Techtorial: Several players are experiencing "freeze problems" for Skyrim after installing patch 1.5 when coming in contact with water (affects Xbox 360 and PS3). More impressions from this report.
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.
The underwater change I think is making it a little hazey as if you had water in your eyes, and the surface was a blue line that only looked realistic when you came back up
Oh and I don't know about Firebolt and Fireball etc but I got a killcam with Flames.
i havent had any probs with it, i play on the 360 and it works great i love the new water effect and the magic killcams are soooo satisfying its aweosome, thanks beth next time dont make us wait so long please!
