Some tidbits;

The demo started peacefully enough, though, as Dovahkiin walked over to a grouping of incredibly detailed flowers, picked one and moved on. He stopped to show the audience a tumbling brook with beautifully rendered fish jumping their way upstream. We were also briefly treated to the third-person perspective in the game, which was a stunning improvement over past attempts at the option in Oblivion and Fallout 3. Instead of appearing to float over the ground, Dovahkiin actually looks as if he is firmly planted onto the earth.


The inventory system has also seen design improvements. Once pulled up, the players scrolls left for the map or right for items, and to view skills, you look up -- literally, into the heavens. Classic RPG skill trees have been replaced with constellations, with each representative of a different play-style and depicting a unique progression layout. The map is actually a zoomed-out look at the gameworld itself, rendered in 3D and incredibly detailed. For finding specific towns or mountains this is very helpful.
The size of Skyrim's gameworld is said to be comparable to Oblivion's, but each area is significantly more detailed and interactive.

This is my day one buy. Will get a collectors edition of this if I can. (If there is one available at that time :))

I want the Dark Brotherhood back in this game
For Sithis!
"What is the colour of the night?"

They were the coolest faction.

I wish they expand on the whole vampire thing. Maybe add other things into the mix; I'd love to be a magic-wielding werewolf. That would be totally bad-ass.

Exactly
i stopped doing all guild quests and story quests when i joined the brotherhood
the last few DB quests were really creepy
Werewolf disease or something like that would be awesome
or some kind of side story focussing on Werewolf vs Vamp thing

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    "These changes are not a reflection of the creativity and skill of the talented individuals at these teams or the risks they took to try new things" ... seems to me that's exactly what it is

    Microsoft deserves all the hate they can get. Seriously i can't explain how much i want to curse them out.

  • XPremiuM XPremiuM:
    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

  • XPremiuM XPremiuM:
    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.

    MS one upping Sony in catching the biggest L in gaming
    tbh gaming industry as a whole is failing much like tech industry. They have buckled down too much to Corporate suites then relying on passionate and innovative people. A corporate only believes in financial growth and shareholders.
