i keep forgetting that most games get funded by idiots who convince themselves that every game that they haven't played yet will be good and is definitely worth preordering/kickstarting/getting emotionally attached to

i like how their newest attempt to get people excited for the game was revealing the celebrity voice cast

because why pay 100 voice actors $10000 to say 1000 lines each, when you could pay 10 voice actors $100000 to say 100 lines each

sorry my bad the newest thing was actually revealing they hid a tenth playable race behind a special edition preorder paywall

e: and that you will be able to play as any race on any faction if you get this rofl what the gently caress

instead of making a lovely mmo why couldn't they borrow from borderlands and add four player coop for the next game, that would be a way better idea than a wow ripoff

I don't think anyone working on TESO sees anything wrong with it.

And I don't think attendees for the launch party will be murdered, either.

i played it for an hour and then the game crashed.

okay it's a beta. main takeaway is that it's okay, i guess? i haven't played an MMO in years so it might seem more fresh to me than the video game burnouts complaining about it. i don't really have any reason to hate it.

it's like "star trek into darkness" applied to video games. solidly professional escapism, straight-down-the-middle fantasy roleplay. it looks good but it's also a cheap popcorn date. it mucks with the lore a bit. but a) who gives a gently caress? b) it's a video game.

SunAndSpring posted:

The lore of The Elder Scrolls is being pissed on. The titular Elder Scrolls are used as Capture the Flag buffs. Argonians are acting friendly to their former slavemasters, and Dark Elves are letting a Nord into their most sacred city despite the fact that Nords have done nothing but raid their homeland since they arrived on the continent. The Aldmeri Dominion exists years before it should. Imperials are worshiping Daedra.
oh no! meh. most people don't care about any of that poo poo. remember this is a game that has extra-dimensional beings invading through portals and cat people.

I'm just going to assume you were in fact bullshitting an intentionally shuffled the heroes and games up.

how so? you were the reborn nerevar in morrowind, who was a god. in oblivion you were just some random dude who helped the emperor, who was the actual hero of the story and you were just his sidekick. then in skyrim you were the dragonborn, who wasn't a god either.

I thought nervararar was just dragonborn-teir. Isn't there some crap about nevs being literally dragonborn as well?

Anyway this is gay crap I just want them to make a good game, TES has a lot of squandered potential at all turns

rumors indicate next TES will be
  1. All of tamreial
  2. You work to instate draginborn from skyrim as new emperor
  3. fight against thalmor a lot
sounds like bullshit I dunno. cant get any confirmation for anything

SWTOR was amazing, especially the part where the part of their site where you could cancel your sub "crashed" on the day that everyone's first free month was up, forcing thousands of virgins to pay more money for that game.

kinda legit surprised the tumblr videogames crowd haven't jumped on the fact that the big bad is literally "The God of Rape" in the lore and basically raped all the (original) vampires into existence along with also raping anyone who -really- wants his boon

I don't imagine that'll be in the promo material: "JOURNEY TO COLD HARBOR, DEFEAT THE LORD OF RAPE"

Also he looks like a blue Diablo now I guess??

nobody who has ever played a TES game thinks this is a good idea, so basically just people who heard that skyrim was a successful rpg but know nothing about it and have stock in whatever shithole dev studio is making it (it's not even bethesda, they licensed it out)

I think a lot of people who don't understand that TES was successful because it wasn't an MMO game think this is gonna be really good but then they'll play it for amonth and be like wait this is dumb and leave.
