For me, it depends on several factors: In a 1 player game, first and foremost is immersion. For that, you need at least decent graphics, a good musical score, and a deep, compelling story. Then comes the parts of the game itself; the playability and the game mechanics. The game has to be challenging, yet rewarding. MMO's are a different story. They also need graphics, music, and a good story, sure, but the most important factor is the community. If, for example, the game is filled with 12 year ...

Im playing face of mankind currently, 100% player driven. QUOTE Face of Mankind is not a typical RPG: the most important difference is that you are the game. Your actions will affect the next available tactical decision for you and your fellow players. Your actions will affect the economic system. Your actions will determine the balance of power each and every second.
You have control over an intuitive First Person Shooter style interface. The cutting edge graphics engine will present a world of five huge cities on earth, 20 colonies in outer space and two special places. Choose to join one of ten organizations. Be a soldier for the F.D.C. or a law enforcer of the L.E.D.. Fight for right and order, climb to higher ranks! Decide to be a clan member and find your way beyond the law! Or join one of the companies as a trader, miner or producer to control the complex economic system. What ever path you chose, Face of Mankind will continue to evolve. You are only one player among many, but you can change the world. Your destiny demands it.
I think the plot has to be interesting, but simple without you having to read fifty books. A few dialouges like diablo 2 had, all you needed where a few sentences for each quest. Instead you should learn the story by short dialog and surroundings. The combat system should be tactical, not just stand and click, but moving around and dodging/aiming.
Focus should be more on gameplay then story, and predictable I don't mind when I'm relaxing, but being unique is good, with new ideas for creatures and attacks and traps to stimulate your mind. Graphics should be stunning, to be really something you just stand in a place and say wow, kindof like the arreat's summit view in diablo 2 when you look down, or some of the sights in FFX.
Mostly I like the storylines. This maes the game more exciting to play and experience. I play a couple of RPG games but so far, I know that the best RPGs are MMORPGs. Also some combat isn't bad and fighting and stats and levels. That's what seems to make any game better.
Depends. It it's online, people generally don't care about the storyline (or graphics) but more about the amount of people and world size. Single player games, however, attract people most when there is nice graphics, a stable storyline, and detailed characters and their development.
I totally agree with the past posts. If the game is going to be a 1 player game the story definetely has to be engaging and really stick to the person, good rpg stories I have liked are the chrono trigger and ff7. If the game is going to be mmorpg, then its definetely going to be the community that are going to bring life to it.
i think a good RPG has decent graphics. that or the complexity of the character operation.
The thing that makes rpg games good are :
First of all a good story, something interesting to attract the people, then the options of choosing your way of playing the game , choosing will you take the mission or not, will you be a good or a bad guy. After that many secret places and a huge map so you can always play the game over and over and always find something new ... The grafics does not mather to me , as long as it is playable it is good ...
What makes a rpg good by a person who has played every style of rpg you could ever dream up...(yes that is a lot of gaming lol):
1. good story 2. ability roam feely around the world (on some you cant) 2b. I prefer hack and slash variaty 3. I love on line rpgs...I jus love played sacred or guild wars with some other ppl and fight with real ppl and sutff... To give an example of decent rpgs: 1. ruinescape (sometimes thou cos it can get boring and all the 12 yr olds make it really annoying) 2. guild wars 3. sacred and rpg based around these is likely to succeed I think... QUOTE(Arin Sky @ Feb 2 2006, 05:45 PM)  Personally i think that the plot of the game, and its playability are the two most important peices of an RPG. Grahphics are good, but they dont take the cake. a game just isnt good if you cant play it... and i dont enjoy it if it's predictable. What do you think? I'd have to agree with you - the plot definitely makes the game. I like to be able to sort of become part of the game and be there with the characters. Good graphics are a definite bonus along with easy controls...It's a huge turn-off when you're trying to play the latest game and you can't figure out the stupid controls. I'd have to say the Final Fantasy series is my favorite RPG along with Morrowind and Drakan. Latest EntriesFor me, it depends on several factors: In a 1 player game, first and foremost is immersion.

If, for example, the game is filled with 12 year olds with no grammar skills, then you're probably not going to have a good time playing it. On the other hand, if you find a tight group of friends, people like you, then you're going to enjoy the game much more. -reply by Gilgamesh
As long as it is fast loading I would try it out. Nothing runs fast on this old computer now...
For me, a huge contributing factor are the graphics...I just can not stand games that have 2d and/or Nintendo 64 style graphics. I need the most up-to-date ones.
Another one is the playability. I can not stand games where there is not a lot to do, or it is too hard to do. Just following a straight storyline is boring. It needs twists, turns, choices that affect outcomes, and things like puzzles. Aside from that, I do not really require a lot. I mean the storyline itself is not that important. There are some games with great storylines that suck, and vice versa. The characters are not that meaningful to me. I enjoy the game itself more than following who everyone is. So one example of a favorite RPG of mine is Kingdom Hearts/Kingdom Hearts 2. These were just awesome, although they do seem a little childish if you have never played them.
same qualities of a game atract me too! but i also look at the country of origin. you know. my favorite mmorpg is maplestory why?:
-anime like chaacters -extremely hard -fun -2d not 3d -a lot to explore -all my friends play it -and other stuff. haha other people hate it cause its 2d
