tried to go back to skyrim...

 

couldnt play it for more than 5 minutes; it was a janky mess of a game.

 

is it just me or do bethesda games age like shit?

 

fallout 3 is one of my favorite games of this current-gen but its PS2-era animations will probably keep me from playing it again. i'd prefer to look at that game through rose-tinted glasses

Thought it was going to be another Skyrim newbie complaining about Morrowind.

why are you insulting ps2 with atrocious Fallout 3 animations? PS1 had many games with better animation what Bethesda used for Fallout 3 and guess what? They're using the same shit for ESO, a 2014 game :lol:

Skyrim was ten years out of date when it launched, combat mechanics have barely progressed since Morrowind.

If you can't wait for GS to kill the sigs, adblocker seems to get rid of them just fine.

They do the exact opposite, at least on the PC. The games are modded like crazy. I'm still playing Fallout:NV and it's just fine.

FONV and Skyrim are two of the best games this gen after Demons Souls when modded on a nice pc. I play them at 25x16 on my 30" Dell U3011 and they look fantastic to this day.

It'll be interesting to see if the Witcher 3 lives up to the hype and makes another great open world game, I'm kinda skeptical, yet hopeful. Time will tell...

It's called depth of field. Herp Derp.

 

He must be focusing on something else in the foreground at the moment.

Dynamic depth of field was invented by the master race to make us feel better about ourselfs for you not having it. It does.

It's certainly playable, but gets boring quickly.

Open in new tab for larger versions. Game still looks phenomenal, WHEN you include mods. Mods can also improve combat and enemy AI.

 

The console version in comparison looks like @ss.

Gametrailers done that. Redesgned everything, removed factions. Redone the front page. Redone the forum. It's traffic died off and Shane Satterfield left lol.

i enjoyed both, didn't put anywhere near that many hours into either (probably about 80-100ish for each), but both had engaging worlds that sucked me in.

OT: lol i just recently had a friend give me it for the ps3 and am thinking about doing another playthrough but already hit a game breaking bug....i can't save.

Install Skyre, location damage, ASIS, dragon combat rehauled, deadly dance and deadly dragons and see how to turn a casual console game into a manly pc game.

Just make sure you have a decent card with 2 or more vram :P My skyrim looks just as good as that. Been looking for some areas to take more screen shots.
