GameGrin Writes - "A picture has been submitted to us via an anonymous source showing the terrible practices GAME are stooping to to claw in some last minute profits.
In what appears to be a desperate attempt to shift the back log of games cluttering up the storerooms of troubled retailer GAME, in the picture you can see that copies of Mass Effect 2 have had the '2' in their titles conveniently covered over by a price sticker - the low price of £18 to be exact and plonked on the number 1 slot of their chart games display."
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.

Awesome
Although I'm not one for supporting GAME's practices, the red price tag is always in the top right corner of the box. Hell look at Saints Row and BF3 in the picture for proof
As someone else pointed out:
"You have to imagine an entire complex scenario in your mind that relies on multiple circumstances. Mom or someone buys it for their kid cluelessly, the kid already has it, would only want the new one, the mistake doesn't get discovered until days later, etc. Nobody did anything with that kind of weird and specific idea in mind, in order to make a bogus 18 pound sale. Again, unless it was some idiot kid working there, and at that point it's almost like a gag. (And that would only entail where it is on the shelf, the price sticker is in the standard place, as I keep explaining and is proved in the pic above but is apparently being ignored?) Nobody in any position of authority or with any brains, nobody trying to "rip people off" or whatever cartoonish caricature, etc."
Its all rather convoluted.
Lol I'm surprised no ones dropped the joke yet ;).
They're fooling people into believing they have mass effect 3 and therefore will experiance a better ending :3
