I'm enjoying it (mostly) so far. Sword controls take some getting used to once you come across enemies that actually pose a threat.
I really, really HATE, however, the flying/floating controls. The motion controls are VERY imprecise. The whole race in the beginning was a huge pain in the ass, as was the "falling" segment off the giant statue. It reminds me of some of that awful sixaxis implementation early PS3 games had.
But everything else more...
You think? I had a hard time appreciating it due to how horridly compressed the audio was, and how none all of the actors always spoke in the exact same tone regardless of scene.
Apparently FFXII was made with some really crappy, low-budget mics that wouldn't properly record even the mildest of whispers or shouts.
There are still Dunmer in Morrowind... it's just Vvardenfell that's uninhabited. After it blew (and after the Argonians invaded) a lot of Dunmer refugees fled into Cyrodiil and Skyrim (which is why there are so many Dunmer in Skyrim, particularly near Riften).
AFAIK, Morrowind is still uninhabited in 4E 201.
Extra-terrestrial ornithopters.
This. One thousand times this.
Let's see some France. Or Egypt. Post-apocalyptic Cairo could be AWESOME.
But it'll never happen.
Anyway, if we're lucky, Bethesda will pawn of Fallout 3 on another developer and stick to Elder Scrolls titles. I don't think I can wait another 9 years for a good TES game. Fallout may be fun, the the whole dead, gray-brown worlds are NOT fun to explore at all. Gotta have me some lush forests, babbl...
Considering most games only have 7 hours or so of play time total (INCLUDING cut-scenes) this bodes well.
For length at least.
I wouldn't call it a huge improvement. It's a bit cleaner, that's for sure, but it's basically the same thing split into two menus instead of one, with the "paper doll" aspect removed--something that I, for one, really liked.
Rune Factory, anyone?
It's so overshadowed, I still haven't even peeled the plastic off my copy.
Stupid Skyrim!
Stupid Uncharted!
Stupid Dark Souls!
Stupid Ico/SotC!
Stupid Skywared Sword!
Stupid Mario!
Stupid Assassin's Creed!
Stupid Disgaea!
Stupid Fate!
Stupid Metal Gear!
Stupid Catherine!
Stupid Ace Com--oh, wait, nevermind. That game sucked ass.
Most platformers don't have tight controls at all.
The mario games, which are generally regarded as the best, have notoriously slippery controls, and even modern platforming hits like uncharted or infamous tend to have noticable control lag.
Generally, though, these "loose" controls are easy to overlook when the other aspects of the game are up to par. Actually, I'd say that, as much as I love platformers, I've played very, very, very fe...
Nice to finally see someone else helping to fight against the hitbaiting drivel flooding n4g.
I bought a headset once.
Tossed it in the closet a few days later. I think it's still there, if it hasn't been thrown out.
My reasoning? Let's see...
-While communication may be vital for SOME games, it's not vital--or necessary--for most games. And those games where it would be useful? Good luck finding other players who know how to speak, let alone play cooperatively with others.
-Audio quality sucks. Even if other ...
Absolutely not.
But it does afford us an opportunity to marvel at the profound idiocy of building an open-world game like Skyrim, whose plot and gameplay in large part revolves around crafting and dragons, where you can use almost any material to craft almost any item into weapons or armor, where you can forge two different kinds of dragon armor... but dragon swords, knives or axes? LOLNO.
1) Solstheim DLC
2) Blacklight DLC
3) Jehanna / Farrun DLC
4) Dragonstar / Elinhir / Skaven DLC
5) Lusty Argonian Maid DLC
Don't even need 10.
Better a 9.9/10 than anything out of a number other than 5 or 10 or 100.
I really want to punch (in the throat ~and~ face) every reviewer who chooses to score games out of 4. Or 6. Or 2. So bloody stupid.
They're entitled to write their own reviews. To even imply otherwise is... a profoundly ill-conceived notion.
I'd have a lot more tolerance for the twat if he did something witty with the fake account, or if he played it straight, did so to highlight, you know, legitimate issues.
But, no--he just wanted to be an ass in public.
Oh, how the Internet has changed the world. Back in the day, constant public ridicule taught people like this to shut the hell up and bottle all of their stupid down deep inside.
Almost every PC game these days is. But there's a significant number of so-called "PC gamers" who refuse to accept that PCs are no longer the dominant gaming platform, haven't been for the better part of the decade, and refuse to use anything else but a keyboard and mouse.
As for Skyrim's technical issues... there are a few bugged quests (Thorald Grey-Mane rescue is particularly annoying) and a LOT of missing textures in Markarth. Seriously, almost 30% o...
Maybe you'd have a point if there were an isolated incident.
But it's not.
Gold glitch sounds useful.
I've got my house in Whitrun literally overflowing with expensive jewelry, gemstones and scrolls because it's so tedious trying to sell off loot to shopkeepers that don't have the money to buy more than a fraction of what I need to unload.
The only FF game whose voice acting really impressed me was XIII. Really great dub. Almost enough to make up for the absolutely awful gameplay.
