate guide? So he responds with because I know my shit, I've played and beaten every game, and I've been with the vita since day one. Lol of course its paraphrased but I think I got it close enough but bottomline he is 100% he really does know his shit. Now he shows Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and makes me want to play it again. But I'm going to get it on the 360 since its BC on the xbox one and I'm sure I'll want to play it again sometime and will be able to on the Xbox series X.
@@mike1019831 I couldn't agree with you more. The Vita video compelled me to buy one with a list of must-own games just as the lock-downs started happening.
@@mike1019831 Erick Landon has a solid RPG focused channel and talks about anything and everything. These two are my absolute favorite youtubers to watch.
I just discovered his channel last week. No joke this guy has such a passion for his games and it shows with how knowledgeable he is about what he owns. Very underrated.
Best gaming content on RU-vid. I say it every video and you keep proving me right. I love the frequent videos and I truly believe that you will blow up if you keep them coming.
I have recently been collecting more games for the PS3, and playing them. This is an awesome video explaining a plethora of RPG’s for the PS3, and a perfect video for me!
Great video man! You have a passion in you when you speak about these games and it shows. You don't see that too often nowadays. I love Nier Automata. Never played the original. Heard great things and watching you talk about it makes me want to find a ps3 copy. Been getting back into my ps3 console lately. Miss the steller games that were released on it. I have a ps4 and recently got a ps5 and i absolutely love the new consoles, but there is still something so good about older games. They might not look as good as ps5 games but the stories and sheer amount of good games is worth returning too. You earned my sub!
Another great video 👍 I look forward to the second part! I have not seen anyone else have so much knowledge about videogames and speak with so much passion and love about them. Respect! You deserve a lot more subscribers, it's sad that people do not know how to value quality content.
So glad I found this channel, I still play my PS3 often and i have alot of the RPG's you mentioned. (some i still need to play) Played Nier and Tales of Symphonia this year and might start Dragon age soon. I will surely watch the 360 video too even though i dont own any xbox.
Love your videos. As an rpg collector myself, i too look at your videos as to what games to watch try out. Its sad to hear how Level 5 will be cease to be on the North American Front
Every video you make I'm so hyped on. Nothing makes me more excited than your vids because you have insane knowledge and really articulate what these games are about. Thank you man. Cheers
I have to put some love to my PS3. I bought it like a year before the PS4 was announced and got it that late mostly because I wanted the console experience and thought that I will be able to create this diverse library. Got some of the console's highlights but never got into the console experience, mostly because I was moving to college and stuck to my ds and pc. Now that I have had the chance to catch up on my PS3 backlog, I do want to enjoy the system more and there are some games I have digital only there. Thanks for making this video, as a longtime subscriber is very helpful and have to say that I appreciate you coming from time to time to the channel as you are the only person I trust with game reviews. No bs, just talking about what you like and why
Somehow I forgot it, I had it in my stack of games..realized when I was rendering it...shit!! Oh well, I’ll talk about it in the upcoming PS4 RPG video
@@GamezOfWarlol. All good I was surprised how good the first game was. Need to play 2 and 4. Anyways love your videos hope you are in a better space and hope your next game is a good one 👊👊
can't speak to "rpgs" on the whole since i am almost exclusively a "jrpg" fan... but this was the era where i feel like the quality of console jrpg's REALLY began to slide compared to everything that came before it. the genre really has not recoverd since then with fewer and fewer notable jrpg's getting released as time goes on. on the ps3, i only really cared for ni no kuni and the final fantasy xiii series (to some degree). i can only count a handful of jrpg's on the ps4 that i would consider "must plays" -- persona 5, dragon quest xi, nier automata and... maybe ni no kuni 2? i mean, big budget console jrpg's are almost dead now with a few exceptions. on the snes and ps1/2, the library is mind boggling by comparison and this truly was the golden age that we took for granted. a lot of great jrpg's also found their way onto handhelds, especially the ds and psp. not saying the genre is dead now, but it is a shadow of what it once was and i generally find it difficult to get excited about modern jrpg's like i used to. p.s. compared to final fantasy xv, final fantasy xiii is a godsend lol... couldn't stand xv and i am very close to being done with the ip at this point. we'll see how xvi fares, but it looks like more of the same mindless action rubbish that s-e is known for now.
