For those who haven't seen, I have a NEW RPG tier list boasting every major RPG from 2000 to 2009! -- ua-cam.com/video/jNpw39aTlGU/v-deo.html
i missed the old republic realy realy in my opinion good fully voiced star wars mmorpg
wait wheres fallout 3, in mo opinion the best rpg ever.
Where's Dragon Age Origins? The original Deus Ex? Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines? Also comparing Borderlands, Dark Souls and Diablo to actual rpgs is just plain silly.
Where is Pathfinder kingmaker ?
Lord Matty, is there any good top favourite for feel good gameplay or wholesome story turn base or indie games? ( Too much games felt like more work after work or too stressful made me more empty inside) thank you for your attention
this list made me realize how broad the term RPG is nowadays. Slap a leveling system on a game and you're considered a full blown roleplaying game.
Yep, have a full conversation dedicated to this on CLS
right? hack and slash with some leveling and you're a rpg. oops.
Funny most of these aren't even RPG's.
@@MrMattyPlays cls?
Next thing you know TLOU2 will be included as an RPG becaus you can upgrade weapons unlock "skill trees" by finding books and craft materials
Entire video: *persona 5 music*
Matt: “oops, I forgot Persona 5”
And persona 4 golden
I thought I was hearing things at first.
@@maurogoro3736 P4G is on there....
Mike Dunlap I’m blind
@Dan Evans Nocturne was made in 2003 while this list only includes games made from 2010 and beyond...
The term "Role-Playing Games" is so broad that you could literally snap on any sub-genre, and it would be an RPG
I actually like Dragon Age: Inquisition. Waaaay more than Odyssey.
Odyssey can be higher than F only for those who never played original AC trilogy.
Agreed , it should be at least in B Tier, or even maybe A. It's not perfect but it's fun. Much better than Odissey
I loved it
I love inquisition, one of my fav games as i actually cried when it was over but i do cry easily
Same
I like Matty because he's a Bethesda fan without being a shill, and he's a Bethesda critic without being overtly salty.
>he's a Bethesda critic without being overtly salty.
100% this
I wish I could be Bethesda critic without being overly salty😔
Like... A normal person?
@A A. I have been around since the pre Fallout 4 Matty. Would I have called him a shill, no. The thing is Bethesda made a turn and became far more money hungry than they used to be and I think Matty realized that. Bethesda is like a coin flip man. You may get Dishonered 1 and 2 and even Prey or DOOM. Then you get shit like Fallout fucking 76 what a joke of a game or Wolfenstein Youngblood, Brink, Rage 1 etc....
Wasnt he a fanboy for Fallout 4 tho
Should be "Since November 3rd 2009" so we can slap Dragon Age: Origins on that S tier row boi
Awakening was 2010.
I considered bending the rules... I won’t lie...
should have its own s+ tier
For me dao is an. B tear
It did nothing new, and what it does is very simplistic. POS story as well.
So glad to see you’re still going my man. I remember watching you’re daily updates on speculations of fallout 4 back in like 2012 when I picked up new Vegas for the first time. Hope all is good
To me an RPG is a game that allows you the freedom to complete a mission in a zillion different ways based on the character you're trying to build. For instance, Kingdom Come Deliverance is a perfect example. You can go through the game by avoiding combat except one checkpoint
Yeah, KCD is amazing
I hated Kingdom Come lol such a snoozefest of a game
@@d1sk-cord531 yeah fair enough. It's not a game for everyone
@@aks19880 i would've loved it to death if it wasn't for the fact that there aren't nearly enough enemies for the larger scale battles.
@@aztekenen1 it´s because even a NASA pc would explode, the game is really good but has terrible optimization.
I think Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen is a very underrated rpg game. I loved it even though I'm not into jrpgs.
Tbh it's not really a jrpg
@@LucaDavoli_ I can understand why he sees it as one. Normal western RPG's don't usually have party members and party combat. Doing quests to get other followers and such is pretty typical for JRPGs. But this must be one of the most western style JRPG that I know off and it is truly underrated.
@@Devonaxx Dragon Age, Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Divinity Original Sin, Pillars of Eternity, Tyranny, Icewind Dale, Solastra, etc etc. There's a shit ton of party-based Western RPGs.
@@LucaDavoli_ and now go on google and look up party based EASTERN rpgs... and then compare.
You name like 8-9 titles and call it a shit ton. The fact remains that party based rpgs is more common in jrpg then western. I never said that western rpgs dont have it. All I did was to say that I understood why he thought it was a jrpg. I never said that I believe its an jrpg. So I don't know why you are defending western party based rpgs so much? are you a dungeon master with the book and all?
