The Witcher 2 was a radical upgrade from its predecessor, and introduced several narrative intricacies that other RPGs (*cough* Mass Effect 3 *cough*) could seriously learn from. A vast improvement in nearly every facet, The Witcher 2 brought a dark and mature narrative coupled with a unique combat system to give hardcore Western RPG fans a true classic. So, where can CD Projekt RED go now? With the game’s few flaws addressed in the Enhanced Edition that was released earlier this year on Xbox 360 and as a free download for PC, it’s hard to really imagine what the dev team could bring to the inevitable sequel. However, with a little thought, a few things do come to mind….
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.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
Daman Shelley from NoobFeed writes - Dragon's Dogma is truly a one-of-a-kind game, and there really is no other game like it, but there are a few that come close. Whether with their fantasy settings, the ability to climb mountains, or just with the overall same charm as Capcom’s iconic RPG. Here's a list of games that will hopefully scratch that Dragon's Dogma itch.
I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.
I have no issues filling my time til DD2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will probably me more than enough.
More terrified I won't be done in time.
Try not to burn yourself out before the game releases. This is going to be a long and immersive RPG like the first one.
The games in this article are all great and I believe the people who are excited for Dragons Dogma 2 probably already played most of those games.
For now, I recommend you prepare yourself for long play sessions if you will be picking up Dragons Dogma at launch.
MOAR frames per second! XD Witcher two rean fine on high end rigs, but there was no tollerance for anything below a midrange rig, it would shred you computer to pieces. Just a though, a little scalability :)
It runs great on my overclocked HD 7850. Im sure they can optimize the engine more for The Witcher 3, but I also want them to push the graphics even further. The Witcher 2 is my go-to game for eye candy. Luckily it is also an amazing game in every other way.
Maybe they will put iit on consoles first so they can actually make some moaney.
Now, how fair is it exactly to compare a PC RPG franchise (thus bigger audience) to a dedicated console trilogy (that could have been Xbox exclusive) that actually managed to cram 3 AAA titles into the same console generation?
Hopefully BioWare does learn something, and hopefully that something is let the franchise and UE3 development die. To clean up the way they make 3D games before making another one. And about the only thing I hope they do in the short term is re-release the entire trilogy on Wii U, but that's not going to happen. After that I'm hoping they put whatever money they are getting back from the first arc into a new IP or a second arc in Unreal Engine 4 (unless the plan is to switch to Frostbite 2, or Cryengine 3).
