New Skyrim footage

Maybe it'll almost be as good as the Gothics

Gothics gameplay (except 4 and maybe 3, never played it) was atrocious. Even if they had better looking environments, I'd take Bethesda's poorly optimized buggy gamebryo shit over the gothics any day.

And this is why we can't have nice things.


Seriously though, the scope of both games is pretty different.
Gothic focuses on story, TES on hiking. And atrocious gameplay? Because you actually have to be careful where you are going?

I just downloaded Gothic 3, and oh my lord it still doesn't work well, what the hell is up with this game? And what is this "I must complete the slowest animation in the world to open a chest" shit?

Meh, it seems better than Oblivion but that doesn't take much.

Install the community patch if you haven't done so yet.
I never had any performance/stability problems with G3 and the newest community patch.

G3 is still the weakest part in the series though, imho, as it started to bore me eventually. Too much grinding.

Also I wouldn't play with alternative balancing (at least if you want to play a mage). I did and found that it made magic very tedious.

 

[Demnogonis Saastuttaja]

I did, and it still stutters all the time. It's not at all playable.

Because the controls are shit and the variety of combat options is non-existent. TES games give you a shitton of spells to play around with.

...and it's probably not even intentional but one of those funny bugs Bethesda is renowned for!
Bioware needs to implement gay adultery in its next title asap.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Instead of a bug, I think NPCs probably just don't have a "is s/he married?" check that would make them avoid the husband / wife.

Despite being sound asleep in his own home, an interloper arrived. “Then she showed up, and I turned around and she was standing there, I saw another door open to another bedroom and the other guy walked out!” says Howard. “If you make him like her, he then visits her every day, and doesn’t care if she’s married.”

Well, at least we know one of the first mods that will pop up, alongside the nude ones. "Faithful Wife".

edit: lol @ comments. One guy was talking about possible solutions for this if it's indeed a bug, and this is the first response he gets:

BlackCompany thinks he's the second coming. Honestly, go and develop multiple award winning games which go on to sell millions of copies, then come back and complain. Honestly, talk about some second rate shit talking dev who thinks he's hot shit cause he wrote a mod once...

DON CRITACIZE MAI GAEM

Until that guy pointed it out, I didn't notice the Dwemer Centurions. I missed those things since Morrowind.

Bethesda released a trailer of their Behind the scenes video: click. It has some new footage.

Also, I expect Hines will soon be raging about the leaked X360 version of the game on his twitter account.

 

[Gord]

Well, at least some of the locations seem much more inspired than in Oblivion.

Textures seem pretty bad to me, though. Also the interface looks terribly consolized.

 

[Forest Dweller]

This is pretty awesome too.

Jesus. Just...what the fuck?

 

[Menckenstein]

Not sure how I didn't notice the "TOTALLY SWEET CINEMATIC ANGLES" thing from FO3/NV were in Skyrim now. Once you learn How To Train Your Dragon you can watch it drop a motionless ice giant off off a cliff and it'll be repeated 45 times from 3 different angles.

It's fake. The Skyrim audio was added to it.

10 minutes of being able to do nothing, character creation that seems limited to selecting your appearance, and 5 minute of running around in an "awesome" action scene.

I don't get why Bethesda still insists on calling this an rpg and doesn't just admit they'd rather be making shooters.

What is it? Loosing your faith?

 

[Excidium]

For a moment I thought it was mastermind.

For a moment I thought it was mastermind. lol

I actually did until I saw your post. :D

[PERCEPTION] failed.

Fuck, CSM, why do you have to use this pic! Disregard my earlier post...

 

[undecaf]

For a positive note, the VA is hilarious. I always burst when the guy sounding like he's on helium says: "Shut up back there!"

the whole time I'm like "can I skip this.. can I skip this" knowing the answer is always "NO". On the first play it moderately annoying, but on repeat plays (that is of course assuming I fucked up royally in character creation and made a butt ugly character *not hard to do given Bethesda's models*) it gets unbearable watching the same scripted shit over and over. At least Daggerfall started you out in the action already, and at least Morrowind threw you out the front door and said "have fun". The story driven tutorial has always been something I've loathed in most modern games, if you have to do it... MAKE IT OPTIONAL! lol Of course this is completely in vain since Bethesda have done this since Oblivion.

Also the attack by a dragon that ends up saving you from execution had my eyes rolling.. its the same as the attack on the emperor in oblivion that you couldn't prevent.. its just fucking lazy and cheap and I could give two shits about what was going on or what was happening to the people (same though with Oblivion.. did I even care about ANYONE.. Nope! the entire time I was thinking "hmm.. burn all the things! steal all the things! rape all the things!" but then this is what Bethesda wants its drones to think then isn't it.)

Those 3rd person knock out bits look painful, its literally 5 seconds without any control.. you're just sitting there watching the shithouse animations play.. what is the fucking point?! I criticized DXHR for similar shit, but this is over the top. Needs Moar SlowMo for it to be even more annoying (yep we all know how beth loves their slow mo shit).

Yep now I'm reduced to looking at Bethesda's games and thinking "how can they make this even more annoying".. that's how bad its gotten, its in preparation for what their next game will be like.
