A Maxconsole reader forwarded a transcript that he had with EA over the save data glitch in the PS3 version of Mass Effect 2. The whole conversation is pretty funny, but one one of the most interesting things is that the EA rep told the gamer to get a refund from Sony.
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.

That guy was a jerk. He was releasing all his frustration out on poor robert.
did that guy even did what the rep told him?
deleting the game data could be the problem!
Game data is not linked to Saved games!
Game data just consist of games data files downloaded to the hdd for faster load times.
-Ninja Gaiden 3-is sick!:)
This is why Physical media is better.
Sigh. Is this a wide spread problem or is it just a few people making a big deal about something like the few people who claim that the updates freeze up their systems? Gamers whine so much it's hard to tell if something thing is a big problem or not
LOL, EA just ship it onto Sony. From what I know and my experiences with problems like these, the retailer is usually the one that is to be held responsible since even if there is a fault with it, even if that fault was the cause of the developer/producer since the retailer sold on the faulty product. True enough, this case it's Sony but I don't know myself what the law over buying digitally like this is.
Edit @ George Sears: Yeah that's true but usually retailers try and fog you off and say "it's nothing to do with us, you have to go to the manufacturer about it" when they see you don't know your rights / consumer law.
