Admit it: You are going to buy Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.

[Nael]

I'll upload it to the piratebay, thus doing a reverse-piracy maneuver.

I forgot to mention I will be holding a gun to your head and will force you to play it. Seven times.

 

[Sceptic]

I somehow missed that one.

Well done, Ex, well done.

So did I. Well done indeed Ex.

Bonus points for the Oblivious reference

What the fuck is happening in this thread.

As I already said, stratospheric entertainment. And just after I said it the lulz achieved escape velocity.

This isn't funny.

Quite the contrary, I'm afraid.

No she's right, it's not funny.













It's hilarious

I was going on an unvocalized rant about how the Codex is going down the toilet blablabla in the good old days of SP trolls were given just enough rope to blablabla... and then this most beautiful incline happens in the last couple of pages. Well done Codexers I am proud of you

A quick death is preferable to torture, I always say.

 

[Crooked Bee]

What Sceptic said.

 

[Tycn]

More baffling is the number of more or less established Codexers who admit that they will buy it. Torrent I can understand (as one must play a game 7 times before he/she/it can conclude that it's shit) but why the desire to give money to the decline?

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

Yeah, it's not like you're supporting some shaky indie projects here for whom the money really counts.

Better to have 2nd rate games than to have no games, this is what it means to support your hobby.

No, this is what it means to drown your hobby in shit.

It seems somewhat ironic that you would not even begin to attempt to extend the same courtesy to other people, does it not?

I don't think you understand. She's entitled to be a dick, because she is Woman, she is allowed to do whatever she likes because she is free and liberated. If we say anything remotely harsh in return, or do not agree with her 100%, we are being evil oppressive males and can only possibly be disagreeing with her out of Male Ego. We're kind of like Hitler really. Seems simple to me.

Nothing but vitriol? I was nice to you just like I was nice to everyone elsehere but nice is a different language to you people, is it? You twisted every word I said and made ME look like a bad guy when all I tried to do was make some friends.

"Okay, I feel a bit bad about all the alt accusations, let me explain why people are so quick to dismiss you as-"
"I DON'T FUKKIN CARE"
"Well, I'm just saying, the reason people are acting like this is-"
"SHUT UP IM NOT PANDERIN TO IDIOTS FUKKIN MALES"
"Okay fuck this"
"FUKKIN MALE EGO WHY ARE YOU SUCH A JERK BWAAARGH"

Just remember: the problem is always with everyone else, never you!

Anyway, this one was great fun, well done drog I needed to let out some steam during exam leave.

 

[Achilles]

This isn't funny.

Don't let it get to you, Melissan. This is just the Codex's way of sniffing out trolls or just plain weak individuals, it's nothing worth getting upset about. Eventually you'll learn the ropes of this place and you'll be able to separate the trolls from the people who want to have an actual discussion. Think of it as an initiation of sorts

Anyway, about the Skyrim trailer, I thought it looked good in some areas, but there is cause for concern. There seems to be better art direction and world design, the engine and characters look better, but the thing that I'm most worried about is animation. There's a bit of gameplay footage in the trailer where a fighter does some sort of whirlwind strike with his sword and the animation looks identical to (the horrible ones in) Oblivion. The scene with the wolf and the archer is also indicative of animation problems, as the wolf's motion is the same as Oblivion and the scene cuts just as the wolf prepares to turn. Texture detail is also an area of concern.

 

[mysterious-stranger]

Actually the sword whirlwind animation seems a bit better, the one in Oblivion just had your character spinning like he was on a merry-go-round, while this one seems a bit more realistic.

 

[Imbecile]

Weirdly, my biggest area of concern is the allegedly quicker levelling. It felt like I levelled pretty quickly in Oblivion anyway. Dammit, I like the bit at the start of RPGs when you aren't a superpowered munchkin.

 

[Black]

Um, no, not if we're talking about entertainment. Lowering your (already low) standards is not good, okay?

Also, has Codex built a consensus if this new tranny is a genius troll or the biggest retard of 2011 yet?

 

[Fowyr]

Words fail me.

 

[sirfink]

There must be something wrong with you guys then.

The inmates are running the asylum.

That's why we keep getting new games... to start the experience over again!

It depends. What do you think about prosperity?

Better to have 2nd rate games than to have no games, this is what it means to support your hobby.

Pretty much this. If devs are moving in some direction, and this direction increases their profits, then they will keep moving in it. It's not that we have no Larian, CDPR and other Obsidians to support.

Well, it isn't my biggest concern, but it is yet another nail in the coffin.

Levelling up was already occurring at mental pace in oblivious.

It sounds simple to you because you're male. No offense. One who's entitled to everything just because he was born with a penis between his legs will never understand what one born without has to deal with in order to be accepted (and my experience here clearly proves that), will never understand the limitations and restricted placed on a penisless person. Why do you think I picked this quote for my signature? You want to dismiss me as some stupid woman as countless men have done before you. That's fine, I'm used to it and I should not have left you provoke me so easily. But the problem is that that's what every female goes through. Every female no matter how gifted and special must fight to be given the same right a male gets and takes for granted. Read my signature again, this time without prejudice and maybe you'll understand.

Being a woman in a society dominated by males is no different than being black in a society dominated by whites. What white person can claim to understand what a black person must go through in order to get a fair treatment? We're told that there is no discrimination, that all races and genders are equal, but only if you're a white male, which judging by your posts you clearly are. So don't talk to ME about entitlement, you spoiled brat.

 

[Admiral jimbob]

Hahaha, there we go. "No offense, but you're a spoiled brat who doesn't understand anything and doesn't deserve to have opinions because of something you can't control".

I never fucking brought up your gender and I don't fucking care about it. I have no problems working alongside women and consider my girlfriend the most intelligent person I know. You have been using it as a tool from the start to play the victim because you just can't be bothered standing on your own feet, and believe that we should instantly humble ourselves before you, apologise and kill ourselves for the sin of having a dick. You misandrist fucks are as bad as anyone you complain about.

I like the fact that you seem to agree with my post there, though. Shows what you people really want, eh?

 

[Johannes]

Basically, all this thread you've been telling you can't be taken seriously because you're female. I guess you should just stop paying attention. Just go ahead and do what you can and then, when the stars align, something awesome happens.

 

[Raapys]

We're told that there is no discrimination, that all races and genders are equal

Who's been telling you that? We all discriminate, if not on race and gender then on something else, be it religion, hairstyle, appearance, clothing, taste, etc. Where I live, men have obligatory military service for one year. Women don't. For some reason that's fine with them.

Shannon Lucid doesn't sound like a person who spent her time whining. Just sayin'.

 

[Melissan]

That's all you've been talking about. I can go back and quote every one of your post aimed at me but why bother when everyone knows that already.

I have no problems working alongside women and consider my girlfriend the most intelligent person I know.

Who the fuck are you to judge her intelligence?

This, this is the problem I was talking about, you patronizing sack of shit. You consider her intelligent! I sure hope her eyes light up every time you tell her that, putting yourself above her, making yourself the judge of her humble female abilities.

She is not your fucking pet!

"I think my girlfriend is p. smart"

"HOW CAN YOU YOU CHAUVINISTIC FUCK I BET YOU CONSIDER HER YOUR LITTLE PET DONT YOU YOU STUPID BASTARD HOW CAN YOU THINK OF HER AS INTELLIGENT THIS IS SO DISCRIMINATING"

What the fuck? Where's the logic in that? Are you a hardcore feminist or something because I can't see anything wrong with the phrase you quoted and you'd have to be a hardcore feminist to see something wrong with it.

 

[Melissan]

When you judge someone you place yourself above them. What's so difficult to understand?
