  1. I liked the character creation. I liked the beginning. I liked the concept behind the magic system, and the enchanting possibilities using soul gems.

     

    The boring bits just started to detract too much from the game play. There are lots of fed-ex: the first initiation quest for the Mage guild is to go and find a bunch of mushrooms. Which is fine, except it takes about twelve hours (of real time) to get them ... :o

    Only took me about a half-hour. :-"

     

    I'd reccommend Morrowind, considering that I just started to play it again, and am wondering why I stopped...

  2. One comment...On the second screenshot on your site.

     

     

    "Amazing Admiral, in one day you have managed to nearly undo a project that took centuries in the making."

     

    Am I the only one who thinks that looks ackward? Shouldn't there be a 'was' in there somewhere. Not to nitpick, but I tend to notice little things in game's subtitles...My father is an english professor after all :)

     

    You do have people checking for things like this, right?

  3. Never played Gothic 2, although that softcore porn scene (Which, by the way, nobody seems to care about o:) ) happens to of piqued my interest.

     

    And yes, screw what anybody says. Bethesda shall finish Oblivion, and it shall be good! All shall bow down before it's awesome twitch based combat system!

     

     

     

    Kidding aside, the lack of control over blocking really irked me in Morrowind.

  4. He who hesitates, is lost, Eru. :)

     

    Personally, I loved Rockstar's GTA:VC...at first, but it got old after about a week. There's only so many hookers you can beat to death before it loses its novelty.

     

    Bless them, if only for being marvelously edgy.

     

    And wouldn't these "Peacoholics" better spend their resources on something actually worth the time? Gun control, drugs, war, something having a bit more to do with peace?

  5. Yes, yes they do, Calax. Morrowind and its three expansions are all on the PC.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Is it sad that I had to resist a scathing remark, or a less than subtle picture displaying my disbelief and annoyance? No offense or anything Calax, I'm just surprised is all. After all, the Elder Scrolls games...at least the recent ones, are primarily for the PC...and were ported to X-Box, unless I'm mistaken. If so, please viciously dissect my post, and only talk to me in a thinly veiled, condescending manner from this point on.

  6. Ok, I admit, the gravity gun was great. Just screwing with the Combine's corpses, shooting them up into the air, catching them, doing it over again...or watching them go *blink* and dissapear in that energy field.

     

    :) Good, good times.

  7. Visually, of course, but in terms of basic game play, nothing major has happened in some time. There's a basic formula, and all games in the genre follow it to some degree, before branching off on a small creative tryst that is.

  8. Loving Halo and loving Half-Life aren't mutually exclusive, you know.

    Thus, the hypocrite line.

     

    I agree.  And I'm not biased.  I have both Halo games.

     

    Half Life is just much better.  Halo is the game of the century that people make it out to be.  I'm not saying Halo is bad.  I'm saying Halo s really overrated.

    The biased thing was more in jest, and I agree with you, it is overrated. But the same can be said for Half-Life's sequel. Bits of innovation, building on the accomplishments of other titles...there hasn't been something truly innovative in a long time.

     

    I look at games in terms of Fun, and don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the Half-lifes immensely, but Halo just did it better for me.

  9. And wasn't Half Life out in 1999, two years before Halo?

     

    Halo was a weak imitation of Half Life two years later.

    Somebody seems a bit biased :-"

     

    Personally, I loved both Halos. Both are excellent FPS titles with what I thought to be a great, albeit slightly unoriginal, storyline. The gameplay was repetitive, yet in a good way, level design was bearable, and at first, quite fascinating, there was a satisfying array of weaponry, control was pretty tight for a console game, and enemies were varied enough to keep things interesting. (I love Elites. Oh so very much :wub: )

     

    I've played Half-Life 1 and 2. Great games, both beautiful and entertaining, but I didn't have as much fun with them as I did with Halo. Then again, Co-op pretty much made the game for me.......So many hours wasted blowing each other up with plasma grenades, driving off cliffs, insta-killing one another with a single melee attack to the back, running each other over with the Warthog...I'm gonna cry :'(

     

    Why do people seem to think so little of the story? It's standard Sc-Fi fare, fraught with danger, a bad ass main character, a huge armada of hostile aliens, a ring world...I love it all, and the cliffhanger at the end of Halo 2...as much as it pissed me off when I first saw it, did nothing but pique my interest, and keep my heart set on the next installment.

     

    The music, damn I love the music. There's something about it, and it fits so well with the in-game situation. Sounds and graphics were also top-notch.

     

    All in all...a great pair of titles. 9/10 for both. :thumbsup: IMHO of course.

     

    Did I mention I'm a hypocrite? :ph34r:
