Aaron from Leviathyn.com finds a post online about having to deal with people who hate gaming, and realizes he's grateful for a lot of things gaming has done for him.
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.

Playing a game on hard and having to overcome an extreme challenge is very zenlike to me. I almost get a high from the rage I am experiencing. I remember that I raged so hard playing god of war 3 that I got a little dizzy and had to sit down. I was so furious. It was awesome. I did break some shit and threw my controller though. I normally can contain myself but sometimes if I am really emersed I lose control.

I normally can contain myself and remain calm so I can concentrate but sometimes if I am really emersed I lose control.
The only problem I have had from non gamers is the girls I date. My family also dont get it but they dont say anything to me about it. Why the fuck did it repost my edits as a new post