I completely agree with you that JRPGs went into decline in the PS3/360 era, and I do agree that SNES/PS1/PS2 eras were the golden years of the genre. However, I personally think we've seen a significant revival of JRPGs in recent times. DQ11, Tales of Berseria, Persona 5, Octopath Traveller, Xenoblade 2, Xenoblade DE, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, Trails of Cold Steel 1 - 3, Ys VIII, Trials of Mana - these are all killer titles in my book. Then we have more on the way: Tales of Arise, Bravely Default II, SMT5, Eiyuden Chronicles, Sea of Stars, Scarlet Nexus, Trails of Cold Steel 4. We're not quite basking in the revels of the glory days again, but I think we're making pretty decent strides in the right direction? P.S. I don't understand how anyone could prefer FF XIII to XV. XV was by no means perfect, but I personally thought it was infinitely better than XIII. XIII trilogy was abysmal in my humblest of opinions, but hey: different strokes for different folks and all that.
I didn't even play XIII and XV speaking of Final Fntasy, but I'm definitely going to give a try to XIII after watching this video. As for XV, I really don't find interesting and I will never play it I guess. And now we're waiting for FF XVI.. even if Square Enix has recently been not that reliable I really have high hopes for it: The producer will be Yoshida, who also worked on XIV and made it the incredible MMO it is today, literally saving that game from the ruin the original team brought it to. To this day it is probably the only MMO to even hope to compete with World of Warcraft, it really is a huge deal!
@@andyk9735 ffxiii had a great battle system. even if we accept that the story was far from great, it had its moments. for me, the battle system is the most important aspect of a jrpg and can make or break a game. the intensity of the active battle system and paradigm shifting made ffxiii a lot of fun to play! compare that battle system to the sluggish mess from ffxv and there is no contest. i also could not get over the medicocre storytelling and boyband focus of ffxv. it was quite an embarassment in my opinion. the world was too large and empty as well... really had no business being an open world game. so yea, at the end of the day, ffxiii is worth playing for its battle system alone in my humble opinion. i did not play the xiii sequels but intend to get around to it one day :D
@@RayWearer yup. the only saving grace of ff xvi is that the team is completely different than xv. nomura is nowhere to be found (a good thing) and the game will get back to the medievil setting. i like that aspect. what i don't like is the action battle system rearing its ugly head yet again but i will give it a chance. i believe they hired the battle director from devil may cry so it could very well be badass and surprise us all.
I'm a die-hard final fantasy fan and your thoughts on the 13 series are the same point of view I have. I was a little thrown off at first but after getting into it I really fell in love with all three, and I think I did enjoy 13-2 a little bit better. All great games!!
Awesome list of games! My favorite that you mentioned is the Dragon Age Series! Such an amazing series and I can't wait to play the 4th one! Some of my favorites on the console were Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas, Mass Effect 2 (come on Bioware we know you're releasing the trilogy on PS4 just get it out already lol)! I still need to play Nier! The backlog is real! Great video and keep up the good work!
Hey bud , loving seeing you back , I’m kicking on with kingdom of amalur re reckoning edition.., loved your dark souls intro explanation...man I love those games 👍👌🇦🇺
Gamez Of War so far so good...I have just started and I love it , graphics are not super great as per some more recent remasters however the game play and story are as good as ever 👍
I absolutely loved this video. I watch a lot of videos regarding people's favorite games from older systems because I either missed the era or wanted to catch some hidden gems and none of them were as in depth or had the kind of list you had. You listed a lot of cool games that I never played. I plan to pick up a few from your list here and I'm excited. Great stuff!
Wow. The video is very interesting. I like that you are telling so many stories about every game in this video. This is very cool. Thank you for your work.
Mass Effect 2 is amazing on the PS3 because it's a completely unique looking version. It's got it's own unique to PS3 lighting that the PC or 360 don't have, unless you mod it on PC of couse, but yeah.... ME2 on PS3 should be on this list. It got it's own version of ME2, that alone makes it's a must play.