@@Devonaxx You said "Normal western RPG's don't usually have party members and party combat", which is a false statement. Just because party-based RPGs are much more abundant in JRPGs, doesn't mean western RPGs don't usually have them as well. The whole party-based system was literally derived from Dungeons and Dragons, a western board game. And pretty much every western RPG we know today was inspired by DnD in some capacity.
Matty: Intially puts Witcher 3 into A tier
Me: How dare you
Matty: Moves to S tier
Me: Matty you sexy beast
To be fair TW3 is S(S++) tier as a game but not as RPG. As an RPG i'd put it in B tier, but since any game with progression mechanic is in this list this video sadly goes to my "YOU DON"T EXIST TIER"
@@rhythmmandal3377 explain why it's not a good RPG. You roleplay as Geralt.
@@thebl00dybaron because you're locked as a preset character
@@thebl00dybaron Do I srsly have to explain something that is so obvious. OK First explain to me why AC Unity is not a good RPG. You role play as Arno don't you same as geralt.
@@rhythmmandal3377 You can still make impactful choices as Geralt, with consequence, molding a unique experience. Plus you build your character with skills etc. That all combined makes it a proper RPG. Its not that hard to understand.
I gotta say, DA:2 gets an unfair reputation. Yes it's massively flawed but it's got some great side quests, interesting characters, it totally breaks from the cookie cutter fantasy rpg archetype and goes for a more nuanced story. There's a lot to like if you can overlook the flaws
DA:2 gets the right reputation because it had to be the choosen, it had to be the best RPG after the king of RPGs DA:O.
@M M Piero Those are barely sentences
The problem with DA:2 is that it seems that they limited the game on purpose so it can be an "in-between" game from Origins to Inquisition, even though I loved the blood mage from DA:2, I pretty much did a speedrun so I could play Inquisition asap lol, and its the only DA that I haven't replayed since then, pretty boring
@@mmpiero Basically you just called a generic fantasy story of a united fight against mindless evil with a cast of boring archetype characters (Loghain excluded) and a slow gameplay riddled with tons of useless abilities (mage especially) a "king of RPGs"?
...people these days.
Odyssey, Divinity and Fallout 4 all ranked same?!?!?
This is borderline insanity
Bastion and fallout 4 being on the same tier is even worse. Its like its a clickbait
they do different things well.
take some different examples and you will face the same issue.
how do you compare divinity original sin and diablo 2? both are obviously under the rpg spectrum, and if you do not categorize them further - arpg or crpg then this is what you are going to end up with.
admitedly even if you take fallout 4 for what it is - random shit killer, explore-generic-content thing, it is still a mess. not even on the same level of something like odyssey which is 'shadow of war' power fantasy openworld generic content clearing arpg, which at the very least - it does well what it does.
@@fartloudYT if you call fallout 4 a generic game you need to see a doctor
@@callisto537 I've seen picnic blankets with less predictable patterns than that game
@@TheBaca219 another water head ... hi, how are you? May I help you with anything?
Dragon's Quest, Grim Dawn, Pillars of Eternity, Persona 5, horizon zero dawn, tides of numenera, ni no kuni, you missed so many important rpgs
Love Horizon, but does it really qualify? It just has an upgrade system.
@@Tyler_W it's considered an action role-playing game
DQ 11 is a MASSIVE miss for him to not put on the list
@@Tyler_W I mean same can be said of AC and Nier
If he can consider Assassins Creed an RPG and leave off DQ, Horizon, Etc, what a joke
I feel like the main issue with dragon age 2 is 1. the devs didn't get enough time, which is how you get problems like their overwhelming reuse of maps and the weird faces, and 2. the rivalry options for most of the characters are actually kind of bad, especially for characters like merrill or fenris where as much as what they're doing isn't the best/healthiest, you can fully see where they're coming from and the rival route ends up feeling kinda abusive. Other than that I would personally put it in S or A tier
the combat in that game is still in my top 3 for rpgs
@@seanarnold349 oh same. Also someone brought up an interesting point on the repetitive maps thing recently, where it's probably not intended, but very funny if taken as canon: The reason why all the areas look the same is that Varric only describes the areas the first time they visit, and after a couple times he's just like "the wounded coast" or "a cave" without putting much detail into it and cassandra just pictures the same location map in her mind.
I thought the Rivalries were fantastic, often toxic but feels realistic. I agree with everything else though.
South Park Stick of Truth is definitely S-Tier. It’s actually a good RPG, then combine that with the hilarity of the South Park world and you get completely immersed.
Never played the Mass Effect games. Very excited for the Trilogy remaster if it actually comes out and try it.
@UCD9rAkxrOOJy7U5UURAr7jA without changing anything? i think you mean without monetizing everything
I'm conflicted because EA and Bioware have declined in quality and are not the same as they used to be, can they really be trusted to faithfully remaster the trilogy without changing anything? We shall see.
