The Backlog: Elder Scrolls III & IV

Default Prime's Charles Battersby writes: "The box that The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind comes in boasts that the game has “Over 300 hours of gameplay”. I presume that the publisher Bethesda considers a 300 hour game to be a good thing, but all I think when I look at the box is I’m going to die in a few decades; I don’t have time for this. When you add in that Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion packs in a good 100 hours of content too, playing these games is like working a full-time job. I bought both of them years ago, but never had a motivation to spend such a sizeable chunk of my precious, precious life pretending to be a vampire elf wizard, or a werewolf thief lizard-man. With Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim out, I no longer had any excuse and I finally pulled these games out of my Backlog. When I am an old man in a nursing home, I shall look back on my hundreds of hours in the land of Tamriel with mixed feelings."

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.

Michiel1989277d 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,

-Foxtrot277d 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_drake277d 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

Ashunderfire86276d 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.
