The best game in the world

Post » Mon Mar 14, 2011 6:09 pm

this is just kind of food for thought, but bethesda and ubisoft specialized in 2 different areas of gaming (graphics and content), so wouldn't it be great if an elder scrolls game was made by the both of them?

No. Ubisoft needs to stay the hell away from any of gamesas's games.

Given that Ubisoft are the people who made Assassin's Creed I'm going to assume they make the pretty games and not the ones with in depth content. In that case I'm good as is, yes some of their games are very pretty but Bethesda's graphics are fine for me right now, and I'm sure their next engine will be quite lush.

I agree with the DRM I hope bethesda never does that, and I think that bethesda graphics are good for me too, but you got to give it up to ubisoft, since their shadows are great, and assassins creed is a pretty game, but the story line is very in depth, it like playing in a movie, however ubisoft is terrible with content, where oblivion has so much content

I have to admit Assassin's Creed is a very good game (which my nick probably shows). They had an amazing artistic direction and story.

Say that again after playing Assassin's Creed II.

Given that Ubisoft's ludicrous take on DRM and their penchant for half-assed console ports has resulted in me completely ignoring games that I otherwise may have enjoyed (especially since I've been working my way through the PoP series recently), I'm going to vote no.

I'd rather see Bioware and Bethesda do something together.

Best game in th world from a combination of Ubisoft and Bethesda? No thank you, and Bethesda can make shiny graphics, too. As for the best game, Oblivion was already made.

In regards to Morrowind or Oblivion being the best game in the world: yes, to both, in their time. But Morrowind's time has come and gone, and Oblivion's time is dwaring to a close as well. There needs to be a new best game in the world, and I think gamesas and/or Obsidian has what it takes to produce it; maybe it'll be Fallout: New Vegas, maybe it'll be The Elder Scrolls V, maybe it'll be some other Bethesda game; but Ubisoft has already closed themselves off from that with their drconian DRM which only serves to hinder legitimate purchasers of their games and does NOTHING to stop piracy; and while Blizzard has produced some great games in the past, they've been infected with the Activision virus and have really gone downhill, so I think gamesas is the #1 contender for the producer of the next "world's best game". I don't know enough about Bioware to make a judgment call on them.

Bioware's good, but I find their story-driven game approach to be inferior to Bethesda's open world game approach.

@Seti

Really? I prefer a better story, writing, voice acting, and character development, which I get from BioWare games.

Seriously, what is it?


edit: Yes, I do prefer Bethesda's style, and I actually prefer Bethesda's style of character development, not only in attributes and skills, but in factions and personality/value customization. It's easier for me to be what I want in Bethesda games.

Eh, I meant character development in terms of seeing the developing personalities of your party members.

Obsidian doesn't have a very good track record so I won't put too much faith in their hands.

BioWare is good. Beth could learn a thing or two from their good sense of character development and gripping story. But the games BioWare make seem to be one straight line after another. Yeah, the choices are cool, but I never get the opportunity to "turn left instead of right". That's why I always love open world games. Maybe I don't want to deliver that letter to Caius Cosades, I'm going to join the Morag Tong. Maybe I don't want to give the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre, I'll fight in the Arena.

Fallout 3 could have had a bit more options instead of simply hunting for Dad. Factions would have been nice. However, I still don't feel like I'm bound to the Main Quest, and that's why I love Bethesda's games.

No, I prefer making my own, personal character and creating everything about them. Before I found my first Elder Scrolls game, in RPGs with multiple player characters, I would always make one my favorite, who I imagined was myself. I've always wanted to find a game that really let me make my character and have them be whoever I wanted them to be. Basically, I wanted an RPG that resembled a second life, a game that didn't have to end with the conclusion of its story. I found Oblivion, and then I found the others. For sentimental and nostalgic value, Oblivion remains my favorite. I loved Fallout 3, as well. I've never even completed Oblivion's main storyline.

Agreed. They have all but lost me as a customer. Fallout New Vegas is there last chance.

Disagree. BioWare was good, I don't like EA so that alters my opinion now. I liked Jade Empire and the first KotOR a lot. Too much probably. Mass Effect, amazing. Mass Effect 2, meh.
