Testing. Is this coming across self-righteous enough up the back there? Can you hear me being all judgemental? Okay. Here goes.
Hanzala from eXputer: "I do appreciate GTA 6, Rockstar, but if I could trade it for a new L.A. Noire or a Bully game, I'd do so in a heartbeat."
How are they lost? You can get L.A. Noire on Steam, PS5, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch and Bully is on the PS5 and Xbox Series too.
Mfs are too sensitive nowadays and would cry instead of being concerned bout real world problems
Whenever gta 6 launch we won't be getting another rockstar title for another 10 years lol but on the positive side they bou to come back n show how open world supposed to be done 🔥
I won't expect any singleplayer DLC like IV's The Lost & Damned or The Ballad of Gay Tony after it launches either
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.
Roger Ebert is really going to lose face over these comments.
Dead > horse
To each his own. If Roger doesn't think games are art, that's his loss. However, the only reason I'd want him to change his mind is because many movie watchers trust his word. I'd hate to see his views on gaming spread to anyone else. It's rather insulting to games to think they they can't compete in the same league as movies and music. Games are as much an expression of the developer as music is for the artist. Developer == Artist.
Can't trust anyone who puts more stock into their opinion on everything rather than noticing they need to eat some carrots and do a sit up.
From Glen Beck to Roger Ebert; all the fatties seem to have an opinion about everything, and in their mind's, they're never wrong. Am I right?
Video games are really just like any other medium. They can be art, but that doesn't mean they are. Most of them are entertainment.
That's not necessarily a bad thing. There is some great entertainment in books, movies, music, and video games. Art and entertainment are just two different things.
Books: 1984, The Great Gatsby, LOTR = art. Necroscope, Harry Potter, Twilight = entertainment.
Movies: American Beauty, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction = art. Anything directed by Michael Bay = entertainment.
Music: Supergrass, Nine Inch Nails, Lacuna Coil = art. Most top 40 radio = entertainment. Tool and Lady Gaga = pretentious nonsense.
Video games: MGS, Journey, Limbo = art. CoD, GTA, Assassin's Creed = entertainment. Duke Nukem, Blackwater = crap.