Play them Mr. Gun Arm go now do it
Honestly the greatest series of games I have ever played, even considering the ending (at first release) was underwhelming. Given the updates they made with dlc and the fact it would be a remaster I would easily play through the trilogy again several times, absolutely some of the best characters of any game ever, period.
Same
Love coming back to your channel every once in a while, Matty. Your energy is refreshing, my friend. It makes me feel positive and enjoy these games more than I already do. Cheers!
Dragon’s Dogma deserves at least an A tier, game's combat, pawn knowledge party system, versatility and replayability makes it not exactly an S tier due to it's weird and hard-to-comprehend story, and the characters are kinda bland, but everything else totally makes up for it. I myself actually understood the story pretty well when I first started playing it 10 years back and I really liked the uniqueness and originality.
W Itsuno game
No it's not even close to a tier... Judy kike skyrim is shit tier... ddma is b tier
You put Fable 3 in F tier but Odyssey in B tier yeah ok buddy
You need to Check out Obsidians isometric RPGS Tyranny, Poe 1,2 and Also Pathfinder Kingmaker the last ones not by Obsidian tho
Also Disco Elysium is a must play
Pillars and tyranny are CRIMINALLY underrated. If you're an RPG fan they're must plays. Shame they sold poorly.
Pillars of eternity is a fucking masterpiece
I am nerding-out with Pathfinder: Kingmaker (by Owlcats Games), BUT players must be warned it is challenging and a bit stressful for me even (I do not want to fail my kingdom building, etc.).
ps: I play with pen-and-paper difficulty (damage done and received are flat 1:1 ; except critical hits because they are insane in Pathfinder).
- also loved Pillars of eternity, though I understand many players get burnt out early on in the game.
Funny how actual rpgs are not in this list and action/hack&slash/choose you own adventure populate the S tier.
Wheres Dragon Quest XI? Thats top 3 RPG of the decade for me, and got a 92 on Metacritic so deserves a place, no?
That’s what I was thinking it’s my favorite jrpg of the generation, the end game on that one and the true ending is s+ teir for me. Also nino kuni 1 and 2 which are similar are s teir for me
o yea this too he missed alot and put alot of questionable are they rpgs or not on there
Music was grating and made it unplayable for me halfway through
@@jbob4996 wtf, grating? Who gives up on a game cuz of the music? You can turn it down or off if u want. For a music to make a game unplayable it has to be really bad has it not? And thats not the case here.
@@Im_xFroZ Yep it really was that bad for me and the gameplay was not enough for me to continue playing anyway. Trying to listen to something else or turning off the music does not sit right with me either when experiencing a game.
I'm not alone with that opinion about the music but hey, not all games are for everyone
I've only recently started playing Skyrim for the first time and I've never dumped so many hours into a game before in a short amount of time
You may have already done this but… add mods! I recommend combat mods and graphic mods. It can really enhance your gameplay! I made my game GOT themed. So much fun.
yeah I added mods, I didn't go crazy on the mods, I used like graphic mods, better inventory, better maps ect
What race and build did you pick for your first playthrough?
Shit game
@@maverick608 it’s probably pretty basic but I picked Breton my first play through
"DOS 2 is the best RPG of the decade" - Agree completely.
Disagree with Dark souls though, belongs in S-tier.
Not as an rpg and in my opinion not at all. It's a decent action game. Doesn't have the best combat and that's all the game does.
7dayspking I liked the combat, it actually made u think about your attacks instead of spamming
Skyrim is above Dark Souls and FF7, i dont want to live on this planet anymore
Agree. Dark Souls is S tier.
@@7dayspking Dark Souls has amazing lore, ridiculous amount of build variety and one of the most unique online mechanics of any game ever made. Saying all it has is combat is ridiculous.
Glad to see Kingdom Come Deliverance getting the recognition it deserves Jesus Christ be praised!
I really thought he was going to go B-tier for KCD, I was cracking my knuckles for writing an angry comment about it. KCD is A-tier at least
Ken Kirwin agreed
From what I played of it the game is enjoyable but sadly it is so damn buggy and unstable. For one I can't even use a bow without the game crashing, half the time quests either break or the textures freak out then the game crashes, every hour or so the game will just crash, and then you have the God awful load times. I kid you not the average load time for me is about 5 to 10 minutes. But looking past those problems it is a good game but id personally say bottom B or top C because the load times and instability
@@svartrbrisingr6141 was that near release by chance? The game was a buggy mess on release, but I found it to be totally fine after a few patches. In fact it seemed much less buggy than most games like it, after the patches.
@@thefolkbloke6656 I got it about half a year ago. But for one I got it one ps4 and for two I haven't been able to update it. It's a 48 gig update and I have no Wi-Fi
I know it's much better after the patches but since I'm unable to get it updated I have to judge it by what I know. If it was stable and not very buggy then it's an easy A tier
I scrolled to the last and found couldn't identity the games from the icons clearly. Do you have a text version list? Thanks.