@@GamezOfWar It looks visually unique. It's more harshly lit than the PC/460 version and it's using ME3's shadders. It's a pretty interesting little game. Performance is kinda meh, but that's the case with most Unreal Engine games on the PS3.
Kingdoms of Amalur is awesome, definitely the best of its era! They've just released a remake for the PS4, but it's gone under the radar. It seems this game just never gets the attention it deserves. Kudos to you, though, for giving it a positive review here!
Great, long and in-depth RPG video Josh... enjoyed it. I have most of these titles but a few I still need to play like Resonance of Fate and Nier (played Automata though). Currently playing through Folklore which has a great atmosphere and aesthetic.
I like FF13 and its characters like Lightning, Snow, Hope... Every character has their own fears, pain and hopes.. and when they face their worst moment and are hopeless then they face Eidolon..
I thought FFXIII was ok and XIII-2 was better and 2 has a great sound track but with the FFXIII Series it's really worth playing though for Lightning Returns as it's the best of the 3 and makes the series really worth while. Graces is one of my fav Tales of games. Playing them at first as kids made me have more of a connection to the characters. I personally think Resonance of Fate is a bit overrated as it has next to no story The world is very pretty and so it's such a shame they didn't bother with the writing. The first Nier was better than the one on PS4, hopefully the remaster will reach more hands when it comes out.
Hey bro was curious if you had any ps2 videos on the horizon...i had one way back when it first came out and like an idiot I gave it away but am starting to get back in to it.
I'm really trying to find a game that is like a type of rpg and at the start of the game a dragon comes of a and ur character goes and try to fight it but the dragons open his chest and eats his powerfully heart and then there's a mission u got to do that u have to hunt a lion with 3 heads and a tail of a hawk and wings that's all I remember can somebody pls tell me the name of that game from ps3 it was one of my favorite game
does anyone know the game, i cant remember what platform, or what the name is, but i think it was an rpg but in modern times, and you had to fight monsters, and you could be a voodoo guy, a priest, and asian kinda thing, and something else. one of the cinimatic trailers shows the 4 of them standing infront of a monster that comes out of the subway station after throwing a subway at them. if anyone knows the name please let me knoe, its driving me nuts. UI think it may have been ps3, but maybe it was ps2 or ps4, and now tha ti think of it, could be xbox too..
last rebellion is one of the worst RPG's i played (not the worst but pretty close) when it came to NIS games on PS3 i did like ar tonelico 3 for what it is but i do understand why people did not like it since its super weird and i also love the first game on PS2 way better so its not an amazing game but it has its moments but ar nosurge was a great improvement imo. folklore was really good but i never finished it but hopefully soon. just noticed you used root letter music in a part of the video thats great
It is sad that i have every single game you mention and more (2500 and 28 systems) and yet I've yet to play any of them. It is a problem when you have the money but no time. Im 40 with a 6 year old dauhther... Unlike when younger got all the time but no money. She will take over all my collection but my guess is she might sell it all lol.
I honestly did not enjoy ff 13. I thought the paradigm shifting and shuffling back and forth throughout the battles was just so messy and tacky. It kinda confused my eyes looking at every thing move back and forth nonstop. I felt like it was hard to get a clear focus on what the hell was going on in the fight. The only post turn based ff games I liked were FF 12. I feel like FF needs to return to turn based to really win me over. The action rpg genre is cool but I just don't think it suits a game like FF. It suits a game like Fable not FF i.m.o.
Oh no, no, no. Don't tell people to start the FF series with FF13. That's just cruel. The PS3 was just okay for RPGs. It's biggest saving graces were the Souls games. Compared to the PS1 and PS2, its library was inferior.
really appreciate your chill style man. when so many others just shill for every latest game, you are talking about old school gems you really care about.
Good to see you back. I loved ff13. I beat 13-2 i still need to play lightning returns. Demon souls / dark souls is one of my favorite series ever. Im playing 3 still. Demons souls remake is why i will get a ps5.. so many great games to comment on here. I cant wait for the 360 video. Blue dragon and lost odyssey my favorite rpgs last gen.
