DICE 2011: Red Dead Redemption, Enslaved, and God of War III upset at Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences' annual trophy fest.
One of the best things about the Mas Effect series is the companions you meet along the way. So here is a tier list of all the companions from Mass Effect!
To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.
some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier
it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me
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.

Enslaved shouldn't even be part of that conversation, so it's not really an upset. Then again, I found the shooting gameplay in the ME2 demo to be so bad that I probably won't play it until I'm bored and there is a big sale. GoW3's gameplay was more of the same, which isn't bad but doesn't deserve many awards at this point. Red Dead was the total package.
*frowns*
Angry Birds HD beat out PvZ... I am so freaking sad about that. Truly.
And even more pissed that they got even nominated for innovation when all they did was reskin Crash the Castle.
I seem to find myself in agreement with the AIAS' picks quite often. At least with their GOTY picks.
Enslaved and Alan Wake both deserved some awards. AW for best story in any case.
Glad ME2 beat RDR though. It deserved it faaaaaar more.
