Path of the Gamer have a new fortnightly feature named Two Minds in which two writers offer their opinion on a different question every second week. This week's question is 'are better graphics damaging gameplay?'
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to 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
Graphics do not damage gameplay, question solved.
No weaker systems hinder game advancement. Im looking at you nintendo switch, wiiu, wii! 😼
Here is a thought, how about both!
Ristul:
Im not disagreeing with that the switch games wont look great for a HANDHELD. In fact, they will probably look amazing. I dont need amazing graphics either and i have always enjoyed the gameplay and artistic brilliance when it came to ninty 1st parties.
The problem i have is the failed promises nintendo makes for what the wii, wiiu, and now what the ns can do. The ninty fans eat this shit up everytime and say "thank you can i please have another, wow this is amazing, sooooo imaginative."
When in fact any level headed individual knows knows you fooled me once twice and now a third time with your bs lies. Gtfo.
My last fav ninty console was the gamecube because it needed not any gimicks or was it trying to be something it wasnt. It played games and brilliantly so with a traditionalish controller... The days are long gone and after 3 gens this is the shit they are regurgitating.
They even tricked me a 3rd time thinking man this time nintendo has learned from their mistakes and are really going to make something special this time... Only to be dissapointed... Once again.
No, but the obsession with better graphics/resolution above all else consumes tons of resources that could be used for better gameplay
