Hardcore Gamer: "Let’s face it, rumors have run amok this E3 with plenty of potential games being spoiled before they were even announced. While June 13 holds the biggest set of rumors, it’s unfortunately Bethesda who has had their lineup spoiled a week ago. Along with a slew of new games in their lineup comes a remaster of arguably the most highly regarded fantasy RPGs of the last generation: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim."
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
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
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
This is the end for me. I loved Skyrim even when I was struggling and reloading saves on the janky PS4 version lol. If it isn't $60 it's mine
This is simply awesome news! I loved Skyrim all those years ago and I am itching to play it after watching that trailer. Bethesda has had a solid E3 showing so far!
actually looks amazing, seems like bethesda have actually put in a lot of work. i think for console gamers this is the one and only way to play skyrim
this is how you are suppose to host a game conference, talk about nothing but games. bethesda is growing fast and is becoming one of the top publishers in gaming
especially the fact they love making single player games and aren't rushing after MP only or adding needless MP to every game
i love how there are stealth trolls clicking disagrees
Day 1 baby!