Great love for kcd and Outer Worlds. Two great games that get way overlooked.
love Kingdom come.
The Outer Worlds is the opposite of overlooked.
outer worlds is the most mediocre boring game
@@deadmoney5580 you're a mediocre boring game.
This list just makes me realize how many games I've missed out on... if I ever get sick to the point where I need months to recover but I'm awake and can sit up, I'm diving deep into as many of these RPG's as possible!!
you haven't missed out on anything.. games are a waste of productive time.. so are movies/series etc..

@@ginofoogle6944 Both of you are right, they are a waste of time if you spend a lot of your time playing. On the other hand there are games that can give you a lesson to learn for life and also makes you forget about the bad things in your life
Personally I would move Dragons Dogma, Ff7 and Deus Ex:HR up to A tier, nevertheless a pretty solid list
I whole heartily agree!
Dragon’s Dogma would be S for me, such a unique game
DD should be cut from the list. It’s highly overrated.
@@majorgear1021 Overrated? That's bait xD
75 percent of these aren’t even RPGs
100% of these are RPGs, just not what u classify as rpgs.
@@miks_w8945 AC is definitely not an RPG and Dark Souls is more of an action game with RPG elements. The rest are RPGs (except maybe Borderlands, but I haven't played it, so I don't know).
More Action RPG like shooter RPG. i like Classic RPG adventure and great storyline.
@@wilhufftarkin8543 Odyssey has some little rpg elements and borderlands is more of a looter shooter, that some people consider that as being an rpg nowadays
Inquisition at C Tier? This guy's a joke! Inquisition should be S Tier!
Matty please do one for 2000-2010, that's the absolute best era for RPGs, would love to see what you put where.
Can already see VtMB, Kotors and original Fallouts (including NV) being in the S tier.
persona 3 fes definitely S tier
The 90s will remember this
@@mycelia_ow GOTHIC 1+2
as long as dragon age origins, deus ex and Baldur's gate 2 get S I'll be satisfied
As a new sub , this is a nice video to know your taste :p
Happy to hear!! I’m glad it was helpful
Same
90% of these games aren't even RPGs, but not like I'm surprised since most people nowadays think any game with an open world is an RPG.
It's like seahorses. They are called that way because they look like horses, but they aren't. Just like those games. They look like RPG's, but they aren't.
Imagine someone suggesting an rpg and you tell some "play borderlands or assasins creed odyssey"... turn your gaming card in.
ac odyssey was most definitley an rpg
"WHATS UP GUYS ITS MIDTER MATTY HERE BEINGING YOU THE RPG TIER LIST PART 2 STARTING WITH, CALL OF DUTY BLACK OPS 3.
Well, it has a leveling system
Edit: atleast I assume it does
I actually preferred 13 Lightning Returns over XIII-2, but I can see how it can be different from person to person. XIII is a great series imo most people that complain about it have either never played it and follow the popular trend they "heard about" to hate on xiii or the people who actually played xiii never got past the first opening mission because the game does open up more later, and I feel part 2 and 3 progressively took what it learned and got better.
I agree with you brother, FF XIII made me shed a tear in the end, and the last game that did it was X. I was afraid of playing XIII because of reviews too, but once I did it became my second favorite FF of all time, and I've played every single one of them. My only problem with Lightning Returns is the "end of the world" vibe which gave me a lot of anxiety cuz of that fucking clock telling me how many time I have left before the game ends, I hated it lol. But XIII-2 has the best chocobo song when you ride a red one, and no one will change my mind about it. XD
FF died after X.
All to be more consumer friendly.
for some reason I just love watching ranking videos
This is excellent content, nicely done buddy
No way in hell that Dragon Age: Inquisition = Dragon Age 2.
both suck lmao, origins was the only good game in the franchise
@@thejoaoprx nie
@@thejoaoprx yeah but inquisition made 2's combat 4x better the story was still bad but the combat was some much more fun best combat in the series imo
DA2 is so much better imo. I did 2 playthroughs of DAI about 4 years ago and I haven't been able to replay it since simply because I don't want to deal with the annoying fetch quests and the messy writing again.
Meanwhile I can replay DAO and DA2 time and time again just fine. Although I will say that DAO is a buggy mess without mods (especially the Awakening DLC) and vanilla DAO definitely hasn't aged well.
Inquisition isn't a good game but 2 is worse
I just finished The Banner Saga- it was legitimately the most surprisingly beautiful game I've ever played. The choices, grid combat, characters, and locations were all so well done. I adore the game and can't wait to replay it.
Thanks to your comment I will be playing that game.
