...which isn't fantasy.
Sci-fi is preferable, but not Fallout, Mass Effect or anything to do with Star Wars, whatsoever.
360, PS3 or PC.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Need an RPG...

Might want to keep your eyes out for Phantasy Star Online 2. It is a f2p model, avalible on PC soon and Vita later. It is in beta right now(JPN client), and is set to launch this fall/winter.
It is high on my radar.
Mostly, I don't like Sci-fi. Because most of the games end up being SW wanna bes or CyberPunk. I am not a big fan of either.
Or, how do you feel about Borderlands(2)?

Non-fantasy RPGs on PS3 / 360:
Alpha Protocol, Borderlands (More Shooter), Resonance of Fate (Steampunk, semi sci-fi), Deus Ex Human Revolution (More action).On PC there are a LOT of non-fantasy RPGs (Though mostly old).

Best writing in the entire industry, bar none.

Yeah, I liked Deus Ex, and Deus Ex: Human Revolution both. Also, Bioshock and Dead Space 1 feel a little RPG-ish to me, and they're both classics, so maybe give them a shot too...

Second shout out for Lost Odyssey

I second Alpha protocol, is not fantasy per-se, is like mass effect on the spy world, and is just as good as mass effect.

+1 Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

Thanks again everyone for the advice.
I think I'm gonna go for Alpha Protocol.
It doesn't look like the best game, but looks like it could be fun if you don't take it seriously, which is the kind of thing that I go for.

Have fun with that. It's one of the worse games ever made since Daikatana.

No it's not :)
It's not a great game but it has serious potential, some seriously unpolished sequences along with one or 2 really awesome elements. It's a real mixed bag but one that a fan of RPGs can really enjoy.Posted 9 months ago # -
Alpha Protocol isn't that bad. It's a modern day Deus Ex, though not as good.

@The_Red "Potential" is a little pointless if it's not realised. And it still does change the fact that the game a bug ridden mess with a terrible, uninspired story and derivative, unoriginal characters.

I does realize some of that potential. As Giskard said, it's a 2nd rate Deus Ex. As for being bug ridden, I won't call it bug ridden. The thing is, I heard a lot about its bugs from a co-worker but on the 360 I didn't find any huge bugs. It was pretty much on par with most console RPGs in that regard and was pretty much least buggy Obsidian game since ever. The characters part though I kinda agree but then, most of modern RPGs are filled with those types. Even a great RPG like Dragon Age 1 had less than 2-3 non-derivative characters.Posted 8 months ago # -
@ G1GA, did you get AP in the end? What did you think?

Not yet... I've been moving house, so no time for gaming other than Angry Birds, atm.
Will try and post my impressions on it, though...

Another thumbs up for Resonance of Fate here. The combat system is completely unique, and requires a lot of positional awareness and planning.
Really liked the map tile system too, planning routes through undiscovered areas in a weird jigsaw/tetris fashion.
A very original game, with a damn funny script in places.

@Gadzooks!
Hell yeah, a fellow Resonance of Fate fan. God, I loved that the game. The most fun JRPG I've played since Suikoden 3. Loved the combat, loved the map system and LOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEED weapon crafting mechanic.Posted 8 months ago # -
If you've not played Lost Odyssey yet - then it's a must. Without a doubt one the best RPGs of this generation.
