Work, school, family and bodily functions often get in the way of the one thing that really matters: friendship. If your buddies aren’t playing games with you, they’re not really your friends. They’re just people you make exchanges with in a bargaining dance of social etiquette and cost-value analysis.
Without quality co-op companions to play games with, not only is life meaningless, it’s also dismal and disappointing. While most people’s lives aren’t that bleak without collaborative gaming experiences, many of us lament the lack of group-participatory awesomeness to engage in.
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.
Assassins Creed with co-op would be bad ass.
I'd like to add one. Star Fox. OK maybe it had crappy co-op in Star Fox Assault, but that clearly isn't the type of co-op that would make the game great.
I'd like to see online co-op in more games all together. I find it more enjoyable to play most campaigns with friends.
what about Online Co-Op for BF3
and no not those Co-op missions.
I mean having my brothers play split screen Conquest online with me.
Assassin's Creed
Shinobido 2
Devil May Cry (For Bloody Palace)
