Bought Baldur's Gate Anthology for 28€, and have clocked 29h the first one in four days. What a Face

I've actually never played the second one, nor the newly released 1.5 so it will be fun to take a character through all this.

Also Steam has 85% off from Witcher 1 and 2 currently, pulled the trigger with 4€. Lets see if I can pull my teeths enought to finish these.

Lol Witcher 1 is too outdated even for me, i have never got past the opening.

by Harmonica Thu Aug 31, 2017 12:24 pm

I played it in the release, but I don't even remember if I finished it. Only thing I remember from it is the engine limitation how Geralt couldn't even jump over a fence, and had to weave windy fields endlessly back and forth.

Harmonica mate I love Elder Scrolls as Skyrim was extravagant, more so since I'm into Norse lore and Morrowind was pioneering but if we are comparing it to TW3 its not even close. Laughing

I liked Skyrim more than Witcher 3 shoot me.

They are vastly different experiences but I got more enjoyment and fun out of Skyrim.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Thu Aug 31, 2017 6:28 pm

Skyrim

Dunno how a game with bad quest design, characters, writing, gameplay can be liked by anyone tbh.

Horizon is better.

by Harmonica Thu Aug 31, 2017 6:43 pm

Only thing W3 has going for it is story, and questing, and frankly Bethesda with quests mods beats even that easily. Maybe Game Of Thrones heads wanted it to be diverse from players and gameplay perspective, and Witcher3 engine still was static state when it was released, compared to Gamebryo which was dynamic like a decade ago. It's like comparing professional to novice, who do you want to trust your franchise with?

I've known you long enough to know most probably why you do so understandable.

No it IS a solid game no doubt but just feels outdated in too many ways to be mentioned anywhere near TW3.

Have not yet tried Horizon.

I was thinking more along the lines of if Skyrim wasn't bringing in 30-40 quid per copy from each remaster they'd be inclined to have started 6 before now.

@Harmonica, you can't stop producing something you haven't started, unless you mean the franchise in general, in which case they've delayed it, not stopped it.

We had this discussion before with RedOranje. Here you are again listing things as facts when they are not.

I must be a massive corporate slave to sink 300 hours into the game and enjoying it. Fighting dragons, getting married, building houses, taking over thieves guilds and assassination cults was more fun for me than what I did in Witcher 3. Witcher has the better story but Skyrim was more fun to play for me.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Sep 01, 2017 12:01 am

None of those things negated what I said though, also I didn't mention Witcher 3 tbf.

I was just criticising Skyrim for things it fails to do.

I could ignore them all if it just did one of them well and it didn't in my experience.

I could ignore that I found its combat to be tediously boring if the quests were fun, I could ignore that if I found its characters engaging and I could ignore that if it's story was well written.

None of which it achieved, which is why I said Horizon is better as for the most part it manages to succeed in every single department I just mentioned.

I'd love to appreciate it like you do but sadly it's exactly the same as every other Bethesda game I have tried to like.

As a person with no bias, who likes both games, i can say that i'm more captivated with TW3 than i was with Skyrim

Yeah that's why I said Elder Scrolls, not Skyrim as you somehow read.

Well they haven't 'stopped' making anything fanboy so calm your tits down.

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:18 pm

Finished Uncharted: Lost Legacy.

I absolutely love everything about this game.

The banter between Nadine and Chloe is top notch, the game is ridiculously beautiful ( i took about 20 screenshots Laughing

) i greatly enjoyed how Chloe's character developed, the Puzzles were fantastic and the game was wonderfully paced.

Combat wasn't as constant as some Uncharted's but ones that were there were really well designed and the set pieces are much better than Uncharted 4s IMO.

in one of the Chapters the game is more open than the Madagascar level from UC4 which has it's own side mission which you can do if you want but it's completely optional ( i did)

It took me at least 10 hours, so it's not short by any means and the best thing i can say about it is it proves Uncharted doesn't need Nathan Drake.

Feels more like a spin off than DLC, anyone that has ever liked Uncharted at any stage should buy this without a seconds thought.

by Kaladin Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:43 pm

Loved it as well, liked the bond between Chloe and Nadine, Asav was a good villain as well

Agreed.

You completed it btw?

by Kaladin Fri Sep 01, 2017 3:57 pm

Yeah, finished it a couple of days

I take it English isn't your strong suit?

stop (stŏp)
v. stopped, stop·ping, stops

2. To put an end to what one is doing; cease: had to stop at an exciting place in the book.

Doesn't mean they wont again continue developing it though.

Just installed Life Is Strange: Before the Storm

They had no intention of going straight to TES 6. They never stopped producing anything. So once again. Calm your tits fanboy.

If anything the reason they are delaying TES 6 production is because 5 has been bringing in so much money in various forms they can afford to wait a long time. If nobody was interested in Skyrim version 6.0 then they'd probably move the timeline forward.

Shouldn't even bother replying him tbh.
