I know I may b prisoner of the moment and Ff7 has always remained in my mind as the best RPG i have ever played. I assumed nothing would ever replace it because of that time in my life. I was young, staying up nights on end w my two best friends drinking mountain dew and playing a game that i never wanted to end. Until the night of 11/11/11, when i began playing skyrim, a game that made me feel like a teenager again. Games like these happen every once and awhile, fallout 3, bioshock, mass eff...
This year, because of so many great titles, my goty is the one that has been in my console since launch day, and 140 hrs in, show no signs of letting up. While Batman, battlefield, uncharted, and gears sit on my shelf, all i play night in and might out, is Skyrim. There is so much to do that its absurd. It begins to get a little stagnant and then i find a new city or a new quest line. As far in as i am, i haven't yet explored riften, solitude or falkreath. I still have daedric, dragon pri...
There r 16 artifacts and u need 15. It is true that u can screw up 3 of them and not get the artifact so maybe he messed up more than 1. But, he didn't mention losing his saves, so i don't understand why he couldn't just use the hdd, unless he has only 1 save. What RPG fan only has one save, especially in a game this buggy. I'm glad the cloud worked but this seems strange. And yeah there are a few quests that allow u to one artifact or another but not both.
Th...
I love my PlayStation...alot and their exclusives have been great. But, Xbox seems to b very mulching front when it comes to leverage regarding next Gen consoles. They have begun integration as we r seeing. I have mentioned in many blogs that Microsoft has the advantage in being the first to integrate PC gaming w consoles. We all know that it is inevitable. But, Microsoft haa windows and if it could b done for a reasonable price w the right tech, they could offer a 720 PC running a win8 oper...
You r crazy. If u break it down to like the 40 most important quests and use blended cutscenes, not final fantasy cutscenes, but mass effect ones, to amp up the emotion...it souls surely help. Did it help when they added cut scene like animations to kill shots in fallout 3 & now skyrim. Yeah, it did...alot! And the other thing mentioned, that is huge, is you're standing in the world. I love the talk about the dragknborn. If u r wearing dragon armor, npcs mention it etc. More of that i...
I agree with you but put the impetus on Microsoft. I'm sure epic wants to make games right now, but to Microsoft, it benefits them more to hold onto the Samaritan (if its actually a game), but they must keep epics name in the forefront. And as the article mentioned, games like this are popular now. Attach epics name and it will sell. I'm not sure if epic haa a choice to b honest. Who knkows, it may b alot of fun. I love the concept. It better not b $60. Probably Xbox live for $30. An...
Sorry but this article is completely pointless to the degree of absurd. Games aren't great because of their similarity to Picasso or michaelangelo and while skyrim is my favorite game this year and maybe ever, it is a terrible example of originality. If he is trying to get hit...congratulations. That's all he will get. All games borrow from other games. Which games graphics did uncharted borrow from? Which games seemlessly blended cutscenes? Which games had sequences like the train, t...
I hope u r right because this game looks fantastic. While swtor and gw2 made a move more towards wow, i can understand and find no fault. Ppl love something about wow. DICE Creator said that u don't beat cod by making a better cod but by making a better game. How did that work out? They created a better game (in all facets and by a mile in many IMO) but cod broke records again. If someone (cmon west and zampella) actually make a better cod, then they would steal ppl and maybe for good. Sw...
Cmon man! U will see more and more of that as tech improves etc. Immersion will increase. What i would like to see is some great cut scenes like bioware. At certain times, amp it up. Yeah, there are tons of ways to create a more realistic world and it will come but to me the lack of cut scenes and the fact that u can break of from something important for 6 months are huge. I know its open world but there must b a way. For example, when someone says, i have to do research & it may take awh...
You can't deny the path epic seems to be taking on this one title but it isnt permanent. I am 100% positive that this is a stuffer. They will also be working on the next gears-like game for the 720. But, i see horde as being an influence. Ppl loved the ability to build forts and protect them from incoming monsters. This is most likely a different spin on that. But don't for a minute believe that this is their new direction. Its to be a cash getter and filler until the new console rel...
Can someone explain to this Guy the brilliance of skyrim. First, turn down the difficulty if it becomes game breaking. Second, maybe you aren't ready for that fight. 3rd, save. You can save anywhere. I love that all three are available in skyrim. Despite the fact that the world levels with you, you still find difficult enemies you may not be ready for. I love the dogs, but they die often, so i thank them for their service and move on. As far as being a conjurer, the beauty is that even if...
I am a sucker for rpgs. To me, they make all other genres seem bland, uninspired and short...too damned short. While I was shocked by ff13s linear nature, i did still enjoy it. I'm not sure how much it changed but the possibilities of a game like 13 being open world with the existing combat system and amazing quality make me drool. It would be rediculous. I cannot understand at all why they would not simply create a game similar to the old templates. My hopes r up but guarded and with the...
You put into words just how I feel. I work alot but all I wanna do is play this game. It is my favorite gaming experience since fallout 3 and bioshock and will most likely be my favorite game alongside ff7. I am 100 hours in and have easily more than half left. Unlike most games, my desire hasn't faded. I spent 2 hours last night creating and enchanting new armor for my follower and i simply because i wanted to. Then...an hour making potions for money. 3-4hours and i didn't quest at a...
Is he bored this year because this year is also dominated by sequels. Killzone, dead space, portal, infamous, deus ex, resistance, dragon age, gears of war, Batman, uncharted, battlefield, Zelda, cod, assassins creed and elder scrolls. And they were all top quality, a few ranking high on my favorite of all time. Rage was a new IP and didn't fare well.
We have dishonored and kingdoms of amalur next year. And anytime you throw me a new bioshock and mass effect, boring is t...
I would say that they do matter...alot. what would Xbox be without halo or gears? There are many factors that explain the Xbox including the head start with their console, achievements, and online offerings. The price point helped alot too. Ps3 may have enjoyed more success this year from their exclusives had not so many AAA multiplatform titles released and we all know th. It has also become the console of the 14-18 year Oldsmobile, which is a big deal. I am sure that the devestation in Japa...
They should go straight for inox or soon there will only b one console that's more powerful than any PC and it will b made by apple. It will incorporate everything apple and they will rule the world. So its better to simply release the Ibox and prevent future world domination.
As far as cod and black ops r concerned, it will sell 10 million copies on day 1, 8 million paid for by r government as unemployment will b 14%. There wont b a new console in 2012 because activision...
I can't be halo because of the Microsoft ownership. It may be a roxkstar game that has been promised. It may be metal gear 5. Its the "u wont believe" that is strange as everything i can think of i can easily believe. It will b hard to top the skyrim announcement. That was truely something i couldn't believe and one of the best games I've ever played.
I agree with all but number 9. I would normally say to explore on ur own would be my #1 bit of advice. Unfortunately, if u ignore the quest list and just explore, as i love to do, u r going to break the quest mechanic. U r going to gather things u shouldn't have yet and never be able to complete a future quest. They should have simply, for fetch quests, had the item appear somewhere random, only after the quest began so that if u explore somewhere beforehand, it doesn't break it. It i...
I was hoping form that too. I don't care if some animations r cleared up, I want to b able to complete quests. Itisnt as simple as avoiding an area until it is part of a quest because I got an item early while doing another quest in the same cave. There's Horton b a patch that allows npcs to c ur inventory and act accordingly or to recheckur progress and act accordingly.
I have hit a few low points but I think I have broken it up pretty well into different quest plots,achievements, etc. Each time I get down, I begin something I have put off on purpose. I'm 180 hrs in which may b the misting a game since the early final fantasies. I will say though that if i haven't finished it by kingdoms of amalur, it goes on the shelf. Maybe even ff13-2, not sure yet. I was 20 hrs into Batman when my ps3 died or i may have been playing that. I want to so badly but d...
