» Fri Dec 27, 2013 9:06 am Yes i am aware that most of the game is cyrodiil, however, that is precisely where i'm getting at. after watching this video, which may be found at this link, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MQFxE4AESn4 , i have come to the conclusion that there are some not mentioned faults, at least not mentioned in the forums at least. the video is building upon itself, escalating from small combat engagements to the large scale invasions. my opinions on the matter, are that of my own and i ask that you respect them. had this all been said before, who knows it may already have been, if seen, at least, i would not have posted this topic. but here we are.
First, i want to say that i am glad bethesda and ZOS are constantly releasing videos and information for the game, it is a pre-way of saying thank you to us, before we have even bought the game. i know me, myself, enjoy those videos very much. although they aren't as frequent as they should be, progress is as progress goes. the graphics that the video depicts are amazing, me playing on the Xbox one, i plan on playing on the max potential i can. obviously the console is nothing compared to the PC/MAC abilities. what i really wanted to discuss was the combat, its mechanics, ''flow'' and scale. at first glance the combat, no matter the scale, seemed a bit clutchy in the sense that it did not really flow like the skyrim combat. i know darn well i cant expect skyrim quality this is an MMO - or at least a form of one, but i would greatly surrender graphic quality for combat quality and efficiency. moving onward to a larger scale when the video should the assault of what is clearly a keep, there was give or take around thirty players on screen. they were all involved in combat, playing there role's, however, it looked somewhat cluthchy to me. the mechanics themselves look like they need some tweaking, although i know nothing of creating video games, i know what i want. i hope i dont come off as a complainer, i really dont, but i really hope you guys/girls/transvestites can understand what im getting. my main point here is that i am wondering how exactly combat will look and feel in cyrodiil, for all we saw in that video were keeps, not even the main castle, ruby throne in cyrodiil. how will the game work when there isnt thirty players on screen, but an entire hundred of players. june 2014 cant come any sooner, i just hope they really make this game work. should the game fail, it might be the biggest let down in gaming history. no exaggerations. dont even argue that last sentence with SWOTR, the SW franchise has been thrown around to just about every developer in the industry, it was bound to fail at some point. my final conclusions are this: i hope the combat mechanics and flow are at their best when the game comes out. they have made tremendous improvements since our first glimpse of the game, its come a very long way, its good but it isnt quiet there yet. who knows maybe i am the only idiot who holds a high standard when it comes to bethesda and ZOS, nonetheless, i will buy the game. fail or non fail.
let me know what you guys think in the comments below, check out that video if you havent already and dont forget to check the forums daily for new information, videos and more.
