Bethesda released Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim this last Friday and for those who have yet to purchase the game, NXUS has compiled a couple videos to sway opinion on which platform may be best suited for you. While it may be obvious that the PC holds the crown with superior visuals and gameplay features through the use of mods, not everyone has a PC capable of running Skyrim on the highest visual settings.
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.
*not everyone has a PC capable of running Skyrim on the highest visual settings
Anyone who made a computer in the last 3-4 years made with the right choices can run it near max settings. If anyone is playing with an older computer then that then they probably arent serious about PC gaming.
A GTX 260 runs the game at high settings 1080p with high settings atleast.
the first comparison video is from kotaku. -_-
and the pc version is a beast, i wish i had a goos pc instead of the one i have right now.
PC with ultra and a tweaked INI file is pretty amazing
