That makes Skyrim a great introduction to RPGs, as many of the (much fewer than Morrowind's) RPG stats are easy to understand, and you can easily concentrate on what character build you like I'm an archer with lots of related perks and a very high powered bow that sets enemies on fire). I'd never played a real RPG at that point, and since then I've only played Skyrim, which is a great game, but even to me it's obviously very, very simplified compared to Morrowind. Morrowind is supposed to be excellent (according to *many* people), but when I tried it I was intimidated by the millions of stats and gave up.
#Weapon upgrades bioshock 2 series
It feels like it's set in a series of bio domes on an airless planet, due to the tiny areas of each level. And it irritates me how the game does not feel like it's set on Earth. How could a sequel to such a popular and innovative game as DX possibly leave out so much of what made DX so brilliant? And when I play DE:IW it's OK, but leaves me feeling unsatisfied. I think that DE:IW isn't as bad as it's made out to be, but it's not great. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is great, though not as good as the original, and it irritates me that even though DX:HR was released a decade after the original, and for *much* more powerful hardware, the AI is still so limited, the NPCs are so unconvincing (a given NPC will stand in the same place, doing nothing, for example, which isn't realistic at all), take downs use energy cells (why?), the game has no skill stats, etc. I've only played the first STALKER, and it is a great game. Wolfenstein 2009 was great (I've not played the modern one yet, I don't know if it does allow upgrades), I love Dead Space 1 and 2 (not DS3, it (to me) loses much of the atmosphere of the first two, and isn't enjoyable), and I have GUN and The Punisher on the XBox, but haven't played them yet. I love Thief 1, 2, and 3 (don't like the modern reboot of Thief, but that's because it's so dumbed down), so I'd have thought that I'd love Dishonoured, but it just leaves me cold). There's a ton really, but these are the only worth a look that come to mind.įar Cry 3 and 4 are great, Dishonoured is a strange one to me (I really want to like it, and I can't put my finger on anything that I really dislike about it, but it doesn't 'gel' with me.
#Weapon upgrades bioshock 2 upgrade
I'm sure I know of more, but offhand I can't think of any (do the Mass Effect games allow you to upgrade your weapons or your weapons skills? I've only played 1 and 2, and they were great games, but I can't remember if you can upgrade these attributes?).
It's a fast moving third person shooter/cover game, and I normally don't like that gametype (I really don't see the appeal of Gears of War, for example), but I think that Vanquish is fantastic), Vanquish (not really SS/DX like, but it's a really REALLY good game, and the weapons have a sort of RPG upgrade system. Singularity (A straight forward first person shooter, but it's really good, and has some good features, including being able to upgrade the weapons), No One Lives Forever 2 (first person, with RPG aspects), That was and is fantastic, but since Deus Ex's own sequels did away with the weapon skills then it's not surprising that it's more or less unknown on any later games.Īlpha Protocol (third person game, with RPG aspects),īioshock, Bioshock 2, and Bishock: Infinite (I think that if you ignore the fact that these are supposedly the spiritual successors to the System Shock games (they aren't really, as they are so dumbed down, and just play them as first person shooters, then B1 is great, B2 is by far the best, and B:I is OK but disappointing), Hopefully the current trend of simplifying games will end, and we'll see commercial games becoming deeper and more complex, but my hopes are too high.Īnyway, what games (on any computer or console) let you upgrade your weapons how you choose (so it's not scripted, it's up to the player to choose)? I'd really like to see more games use the Deus Ex way, where you both have to upgrade your skills in a particular weapon's class to use the weapon effectively, and also you have the choice of upgrading a weapon's attributes. Every so often we touch on the subject of what games are like System Shock 1/SS2/Deux Ex, etc, and every time I hope that a great new game has been released that has the depth and gameplay of those classics, and it never happens.
