Joseph of GAMElitist.com - "Once you’ve gotten hold of a good game there is always one thing you are liable to hope…
That the game will never end."
Announced in 2020, Playground Games' open-world action RPG has seen sporadic updates and departures but still no release date.
You could say the same for any number of games that were stupidly announced during pre-production. Elder Scrolls 6 & Perfect Dark are current examples, Blade is another recent one and in the past Mass Effect Andromeda and Cyberpunk 2077 come to mind.
I don't think this game is in any trouble. For a start, Playground Games are one of the few under MS Studios that actually have a track record of delivering on time and with quality. We got a trailer last year and I'd fully expect there to be something more substantial at the next showcase in the summer.
No dramas here - just another victim of Microsoft's incompetence. They simply had to announce several games way too early because they had nothing else to talk about.
The same thing that happens to any project when you announce it far too early. Perfect Dark, Fable, The Elder Scrolls 6, Star Wars KOTOR Remake...you actually have to, I don't know, make the game?
I'm fairly confident this game will see the light of day, as Playground have released 5 Forza games of quality and on schedule. Think it was just revealed too early.
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
Did I just read this .... ???
Did someone write this ???
This person is waiting for the entire world to hold his hand and tell him precisely how much
sugar he wants in his coffee .
Come on ...... a publisher makes a game so good you play it to death this is as good as it will ever get .
Did I comment on this ???
I understand what the writer is saying and I applaud him for having the balls to say it..
lol this writer is dumb. someone show him that 99% of the games around got 0 replay value and he should stick to them, let the 1% alone
Surely you growing bored with a game is more of a personal thing rather than the games fault itself?
