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.

so you get to make only 6 choices to make. dman thats alot of goodness missing.
yeah tiny choices i made in the first game came back to bite me in the ass in the second one. But i love punching out that reporter twice she remembered me knocking her out so i did it again lol. And if shes in the 3rd game im gonna knock her out again lol.
Man i hope i get rex back in the 3rd game grunt was cool too maybe i can have a squad of dual Krogens. And since Rex is one of the last Krogan battle masters he has some biotics as well since my shepard is a pure boitic. And for you guys that play soldier stop! That's boring as crap lol.
Walkthrough for a comic... A comic with only 6choices... Laziness much?
There is so much missing in the comic:
- No Geth explanation
- Why Cerberus is evil
- The whole Turian quest where you had to decide to rescue or kill the people there
I really recommend to play ME1 on PC or 360
Yeah like how i blasted the guy who tried to blackmail me i still dont know what happens in ME1 if you let him live lol.
