______ was perfect until _______

[BreakfastMan]

Gotta disagree with that because it is 1 album too late. The black album is where the suck began. But either is really just a matter of opinion.

Well, if I am being completely honest, they were perfect until Burton's death. They were just okay after that, and while the black album was much more mainstream than their previous stuff, it still had some good stuff. Things didn't get real bad till Load.

not what i wanted

Vampires were Good until Anne Rice. I know that most of oyu would say Twilight, but that's not really the case. The downward trend started with Louis de Pointe du Lac started to bemoan his existence. At least Lestat is not as emo about his immortal life.

-Emperor Reman I making a spaceship to try to colonize the moon

Lolwut? I dont know anything about Elder Scrolls lore but thats just mental. What kind of writer thinks of that shit.

OT: Mass Effect 3 was perfect until the last 5 minutes

District 9 was perfect until they didnt release a sequel (still waiting for it)

Red Dead Redemption was perfect until someone ruined the ending for me

The same guy who wrote the 36 lessons of vivec where vivec mates with a daedric lord, has kids with him, turns his lower appendage, i think you know what I mean, into a spear that he names milk taker and then uses to kil all his kids.

The same guy who basically wrote Morrowind, Mankar camreon's Speech in Oblivion, the knights of the nine DLC, and countless other things.

The same guy who wrote a story about a princess going to Valenwood only to have the monkey people throw shit on her.

the same guy who wrote that the entire ES universe is just the dream of a dreaming schizophrenic god-head and that the only way to achieve god-hood is to realize and fully accept that you don't exist while still having the audacity to say you do.

Michael Kirkbride, the most insane video game writer ever.

Kingdom Hearts: Re: Chain of Memories was perfect until I witnessed the combat system. Worst idea yet, KH developers.

Assassin's Creed 2 blah blah until the final boss.

That stuff about the Elder Scrolls lore is insane! I never even had a hint that anything like that existed in any form. Mindfuck.

OT: Death Note was perfect until half way through when...

Spoiler

They killed of L.

It was still good after that but it just wasn't the same.

The absurdity of the ES lore is why it is only hinted at in the games.

If they were to come out and tell you Akatosh is Lorkhan, all the different versions each race has of the gods exist fight each-other and yet are the same individual, that opening up the inventory thus pausing time is canon etc. etc.

Do you know how many people could wrap their heads around it all? few IMO.

I do like that they leave breadcrumbs, symbols in statues, one off lines of dialog that appear meaningless, etc. etc. its like there's another world below the world we play.

...that opening up the inventory thus pausing time is canon...

lolwut... How does that work?

Where exactly in the games do all these hints come up? Are they all hidden in earlier games or something? I'm not that versed with those ones.

Better do something to keep this on topic too...

The FlatOut series was perfect until they changed the developer.

It is called CHIM, it is a state of being above all the gods, Talos and Viec have achieved it and the heroes of the games are linked to it, it is the in-game lore reason for the construction kit/the inventory/ and loading save games when you die.

"Fourth:

'The immobile warrior is never fatigued. He cuts sleep holes in the middle of a battle to regain his strength.' "

Also most of this is in the newer games.

The first two ES games were terribly generic standard fare.

My life was perfect until I was born.

Shooters were perfect until the cover system

 

[StormShaun]

Mass Effect 3 was perfect until I took a bad ending to the face!

Shepard: I know right?

Haha I kid, but not about the ending part. D:<

Minesweeper was perfect until I had to guess... and guessed wrong.