Also right now i'm playing slay the spire, very fun game though♥
These are not RPGs, these are action games with progression
Sorry if I missed it but, had DA:Origins been from 2010, where would you have put it/how would you have ranked it
outer worlds was c or b at best for me, the first 10 hrs were very fun and afterwards nothing mattered to me anymore be it gameplay or story, can't put my finger on why
Game is too limited in depth, don't expect too much from AA titles. If it was AAA (like Starfield) then I'm sure it would have been better.
You should take a look into the mediocre direction, if you ever revisit the world notice how bland everything is.
It still baffles me that the same people who made Pillars, New Vegas and Tyranny (the latter of which is criminally underrated, it's playing a dark side figure done right) made the outer worlds so boring really.
@@tobiasL1991 Not the same people. The team that made NV also worked on Pillars. Tyranny and Outer worlds are different teams. There is overlap but the main creative teams for these three projects were entirely different.
People always say the 'team that made FONV are gone' but that isn't true.
Yeah it’s a AA title and definitely B tier at the highest. Was really surprised about the A tier
OW was good but I agree with you. Actually, I felt Pillars of Eternity was much the same. PoE is the first RPG I abandoned nearing the end.
There's "Dead to Me" and then there's Mass Effect Andromeda.
The combat in that game tho is so good
I’ll give it that
Driving around in the world was also fun. At least some nice landscapes. The major problem of Andromeda is its writing and characters. The bugs where not even that bad when compared to what Cyberpunk delivered.
LOL
I played it for the first time last year, and I was pleasantly surprised by how fun it was. Definitely enjoyed my time with it, despite not thinking I was going to. I think it gets a lot more flak than it deserves because of it's launch. New Vegas had a considerably worse launch, but it had some REALLY strong writing holding it up, which mass effect andromeda doesn't have the same degree of help. I think it's a solid game, yet still the unloved step-child of the mass effect series.
I didn't search for this, I am now committed to watching a 40min video of a man judging his games
No way in hell are Dark souls and Borderlands 2 A tier. They are masterpieces and easily some of the best games ever made on the same level as mass effect 2, skyrim and new vegas
first of all skyrim is c tier at best and second of all dark souls 3 is a better experience than one even tho 1 is still good
@@shay4261 honestly I’ve never played mass effect or Skyrim I just said they were the same cause the guy put them on the highest tier lol I love dark souls 1 and 3 but I’ve only played through 3 once while I’ve played through 1 about 3-4 times
Takeabreak+playdarksouls3=doing yourself a favor
Better off replaying Bloodborne for the 4th time lol
@@kaspersaldell True. DS3 is a good game but almost nothing can stand up to Bloodborne
@@massivegat5087 bloodborne is generally third best souls game. Rather play DS1 or DS3 than BB.

@@massivegat5087 its better imo but I found myself going back to dark souls 3 or 1 because bloodborne doesn't rlly have alot of build variety and it gets kinda boring once you've tried out all weapons which compared to the other games there aren't alot still they are the best weapons in the series by cool factor alone
You forgot Dragon Quest 11!
Good list overall, but do yourself a favor and play Fire Emblem Three Houses and Dragon Quest 11.
Dragon quest 11 is s tier
Fire emblem on switch was one of the best games I've played in a decade. It's the first time in my entire life that I finished the game (and it's not a short game) and then immediately began a second playthrough which I also played all the way to completion.
I'm not a person that tends to replay games a lot, but damn was that one worth it.
What route did you start with? Played Golden Deer and actually dropped it before finishing my first playthrough. Just felt the characters were too flat (although not as bad as Fates). Awakening and Echoes are the only ones released after 2010 that I have re-played.
@@Samuel-th6fw Not the original poster but, I started with the blue lions. I remember immediately taking a liking to Dimitri’s character, and I believe I had no mistake in doing so.

You should definitely give the blue lions a shot if you haven’t already.

@@thomasmchugh6230everything on S tier on this list is a good start. But feel like Elden Ring is unmatched right now
@@thomasmchugh6230 trails in the sky and persona 3 because the later persona games' qol are too good in comparison
I would've really liked to know where he put the Risen Franchise and Elex.
I don’t Matty has ever played a Piranha Bytes game. In his Gothic Remake video, he said he tried the original Gothic just to compare it to the remake teaser, but never ended up finishing the game. And he didn’t include any of the Gothic or Risen games in his 2000-2010 tier list. For me personally, I’d give Elex a high B, and I haven’t played Risen yet. Although, I played Elex on console, so maybe it’s better on PC. And I only ever played it once. I should replay it after I play the Risen games, which I own but just haven’t gotten to yet. I really hope we get an Elex 2 soon though, the story of Elex was really cool, and if they could just fix the combat I’m sure it would be a top tier RPG.
