GR: "Skyrim looks immensely detailed on the PC. We find out just what the differences are between four settings."
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.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
Not a massive difference, The best advantage easily comes from being able to increase draw distances. Anyway what am I doing on here? Back to Skyrim!
visuals are a slight letdown on the PC platform, but mods etc can fix it.
Some might be spoilt by Battlefield 3 tho :D
Barely noticable difference.
Do you see a difference? Cause I don't see a difference.
I bet 100% that if I were to scrambled the screenshots and ask you to tell me which ones are low, medium, high, and ultra within 30 seconds NOBODY would able to pick the right ones.
If you have to carefully look at each one for more than 10 seconds and go back and forth 2 or 3 times then they are practically the same.
Can't wait to see the mods the community comes up with for this game.
