After checking out pretty much everything worthwhile E3 had to offer (besides BandFuse) and bickering about it nonstop, they've finally come to a peaceful agreement of their favorite games at the show.
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
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.
DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.
The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.
I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.
I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.
Just like gameinformer's award, super mario 3d wins over all best platformer!! ubisoft, you screwed up!!! RAY MAN LEGENDS IS DEAD!!! Mario 3d, Donkey Kong,and Sonic, these 3 games will bury rayman on the wii u!! well are you glad you delayed it ubisoft? I played rayman, donkey kong, and mario 3d, at best buy e3 event!! and while ray man made a monkey out of NSMB U, MARIO 3D and Donkey kong, blew rayman away!! and fans all over the internet are picking mario 3d and donkey kong over rayman!! even many of the critics are!!
so way to go ubisoft!! you could have brought the game out when it was supposed to come out back in feb., but no, you had to delay it, and now it's going up against the big boys!! it could have sold well on it's own, but now? microsoft and sony fans, hardly ever by ray man games, origins sold the most on wii, so now you could have sold alot of copies on wii u back in the early of the year, ray man had NO COMPETITION!! AND NOW look what it has!!! I did not care if it was coming to 360 and ps3, but the wii u version should have came out in early march as planned,
now? ray man is doomed, for 60 bucks which one will the nintendo fans buy? a great mario and donkey kong game that are block buster titles, or a small cult following title with a guy with no arms and no legs? yeah and I know which two I am getting!!! YOU BLEW IT UBISOFT, RAY MAN HAS NO ARMS AND NO LEGS AND NOW HE HAS NO FUTURE WITH THE WII U, WAY TO GO UBISOFT!!! GREAT STUPID MOVE!! have you been talking to THQ lately? seriously, way to go ubisoft, 10 years from know you will look back on this and say "Ya know, Maybe we should have stuck with the original release date for ray man legends"... ya think? oh well there is always the bargain bins at best buy! see you there next year ray man legends!! i may pick you up for $19.99!
