In his new weekly column, games journalist Dennis Scimeca (G4, Gamasutra, Village Voice) questions whether Skyrim really is a "virtual world" at all.
Pete Hines: “Truthfully, I still think Bethesda is just part of something that is not authentic and is not genuine. And that shouldn't be a surprise to you.”
A new Skyrim Switch 2 update delivers major visual upgrades, surpassing some console settings, but locks the game to 30fps and introduces noticeable input lag.
That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim lead designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the game's bucket stealth was an unintended feature of the game.
I only see it as a setting, rather than a story. For what that's worth.
In his new weekly column, games journalist Dennis Scimeca (G4, Gamasutra, Village Voice) focuses on one underdeveloped NPC, and ignores all the NPCs that have interesting stories the player can have an effect on, before declaring the entire realm of Skyrim to be soulless. In related news, gaming journalism continues to spiral downward. Phlegm at 11.
Of course, this is the type of drivel that the Escapist has been putting out in recent years. It's a garbage web publication that has apparently debased itself to the point of having to write sensationalist crap that has no real basis in fact. The writer needs to broaden his horizons a bit more, not base his claim that the game is "soulless" on ONE experience.
How sad and pathetic can people get? All for the hits, I guess.
I get it. Skyrim is "soulless"... Cause Dark Souls is much better?
Max difficuly on Skyrim is still only 1/10 the difficulty of Dark Souls.
No one quits an Elder Scrolls game because it was too hard.
Another thing...........it's 2011, would it hurt to implement an online option? Massive world and character creation with no online element? That's lame. Role Playing games are meants for social interaction.
