Forbes writes- "The problem with delays, however, is that they can look bad. Even if we acknowledge, as consumers, that a game being pushed back might be a good thing in the end, it can be troubling to skittish investors."
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

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.
Poor Witcher, having to share title with Assassin's Greed: Glitch
Isn't this a bit like comparing a fine wine to a cheap beer?
Epic clash story mate.
As the article notes, Ubisoft stock didn't take the big hit it took when it delayed games; but the long term hit to the Assassin's Creed series is likely to be far greater. The thing is, investors don't look long term much anymore, it's all about quick trading (sometimes in seconds, done via computers using algorithms, under no human being's control) rather than looking at long term outcomes. A smart company will ignore what the stock does, and instead look at what is best for profits long term, a dumb company will focus on stock price and eventually perish or diminish until they are smart again.
