Exactly. Every time I see something like this, I look somewhere else to see people that are actually happy about it, then come here just to see how much everyone is bitching about it. I swear this site is so damn negative about EVERYTHING.userwhoquitthesite said:

I'll admit to painting with a broad brush, but to be fair...RaikuFA said:I don't do any of that and I'm extremely hyped...
I'm not the only one doing it.RaikuFA said:
I've always wondered about the whole graphics vs gameplay; in this day and age shouldn't we expect to have both elements be good? It shouldn't be an either/or proposition. Throw in the story there as well ( which actually is number one for me, personally). Anyway....
Only saw a bit of the video, as some of the other links have been dmca'd, but it pretty much looks like Fallout. It will be interesting to see if it has a smooth launch considering they made a big deal of how much prepared they have been and how it was all set and ready to go for a while now.
As I did with Skyrim and Fallout/New Vegas, I will wait 2 years ( maybe not that long this time) and enjoy the game then ( as I did with the previously mentioned games). There better not be any gamebreaking bugs like Vegas had though - I did not enjoy having to reload and wipe 30 hours of playtime because I had to visit Mr House before I killed Caesar.

Well Vegas came in overbudget and had a QA team of two people, it was amazing the game ran at all to be honest. But yeah probably a smart move to grab it when mod support is in and the expansions have been released.ghalleon0915 said:
It's Paul Eiding. He did voicework in Skyrim (including the crazed scholar you need to talk to about the Elder Scrolls in order to finish the main story) and Fallout 3 (as a crazed robotic recreation of Abraham Lincon, the head of that weird tree cult, and I'm sure a few others).Mister K said:
EDIT: wait... I'm sensing a pattern here...
EDIT2: He also voiced Campbell in the MGS series. So that might also be where you're recognizing him from. I haven't played MGS, so I'm just seeing that as, "oh, you might know this guy from here." "No, wiki, I don't."
Ironically, looking at the cast list, the only big name I can see is Ron Pearlman. There's a few solid standards like Courteny Taylor (Jack from Mass Effect), Stephen Russel (Garrett from Thief, Mercer Frey from Skyrim, ect.), but nothing like Elder Scrolls Online's Kate Beckinsale, Bill Nighy, and Michael Gambon.
Yes, Bethesda is all you have said above(Well they aren't as bad as you stated, they're not amazing either but...). I love it and soak it all up like a sponge. I rather not see some guy randomly on the internet play something before I get to see it for myself.Charcharo said:
CoD actually has some really good writing that gets overlooked too much of the time since they are so frequently released.Charcharo said:Who said they are bad? I pre-ordered it, played several hundred hours of FO 3 and new Vegas (not Bethesda, I know). I even liked Skyrim though not as much.Elfgore said:
But they really are that bad at those things. Their writing really is shit tier 99% of the time. Hell, CoD actually has BETTER writing most of the time. And they are bad programmers, unfit to be in the same sentence as 4A Games for example.
But that does not mean I dont like their games (I do) or that they dont have their own quality
* Even if I often complain about them.
On the last point I agree. I am annoyed when people arent as MLG Elite as me
Bethesda has some excellent writing. The overall main story is often the worst piece too. It's the individual missions and events where they really shine. They're world building in ways no other company is quite as good at so if you want the open world Bethesda is one of the best if not still the best. I still remember specific quests and happening from Morrowind. That was 15 years ago and the vast majority of other games have slipped away into the ether.
Illogcial set pieces and themeatic decoherence is a staple of action flicks. So is cheap drama fuel. Even in good ones. No one ever saw a Mission Impossible that they liked and declared "Oh my, all these set pieces make perfect sense and I understand the thematic elements entirely!"Charcharo said:
These are military genre games. They're basically the same as military action flicks. If you like one you should like the other if you're a fan of film and video games. Complaining about these elements would be similar to me complaining about gore in a horror movie. I mean, you have every right to do so but it'll come down to a taste in genre rather than an empirical observation.
Another common byproduct of war films.
Unless they made something I'm unaware with, I think I and the general consensus (metacritic and user scores) of the internet will disagree with you on this one. Are you talking about the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series? I'm not entirely sure how that game even relates to Bethesda games like the Elder Scrolls series or their more recent Fallout series. But if you know something I don't then maybe I should pick up a copy of one.
I'd say the Witcher 3 fared almost identically to Skyrim but with newer technology. We'll have to see what Bethesda does with their new engine in that area.
But I will admit that CD Projekt is the only reason I didn't call Bethesda the undeniable best in the business. I'd say they have solid competition with CD Projekt but I would moreso argue that people saying Witcher 3 was tons better may be falling prey to novelty just because it is newer and therefor the enjoyment of it is fresher in one's minds. The next really good one that comes out may then be claimed better than all the others before when really you may have had just as much fun playing of its predecessors.
Honestly? Infinity Ward's been going down hill since 4. To the point that I skipped Ghosts, though I doubt anyone's about to argue that one. Treyarch used to be pretty meh, but the Black Ops series is surprisingly good for what it's doing. I haven't played AW, so no idea there, but I've heard good things.Lightknight said:
It's a mixed bag. When it's good, it's really good. When it's not, it's pretty terrible. MW3, for instance.
I got on here again just to say that I completly agree with this paragraph. I don't understand why they are just trying to push gimmick and trying to take away more of being able to make my own character. Heck they didnt even go all in with the stupid voice protaginist junk. Its just one voice per genderDr. McD said:
