Well Bioware, I wish you good luck trumping Baldur's Gate. I'm still waiting. ^^
Paradox games are certainly unique but I agree that their titles are not to everyones taste. Still, they deserve respect for being the good guys (and their awesome games of course). Paradox is a fresh wind in a somewhat stale market.
As a white male that eventually will be middle-aged, I was not only born a racist, but also a woman hater, a closet alcoholic and a potential rapist. I don't need to prove what I am through a game, I got the newspapers that tells that on a daily basis.
However, I have not even once uttered a single degrading remark during a multiplayer match.
Yes, fun is not necessary for something to be enjoyable. Imagine if the movie or the book industry had the same kind of mantra. How long would you make it if you could only watch slapstick comedies or read dirty limericks?
There is a full range of themes and motivators besides fun and it's frustrating to see it largely go unused.
EDIT: Sorry, I thought you meant Id's Tech5 engine for their game Rage. If you're talking about Rockstars RAGE engine please disregard my previous statement.
"Morrowind was and remains the better game imo."
I agree. Oblivion corrected Morrowinds shortcomings but failed to keep the stuff that made Morrowind great to begin with. I really hope that Bethesda can mend that with TES:V.
That's right, I had forgot about that. Still, my guess is that they want the console versions to be as similar as possible so if one says no it will limit the other consoles as well.
1. Yes, yes you are.
2. Until you came up close and started talking to them. It still gives me nightmares. *shudders*
3. Most likely limitations set by console manufacturers.
4. You should invest in Skooma and Moon Sugar.
Bethesda has debunked the rumours of TES:V using the Rage engine and with good reasons. It's impressive but it isn't built with large open environments in mind. Also, if my memory doesn't fail me, Rage engine requires pre-set lighting so no dynamic lighting and shadows would be possible.
I'm not fond of GameBryo engine, so here's hoping for an in-house developed engine to suit their needs.
I don't doubt you sir and I could definitely have payed more attention but for all those playthroughs, I seldomly skipped a cutscene and I still don't remember a thing. I don't dispute that the story is good, I wouldn't know, but there's something iffy about the execution of it, if nothing of it sticks. You can only dedicate so much attention before you lose all interest if there's no motivation for you to continue caring.
I'd just like to add that...
Having played through Halo 1 - 3 countless of times, this is what I (think I) know about the story:
Master Chief - Protagonist. Genetically superior.
Covenant - Angry aliens that mostly want's to kill humans.
The Arbiter - Angry alien that doesn't want to kill humans.
The Flood - Intergalactic weird super zombies.
Cortana - A hologram. Gets incredibly whiny and irritating in Halo 3 for some reason.
The story - In the first game ...
Are games getting easier? If I put a question mark in the end of this sentence, will it magically make my ill hidden and highly subjective opinion into a valid question?
- No. No it won't.
People, can we please stop all these fake question headlines for once? It's like you don't even know that punctuations and exclamation marks are perfectly fine ways to end a sentence. Learn to use them dagnammit!
DLC is trying to kill expansions and it doesn't even have a catchy tune while doing it!
Damn straight! Baldurs Gate and the original Fallout series still reign supreme!
I am your troll...
Nah, I just kid. Nice little text though, keep prodding that bear. But I do like Sessler. I may not agree with him that often but he brings up good topics to ponder.
Loved the first game. Hated the second. This looks promising though. I guess I won't write this off just yet, I would love to see Bioshock shine once again.
Rather stick your hands in a tub of acid than play a game? Good sir, I dare you.
Yakuza is an amazing series, so how can we not forgive you SEGA? You keep up the good work and we'll keep filling up your coffers. Just remember that cut content = cut profit.
OMG! One of the characters is the spitting image of a friend of mine.
Those eggs were a lie, Esqueleto. A LIE! They give me no eagle powers! They give me no nutrients!
