GamingUnion: "Some people thrive off the obscure in-jokes, cliches and memes the darkest corners of the Internet have to offer, so it's no surprise a tech-savvy audience - such as core gamers - would be subject to more than its fair share."
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.
Ugh, they've been so over used. Whenever I hear "the cake is a lie", it just makes me cringe. So many "gamers" use it to seem cool.
I seriously can't stand "The cake is a lie"
It was clever in Portal, but people using it when it doesn't make sense is so annoying.
i'm impressed a trailer could spawn a major meme. that's good marketing!
I say the cake is a lie sometimes, most get it. I say All your base are belong to us and sometimes a person will understand. But when you want to really screw somebody who likes to act like they know everything about those, just say "It's as useless as the R power up in Contra." If they agree, they're retarded hipsters. R speeds up your projectile speed. That's how I gauge peoples gaming savy-ness. Nobody has passed that test yet, sadly. :(
Most memes are really annoying. People spam unfunny shit all over the place and it's stupid.
