And thats more important than a wider array of weaponry or the almost limitless possibilities of spell creation? Use your imagination. Although I think your post is being sarcastic?

Its not just that though, they say that it "breaks their immersion and they realize they are playing a game". Those people are not mentally stable enough to be playing video games if they cant tell the difference.

Those reviews are terrible and just reek of trying too hard to be attention grabbing.

Everybody can find a reason to complain. So I would rather leave it up to the devs since they know what they are doing.

Attention grabbing? Many Game Companies take his critiques very seriously. Sure he doesn't always make the right points but most of what he says has a valid point and he pretty much nailed it with Oblivion. And they are not reviews!

Yes richard, i completely agree

LOL no they dont and if they do, they're idiots. His 'reviews/critiques' are not even reviews/critiques, they're blog rants at best.

Rant or no he still described the major problem of Oblivion very well.

Not really, after watching that it makes me think he played a few hours of it and quit. Not to mention he admits that hes an action gamer not an RPG gamer. playing a game all night and losing track of time = Immersion? I must be immersed every single time I play a videogame then? And what was the major problem he describes? That there was only a handful of voice actors?

But that is all he seemed to go on about, he compared games which is stupid because no game is the same. And he never spoke about any of the good things of oblivion, I reckon 85% of the game was pure awsome, and the remaining 15% was just overcome and forgotten as you got into the game. You started to feel like the game was normall in how it works.

People want EVERYTHING. And even if they DID get everything, they still wouldn't be happy.

Truth.

No they don't. They are tired rants and nothing else. Any idiot could do that.

Truth don't lie.

I said some of the immersion people might need help, not you or all. I never said anything about imagination. Every game has off moments and bugs. I never said I was a purist. I don't enjoy pointing out that some people fail to recognize TES is just a game, not a life substitute. It's sad.

I think you and I might have different takes on immersion. If I play a game for hours without noticing, I consider that to be immersive.

You call me a complete idiot and then claim you don't want to offend me.

As long as we're name-calling, you, Sir, are a poopy head.

So what? They will most likely be disappointed then because all does things wont probably be implemented, does that mean they are mentally challenged or crazy? And your telling me there were no threads created that had more believable solutions to some of the game problems? I made a post about Combat Mechanics and how the game should be more penalizing of people making mistakes when fighting. Its something they are working on in Skyrim.. i don't know what exactly they are doing but from the videos i can see they are doing changes, and i believe these changes will effect the immersion quality of the game.

(ops double post)

Ive seen plenty of people say 'X breaks my immersion and then I know Im playing a game". Really, they didnt know they were playing a game before that?

EEGGGHHHHHHHAAAAAHHHHHH!

First, please don't call it a review. It's not a review. It's a rant. Like the one you're about to experience.

Not every opinion is a review. Not every change is a necessity. Not every suggestion should be incorporated. Just because people listen to an opinion, doesn't make it a good one. Millions of people followed Hitler and Stalin and look where it got them.

To an answer the OP's question: What do we want? An Elder Scroll's game. Not a Final Fantasy game. Not a Fable game. Not Dragon Age: Origins. Not Mass Effect. Not Fallout 3 or 4 or 16. I don't care if Bethesda made the games, if I want to play Fallout, I'll buy the freakin game. I want Skyrim to be an Elder Scrolls game, like Oblivion and Morrowind.

I want the game to follow the already established lore. I want it to maintain the unique Elder Scrolls artistic look. I want it to improve gameplay elements, but not so radically that I feel like I'm playing an entirely different game. And I want an epic freakin' story!!!

Most importantly, I want Bethesda to keep the promise it made to me when it release the gameplay trailer. I want that experience. I think I'll get it.

What I don't want is: guns, vampire armor, Batman blades, 15 new minigames, a game so freakin heavy in data and scripts that I have to buy a supercomputer to play it, Bandits debating the subtler aspects of situation ethics, wolves I can ride, dragons I can romance, or companions I can . . . . let me just put it this way: if I see one freakin jerky avatar six scene I swear to God I'll scream.

There. Since you asked.

Rant over.

I approve almost all of this message.

You should heed your own advice.

Preach it sister! Hallelujah! Amen! Take me to the mountain!

Not really. Skyrim will/would be better if it had things in it that were taken out of Oblivion. Or things that might be taken out that were in Oblivion but not in Skyrim. we keep losing things and this will be a linear action game. That things that were in previous games are more important than some trivial new 'immersion' request. Next time, quote me in context, or not at all.

My second excerpt that you quoted is referring to people thinking its a FPS or something and buying it. Its also kind of directed to the devs. Peoples requests dont 'dumb down' the game. Only devs can do that, by trying to appeal to a wider audience, or people that dont even like RPGs.

No.

You do realize those aren't reviews, nor do they really even qualify as rants on the stated subject of each episode- they're lampoons of the snobby "game journalists" who think playing videogames and writing web reviews of them somehow makes them respectable, professional...well...anythings.

If you keep losing things, then what would it be? Im talking about years from now. If ES just gets more and more simple over time.

Exactly. Pretty shallow actually.
