With the first person shooter taking over the gaming industry, a lot of people have started believing that the RPG genre is either dead or casualized to the core. However, 2012 seems to be a year that’ll be nothing short of paradise for all RPG fans. So many Role Playing Games have been announced for this year, and they all look awesome. So here’s a list of 10 upcoming RPGs to look forward to this year.
Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.
He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
I remember when the Nintendo Seal of Approval meant something.
All those games had to release without bugs.
This Canada Day, explore our homeland with the best video games that have adapted or reimagined the Great White North in digital form.
Why is ME3 on this list?
Its JRPGs, RPGs made in Japan, that has a problem with HD consoles. Western RPGs - aside from being overrated, something that's been accepted rather than advanced - are in any real difficulty.
Im getting:
Ni no Kuni
Diablo III
Tales of Graces f
Xenoblade (U.S. release)
potentially
Guid Wars 2 and Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning also
who said RPG's are dead?
Xenoblade and The Last Story
Both of those games will likely put most other JRPGs to shame. Though that should not be too hard to accomplish this generation. Lets hope we get RPGs next generation on the same scale as games like Skies Of Arcadia.
