Gaming Irresponsibly iMaccapro writes: 2011 is going to be one hell of a year for Bethesda with Brink and Hunted out already that they have published and three main titles due which they announced at E3.
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
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.
Elder scrolls 5: Skyrim my fav
Hopefully there are not going to be any other "Brinks"
whY?
2 really crappy titles and 1 good one is a stellar year?
Stop it! Just Stop! Brink was ok at best, Hunted is decent only with co-op and i have a feeling Skyrim wont have an impact like Oblivion did.
They are publishing Prey 2 and Rage as well. Not sure how good Prey 2 is going to be but Rage looks phenomenal. Still don't think it's "the year of Bethesda" but between Rage and Skyrim alone, they are offering some good stuff.
