Review Skyrim vs Dragon Age: Two Hour Video Edition

[DarkUnderlord]

Here's a video:

This video is a retrospective analysis of three amazing contemporary role playing games: Skyrim, Dragon Age Origins, and Dragon Age 2. It looks at the strengths and weaknesses of each game's format, as well as the construction of the different game worlds. The video doesn't try to say which game is better, just to examine them all comparatively. It also makes informed speculation on what the play experience of the Elder Scrolls Online and Dragon Age 3 might be.​

Now for a few notes:

1. Never film with the light source behind the person you're filming.

2. Get a proper microphone if you intend to be talking.

Thank you, have a nice day.

I'll keep this one for the time when I'm morbidly curious enough.

 

[Excidium]

Skyrim is much better obviously, how can you even compare.

Also 2:06:37 ...Where do you find this shit

First Cradle, now this.

Are these crappy news posts another inside joke I don't get like that creepy Raptor stuff?

 

[Delterius]

The inside joke will be when someone makes a news posts about people bitching about news posts.

[Darth Slaughter]

to be honest, the filming against the light source is a great idea... now it only lacks a scrambled voice sound.

yeah, why dont you post those videos at your own home, huh, Du? leave us out of it. wtf..

 

[RK47]

rpgcodex is his home.

 

[Jick Magger]

I for one welcome our reptilian overlords.

 

[Cowboy Moment]

There's a reason people say all these things about Australians, you know.

I'm only involved in this video/news post because I noticed the phrase "amazing contemporary role playing games" followed by "Skyrim" et al. on the front page. I clicked the link in a blind frenzy, choking down fear and anxiety at the prospect that those might be DU's own words. I thought perhaps our MENSA'd underlord had been claimed by the decline, and am relieved to find that that's not the case.

As long as I'm here, how about some useless pedantry? The correct term is either "role-playing game" or "roleplaying game," not "role playing game."

 

[Arkadin]

Man I was hoping DU did this review himself. So disappoint

 

[Bubbles]

Was this a Codex-commissioned work?

 

[Grotesque]

Take two: please do not post shitty videos from youtube anymore.

 

[Shaewaroz]

Surprised to see this in the news section.

 

[Chaotic_Heretic]

Shouldn't this be in TBE?

rpgcodex is his home.

[Shannow]

I for one welcome our reptilian overlords.

All Hail the birdbrains!

Watched as it is more entertaining to watch modern ''RPGs'' on Jootube than play them to the moment he spewed compulsory lieberal drivel about racism and cis privilege... what a good goy faggot.

 

[WetWorks]

They should rename this to "Elder Scrolls and Dragon Age: Autopsy". Then they should bury both franchises under 30 tons of concrete.

I'm glad I only watched up until the turbodweeb starting talking, about 30-40 seconds' worth. If I were always the first to mention that such-and-such video/article/game is filled with liberal and feminist propaganda, I might start to get a reputation.

the entirety of the site is one giant inside joke that managed to last for over a decade.
