How The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind on Xbox thrust Open World RPGs into the Console Mainstream

GamesRadar - Back in 2002, bringing The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind to Xbox was a risk, but one that blazed the trail for modern console RPGs.

Although The Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind was a great game for its time, it was not the first western RPG on consoles.

There were quite a number of western RPGs released on PS1 prior.

I think he said " Open World RPGs". Morrowind change changed the gaming world. It was very bold and ambitious even on PC. Has nothing to do with Xbox vs PS or WRPG VS JRPG. To put it in context, Morrowind is still more complex a game than any RPG I have played since. That includes Skyrim, Fallout and the Witcher 3.

I beg to differ

"By coming to, and conquering, the Xbox, Morrowind introduced the western RPG to the console scene"

Broken Games That Never Got Fixed

While a lot (like way too many) games launch in sorry states these days, a lot of them do eventually get polished up over time fixes. The same can’t be said for these properly broken games.

Worst for me is wipeout 2048.
I got gold in every single player race, made it extremely far into the great online shop platinum was a finger away.. then lost all my online progression. Many players experienced the same and hadn’t been fixed since

Cyberpunk and No Mans Sky are obviously the 2
best comeback stories. Cyberpunk is literally one of the best RPGs ever made now.

I wouldn't call NMS broken at release, just under-delivered.

Michiel1989288d ago

junctioning is only broken now because it's been datamined which monster which gives which card and which card gives which items and every single spell to junction with the highest points for each stat. For it's time when that info wasn't readily available it was good, not without it's flaws, but not broken,

-Foxtrot287d ago

Exactly. I never got this because what made it broken was the knowledge of what to exploit.

Playing the game for the first time back then you never had any knowledge to make it so easy.

One minute the Junction system is complicated, the next it's super easy / broken. What is it?

gold_drake287d ago

i mean, ff8 is not "broken" per se, its just that the junction system is too good and easily exploited even an hour into the game. haha

Ashunderfire86287d ago

Star Wars Jedi Survivor is one of them. I can’t get in the Cantina bar later on in the game. The door and other doors throughout the environment is locked off. It is a shame, because I wanted to complete the game, but I can’t until they fix it.
