"I just completed the Witcher 3.
"200 hours of magnificence. 200 hours of lush forests, dank dungeons, bloodthirsty monsters, and tyrannical kings.
"What an experience. What a game. So why am I not writing this article to sing its praises? Why is this article not entitled ‘Witcher 3: How I love thine gorgeous frosty beard’?
"Because Dark Souls, that’s why."
With so many PS5 exclusives to choose from, it can be a little overwhelming to pick which one to play. This is especially true for a new PlayStation gamer who has yet to experience the wonder of PlayStation-exclusive storytelling. So, here's KnowTechie's take on the best PS5 exclusives in 2024 and beyond
PlayStation is killing it with the exclusives this year. Exclusive wise, what has xbox released this year?
Returnal, Astro Bot, and Ratchet made having it since day one worth it.
GT7 free updates and Spiderman 2 and others at 60fps have made this last year more than okay.
But yeah, it’s been dry lately. BG3 and third party have made great filler, but we ready for that SOCOM or Killzone announcement and some more 1st party goodness. Crossing fingers for Ghost of Tsushima 2 announcement this summer.
Didn’t know Helldivers was exclusive! Wtf is going on at Xbox that they can’t get these games, series s strikes again.
Looks like they are on par with the previous gens. Solid games all around. Interestingly enough, we can't say they released a bad game yet this gen. Unlike the Quiet Man dustup.
I actually do not mind if Marathon releases on multiple platforms . I just wish that Marathon has a dedicated single player campaign.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
"Dark Souls: Archthrones is like playing a brand new FromSoftware game, and that speaks volumes about just how much good modding can do," says Hanzala from eXputer.
I completed The Witcher 3 and returned to trying to 100% MGS:Ground Zeroes. Does that mean that The Withcer 3 is not as good as Ground Zeroes? Hell No! It just means that I moved on, or rather returned to my previous gaming challenge.
It seems the author has done the same, but instead relegates The Witcher 3 to the 'shadow of Dark souls' - a place that is wholly unfair for it to be. The two games are different enough to be able stand side by side as examples of excellent RPG's.
And Dark Souls is in the shadow of the Witcher 3 when it comes to story, dialogue, characters, world building and so on.
No one play Witcher for the combat and no one play souls for the story characters, world building etc..
Different games have different priorities. simple as that.
One of the most idiotic article i have ever read.
The witcher 3 is better than dark souls in almost every way. That open world, lore, story, quests, content, graphics (yes, graphics) and in my opinion, has better gameplay. It's the most well rounded rpg i've ever played.
