Same here.

Yum pie

You will never get this lalalala

In the opening scene they say you were arrested while trying to cross the border. It is strongly hinted that you were at the wrong place at the wrong time when the Legion was rounding up Stormcloaks and you got lumped in. That is why your name is not on the list.

I used to create mega super long texts like you, but then I took an arrow in the knee

I'm not even sure what "I like pie!" means, but I picked it!

FYI: You should have made another that says "I like pie, but only with icecream."

To the OP:
Nethesda started [censored] up gameplay wise when it embrassed console as the development base.
You are aware that they haven t done better because of the XBOX limitation aren t you ?
We ALL got an XBOX game with all the space limitations it gets.

If you can t fill the right thing in a DVD, you can t ship it to an XBOX.
We got a game done by the lowest comon denominator.

So what does game of the year mean? I have the impression its not that big a deal, just some game site or mag there are hundreds out there votes it thier Goty.

I'm sorry, do you understand how much time it would take to test every single little thing in Skyrim? This game is massive, if you want to spend thousand and thousands of hours scanning over every feature, quest, everything, be my guest and apply for the job. You wouldn't be able to fit into Bethesda's shoes if you tried. The staff over there do a great thing for us giving so much time up of their personal lives to give us a great game like Skyrim.



Same thing as above, try to fit into Bethesda's shoes, you couldn't fit into them. I dare you to attempt at what your telling Bethesda to do right now, I don't think know you couldn't.

Blueberry pie! YUM! :cake:

That's how the majority of this generation of games is, and Bethesda is no different. They are all "look at our "new", shiny and buggy engine" "look at the graphics!". All style and pretty devoid of any actual substance. They started this with Oblivion, although Fo3 was better in that regard, it was still all about graphics and effects. Skyrim is pretty much the epitome of what is wrong with the gaming industry today. I would much rather have had a game that had graphics (the graphics aren't even that great on the PC, but it's made up via aesthetics) half as good if it could have had two or three times as much actual content and gameplay that was actually fun to play.

There is a reason people keep going on and on about Morrowind, and most of it has nothing to do with nostalgia. Bethesda just doesn't make good games anymore. They make interactive story (barely), first person shooters that focus on trying to push hardware, without actually doing anything really creative.

Like my buddy "Sandal" from a certain Bioware game, I want some pie and voted accordingly.

Its all about nostalgia with MW for me. The fighting system, cookie cutter caves and dungeons, and encyclopedic, lifeless NPCs were close to horrendous to deal with.

I forgot that the majority of the people who purchased the game were not easily swayed by both the non stop commercials as well as the PR hype. Nope, propoganda never convinces anyone ever. Nope. :flamethrower:

Pie for me, please. Or a sweetroll, if it hasn't already been stolen.

Must be very powerful propaganda then if so many people have bought the game, because going by the OP`s statement he suggests "everyone hates" Beth for their games. Which makes no sense.
Commercials did nothing for me, but sure, the PR info helped. In the end I bought it, like every TES game previous, because i`ve enjoyed them all, despite their flaws.

Sorry but players who bought the game found more problems then Bethesda, during testing of the game for more than a year of testing, in a matter of weeks.
Determination.

I think that makes your point invalid.

They took arrows in the knee and couldn't make it to the CoD and or WoW forums.

I seriously doubt that the game testers found less bugs then the people playing, they have been playing that game for 2/3 years they have probably found and fixed dozens if not a few hundred bugs

Wow you took your time to set this up....to bad I LIKE PIE is winning this race ^^

Click ALL the options! :ahhh:

I'm looking at the poll ... and I'm sad.

Seriously, trolls should die.

Most testing teams are under 100 people, probably under 50. Games generally have thousands (maybe tens of thousands or more in this kind of game) of bugs that are found by the testers and subsequently corrected. What is left is a relatively (key word there, pay attention) small number of bugs that were missed. Of course those are going to be found quickly, because hundreds of thousands of people buy the game and play it intensively for tens of hours in a week. Perhaps you'd be willing to pay a hundred thousand testers to spend every spare moment testing a game for a few weeks solid (on top of the usual debugging team, programmers, etc)? Then see if you have enough money left over to fund the creation of the game in the first place. The fact of the matter is that, although widespread in comparison to other games, many of the bugs actually affect a minority percentage of gamers (sure, that may still be hundreds of very vocal internet users, but there are still more people playing the game without complaints than there are encountering game breaking bugs). On top of that, many of your original complaints are entirely subjective.

To sum up the entire situation: Design decisions were made that a) implemented things that you don't like but other people do, and B) removed things that you miss but other people don't. Sorry to be the one to break this to you, but there are far bigger considerations in game development than your personal opinion. I am genuinely sorry that so much about Skyrim isn't to your liking, but there's really no way any game developer can create a game that is perfect for everyone. I know some people have essentially said 'if you think you can do better, go make the game yourself', but the thing is, that's actually not a bad idea. I mean that with no malice - you can download something like XNA Game Studio for free and C# is a relatively simple programming language to learn. Sure you won't be creating something like Skyrim in a few weeks, but you could easily get the beginnings of a top down 2D RPG together and implement all the complexity you want. And you know what? You might actually end up with the next big retro-styled game on your hands. You might end up with a buggy mess. Who knows? Either way, you'd be doing something constructive with your disappointment rather than wasting it on an internet forum.

It's pretty obvious why Bethesda has us be a prisoner and why they don't tell us anything about our character's past: IT'S FOR ROLEPLAYING PURPOSES!

If they told us what happened in our characters past, or if they made us answer some questions that we can only choose a few different answers for, that would be limiting our ability to roleplay our character's past and development..

Yep, same here.
