I'll be downloading the Guardians demo tomorrow for sure. Hope it's good.

Unfortunately it's not - I rented it, quite bland TBH - gameplay is ok, sound is actually quite good, but the level design is all over the place.. one of those games where enemies rush you and you have to kill them (rinse and repeat multiple times).

It's an easy game too - single player won't cause you much trouble, co-op is fine but with that you'll be done a lot quicker.

*edit*

sorry about that - responded to the wrong thread

TrendyGamers4177d ago

Which game were you talking about?

barb_wire4177d ago

Rise of the Guardians.. someone in another thread was asking about it and somehow (don't ask me how), I clicked the wrong link and didn't realize until I'd posted it.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

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.

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22937d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko37d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave37d ago

"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

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

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.
