Updated March 11, 2022 by John Charron: Western RPGs are only getting more and more popular with each passing year, as gamers across the board are exploring the best video game developers have to offer. Lush worlds, alluring quest lines, and killer gameplay make the best western RPGs the cream of the crop. But, as with many RPGs, there is still the looming threat of a slow beginning. Tedious or boring plot lines, monotonous grinding, or off-kilter pacing can make the intro of RPG games feel more like work than a video game. Nevertheless, getting past those first rough few hours is a badge of honor for many gamers once they get into the rhy

Beyond Good and Evil 2 has become something of a white whale for gaming fans. Every so often, Ubisoft shows some footage or gives a development update on the project, and then it disappears for sometimes years at a time. While it's unclear exactly when its development started, Beyond Good and Evil 2 has been in the works for well over ten years at this point but still seems far from being finished. With the September 2020 departure of its director Michel Ancel as well as accusations of abuse in the workplace, Beyond Good and Evil 2 still appears to be struggling in its developm

The Red Dragon unleashes a stream of lightning fast rounds into foes. It comes equipped with the Lucky Charm and Devastation augments. While the Lucky Charm augment was covered in the previous entry, the Devastation augment inflicts causes its user to inflict increased damage on oppone

To be incredibly brief, the first episode of Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan is about one incredibly lucky man who deserves absolutely nothing, and tells Rohan all about it whilst sat in a confessional booth. This man meets a homeless person, then promptly treats them like garbage, putting the starving man to work, and swiftly killing them with some literally back-breaking labour. The only upside to all of this is that he is now forever cursed by an antagonistic Stand that swears to take revenge at the happiest point in the man’s l

The last anyone's seen of the game was a gameplay showcase in 2019, but little word on when the game will be done has come from the studio in quite some time. Ubisoft has plenty of other games already confirmed to be showcased, so, unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's much new information about Beyond Good and Evil 2 at E3 2

The pairing of an incredibly rate of fire and an augment that shreds through foes, The Red Dragon absolutely has the highest damage-per-second potential of any ranged weapon in the game. This magnificent pistol is acquired by scoring 175 points at the Westcliff Shooting range, which is no easy feat to compl

The Enforcer comes stock with the Barkskin and Lucky Charm augmentations meaning that wielding the weapon you will take significantly decreased damage due to the nature of stacking two defensive augme

Taking the body of his daughter, the Stand returns, plunging her young fingers into and through the skin of his neck before giving him a challenge that can, possibly, save his life. Flick a piece of popcorn high into the air, above the nearby streetlights, and then catch it in his mouth, three times in a row. Failure results in him losing his head. He fails, but that’s not really the point here: what fascinated me was the popc

The Rising Sun weighs in with a damage characteristic of 61, which again, is slightly worse than its master-tier cleaver counterpart making it a decent early-to-mid covid-19 game development option. This axe should be acquired if the player plans on becoming a true hero of Albion, although its augmentation, Righteous Violence, is quite niche and only works against a handful of truly evil enem

The Daichi's augmentations enable its user to deal additional damage while imbuing attacks with electrical currents, not to mention, it also makes its user irresistibly beautiful. It is absolutely worth the dungeon crawl to acquire the Daichi and its damage cannot be effectively replicated by any other combination of weapons and augme

There's nothing fiercer than a giant purple gemstone fixed upon a winding hilt to satisfy the players monster slaying needs. The Hammerthyst is one of the easiest legendary weapons to acquire in all of Fable II enabling an immediate early-game power spike after its acquisit

Every time E3 rolls around, a certain excitement is felt throughout the entire gaming industry. Studios are excited to show what they've been working on and gaming enthusiasts are able to see what the future of video games looks like. While that excitement is certainly felt across the board for anyone who loves games, there's also a little disappointment after E3 ends each year for those hoping to see a specific game that turned out to be nowhere to be found. There's plenty to be seen next week at E3 2021 , but there's bound to be a few big games that skip the confere

The Stand throws the bag of popcorn at the man and tells him; "You can see your destiny through a trivial, little thing." The task is trivial, yes, but the stakes are high, and the popcorn is emblematic of everything this man is. He’s a corn magnate - as ridiculous as that is - and this symbol of his success is also the harbinger of his undoing. It feels to me like a postmodern Aesopica - Aesop’s Fables - and the untimely undoing of once humble, but often selfish characters within. When a goose lays golden eggs the owners slice it open in search of gold surely hidden inside, only to find nothing. This unrivalled greed has always been an undeniable sin, but it takes on a different flavour when under capital
