Yep. For kiddies like yourself with an attention span shorter than your penis who need non-stop "badda-boom!" ... "badda-boom!" action, the TES games may in fact be a bit boring.
For us adults it's a slightly different story. Maybe you'll understand in a decade or so when you're in your teens.
Wow. That was one of the most definitive troll burnings Ive ever seen in over 20 years of internet access. This guy is pro! |

Science Fiction... |

| I took a Science Fiction course when I was in college, and it was honestly one of the most difficult courses I had completed. Science Fiction can be really deep, especially during the "Golden Age". |

Many "FTP" games still have plenty of subscribers. |

| People keep flaming Steam for suddenly having a new subscription service by stating most games are free to play nowadays. This isn't quite true however, as most of them might as well be called free to "demo". Have you seen the restrictions and things you miss out on by not subscribing for most of them? Trust me, most "FTP" games still have plenty of subscribers. |

Darkfall relaunch worth playing? |
Apr 25, 2013, 18:34 |

|
| I loved the open world PvP nature of early Ultima Online and Asherons Call Darktide, and wouldn't mind this type of environment again. However I skipped the first Darkfall due to awful reviews and the fact that there was no skill/stat cap. I don't want to spend 90% of my time training skills against mobs in a "PvP" game. Is this relaunch different? I also read that this game is heavily crafting focused, another thing at odds with a "PvP" themed game, I don't want to have to spend countless hours crafting just to PvP. Is it an actual requirement? |

Lame. Playing off the goodwill created by other Bethesda titles to announce something unrelated. They got their publicity, but they pissed off a lot of people too.
I agree. There was a bunch of hoopla over this announcement, and the climax fizzled. A surival horror game from the makers of Resident Evil? Who gives a shit. Next time just announce it without all this fanfare making people believe its something more significant. |

4D is terrible... |

| Universal Studios has been doing it for awhile, most people hate it. The worst part is when they spray water in your eyes anytime water appears onscreen, its rather disgusting. Hopefully that movie gimmick stays in Japan. |

| 3D films were fun at first, when they made a conscious effort to have things coming towards your face. The Terminator "ride" at Universal Studios was the first good example of this, you felt like you literally had to dodge things flying at your head, and you could reach out and touch a lot of the imagery. Over the last couple years studios have gone away from it, and now the only thing 3D seems to do is make the background look further away, and for actors closer to you appear closer. However, you can comprehend this difference even without the movie being in 3D, so there is no point anymore. |

| Looking forward to the Neverwinter setting *even though Forgotten Realms self imploded*, but kind of holding my breath, as their games to date have been rather underwhelming. |

| I paid $12 for Chivalry and played it 140 hours, huge bang for the buck. Unfortunately I ended up quiting because cheating has become an epidemic. The game has atrocious cheat detection, and nothing is ever done about it. You can report on Steam, but it seems as if the reports just get submitted somewhere where nobody ever looks at them, as I had people admit to rampart cheating for months straight and are so positive nothing will happen that they actually gloat about it. You can still have fun with the game though, just avoid duel servers if you care about fair competition and/or your record. |

In order for an MMO to compete in a region, they have to have servers in that region. No gamer wants to play any game with a ping time 5x higher than it should be. They just took themselves completely out of the Asia/Pacific market, they're done. For many MMOs this would be extremely damaging, from UO to WoW. However....Star Wars. Huge cultural phenomenon in the US, but in the Asian markets? Who knows, they might not have had many players to begin with.

I am glad they are finally addressing this discrepancy. I liked raiding and PvP, however Blizzard all along treated people like they were either one or the other. Any time spent doing one would put you behind in the other. People wouldn't let you into a raid if they saw a single piece of PvP gear, and if you showed up to PvP with PvE gear you were at a major disadvantage.
I think they should do away with any statistical differences between PvP/PvE gear, and just make it cosmetic. |

I think there actually was a new race added in a semi-recent patch.. the Cathar.
After researching, it appears the Cathar were supposed to be added two patches ago, but were a no show. Additionally, Bioware has gone silent on the issue. I was about ready to start playing again, but I guess I'll be waiting to see if they release the Cathar before something else I want to play comes out. *Like Path of the Exile cut-throat league*

Does this introduce any new races or classes? I'm so bored I was actually thinking about playing this again, expansions are always a good reentry point because everyone else is starting at the same point as you, so you arent years behind on day one. But if there are no new races or classes, forget it.
edit: No new classes, or even races. Doesn't surprise me, their stupid decisions are what led this to be a dud, its not like they are going to miraculously start making good ones.

I didn't like having to unlock cards, since it was much faster to unlock them against the AI I did that instead, but it is very monotonous. Plus I like to play on an even playing field, don't want to be trying to unlock cards against someone who has a major advantage because they already have.
I played for FFA, loved it. Despite 1 in 4 odds, I would win over 3 out of 4 of them using some simple techniques. The first, is I always chatted with people over voice. If 3 people are talking, and 1 isn't, I guarantee you the guy not talking gets beat out first every time. *since people are less likely to attack someone being cool with them* The second, is to make sure you are "average", not the weakest or strongest player. So if I had great cards in hand, despite it being a FFA I wouldn't play them until I had to. People love to pick off weak players, or gang up on strong ones, so being in the middle was best. Third, never start a fight, always just respond to them. People love to hold grudges, so if you attack someone early they usually focus on you the rest of the game even if it's in their best interest to target someone else. So using these three techniques, I was very successful, and it made for a fun game.
Haven't played in two years, so I might get back into it with 2014. Did they ever allow you the ability to make your own decks, or do you still have to use the pre-built ones?

However, they're better than not getting the games at all, especially when they've received critical acclaim like Fez has.
Wow, talk about exaggeration. Game had above average indie reviews at best, a spoiled brat developer, and lackluster sales that they were very disappointed with. Only reason they are releasing it on PC now is due to rumors they didn't even make a profit on the XBox release. You're insulting PC as a platform for even contemplating buying this trash. Youre a joke bud, not even worth arguing with. Enjoy your tablescraps. |
