XMNR: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for the Xbox 360 quietly received the 1.8 update Friday morning bringing a handful of fixes in preparation for the release of the Dragonborn DLC.
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.
5 fixes per patch that will break another 50 and leave another 150 untouched :P I've received this game almost year ago and after 8 hours of gameplay my savegame got corrupted... I never played it again
Finally!
360 needed this.
Maybe most of the glitches & problems are fixed this time around...
I didn't know people still played this game
What other game in the universe do you not end up doing the same thing repeatedly after say..80 hours? Now maybe the game can't capture your imagination but for some people to be able to play a single player game for over 200 hours and still be enjoying themselves is nothing short of remarkable.
great, I've got over 400 hours of game play in Skyrim
