Ok, so I broke down and got Skyrim. Gotta say… good decision! I’ll be writing a review comic about it later, cause uh… I’ve played it for about 3 hours only, so… probably need a bit more time to form an opinion other than “is good, go buy”. But I’ll give an overview of what I’ve seen so far… which amounts to about 10min of actual game and 2 someodd hours of character building.
Anywho… it’s DEFINITELY a Bethesda game, with intricate slider bars for everything. Though, I have to admit that it feels there’s quite a bit less options in this incarnation. Like, Fallout 3 had so many options and tweeks that the more you spent working on constructive surgery, the more Picasso your face ends up. Hmm… come to think of it, that’s probably why there are less! Honestly, do we really need 20 slider option bars for how my eyelashes should look? I like customization, but only to a point. Then again, I found it VERY difficult to make a “me” in the game with the constrained options. I guess it was close… ya know… if I was all buff and about 2o years older…
But I guess that’s the game I always end up playing. I figure, if I can get the character to look like me, I win! Though I think the best set of appearance options award goes to Champions Online. Yeah, they’re cartoonish, but there really isn’t a whole lot you can’t do. My other successes have been in Lord Of The Rings Online, Fallout 3 (to some extent), Global Agenda, and Half Life. >) Hmm… all this reminds me of a comic I did just about a year ago LINK. Déjà vu!
(ps… my roommate back there. He’s got some guest comics coming for when I’m out. There’s still a little time before I’ll be out for like 3 weeks, so… contact me via that contact page if you want to submit a tooned news or something. I’ll be gone just about next week at this time and back early December. Don’t worry… there will be stuff here to amuse y’all still! XD )
I keep on haering about skyrim explain it? (and why do the comics i atart reading always are advertised and are like your comic)
it’s… fallout3 but with magic and stuff! that’s all ya need to know… now go buy it! XD
ok ok, it’s a “sandbox” fpsrpg with lots of dungeons and stuff. good game, but murder on pcs less than fantastic.
BLARG
If I were to make a rage comic right now, it would go something like, ” Y U NO HAVE MAC VERSION!”
Or wii version, but I doubt it could work for that. That game looks so insanely good, and I am sad. Hopefully somebody will either make a good port, or maybe it will be so successful that bethesda does make one.
The only consoles in the house are a wii and the ancient gamecube we always talk about, and never get around to, selling on ebay.
So far I have been soothing myself by watching jesse cox’s play through of it.
i are forum troll, i says that PC is the best thing ever and Mac and game consoles are unnescesary to enjoy a game and are just a capitalist thing, made to take money off the gamers, because PCs can run pretty much every game aned some games are overdetailed, therefore,gaming consoles suck.
troll, troll, i are troll.
i found that guy´s playthrough by mere coincidence ( or maybe divine intervention?) and i kind of like it.
i like how sang along with intro song. XD
A troll?! OMGAWD!
RAGE RAGE RAGE!
I CAN’T RAGE HARDER! QQQQ
I was subbed to him, mainly because of that terraria thing he does with TB which is hilarious, and now it’s turning out to be a godsend. I was laughing so hard when he found this one book…. with the bread…
yeah I don’t get the whole “mac don’t do games” thing. why on earth would they not develop for both? know who did and makes a poop ton of money? blizzard, that’s who! and the game has both versions on the disk!
when will developers learn…
Skyrim has absorbed my brain like so many black soul gems. I’ve been playing for 7 hours total and i’ve done hardly any of the main questline. SOOOO MANY sidequests. and exploring and butterflies and flowers, and forts and caves and cairns and……… *fade to infinity*
yeah, Bethesda makes oversized games.
Although, the details like a skeleton in a cage, with water bottles barely out of reach of the skeletons arms, or the skeleton with its upper torso stuck on a pipe and the lower part still riding the motorcycle with which the poor soul hited the pipe are details that actually both surprised and amazed me in Fallout 3.
sigh.. I keep rerolling… it’s getting out of hand!
oh yes, bethesda does an AWESOME job with the details! it’s the ambiance that really sells the games to me!
I really wish my budget would allow for skyrim, *sigh*, guess I’ll have to go back to watching the yogscast totally fail at it…
lol, I love those guys! and I’ve gotten into Gamechap as well! maybe I just like people with a British accent… seems so regal and authoritative.
Ohhhh you have fallen into Skyrim… SAVE YOURSELVES IT WILL SUCK UP YOUR SOULLLLL
there is no escape!!! >O
Also, i remember seeing adds of elder scrolls 5 all over the internet, but when i saw it on coffin`s choice games i said to myself:” Fine, ill see a video on youtube to see whats this game about”. One thing led to another and i ended up buying elder scrolls 4 to catch up nwith the story. You read that coffin? You were the last straw that made buy that game, do you feel important? Probably not. Lets keep going.
I also heard that the developers of the elder scrolls 5 created such an advanced AI, that there is a high chance that the characters in the game will become self aware and break out of character, some becoming hostile at you and others asking you to transfer them into a robot body, so that they can live in the real world, and yet other NPCs will make a lot of other strange and unpredictable things that any human realising that they are in the Matrix would do. Elder scrolls 5: skynet!!
I wonder if there is a crowbar ingame for your Gordon Freeman-looking character. (No, i never get tired of vthat joke, i crack myself up :P). You all guys should also watch the series Freeman´s Mind on Youtube, its awesome.
mwahahahaha! then the plan has worked!
lol, yeah… at what point does AI stop being bound to computers? when will it get self aware? well I for one welcome our new metal overlords! I always make sure to keep the Roomba charged, polished, and tell it that it’s pretty every day… just in case… ya know, maybe it’ll put in a good word for me…
