From Analoghype.com: "2012 is in the books, and while it was an amazing year for gaming as a whole, there were a few situations that made me sad, angry and/or downright disappointed. We’ll be spending way more time on the good things that happened in 2012 with my Top 20 Games of the Year, but for now, here are the Top 10 Biggest Disappointments of 2012"
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.
Vita? Again? You realize the ps3 started out like this too? It's going to be super successful. Take it off the list.
Oh surprise , surprise Vita is on some trolls 2012 disappointments list. What an edgy thing to do , nobody has done that yet. It has become blatantly obvious at this point that the media is trying to kill Sony and this only further proves that. Sony is also not having financial problems as the media would like you to believe. They are one of the biggest companies in the world so they are doing just fine. Everything gets overblown for clicks and thats all there is to it. I am getting tired of N4G putting a spotlight on these TROLL articles and would appreciate if they would stop in the future.