IMHO, Risen 1 A , Risen 2 and 3 C ; Gothic 1 A ; Gothic 2 S ; Gothic 3 B
This man just called Nioh 2 a jrpg
Because it is
@@swaggydaddygrung3136 bruh
@@arpitdas4263 I always considered persona and other games like valkyrie chronicle true jrpg.
How about to make CRPG's list? id like to see you recomendation in this board for Atom RPG franchise
Was looking for old Francis videos and your video showed up. Subscribed.
Wow! Didn't even mention the existence of Dragon Quest XI.
Came here to say this!
DIdn't mention Shin Megami Tensei IV either, unfortunately
This looks almost nothing like mine would and, unpopular opinion, that's ok.
how can you rate rpgs without taking into account the character progression system?
Nioh 2 is amazing when You’re just starting the game but endgame is what killed it for me (Underword/Underworld depths) the bosses just have to much health and deal to much damage it really feels like you never deal enough damage then after minutes of getting a bosses health down they oneshot you.
Fallout 76 (as it is now) is severely underrated imo. I've genuinely had so much fun playing it the past 2 weeks or so.
It deserves all the hate it gets.
I have a friend who plays it and they have said it's gotten better but it's still far from being good
Fallout 76 is definitely at least c tier
Fallout 76 is definitely at least F tier
I definitely have MHW/Iceborne in the S tier. It made me fall in love with the series after putting in 1500 hours and making new friends. I'd also have Dark Souls in S tier, Dark Souls 2 in A(at least the Scholar edition), Dark Souls 3 in S, Deus Ex HR in A(misses S just for the bosses) and Deus Ex MD in B. Though Fallout 4 is a meh rpg I still really like the game (compared to 76 it's a masterpiece) and with the dlc and mods I'd still have it in A.
1500 hours? Geez don't forget to live
Also 76 is actually good now. You're just basing your opinion off launch day reviews.
@@sabus1265 it's ok now, the outsiders dlc did make it a lot better and brought that classic fallout feel, but its still the buggiest Bethesda game. It makes fallout 4 look way better and like an actual rpg. If your experience is different than that's fine, I'm just talking about mine.
@@sabus1265 1500 hours over 2 years is less than 2 hours per day. Nothing compared to 3k or 5k I've seen some UA-camrs or people online.
@@sabus1265 No, it's actually playable now. It's not good.
To this day kingdoms of Amalur , the reckoning holds a special place in my heart
It’s a very very special game my friend
Im glad you put the south park ones so high. Those are perfect 'light' rpgs. I LOVED the combat system in the second one. Amazing stories too. Just a short and sweet fun time.
Glad to see Mass effect 2 is S tier, my favorite game of all time.
It has like 3/4 missions in the actual story rest is just companion quests, which are good but that shouldn't come at the cost of the actual story.
ME1 did story well but hasn't aged well gameplay wise
ME2 did companions well
ME3 did story and combat well
@@therockingvolbeat3630 All three games are God tier
@@BlazerManiacNumber96 I agree some of the best games I've ever played
@@therockingvolbeat3630 Just companion quests he says.. The companions in Mass Effect 2 is the heart of the game. The entire game is centered around them to the recruitment of them, earning their loyalty and delegating their roles during the suicide mission. Why is that a bad thing?
Crap
Divinity original sin 2 is insanely fun. Especially when you use mods to open up more available classes and abilities
oh man... i've played this game so many times! it's so good
@@rafaelvieira2845 it's the only rpg i took my time the first i played it. I stayed in the first two maps for like 30 hours just absorbing every dialogue. most of the time in other games, i skip through the talking but dos2 has a charm in it's dialogues.
And all the possibility the game has,l to solve each quest, is just amazing, tho I don't play with mods because I play in console (tho, now there are some gift bags), the game is an amazing experience.
Wait how many classes do we get at the start? O.O
I have about 400 hours in this game and I still enjoy it, incredible
Hey MrMatty,
Any plans on releasing video discussing and promoting the Wayward Realms kickstarter campaign running right now? Very cool Unreal Engine 5 sequel to Daggerfall
Most ''RPG fans'' today doesn't even know what RPG means or what it actually suppose to be. This guy is one of them 😂
Since Maruki theme is playing in the background I'm gonna assume that Persona 5/Royal is gonna be fairly high
Matty always has Persona 5 Royale music playing the background. Can't blame him. That game's music is incredible.
@@radstormronin68 persona music is incredible overall , i remenber listening to Mist ost on izanami's fight on p4, i was 10 back then , watching a let's play of p4 , crying at the fight , literally . persona means soooooo much to me dude
Royal belongs in its own tier
@@MrMattyPlays AGGHH I need to start playing again, right before the 5th palace which is my least favorite, but I need to endure to get to the extra 20 hours or so
@@MrMattyPlays God Tier
As soon as I saw bloodborne in S tier I knew this was gonna be a good list
Why
@@xx_pcgamer_xx6866 Because Bloodborne rules
Same. Bloodborne is in my top 3 games
Bloodborne fans are fucking crazy. This is called a real gaming addiction, to tell the truth, I'm even afraid of them xD
@@LuM4rex lmao we have no remorse forcing this game into people’s throats
I’m late but dope vid I gotta check these games out. Where would you put Ghost of Tsushima and Red Dead II on this list?
