ARS: When you're creating a game, what type of display do you aim for when optimizing text? We had readers contacting us to talk about their problems reading the text in Mass Effect 2 and, after we wrote a story about it, many more complained of similar issues in the comments. Bioware called the size and color of the text a design decision, and stressed that users should not to get too excited about the idea of a fix. We now have Bioware's final word: the text is staying the way it is.
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.

So I bought an HDTV.
A 32inch HDTV is cheaper than a PS3 these days.
Haha, it sucks to be a bot.
Lol. This is the only thing gamers have to complain about this game. Alongside MGS4 for me in terms of game of 3rd gen.

I'm always surprised when someone tells me they own a 360 or PS3 and don't have an HDTV. It always makes me think "what's the point?" It's worse when someone asks for an RF Adapter...
