The_White_Crane posted:I'm sorry, but I think that's insane. Name one feature of Skyrim which was actually genuinely novel. I don't think I could name the one defining feature. Instead, I'd point to the combination of open-world RPG design with its pick-up-and-play accessibility. Nobody talks about anything as like, "the Far Cry 2 of the steampunk genre," but BotW but was "Hyrim."

Ghislaine of YOSPOS posted:skyrim is definitively the most accessible rpg ever made but other than that, which isn't nothing, there's nothing about it that elevates the genre imo It's not just not nothing, it's everything. No game with its breadth of scope had ever felt less like homework until BotW came along. The caveat is GTA, I guess, but Morrowind ended up being the mold for more open worlds than GTA 3 did and they came out around the same time.

I want to live in your dimension where Morrowind became the standard for open worlds, it sounds way better than the one I live in with quest markers and compasses and enemy red dots and 5/9 Collected on the right side of the screen

Lol remember is Morrowind you could jump across rooftops like pre-flying superman and run around at high speeds across the land or just fly and then in Skyrim they only let you move a little faster than default depending on how much the booger bar is filled and they didn't think to pair this punishment with fun gameplay like climbing or gliding or levitating.

I mean I'm happy to see em still in the wild, but boy it's been a hot minute since I've seen anyone preaching the Skyrim gospel. Obviously I disagree with em but it's nice to see something come up that isn't "lol another skyrim port" lately

honestly BotW was much more obviously an evolution of the Ubisoft version of open-world stuff, and it basically outshined those games so hard that they rightfully look like poo poo (I mean they already did, but even more in retrospect). It's not very much like Skyrim at all except that you can run around real far and ride a horse

GTA 3 is often pointed to as the first modern open world, but the world's themselves look more like Morrowind.

Albatrossy_Rodent posted:Now that I'm thinking about it it might have been Skyrule. if you search the forums the first mention of Skyrule or Hyrim (in a non-name sense) are your two posts my memory is swiss cheese but what i recall is that any mention of Skyrim was in the sense of "finally, a non-Skyrim and non-Witcher 3 take on open world" but I agree it's silly to understate Skyrim's influence and impact. It was (and is) enormous. Very frequently a huge shift in an industry isn't by something particularly novel but by something that finds the right ratio of foundational ideas, new ideas taken from more experimental attempts, and a nice packaging. and that's Skyrim. it's not the Avengers of games, but it might be the Game of Thrones (TV show) of games

Mister Facetious posted:They designed an offensive magic system that gets WORSE than physical combat as the world scales with your level lol This is true of the destruction school but the other magic schools level p well. It's a shame that Pure Battlemage is off the table, but the build diversity is still wild. The character my SO plays is like playing an entirely different game than my character. (People say "but everyone's just a stealth archer" but that's not really true, everyone minors in stealtharchery while majoring in something else.)

Buy the part and ship it to me, I'll repair it. It does look like a pain to get everything apart but straight forward.

I've never heard any portmanteau in any kind of frequent use but I did often hear BotW described in other places as "Zelda Skyrim" for a while after it came out. Often with the Todd Howard meme of "See that mountain? You can climb it."
