how can anyone be excited for this when Dark Souls is already out?

Robo · « **Reply #301 on:** October 07, 2011, 11:16:14 AM »

I was just thinking that. I was hype for this months ago, but by the time this comes out, I'm gonna be sick to death of swords and armor.

I only have enough money for one game between the two and made an executive decision to get Skyrim. I'm hurting right now with all the Dark Souls talk.

well of course this game will be more 'Hollywood', but how much of that shit do you actually need? Why not just replay Fable 2?

Good thing about Darks Souls and Skyrim is that you can buy Dark Souls now, and then buy Skyrim GOTY with all the DLC next year and play the superior bug free version with all the content.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #307 on:** October 07, 2011, 11:40:15 AM »

my ass

they are gonna release cuntloads of paid "content" which wil be on the half price disc next year when this game tanks. Bethesda's marketing morans sent this out to die against El Shaddai and MW3

Comparing purely aesthetics Skyrim looks like its very tightly woven where Oblivion had the feel of things just being placed around like game assests on a map. I mean, looking at the picture of Azura's shrine it looks like she was chiseled from the mountain where in Oblivion its just a statue on a pedestal (if I remember correctly). If anything Skryim's world should be more believable than Oblivion's which leads to that immersion factor.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #314 on:** October 07, 2011, 03:36:25 PM »

I found Morrowind boring.

I liked how accessible Oblivion was but the severe level scaling turned me right off.

Hopefully Skyrim is the first one that I find to be really entertaining for my personal tastes. The video stuff I've seen looks great.

cool breeze · « **Reply #315 on:** October 07, 2011, 04:13:41 PM »

I never actually finished Oblivion. I played for ~40 hours and stopped; I played Morrowind 100+ hours, and both Fallouts north of 60. Oblivion was that bad or anything, but it was really dull. Everything was samey and the landscape was like a long stretch of flatland sparsely covered with trees, towns and dungeons scattered about. The dungeons all felt the same too with boring layouts and enemies. Some quests were fun but eventually it got tiring and I stopped.

Morrowind had a varied landscape with creatively unique dungeons and areas to visit and explore. Just from videos, while it isn't as fantastical as Morrowind's, the land of Skyrim is looking much better than Oblivion. Lots of rising terrain, hills and mountains. Towns aren't separated from the world by giant gates. It looks like a real place.

I don't believe any of the radiant AI stuff, random dragon encounters, branching missions, and things like that yet. Regardless, from the improvements made in Fallout 3 and media of Skyrim, it is pretty exciting. Fallout 3 with swords! It's just coming out at a bad time. I don't know if I should wait on Skyrim or buy it to sit in my backlog. Either way, I don't think I'll be playing it when it comes out.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #316 on:** October 07, 2011, 04:58:44 PM »

I liked Morrowind but the skills/leveling system is more obnoxious than Oblivion and the game world felt cold (not just the art style). It wasn't inviting, at all, and the hooks in regards to guild quests and generic quests did not jump out at you. But even then I really liked its "left to your own devices" philosophy.

cool breeze · « **Reply #317 on:** October 07, 2011, 05:16:47 PM »

that's what I liked about it (unless i'm misreading what you said)

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #318 on:** October 07, 2011, 05:52:55 PM »

Well I really disliked how skills were handled but love how non-inviting it was. Hell, I mean in King's Field 2 (1 US) you're left on some bridge heading towards a cave mouth, a broken tower to your back and if you take a left a giant squid that can kill you in one swipe. I like that sort of game design that's leveled with your intelligence and builds from there, at first, instead of slowly curving upwards.

Brehvolution · « **Reply #319 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:29:07 AM »

I need this game now. I've been checking sites daily to see if it leaked. I'll still buy it day 1, but I just want it so bad.

brob · « **Reply #320 on:** October 13, 2011, 09:38:27 AM »

I didn't play oblivion a whole lot, found it boring and ugly. this looks nice at least. vikings and shit. currently playing Dark Souls so I guess I can wait a bit until this piles up in the used aisle.

Even the faintest hint that this game is structured and built more like Morrowind has me slightly excited.

I'm 80 hours into oblivion, just started shivering isles, which is rather refreshing. The main game does lack variety though.

the more screenies they release, the more it looks like gamebryo. just this time with a really dark gray filter instead of Green, or orange. anyone else getting that vibe?

i'm halfway through that freakin' awesome video for the first time (i'm on a media blackout mostly) though and it's... freakin' awesome. I like the non violent ambient life and such, it adds soooooo much to the game. Compared to empty Oblivion its night and day.

the battle looks awesome and unscripted so far, i like dat

Fun fact: Catherine, Bully, and Epic Mickey use Gamebryo.

It's more that Bethesda game just have a certain feel and look to them. Skryim does use a heavily-modified version of Gamebryo, however.

fomalhaut · « **Reply #334 on:** October 18, 2011, 10:51:02 AM »

BULLY used Gamebryo?

but yeah, Bethesda's version of GB is quite awful, and Skyrim seems to just have that 'sheen' and feel of the last generation. Luckily it's relying on good art, something that Oblivion didn't have. I'm always an art > graphics guy, it's why New Vegas can look decent despite being on ancient machinery

Yeah, this isn't going to be a case of not knowing who made the game, when you play it you'll know it's Bethesda game. That's not necessarily a bad thing, because I like the way their game work, but their previous games have been plagued by a list of minor issues that it seems like their working really hard to fix with Skyrim.

The HD port-up was done on Gamebryo. You guys act like this is news. Didn't we have a thread like a year ago where we finally came to the realization that Bethesda's shitty, broken games have nothing to with the engine they use and everything to do with Bethesda.

Yeah, we did. Which is why there's no reason to complain about them still using an engine that's derived from Gamebryo. What's important is them making a conscious effort to fix the problems that have plagued their previous games.

Honestly, if you want real world results of how the game will run, you'll just need to torrent the game and see what happens. Sites like system requirements labs are only looking to see if your hardware matches up with the requirements on the box and really aren't a good judge on how the game will actually run.

How does your PC run the Fallout games?

Never played them. I can run SC2 on ultra (although I just run it on good), WoW, TF2. WoW is a huge game but doesn't compare to Skyrim's detail obviously
