yeah, i wasn't saying that bethsoft wasn't selling before. but if its true that they've nearly doubled sales since their last game... that still seems like a big deal. thats like what happened between cod 3 and cod modern warfare, and we all know what happened after that.

 

anyway, it doesnt really matter, im glad the game sold well enough that bethsoft will make more, maybe hire obsidian to make one too...

Hm, one of the reasons that I'm avoiding Skyrim at the moment is that I got suckered into pre-ordering Oblivion due to my love of Morrowind.

Then I found it to be a game that while brilliant on many technical aspects, actually was incredibly lacking in soul and fairly uninteresting to actually play...

 

I take it that people are finding Skyrim to actually be an enjoyable game? ;)

Skyrim is a lot better and closer to Morrowind.

 

Don't bother with Oblivion. Or if you really want, do some research and stock up on a lot of mods.

Path of Exile's new beta version came out yesterday, so I just checked it out for a few minutes.

 

Holy Carp, the new skill tree is ginormous!! It was big and spider-webby before, but now...it's like 2, 2.5 times as big. It's totally nuts. Nodes within nodes that shoot to new nodes within nodes. It's so huge it's almost too intimidating to even bother trying to figure out. Jeez...just jeez...

I'm one of those who liked (but didn't worship) Morrwind and did not like Oblvion at all...but now I'm liking Skyrim.

Not that I'm far in, but Skyrim isn't, imo, as entertaining (to me) as MW was, but it's a vast improvement over Oblivion. Kind of depends what you like/want out of such a game tho. I'm not finding the story or characters very interesting, for example. They're not bad or anything, just not feeling it. But ES games for me are almost too big to ever be that involving character wise. The size tends to leave me in a state of disconnect that way. Still, it's a fun game.

Tempted to play Skyrim, but never played a TES game, never like jumping into the middle of a series for some reason. But apparently the games aren't linked so it shouldn't be an issue, so maybe. Right now though, I have to punch through the list of half completed games I have - DD, HoMM 3, Arcanum, Ground Control.

im finding myself not super interested in the main story of skyrim, but i've barely touched it so thats probably normal. i do find the dungeon and wilderness exploration to be very satisfying though, there have been several moments where i really felt like an adventurer, tackling dungeons filled with monsters and traps, which is a feeling i never felt in oblivions horribly designed dungeons.

Well that's neat. Assassin's Creed Revelations arrived today. Apparently the PS3 version includes the original Assassin's Creed, so I now have two copies of that. It also came with a pair of red/green 3D glasses. I'll try it out, but I don't expect the 3D to be good.

 

This is a good month. I don't have time for this game yet, but I'll get right to it when I take a lull in Skyrim. Then it's on to Metal Gear Solid HD Collection's Peace Walker. Never finished that on PSP. I'll say this for Konami, they do their LE packaging well.

Thanks to my new hardware, I could now play through Vault 22 without having to hard reset my PC every 60-120 seconds of play time. After so much grief an almost surreal experience just playing through it without rebooting :)

 

Then I fell asleep across the keyboard and decided it was time to find a proper bed to crash for the night. Work interferes quite a bit with life these days :p

Yeah, I'm not yet to the point of anti-MMORPG crazy yet, but I have been WoW free for months and I'm quite happy. I didn't have time for it which meant that all my playing time came the at the expense of interpersonal relationships or sleep.

 

I'm slowly but surely getting back to where we were in PST and some of the things I forgot in the more recent run came back to me now, such as helping some mage who needs a ruby in Ragpickers' Square. PS:T is the only game to date where I hacked it to find out more stuff and then went in with a dialogue editor to read what I didn't get in the game. I honestly don't think there's anything in the lawful/neutral/chaotic good line I haven't seen already.

You'd have no trouble at all getting into it, they've done a good job balancing the dialogue so newcomers can get the basics but plot veterans can dig deeper and pore over the details, it's a really damn impressive comeback for Bethesda.

Path of Exile's new beta changes equal a much improved arpg game. I like it quite a bit better. Still has issues of course, but much better. The skill tree is still very intimidating. lol

 

So I'm bouncing between PoE & Skyrim a bit. Still not much in the mood for long gaming sessions so it's going slow for both. But I'm having fun.

Having a blast with LotR: War in the North, great action RPG with amazing enviroments and pretty nice combat system :) Slicing through orcs and goblins with my loremaster is great fun :)

Started to play TES: Arena for 7th time, I have never got past Labyrinthian... For some reason, every time, I start the game, I end up there, and then shelve the game for a year or two... and then again I start it from scratch... Always playing Nightblade...

I seriously hate Deathclaws... just about everything else I can reasonably deal with.

 

In a dazzling display of testicular exuberance I pulled out my Pew Pew and ran at them, yelling obscenities!

 

One Deathclaw went down to the Alpha Predator of the wastelands that is Gorth, two Deathclaws, the third and the fourth one too. I was pretty sure I might even have survived the fifth if I hadn't run out of sacrificial companions and the Deathclaw had more friends left, like number six and seven. There has to be a trick to get into that Quarry and back out again. Maybe a combination of Archimedes II and mini Nukes :)

I suck at gun skills as I went the energy weapon way. I've got some decent explosives skills too, but the darn critters seems to ignore most stuff I can set up as traps for them (C4 and plasma mines). I don't know their stats, but I suspect they have a fairly high damage resistance.
