The same can be said about Call of Duty: Ghosts; a next-gen title that looks worse than a number of current-gen games. And while we are still waiting for the next batch of next-gen titles, we can all take a look at what Skyrim modded looks today on our platform."
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.
The Landscape in Skyrim looks totally amazing, there's about 7-8 Mods that I have which makes everything like to close to being life like, it makes me want to live in Skyrim! lol.
And this is why I love PC gaming. It's not about just having the latest and greatest at as high a fidelity as possible. It's just as much about digging into those past games and revitalizing them years and years down the road.
Can't see why Bethesda would rerelease this for next gen console with a lot of the mods and pay the modders a large percentage of the profit as a thank you for extending the life of the game on PC.
It's so much better than the attempts bigger publishers have done with tomb raider for instance.
You need at least a medium-high PC to play Skyrik with Enva and 4k textures and have the game run smoothly
i didn't fall for skyrim's charms, sure it's a great game though. i'm really excited for witcher 3
