Meh. Typical loud mouth attention whore politician. Wake me up when people of his kind do something useful for a change.

Played a fair bit, explored my first Dwemer ruin under M-- ah, crap, the Nord city built from a ruined Dwemer one. I absolutely, positively love Dwemer stuff, so presently I'm running around with a bow, set of armour (sans helmet), sword and shield made from Dwemer alloys. It's quite awesome.

If anyone recalls, Afterfall is a Polish action game set in an alternate, post-nuclear Europe. It's demo wnet live yesterday and today NMA brings you GIFTS in the form of previews and Screencaps: http://www.nma-fallout.com/article.php?id=60244

That would certainly affect his social life, you know, the smell and the tightness.

No, it's not. The article specifically states that this kind of argument is rubbish, not that the idea of an aggregate site is bad.

Problem is, people don't do that. People usually post inane bullshit like "[x] game has an [y] Metacritic score, so it's TEH BEST GAEM EVAR". I can't count the times I've heard the argument "Fallout 3 is better than Fallout 1 because of a higher Metacritic score".

Which doesn't make it any more valid as an argument.

Excuse me sir, but I do not follow.

It's still a badly designed, crappy user interface. The fact that you're getting used to navigating it doesn't mean it's not badly designed and ill-conceived. I got Skyrim and I must say, it grows on me. I feel like in Morrowind again, actually, which is good. Voicework is fine and racial...

I heard you want to burn stuff and start things over.

CVG has an interesting article tackling the issue of review score bloat and the fallacy of using MEtacritic score as an argument (which, sadly, has surfaced around here): http://www.computerandvideogames.com/326413/features710-the-review-problem/

Made up for with an unique, non-cliched gameworld, an interesting story with a good hook for the player (you become the Nerevarine, you become one, a subtle, but big difference), lots of varied characters and original stories to find etc. It was bugged as shit, I'll give you that, but it more...

The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick. Amazing story and a gripping, yet horrifying setting. Kind of wish the story gave more closure, though.

I'm opposed to bad design and bad craftsmanship. I have nothing against Bethesda games if they are good. I love Morrowind and its expansions, for instance.

Try Morrowind first, then get Skyrim. Skip Oblivion. Also, is that an Irish Wolfhound in that screenshot over there?

Let me get this straight: Bethesda actually learned a lesson or two about balancing from the abysmal gameplay of Fallout 3 and Oblivion and the game's actually a challenge this time?

I'd expect people to look up reference photos, rather than go by their imagination:

Term inflation ahoy! Why not use MAJESTIC to describe that? This simply means that it's competent, good design. Certainly doesn't sound like something groundbreaking or terribly inventive. Merely Bethesda catching up with the modern world. Come on guys, give me some honest criticism, not vague...

How's the story, characters, writing and voice acting, by the way? I've read about some really crappy stuff, including a half-an-hour long MAJESTIC intro that manages to make the creepy and inane Fallout 3 introductory sequence seem a marvel of game design.

Can someone screencap Khajiits and Argonians for me? Wonder how they look this time.
