OK I was wrong. Many on the Codex may enjoy a lot of dumbed down games but in no way even the conoletarded of the most consoletarded codexer is even close to fags infesting RPS.
Well in RPG Codex they say, that Skyway's small heart grew three sizes that day! :love:

Priming effect. Being exposed to negativity about a game reduces one's enjoyment of said title. It's science.
fun fact: the quoted poster also has a pony avatar

If he's that easy to influence, why does he even dare to state his uneducated opinion? He's a disgrace to the poney cause.

The older games Wizardry likes I find technically interesting, but the lack of a 3d detailed world puts me off - sorry, but visuals to me are just as important as Gameplay. TES is one of only two modern RPG worlds I'm interested in, Mass Effect being the other. Whose lore I find interesting and want to learn more of.
:M
:hmmm:

Mass Effect lore?

Mass Effect is hard sci fi since it has the magical Unobtanium like Avatard, didn't you know?
:avatard: Unobtainium is just a high temperature superconductor with quasicrystalline (aperiodic) structure.

Pocahontas in space, caricature-like villains, derpy Na'vi anatomy and USB biosphere (I think Margoulis would disagree on the last one) aside, Avatard Sci-Fi was actually pretty damn hard.

If you'll throw together random smart words it becomes hard sci fi and not fantasy

Since even though the movie/game can be full of magic and supernatural it's actually sci fi because it has smart words and space

Who was saying ME was hard sci-fi anyway?

lol @ you saying ME is shit there, keep fighting the good fight :salute:

There has been some small controversy, not going to quote this properly but see :

The internet is a damn riot sometimes. "Your opinion is invalid because it's similar to that held widely on a website I dislike."
Saying that the qualities of modern games don't even qualify under the umbrella of 'gameplay' isn't exactly acknowledging the validity of others' opinions either.

Ah, yes. The lore.

Reminds me of something written in this review of a Dragon Age novel:
GoldenPigsy said:
Here’s a quote from Game Informer’s (Issue 175, pg 151) review of Mass Effect, which I think illustrates the mindset of somebody who reads tie-in novels, and likely nothing but tie-in novels:

Game Informer said:
[Mass Effect] is an amazing work of fiction, a visual work of art, and a property that is so fully realized and so rich in its backstory that its content could fill countless games, books, and movies. This is the next big franchise for science fiction junkies to latch onto, and a huge step forward for video games.

What does this tell us, besides that editor Andrew Reiner is a giant rube? Think about the idea that the “backstory” could “fill countless games, books, and movies.” That’s pretty much the greatest virtue that anything could have for the sort of audience that reads Game Informer. Despite all of the breathless superlatives Reiner ascribes to Mass Effect as fiction, the one element that he actually delineates is the milieu and the world-building that accompanies it, because that’s all that matters to him. It’s something for the people he thinks are “science fiction junkies” to escape in and over which they can argue, until the next novel or game comes out and provides a conclusive answer. Essentially, it’s there to answer all the questions, raise just enough new ones to keep its audience interested in the next product, and prevent them from thinking too hard.

I find the lore in both Elder Scrolls and Mass Effect to be uninteresting. Thief, on the other hand, is very fascinating even though it's very secretive about the world it takes place in. Or maybe that's precisely one of the reasons why it's fascinating. The first Fallout also had a sense of mystery to it that made it interesting, but nowadays the setting is too transparent.
