I have but one fear

Post » Wed Sep 01, 2010 8:42 pm

I have faith in Bethesda. I know that Skyrim will probably have a ton of bugs (FORGIVEN IN ADVANCE!), and normally I would say that I know it will be jaw-droppingly amazing.

But now, I have a fear.

It has nothing to do with my beloved gamesas. Over the last month, two major releases - sequels to amazing games developed primarily for the PC - have left me feeling betrayed and heartbroken after the dev's screwed over PC users in favor of console kiddies. (DA2 and Crysis2 - both garbage compared to the previous installments)

Now I've lost my idealistic core. I'm jaded. Wary of the things I one looked forwards to the way a child looks forward to Christmas.
I know I should have more faith. Those sixy folks from Maryland have never let me down. I've only been disappointed in my computer, which I'm sure will require yet another upgrade come November 11.
But that's how I felt about BioWare.

Please Bethesda. PLEASE don't screw us PC folk over in favor of crappy consoles.
Oblivion and Fallout had perfect interfaces. The interface needs no changes in favor of controllers. That will only make the PC experience svck.

I know (hope) I'm worrying about nothing. Ya'll have never done me wrong before. But I've been hurt, and badly, of late and I'm scared.

P.S. It looks so beautiful!

Console kiddies? helluva stereotype. I'm actually a dirt poor, stressed the [censored] out college kid who needs to visit another world to relax. But I understand, as I've learned that the comp guys do get the shaft quite a bit. Bethesda loves all though

console kiddies huh? So you somehow think youre mature simply because you choose to spend more money on gaming?

Try editing your OP so you dont sound so arrogant.

The interface? Really? I've heard people complain to no end about the Oblivion interface being too console-oriented, as though it's the most unbearable thing in the world on the PC.

I agree with you about DA 2, haven't played Crysis 2 yet so I couldn't say. Remember however, DA2 came out just about a year and a half after DA:O, while Skyrim has have 5 years of planning, development and testing, its not being rushed like DA2 was. :thumbsup:

Typical PCgamer sense of entitlement and rant. Lock Imminent.

I'd imagine the dialogue system is a bit fiddly on PC.

While I appreciate all that you've said (and totally agree with you about Cyris 2 and DA 2), I'm getting increasingly aggravated with the age old "Consoles svck argument". Instead of saying that the devs should cater to the PC gamers, why don't we push for a game that is excellent for both. It does not have to be one or the other. Let's be honest, the majoriy of people are going to experience this game on a console as opposed to a PC. It makes sense for them to make it work for both, and I believe they can do without sacrificing quality on either side.

It's not. I never had any problem with the interface at all on PC. I've tried other modded UIs that people swear by, but a lot of times I find them less convenient.

Yep - it is closed to everyone.

Starting a topic and flaming a section of the community - including myself as I also play a number of games on the 360 - is not a good idea.
