AggroGamer: "After enough snow to last Mike for years to come, the Aggrocast is back with Episode Sixty. We discuss the epic amounts of snow thrown Mike's way, the Super Bowl and it's lousy selection of commercials. We jump into what we've been playing. Mike discusses finishing Mass Effect, while Binh discusses his current play through and Star Trek Online. Brian and Binh discuss their experiences with MAG.
Bargain Binh brings us J-RPG Goodness for under $20, Brian shows off Turtle Power as he brings us On The DL, and Mike never says die with his Netflix Picks. The podcast ends with a nice discussion on Sequels. We debate over if sequels tend to rehash or offer continuity as videogames continue to grow. We also cover if our tastes change as we get older, and what our own preferences have become at this stage of our lives."
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.
The long-running, free-to-play Star Trek Online has expanded once more - and this time it's the new Both Worlds season that comes to Xbox and PlayStation.
