InEnt writes: Most PS3 users would have noticed the Skyrim 1.4 patch, known as v2.03 update on PlayStation 3, went live this week after concerns the patch might not make it until next week thanks to Sony’s drawn-out certification process. Now that the Skyrim update has gone live on PS3 we wanted to take a look at user reactions and run our own tests, which revealed a lot of uncertainty among gamers.
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.
PS3 is running fine after the latest Patch but some quests are not working.
What's with all these broken games lately, dev's seem to be using that 'Make it fast and patch it later' mentality.
Wow Skyrim has been going up and down a bit. I should probably get around to finishing it though at some point since they are spending so much time fixing it..
