Skyrim gameplay is actually fairly solid, nailing a bow kill is never not satisfying.

fridge corn posted:I remember starting my <bethesda game> playthrough as a big buff <fighter> dude but ending it as a super sneaky stealth <ranger dude>....in heavy armour almost inevitable unless it's your second playthrough In TES you're bound to try to be sneaky since level scaling is hosed and you'll probably be one shot by damage sponges if you don't exclusively train combat skills. You get sneak attacks to kill these enemies, level up your sneak in the process, and sneaking rapidly becomes the best option for any situation. The only bethesda-ish game I don't usually go stealthy is FNV, and that's because for the most part enemies have pretty reasonable HP pools, so you can just shoot them normally instead of getting a 5000x bonus for shooting while straining your knees.

Dark Souls and Witcher 3 are very different games, so it makes a lot of sense to me that someone would have different opinions on both of them

The post you were replying to said that MGSV is an anti-power fantasy you goober Yeah, it did, and yeah, it was wrong. Being a forgotten, underappreciated hero is one of the classic juvenile power fantasy templates. And the narrative frame of the witcher game is p much irrelevant unless you are a giant pedant, in the end the protagonist fades into obscurity, and with him all the heritage of his people. You could argue that the DLC is a contradiction to this, and you would be right, since the DLC was made as a contrasting piece to the original. steinrokkan fucked around with this message at 15:28 on Sep 6, 2018 |

In the context of gameplay sure, but whereas the Witcher is remembered forever as a heroic badass that people sing songs about the deeds of the boss in MGSV are basically done in secret and/or forgotten forever A pedant, really? The narrator talks to you about this constantly, did you play the game blindfolded with the volume off?

I think Skyrim and The Witcher and basically anything where you'd expect a dragon to show up are loving boring trash. Yeah, "Lord of the rings", more like "BORED of loving everything about this played out shitshow". High fantasy is so loving DONE. Like, you can have loving ANYTHING, ANYTHING can happen, because its fictional and there is magic. A new game comes out that's got magic in it. Is there a magic spell that folds reality on itself in such a way that it exposes the Eel-Ghost dimension, and the ghosts of eels take flight from it finding home in peoples limbs, giving the victim an intense thirst for ocean water, and when they draw near to the shore, the limb severs itself, leaps into the waters and swims off to grow into a gravity-absorbing blanket of fleshmass that writhes along the ocean floor, creating hard to navigate waters where the ships bob strangely like braying horses? No, is there gently caress as like, there's fireball, invisibility, and enchant sword. And of course it's a loving sword, because lord knows anything like 'having your fist encased in a cube of iron decorated with a different rune on each face that you clobber people with' is just too loving much, no just swords again for me please. Who are these people? Well, they're short, so obviously to a one they're all gruff Scottish blacksmiths with a short temper who don't have an affinity for magic and live in a mine. You know, like us humans, who are to the very last 'middling stats, jack of all trades master of none'. OH WOW I'M SO HYPE FOR THIS NEW AND EXCITING WORLD. Christ. Just one time, could the dungeon end with a loving freshly killed giant pig, it's body all bleeding from various orifices as its flesh writhes and wriggles as the rat-skeletons who operate it from within like a big meat puppet drive it to attack you, occasionally jumping or falling out, and trying to bludgeon you themselves? Or you come to the end of a dungeon and there's just a stream, but you go to drink from it and it starts moving about through the ground, trying to encircle you, sometimes whipping up out of the ground at you like a snake, until eventually you damage it enough and it takes flight, leaving a trail of water through the air that freezes and falls, and this ice is the only thing in the world that can turn ANYTHING Hungarian. No, it has to end with a dragon, and dragons are clever and like gold and are loving dull and have lots of hitpoints and armor despite just looking like a lizard, but its dragonscale, which is rare and makes for good armor. gently caress I hate dragons.
