I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.
Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
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.
Ni no Kuni's announcement for stateside release was a surprise to me since the DS version didn't make it. Looking forward to that and...
-Grand Knights History
-Xillia
-Skyrim
-Diablo III
-Mass Effect 3
-Disgaea 3 Vita
-FFX HD
-Tales of Graces F
Dark Souls is one of the only games that I've seen this year and said "I must have this."
Is there a release date for Diablo III yet?
For me the #1 is Mass Effect 3 even though I just said in another comment that I'd like a new Jade Empire. Another Jade Empire isn't announced so...here we are XD
Skyrim is going to blow a lot of minds for sure.
Also I think this should be listed as an article because it's not the author's list, it's the voters' collective results.
I'm only looking forward to Skyrim, really.
I will play ME3 just to finish out the story, but the game has long since fallen from "must buy" for me.
In no particular order:
- Dark Souls
- Skyrim
- Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
- Diablo 3
- Final Fantasy Versus 13
- Final Fantasy 13-2
- Tales of Xillia
