NO, this makes me rage so hard. TES is all about doing whatever you want to in your own world, without having to worry about other people and how that might affect them. It's sad to see a series that I loved so much fall so far from the golden standard it used to be. Goddamn sellouts.
TES is already screwed -> Skyrim. Its all about the money. Mainstream, what most people want. Doesnt matter if its good or bad. They want it? We make it! Screw the real fans.
They will make another mmo, like we wouldnt have any, lol. Pretty much every single mmo now is a clone. Thats why none of them made me play it for a long time.
Noone wants to do "new games" saying its risky etc. bullcrap! They want easy money.
In the last 2 years, I bought only 4 games. Used to buy a lot more! Games in my teenage years, were worth something, they had a meaning. A big cardboard box, inside a cd/dvd box with a cd/dvd, printed manual + sometimes a bonus like a bandana, stickers, cd audio. I always felt good when buying such games, I knew what I was paying for. The expansion packs were real, they introduced loads of new content. They were released like the basic game. Things called now DLC were free (e.g. Morrowing and its addons, in Oblivion addons were paid - but I didnt give a damn, and downloaded them for free). Games could be modded, and modders did magnificent things.
What do we have now? Game is released in a dvd box, with nothing in it. Just a cd/dvd. Tons of DLC, cut out content, and other crap. Some games cant be modded, even though they could be. Simply developers dont want modders to mod and release their work for free, while developers can do the same, and expect do be paid.
We have steam, origin, and all the other things like that. Forcing us to register the game, so it cant be sold later (of course it can be, 1 account = 1 game, or just whole account). DRMs that drive people nuts. You dont have internet? You wont play, we dont care, its your problem. Everyone is a thief, and its guilty, so we invented such system to control who plays our games. What next? Games can be downloaded through the internet. That may be a good thing, but why the price is the same, or sometimes even higher than the price of the games released in a box?
Greed is destroying gaming.
One day we will have games, that play themselves, or we are expected to push a button every few hours. Everything is becoming easier, dumber, less complex, less sophisticated, etc. All these experts are telling that its happening because players want to. Hah! Im so fffuuu mad.
There were so many good games, and Im just out of the words to describe it.
The Elder Scrolls = screwed
Tom Clancys Ghost Recon = screwed
Tom Clancys Rainbow Six = screwed
Silent Hunter = screwed
Medal of Honor = screwed
Battlefield = screwed
Im still going back to the games released in the 90ties, and in the beginning of 00. I can play them, and I never get bored! Nowadays game have nothing inside. Just a time killer.
