1 every page? You ain't getting my clicks!

In terms of new comers depends cause there are lots of types of rpgs sounds silly but sky's of arcadia is a great starting rpg I think.

webmednet3534d ago

Well the article would be a bit long all on one page don't you think? ... But you haven't bothered to read it so you don't know...

zerocrossing3534d ago (Edited 3534d ago )

A lot of people feel like splitting lists up to one item a page is just the author trying to maximise clicks. I know that's not always the case but, you have to admit it can be a little tedious having to open a new page to see the next item.

Also, I wouldn't use the "But you haven't bothered to read it so you don't know." argument. It just comes off as you're trying to goad people into clicking through all the pages.

Best thing to do with any list this is to keep explenations short and to the point, and if you really need to make a new page try to put at least five games on one page.

webmednet3533d ago

I understand your point, and I know it is not convenient for some, but if we did not split an article like this over multiple pages we would never get the investment back that we made on the piece. We pay our authors, we think, well for the work they do and consequently we need to do what we can to make the piece economically viable.

It's a chore to navigate on mobile.

webmednet3533d ago

Thanks for the feedback, we'll be working on something better for mobile shortly.

equal_youth3534d ago

for newcomers pokemon works best :D

PiNkFaIrYbOi3534d ago

Wouldn't say that, though we don't really consider Pokemon to be an rpg. But to each their own and stuff.

Stoppokingme3534d ago

The author sounds like a RPG newcomer.

Bhuahahaha3534d ago

if ill recommend a rpg/jrpg to a newcomers, for starters i would only recommend the ones thats on the previous gen (ps3/360 and wii)then if he/she is now accustomed to what the genre are then i would suggest what's the must have

my reason
well if i just go straight and say play this ps1 classic
he/she might be easily turn off or lose interest instantly
.
especially in this generation most gamers that havent had the slightest idea what the jrpg genre is, most are accustomed in fast pace action battle system and the flashy graphics

Jubez1873534d ago

Ehh, you don't play your instrument when you start taking lessons, you don't start cooking the first day of cooking class.

I would bring anyone up on SNES/PS1 jprgs. If they can't appreciate the old stuff, then don't even bother. Not to mention, aside from FF, JRPG's generally have okay-at-best graphics.

Bhuahahaha3534d ago

ill say it again for me its best to let them adopt slowly.

what happen when you pour a cold water in a glass of hot water?

PiNkFaIrYbOi3534d ago

JRPG's is just a different art style it doesn't make the graphics better or worse. It all depends on what you prefer.

You seem to prefer WRPG's graphics, whereas we prefer JRPG's graphics.

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto8h ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno8h ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai8h ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 12h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 9h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast15h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 8h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast15h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon1d 3h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast15h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon5h ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake8h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast7h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.

What Made Fallout 3 One Hell of a Game?

Bethesda's post-apocalyptic RPG remains an unabashed classic, more than a decade and a half on from its launch.

For me its the fact that I could put hundreds of hours into it and still find areas I missed in my earlier runs. It was also my first FO and despite what I had to put up with at times such as overall crashs and killing my orginal PS3 with the YLOD it's still my favorite entry to this day.

-Foxtrot4d ago

Tons of reasons

But my silly little one…hunting for unique weapons and armour

Something Fallout 4 just didn’t really have as much because they replaced most of it with randomly generated customised weapons. Even Elder Scrolla doesn't do it as well.

Yui_Suzumiya3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

I remember during my first playthrough of Fallout 4 back in 2015 I somehow got an automatic combat rifle that shot explosive rounds by defeating a legendary creature. Unfortunately that was the only playthrough I ever got that weapon. It's a shame because it was absolutely epic!

Vits3d ago

Sense of exploration. That was why older Bethesda games were so good. They might have had glitches, broken mechanics, meh visuals, etc., but they were some of the best around when it came down to the sense of exploration. You could go wherever you wanted and you would find something cool; it might have been a faction, a weapon, an enemy and much more. And that is what they are lacking now. Skyrim still had a lot of that, but Fallout 4 dropped it by focusing on an interconnected world and more randomly generated rewards. Fallout 76 just kept that trend and added multiplayer, and Starfield went even further in killing it by creating a whole universe with parts completely isolated from each other.

EazyC3d ago

I think the retrospective of Fallout: New Vegas' existence has somewhat diminished the view of Fallout 3 in the eyes of many, but it getting out of the vault in Fallout 3 was, for me, the most remarkable experience I've had in a videogame.

I was 12 when it came out, and I remember I just saw the score it got in Gamemaster magazine (remember those!? 😅), and I just went to the shop and bought it with my pocket money.

Not knowing anything about the game, I thought the whole thing was going to be about growing up in a vault, especially given that I'd spent about 2 hours in it....I literally could.not.believe it when you got out and it was just this wasteland on every direction. Amazing.

Tody_ZA3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Probably because these Bethesda games were hand crafted so that exploration meant something. Unlike Starfield where this sense of exploration is replaced with the illusion of scope and procedurally generated worlds. A player can always appreciate when they wonder into an unforgettable new encounter by accident or stumble across a new questline that becomes their favourite. Just like a player can always tell when they're ploughing through filler on auto pilot, that they'll forget the moment some resource numbers go up and nothing worth remembering occurred.

I mean, in Fallout 3 you could nuke an entire town as a SIDE QUEST. In The Elder Scrolls Oblivion and Skyrim, the Dark Brotherhood questlines were my favourite in any RPGs and you could completely avoid them if you didn't care for them. In The Witcher 3 side quests take you on ridiculously dark and mysterious storylines that are some of the best I've played in RPG history. There's a reason why people still talk about KOTOR to this day. Difference between a developer creating something or just padding a game world with stuff.

Fist4achin3d ago

There were some side quests that could yld have been developed into an entirely separate game. Some great writing there.
