game consoles, science fiction gadgetIf there are gamers out there looking for the most bang for their online buck go no further then an RPG. Every single time I have started one of these intricate stories I never seem to get to the very end. This is for a few reasons. The first is new game consoles allow RPGs to have some seriously expansive environments. Miss an important science fiction gadget clue or forget to talk to that certain someone in a city, it is a real trek to backtrack. I’m more of linear gamer. I like open environments but it is nice to have a frame of reference. It is near impossible to remember everything in a map that can’t be covered in hours or sometimes days.

RPGs thanks to game consoles nowadays border on a Hollywood movie. The characters are thought out, there are those little things always missed the first time around and the cinematics can blow my mind. They are not a game you sit down and beat in 14 hours. I have a specific RPG that I’ve never beat. It got to the point where something else I wanted came out on game consoles and I just never got back into it. It’s a great one too. Some rainy day I’ll conquer that sucker.
