I guess everyone is being Sarcastic right?
I mean you can make a turd shiny, you can polish it, put some cologne on it...
But in the end its STILL A FRIGGIN TURD!
And yes, I'm talking about Skyrim!
What is it about the Computer RPG industry that makes them spend 50% of their budget on advertising a crappy product, 40% on graphics of said crappy product, 4% on the story, 4% on gameplay design and 2% on creative ideas?
How many times and in how many different "skins" do I have to play the delivery boy? How many times do I have to go around slaying rats of someones cellar?
"HEY YOU! YOU ARE THE HERO! THE PROPHECY SPEAKS OF YOU! YOU SHALL SAVE US ALL! NOW TAKE THIS RAKE AND GO BRING ME 3 loaves of bread...."
FFS!
Skyrim is a dumbed down (for dumb 15 year olds) version of a once good series.
Skyrim is an affront to PC users since they decided not to even BOTHER and make a proper keyboard/mouse port and the whole game feels as if the fact that you dont have a gamepad means you should be shot!
And before someones says "but the graphics are awesome!" well... 2 things... friend
a) Big whoopty doo! Good graphics? Is that even something we care about any more or hold as a standard? Its like say "yea okay the movie sucked but the 3d Graphics on this high profile Hollywood movie were soooo cool". How about some story for Gods Shake? How about some originality? Some immersion! How about some real, immersive PLOT that doesnt have to be 110% linear! And no choice is NOT about joining 1 of 3 sides to see the different cinematic finales
b) I am a firm believer that TOO good graphics and TOO realistic ones are a detriment. Much like when you read a book and love it and then the movie comes out and its CRAP. Its because in reality your imagination is usually (unless you are a turnip) much better than anything they can put on screen. Similarly... graphics that are too realistic in a game... somehow make it worse... it seems to real to be real... hence... fake.
So yea, play your polished, sugar coated turd for now...
I will turn to good old M&B that is not pretentious and does what it says in the box!
You want to use an underused polearm with some style? Double Sided Lance or Red Tassel Spear.
So where are you guys located in strat?
I never go anywhere without my MW Battlefork. Best thing ever. EATIN' SALAD BITCHES
