I didn't play Morrowind until like 2014 well after both Oblivion and Skyrim and I will defend to the death that it is better than either. Nostalgia is not the explanation.

Oblivion is also better than Skyrim fyi, and this is because Skyrim is bad.

If it kept track of my hours I probably put 4-5 months into Morrowind. An HD remake would hold up very well. Skyrim is good stuff, and I liked Oblivion.

FO Vegas is awesome, wish Bethesda would let Obsidian make another FO game using the FO4 engine.

skyrim is alright but morrowind had better exploration, rpg elements, questlines, art direction, poo poo even the npcs were better even though they didn't have voice acting. skyrim had better combat and that's it.

Every semi-recent PC RPG got shittier because they tried to tailor it to console players.

also the dragons in skyrim were the lamest poo poo ever, they were boring as gently caress to fight against and were straight-up busted to a degree unseen even in elder scrolls games when skyrim first came out. considering how much they were hyped, it's pretty shocking how much of a nothing they were.

a high point in my pitiful life was getting to level 50 of horde mode on Gears of War 3. Usually all my teammates would bail around level 20. Gears of War 3 is up there IMHO

I was thinking about doing a crazed stupid barbarian axeman replay of skyrim but i'm at a loss on how I'd kill dragons without putting all my skills in archery like list time through.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Bloodborne? Or maybe Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.

Commander Keen was totally awesome, both trilogies. The franchise deserves more recognition for it's huge advancements in tech and gameplay on PC. It baffles me they haven't made any more games, one way or another.



Sticking with Doom though.

Incidentally voice acting and gameplay are very important to me

Otherwise i might as well read one of those adventure books where you choose your own path

if to you, gameplay just boils down to combat and nothing else, you should not be playing elder scrolls games because all of them have really bad combat

No joke, I was seriously considering starting up a website a few years ago called 'Wrecking Crew is better', and I would pick a thing (doesn't matter what, literally anything) and describe how Wrecking Crew was better than it. I didn't end up doing it because it's more like a 'funny for 5 seconds' idea, plus :effort:

while wrecking crew is not my personal pick for best game ever, it does own extremely hard and i can't in good faith argue against anyone who says it's the best game ever.

i am going to hook my nes up and play wrecking crew.

minecraft is a pretty good video game and a massive cultural touchstone, and if the criteria for 'best' includes 'most important on a wide scale' then minecraft stands virtually unopposed.

Actually it was okay I enjoyed running round headshotting the same 3 or 4 npcs and then arranging their corpses so they spelled out warnings to my enemies.
