I stopped playing games about 5 years ago so I don't know anything about gaming since then.

age of decadence

The Witcher 3 my fellow negroe

This my friend

Skyrim special edition

The Witcher 3

i've played skyrim

wonder if I can run it on my 2013 processor.

Witcher 3 is the best Skyrim since Skyrim.

RPG's as a genre are not exactly in the best shape.
That said, it depends on what particularly you want.

The Witcher 3 is beautiful, huge, well written, very atmospheric. But mechanically it's incredibly simplistic and shallow: there is virtually no actual problem-solving outside of combat, and the combat itself is largely twitch-skill based anyway. So if you liked the first one, or games like Mass Effect 2, or just want to go explore pretty worlds without any complexity to mechanics, it's great, but if you are more of a cRPG kind of guy, it's not going to be a game for you.
Skyrim and Fo4 are crap, don't bother unless you are the sad case of people who actually gobble up Bethesda RPGs.

There had been SOME attempts to revive the more classic RPG genre:
Pillars of Eternity
Wasteland 2
Shadowrun Reboot series
Tyranny
Planes of Numenera

If you are really starved for the old Infinity-Engine RPG's, you might want to give them a try, but I personally was fairly dissapointed by all of them. They are not AWFUL, they just aren't great either. Each has it's own set of issues, but they all share together the problem that they end up weirdly unmemorable.

The problably most successful attempt at reviving really old-school RPG formula was Underrail. Extremely complex, very classic, very challenging (to a point of being frustrating), buggy and unballanced like all solid RPG's are... It is ugly as sin and really lacking in good world-building or atmosphere though.

Other than that, there is not much to talk about. You might try Dragon Dogma if you haven't: it's awful and amazing at the same time. Otherwise, there weren't that many mid-to-higher-range RPG's been done lately, outside of the obvious and terrifyingly awful Bioware/Bethesda garbage.

There might be more on consoles that I'm not aware of.

>well written
No.

What's up reddit

For a game convention, yes, it really is. The main story is is weaker than in the previous two games and the last third of it does fall into pieces, but even that is still several leagues above the standards of the genre of the past fifteen years. And when it comes to characters and side content - both the smaller subplots of the main game and the sidequests and optional content, as well as the DLC, it's still easily some of the best writing in the industry.

But good jump attacking the actually most undisputable part of the whole post to prove how desperately edgy you are.

Said the kid that genuinely think that being contrarian is the sole spirit of Sup Forums...

Yes.

The only good writing in the game is Bloody Baron storyline and HoS. Everything else is Skyrim grade babby's first grimdark fetch quest filled with "GOTCHA" """twists""".

>c-contrarian!
You have to go back

>Planes of Numenera
you mean tides?

Your opinions are wrong.

At least my taste in video games is on point. TW3 is Skyrim of modern generation. Now I suggest you turn your witcher senses, follow red glowing trail and "adventure" through the internet back to your favorite echo chamber.

I think you could fit in a little more memes and buzzwords into that meaningless statement. Try harder next time.

Yep. So damn forgetable I even forgot the damn title.

Back where? Unlike you kid, I was here for nearly ten years.
Long enough to remember times when games actually matter more than shitty identity wars that you fucking mongoloids paddle.

My favorite RPG since 2012 is probably Pillars of Eternity. I enjoyed that one a lot. Can't wait for Deadfire.

And here we see an average fan of "well-written" games like TW3 in his natural habitat.

>it's six years after skyrim
>crpgs have devolved into 2d asymetric "so much text so deep so meaningful" point and click garbage from the 90s
Literally what the FUCK happened?

>ad hominem

>says he's been here 10 years
>doesn't know that ad hominem was one of the top buzzwords on Sup Forums 2 years ago
YOU

HAVE

TO

GO

BACK

>2d asymetric "so much text so deep so meaningful" point and click garbage from the 90s

Which ones are you talking about?

Literally all the ones that have been mentioned in this thread. All that kikestarter garbage.

Why are you baiting down the bait?
