The real question is, why have sidequests that clearly aren't worth doing in the game at all? I mean obviously you can skip them, but how is that a goddamn argument in the least? This is what I will never understand about people jizzing their pants over these open world games...they're filled with tasks so mundane that you don't even want to freaking explore them.
The Souls/Borne series is a good example of this. They stop shy of an "open" world in fav...
If everyone is complaining that the character is in the game...then it obviously DOES matter to a lot of people, doesn't it?
I mean, I agree that it doesn't matter in the least, but if people TRULY believed that it simply didn't matter, then they wouldn't even take the time to complain about it, would they?
That roll is cracking me up.
I guess I'll make the obligatory "second one gets a bad rap" comment.
And ironically....I think a third KOTOR would be in much better hands at Obsidian than it would be at Bioware these days. They have kept to their nerdy, DIY roots so much more faithfully than those sellouts over at Bioware.
I think everyone here is just playing directly into the console war BS, but 4k truly is not as exciting as TV and media manufacturers are trying to sell it as. It is nowhere NEAR as monumental a jump as SD to HD was, and other technologies and innovations like HDR and (especially) OLED have a far more noticeable and impressive impact on image quality. For PC monitors it's more noticeable since you're sitting so close to the screen, but the jump from 1080p to 4k on a standard 40 to 60 ...
Don't let Stubee34 get you down. I mean, I suppose you would sound pretty cardboard if you were reading like...Shakespeare, but your presentation is perfectly fine for something as sterile as a game review. I suppose you could work on sounding a little less robotic and scripted if you really wanted to, but again, honestly....it's just a game review.
@bruce755
Stop acting as if gaming publications are some kind of noble representative for gamers. That hasn't been the case for a LONG time. It has become pretty obvious that a TON of reviewers are more than happy to play the courtesy game for early access to games. So if there is a constant fear of corporate influence, what goddamn good is an early review to consumers to begin with?
I'm not saying that Bethesda is doing this in the best interest ...
@Angeljuice
Yeah, that's kind of what I came here to say, too. Is it not possible for gamers to keep a level head with this shit!? A fedora is not going to magically appear on your head just because you think it might be the tiniest bit offensive to use gravestones for something as inane as an advertisement for a video game.
We really have to be unoffended by this ridiculous display of corporate nonsense because Anita Sarkeesian doesn't like boobs...
It is a shame that your comment will get flagged, because I believe profanity is the only way to adequately describe the stupidity and ineptitude of this company.
Token corporate straw man response...
You mean "stealthy" aside from the the beams of light projecting directly into your eyes?
I will never understand this. Electronics companies know that a lot of people will be using their equipment in the dark. Why is the trend to put little lights on every goddamn surface of their products!?
Personally, I am annoyed by the game because I have taken so much crap for playing Pokemon into my twenties over the years, and now all of a sudden because I don't play this vastly inferior version on my phone, I'm an oppressive asshole when I don't want to talk about how rare Snorlax is for hours on end.
I never thought I'd see the day. Now Pokemon fans are accusing non-Pokemon fans of being basement-dwelling losers. Truly a monumental release in gaming history, this game is.
The naivety is just staggering. I would spout some old fart crap like "kids these days," but honestly, there has never been a moment in history when media personalities weren't able to slither their way out of controversy.
Longtime fans will be good with a simple "I'm sorry" and non-fans will flat out forget any wrong-doing within a month and honestly don't even care enough to do anything about it in the first place, so the media is generally...
Well, you know how it is. When you're a Smash Bros. master, all that high profile fame and fortune that goes along with the lifestyle is sure to go to your head.
...did Reggie threaten yalls families or something?
@Christopher
So when he kept saying that he would use harden, and that it would be super effective...
The sad part is that it is still unethical for a media source to accept bribes (and yes, it was a bribe) from corporations for ANY kind of positive coverage. It sort of just went unnoticed a couple of years ago because a lot of media sources like to camouflage the practice as "sponsoring."
In reality, people are just arguing over whether or not Pewdiepie was asked specifically to (or not to) disclose the fact that he was paid by Warner Bros. The outcry should have...
Yeah, I have noticed that the only time I even bring up that I don't care about the game...is when someone will not stop talking to me about it. A real world scenario actually plays out something like
1. Pokemon Go fanatic comes up to me unprovoked and starts telling me about the Squirtle he or she caught behind that gay bar downtown.
2. I mention that I do not play
3. Pokemon Go fanatic continues to talk about that Squirtle he or s...
@Skankinruby
Bro, you sound like a pretty rad bro. Any chance I could interest you in a serious gains session sometime? We can go out and pound some major beef afterwards, bro. No beef left unpounded, am I right, bro?
