PC Mag: I'm a bad gamer. I still have yet to beat The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, despite putting 30 hours into it. I'm still playing, and I've enjoyed it, but I've barely touched the main quest beyond learning how to throw people off cliffs with my voice. I keep getting sidetracks and distracted. I also keep seeing bugs.
My playthrough of the PlayStation 3 version of Skyrim hasn't been as bug-filled as others', with reports of ruined save files and backwards dragons, but I've encountered my share of bugs. These type of glitches are common with expansive Bethesda Softworks games, though.
Warning: There are a few spoilers with this list.
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.
Some of this sounds kind of bs, worst I have seen is lag her the game freezing up.
360 I seen being at a lower level it throws things 5 times your level at you.