Hey, what's you're opinion on nier automata? Where would it stand?
Seeing Fable 3 in F hurts my soul that game was my baby 😭😭
I dont think it deserves f but its definitely not as good as fable 2
Lol the sanctuary alone makes that game shit
Certainly doesn't deserve an F. I feel a lot of the placement of these games is always relative to other games by the same studio or in the same series.
If you asses Fable 3 on everything it did individually and compare it to other games on the list, it's nowhere near an F.
@@therockingvolbeat3630 How many of the games on this list legitimately are though?
The Rocking Volbeat I preferred it but it definitely wasn’t as good as fable 2
Personally love Dragon Age: Inquisition. Could be because it was my first Dragon Age game, but i personally thought the story and characters were very good. I will say it’s a bit Ubisoft like with all the collectibles, but overall I love it
Agreed! It's an amazing game!
Honestly it's one of the best RPG's i have ever played. I have never played a game where i have felt so powerful. The choices, the throne/war table room, the customization, the music, the characters, the dragons boss battles etc. And the fucking Trespasser DLC was just epic.
These comments are why I’m doing a 2020 review. There must be something I’m missing!
I think the issue is that because of all the filler stuff, the actual story missions fell short. The story missions they did have were so good but they just needed some more of them instead of a lot of the filler side quests. The areas were all even pretty cool to me. Just to much random side quests.
@@MrMattyPlays YES!! Thank you, Matty!! I can't wait to watch that, thank you! As a Dragon Age content creator, I eagerly await your thoughts after playing the Trespasser DLC! Whoop!
This guy has never played a game he didn't think was an rpg!!!
I can't believe you placed Mass Effect 3 in B tier. Maybe its not the greatest every "RPG", but damn is it a good game.
Same reason he put Deus Ex and FF7 in B tier, lack of brain cells.
@@JayConstantine Obviously. I generally enjoy his content, but after this video I have lost faith in his ability to judge games.
@@JayConstantine deus ex is great but ff7 is pretty mid even compared to other titles
Nioh 2 was a damn dream game for me. I love it and still play it so so much
Dragons Dogma is A to me i Love it, i play it religiously once a year its so underrated. i prey for a sequel.
a sequel got confirmed kindaish the developer said he loved to make a sequel but he needs a yes from the higher ups!.
Dragons dogma will always be S tier to me just because the gameplay is so fun and I tend to prioritise gameplay the most above other elements in a game. I love how different the classes play and all the abilities you can get with them. Some of the quests were pretty boring, but having an RPG with a great combat system more than made up for it. Even though it's a flawed game, it's a gem to me.
Dragon dogma is S tier, this list not valid at all
@Georg Tolstoj I love Dragons Dogma but I’d say it’s A tier because I don’t feel like it belongs in my S tier with Baldur’s Gate, Pillars of Eternity and Dragon Age Origins. It’s like a high A up there with New Vegas. It’s just my opinion
I just played it on switch finished all including the end game BBI about 85 hours to 100% everything. Absolutely great game honestly
I'm an ancient gamer so I love all the really old games like the PC versions of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Planescape, Icewind Dale, etc. I never thought more modern games would ever capture that "magic" again but after a long gaming hiatus I started playing Divinity Original Sins 2 recently (never played the original) and it's one of the best games I've ever played of all time! To me it even eclipses my all time favorite isometric games, it's just so much damn fun! I can't wait until they finish BG3 - I know it's playable now but I'm waiting until it's finished before I sink my teeth in.
It’s always good to hear the wisdom
of the ancient ones.

@@simplyzed8966 Which will always be better than Youngblood. :)
Well I disagree about DOS2 and DOS3, but you do you, brother.
Not long now, August 3rd and Baldur's Gate 3 will be out! 🎉
Thank you for the tierlist I eaily sub and you will be my go to when it comes to game tier list. I hope you can make an update for 2023
I loved Fable 3, and the entire franchise. It's a lotta nostalgia, and I acknowledge 3 is pretty flawed but I don't think it's F tier flawed.
If you like Persona, I recommend playing the Trails of Cold Steel games.
I keep hearing about the Trails games. I need to take the leap.
I seriously adore Persona and just got into the games recently. Never played Trails but they look and sound pretty good, I'll have to try sometime
omg they were not on the list either all of the trials
Trails games are very niche. But, theyre amazing.
