And a lot more class ic RPGs are in this list.

I'm running out of excuses not to play this...

Just don't go in expecting great combat mechanics. What makes the game special, I think, is the fascinating world, the cool story, the incredible writing + dialogues (which there is a lot of) and the phenomenal music.
Not the combat is bad or anything. It's pretty much the same as the baldur's gate and icewind dale series.

Obsidian has 4/7 games they made in that list and if you count black isle games in that list, their total comes to 7. That's pretty impressive track record imo!

Well deserved place for PS:T.

Been wanting to replay this.. but me cd's is unreadable.

damn you physical data storage!!

Hm, Torchlight 2 only on 26? And Gothic 2 at 22?
Well, something can`t be right with those guys! Torchlight 2 deserved a way better place in the list and the Gothic games don`t deserve to even be in this list!

Relax. Calm down..

Theres 100s of this type of lists on the web and all of em caters to the poster.

If you made a list it would differs from me and and most of the guys here as well.

*throws a blue bunny*

Since when is Torchlight an RPG? :P

I thought System Shock was a shooter.....

Yeah and Diablo 3. This list has too many different genres mixed for it to be meaningful at all.

Another bad slideshow article from PC Gamer.

It is. :P

Shit man, is Need For Speed on the list!? XD

Good, I was kicking myself for never getting it if it was an RPG....

*Looks for Knights of the Old Republic 2*

*Finds it*

*Is pleased*

Frankly I can enjoy browsing through any highly subjective gaming list that isn't filled to bursting with big budget AAA releases from the past few years. That should never be the case unless the list happens to be called 'the x best big budget AAA releases from the past few years.'

Is it wrong that I own 30 of those 31 games (Undertale being the only one missing)?

Well, after getting through all the adverts. Torchlight 2 and Diablo 2 are action rpg games. Diablo 3 is also crap, not just the auction house, online requirement, but it just isn't a very good game either (disclaimer - haven't played it that much).
Then there is nwn2, its ok, but the main campaign is quite poor. Also, I found the engine very annoying, the whole cli,k on door load for 5 minutes. Got very annoying. Skyrim, that must have been a stuffed brown paper bag, story is weak, even compared to other es games. Like oblivion, it relies heavily on the community to make the game.
Still, a fair few on there I agree with, and dark souls which i think is a good shout for worst game ever at least on pc.
