Certain game mechanics stick around like unwanted guests. These are ten frustrating video game mechanics that are overdue for an update (and ten ways to fix them).
Hanzala from eXputer: "On this joyous 8th anniversary of the Ratchet and Clank reboot, it's about time Sony considers reviving the originals to complete the saga."
It's not the ideal situation but Sony does offer them on ps plus. I to would just like a big ass compilation on doscto though
Insomniac roadmap leaked a while ago and they are making another, they’re doing the best they can and these games, especially the last two, are master pieces
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.

Don't mind tutorials. They should just be optional.
Hard to believe that they didn't add some sort of storage chest to the Witcher 3
I like the approach of evolution of concepts. The base ideas for many of these mechanics were based on hardware limitations, and they should evolve to the capabilities of the hardware today instead of just becoming contrived and expected based on past usage.
Im happy with the state of gaming, the evolution is good. If you are unhappy with any of this stuff go play a 10 year old game and you will see how much everything has improved. In another 10 years it will be so much better.
I originally read this article and thought, "no but that game mechanic is good in x game", until I realized you suggested they should evolve, and that is the best thing for gaming in general. Create a better auto-save system, a better tutorial, a better minimap, etc. All good
