Witcher 3 is not out till next year mate:) Play witcher 2, it's one of my top 3 games and is an amazing experience. Have you tried Dragon age? thats also in my top 3 although the graphics might be abit outdated the games a blast to play, number 2 isn't as fun but is still a great game, and with Inquisition coming later this year its a good time to play them. I haven't played Dark Souls so can't comment on that but ask Sonneca about that he's a huge fan
RPG's? Try Mass Effect all 3 are excellent RPGs, though combat in the first one sucks a little. Though not an open world as such a pretty open galaxy to explore
I agree Witcher 2 is one of the all time greats for me as well. Witcher 1 isn't bad either and it will help you get into the world of Witchers just in time for the arrival of Witcher 3 and don't forget TESIV (also already mentioned)
I played Alan Wake once.... I though it was the worst game I have ever played.
first of all I didnt like the supernatural approach, it felt like they though "hmmmm how do we make this happen, we need a reason or an explenation..... oh, I know! lets just blame it on the supernatural!" And when they tried to use a little bit about quantum physics as an explenation they fucked up even worse! since quantum physics does not work like that, it is completely different.
But I must admit that the story was interesting anyways.
But the gameplay... oh my god it was boring! you would walk a little bit in a dark scary forest and : what did you know, here are some enemies! wow! did not see that comming! And guess what? THEY ARE ALL THE SAME! you just aim your flashlight at them for a while and then you just shoot them... "but edvin, what about the possessed objects! the ones who flew around!" Well you just dodge them.. that is basically it... The whole game play was : walk a little bit. meet some enemies.. dodge, aim flashlight, shoot, find some ammo and bateries, walk for a little bit, find some enemies.....
The only thing that wasnt terrible with it was how the character read stuff from his novel mid game, But they tried to make a book into a video game wich in this case just didnt work.
I reviewed the game here on this very site
Yes I have infact played those games, I loved them! Especialy fallout3, It has great atmosphere! And I have the GOTY edition, so I am still playing through some of the DLC:s The pit was quite distrubing actually... and I didnt get much special loot from it, even though I collected 100steel ingots (wich is maximum) the only thing I got that i liked was the perforator... anyhow. thanks for the tip!
