gggiiimmmppp posted:another fun thing about porting morrowind to a modern engine is that it is 1:1 in terms of size with skyrim and oblivion as-is and you can climb on a roof in balmora and see every city on that coast down to Vivec because they're all basically right next to each other, it just seemed big because you have to walk at cripplespeed until you level up athletics and the areas in between make you go around your elbow a lot fighting cliff racers the whole time i assume by "cripplespeed" you mean normal walking speed instead of jogging constantly like some kind of robot

Last_Ranger posted:Imagine if JRR Tolkein and GRRM and a bunch of cliché fantasy authors all got together and wrote a few short stories but never finished them. It's basically that. No midgets though. jrrt and grrm both have a significantly better command of narrative structure the english language than the people writing elder scrolls, of course so do most D&D and star wars authors.

the combat in this game is really bad. the try to trick you into thinking its normal elder scrolls combat (which is already a terrible idea lol) but its actually identical to every other mmo except instead of clicking on a monster you just automatically target whatever is in the front of the screen. There's also a block button but it only does anything against specific attacks with a very obvious casting period as far as i can tell.

maybe it gets better later but so far FFXIV's combat feels more dynamic than this bullshit and it's an unapologetic EQ clone

I wont be surprised if ESO makes a decent bit of money because its following the modern western MMO strategy exemplified by SWTOR. It's from an established brand and has a lot of half-baked poorly designed features that they can make look good on the back of a box or a game review: Large world, tons of sidequests, "exploration", "deep" skill customization, voice acting, etc. Since every burnt-out WoW player and their mom buys every single new MMO that gets a big retail release, they can make all their development costs back from charging $60-$80 upfront and investors will be happy even if 90% of the player base quits after a month or less. e: I was going to try streaming this shitheap again but the login queue is an hour. oh well rainy day fucked around with this message at 00:08 on Feb 9, 2014 |

Lumpy the Cook posted:just wanted to reiterate how weird it is that a sub based mmo is coming out in 2014 FFXIV came out last year and has a sub. Wildstar is coming out later this year and has a sub. The only reason f2p has been common lately is that there have been tons of really lovely mmos (like this game) being released and going f2p drastically lowers the bar since it opens the game up to dumb teenagers with no taste. If someone actually makes an MMO that's not a gigantic pile of poo poo they'll probably be able to get away with a subscription model.

stoutfish posted:nope because there wouldn't be enough content to keep people playing They haven't lately but WoW used to have a pretty good rate of content. There will never be enough content to please hardcore poopsockers but parceling out content at a rate that works for semi-serious players who also have lives is doable.

GreatGreen posted:I think Skyrim was successful not because the marketing campaign was "man fights dragon in snow" but rather "you can be a goddamn Viking. And by the way check out how bitching these trees and mountains look. And you can mod in literally anything. And remember that one time when we made Morrowind." most of skyrims sales were on consoles so modding was not actually a big selling point. you are seriously underestimating how vacuously stupid gamers are

i like how they call altmer "high elves" 90% of the time because apparently calling them what they're called in every other game is too confusing for their target audience. MMO makers know their audience is dumber than a pile of bricks, that's why this kind of poo poo gets made.

Rapdawg posted:It is sad because some good fantasy or really any cool fictional world should have some lore that is unclear because all we know about it is hearing things from different people who are all unreliable- The World of Darkness says in the good books that basically if you are running a Vampire game and own all of the Werewolf books that most people should have no idea if they exist and that those who do should get some things right and some things wrong. the actual elderscrolls games had some of this to, retconning cyrodil to be 1400s britain as envisioned by people who've never studied history or been to britain is not one of those examples though.
