DHGF: Gaming companies, in general, are missing the boat when it comes to PC players, and honestly, I can’t blame people for swapping to console when all we seem to get is disappointing port after disappointing port. Some companies do actually take the time to optimize for PC, and my hats off to them. I like being able to tweak my graphics options and have my keyboard and mouse actually make things happen on the screen. They are a pretty basic way of inputting information into a computer and have been the standard in home computing for awhile now. Programming a game to use them properly should not be hard at this point. While I like having the option to use a controller, it shouldn’t be the better way to play a game on PC, it should be an option, like turning off anti-aliasing or cranking the textures and shadows all the way up.
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.

Once I realised that it's better to gust use the keyboard to navigate menues in Skyrim I started liking it more, not the only problem I have is the lack of sorting options and those confirmation dialogs that force you to use the mouse I mean WTF you make it so the interface is really crap with the mouse forcing you to use just keys then put up a dialog for crafting etc that can't be used with the keyboard?