I started with Trails in the Sky and I recommend playing that trilogy before steel. The world keeps building in every trails game so far.
u missed elex, would be intrested to hear ur opinion on this one!
so many non rpg games on the list
I agree that Dragon Age Origins is one of the best games out there. Loved how you can even recruit the villain into your party. DA2 should have been better however I like that the main character and dialogue options are voiced. I do have to say that the option titles are sometimes misleading as most of the time it is not exactly what the character will say. While Inquisition and DA2 could have been better. To me the whole serie is S tier to me. Simply for the dialogue options alone and the lore.
As for other games Kingdom Hearts series as a whole is still A tier to me. I absolutely love the combat system and the main story. The combat makes up for the fillers. FF7 Remake is an SS tier to me. Absolutely loved it and while it has flaws they nailed it for me!
Kingdom hearts 3 is a and 2 is SSSSSSSS
Alright, he put NieR in S-tier. You guys can all go home. Make sure to douse those torches in water and put the pitchforks back where you found them. Thanks for coming, everyone. Tommy, we still on for that 9 o'clock tee time tomorrow?
Yea, but he also but 7 Remake on the same level as 13-2... no man 7 Remake miles beyond better than any of the 13 games.
JRPGs suck.
@@Zora147 noo caius is the only reason why it should be on the same level as ff7
Is nier really a good RPG.
@@muhammadhussain4952 yes
The mad lad actually put Assassins Creed Odyssey in B. Tier over Dragon Age Inquisition LMFAO
Inquisition is sick (ofcourse origins is way better) and AC Odyssey is a kick in the balls to the fans. Don't really understand his choice here.
What's the "S" game at 29:00?? ty
Final fantasy 7 in B tier is criminal
Disco Elysium would be an S+ for me. A seriously great RPG, even when compared to Divinity Original Sin 2
Bandwagon talk
@@sabus1265 pleb
@@sabus1265 the game came out a year ago dude.
It is a good game...
But the gameplay and character writing of disco elysium is no where near as good as divinity original sin 2....
@@sabus1265 . Agree
Honestly SWTOR should've been on the list, since it's an RPG with MMO elements bolted onto it.
It's more of an RPG than other games on this list so I was shocked it didn't make it onto the list,
I love that game, I need to get back on there ASAP.
It was only rpgs since 2010??
Swtor is the mmorpg we all wanted litterally it just took too long to develop to what it is today. Everyone should go back and play it its still active and 50+ hrs of new story gameplay plus the multiplayer is compettive and under rated asf. Does everything an mmo should and what a rpg should!
@@aaronendo8150 I agree, I'm literally playing it right now.
What do you guys think about Fable I and Fable II? Personally, I love Fable I, wish it was bigger though. The game is too short.
Fallout new vegas and elder scrolls skyrim V are best rpg games that ever made
dont fucking change my mind
I agree
You need to play more RPGs...
Diablo III was a generous B with RoS. I feel that my nostalgia is too great for D2 for them to ever top it at Blizzard.
No Trails games, no Ys games, no Dragon Quests games, no Persona(only P4G? lol), no SMT games, very disappointing "Ultimate" Tier list which is missing a lot of big name RPGs here lmao
Newsflash weaboo, we only got persona 5 this decade. Unless you count “Q” and the other games are not exactly American mainstays. (If you liked dragonquest 11 cool, but I didn’t like pressing attack and going from objective a-b for 15 hours before returning the game, boring as shit)
@@nnnnnn085468 its not about liking or not, at least he can put on the didn't play, but hey, He play Tokyo Mirage Session that basically weebo games
It is true He missing a lot of rpg
Preach Rita! I was waiting for him to drop those titles but they never popped up.
@@nnnnnn085468 bro a classic rpg is litellary just pressing a and b
No Lost Odyssey...
Where's Gothic 1-3 series? im suprised you missed those man.
I’ve just started playing older titles on my series x and I just began kotor, fallout nv, final fantasy 7 and elder scrolls 3 . It’s incredible how a game that old can have a tremendous wealth of quality content and those are what I’m discovering to be RPGs . Any other recommendations ??
I know it’s an indie game but I was kind of surprised not to see Undertale included on the list
I know. Especially since you can make unique decisions for each playthrough that affect the world and the story
Fuck the fandom, still S tier
Is it just me or are there some rpgs missing from this list
I don't know if i missed it, but he talked about dragons age: Origins the first game being the best, reviewed the others and then I don't think Origins was added. I tried to look for it at the end thinking maybe I missed that part but didn't see it. Wonder if it would be S tier? Otherwise tho its a pretty good list I agreed with a lot of his placements
Skyrim on S tier? Lol
anyone got a game like assassins creed odyssey that i could start playing? i’m a long time ac fan and i do realise that it isn’t the traditional assassins creed but i still really like it, i also really like space and history so if anyone has any games that they think r good and wanna let me know, thanks
