Game looks like a downgrade from ds1 to me, less options, monotonous scenery (as far as I've seen)... Shame, was really looking forward to it.

How are the secrets? Cryptic as usual? That's the part about these games that I most dislike, the secrets are hidden well enough that you would have trouble finding them out on your own offline (like having to roll through the entire game just to find all the illusory walls), while finding them through messages just takes all the fun out of it. DS1 great hollow/ash lake for example, never would I have thought there was an illusory wall there, it stopped being fun rolling everywhere by the time I got to blighttown, especially since I medium-rolled. Granted they're optional areas, but there could have been way more satisfying ways to discover them.

I like jazz, but let's be real, most of it (or at least the greats I've listened to) is instrumental improvisation over chords, IMO it just gets stale after a while and I go back to real songs.

Not sure if this is available on xbox, but I like the ability on playstation to see which percentage of players got a certain trophy, makes you feel cool if you got a rare trophy. Other than that, I don't go out of my way for them.

mods pls

Well, if it's a good game and nobody's buying it, it would be a shame if there wasn't a sequel because of low sales.

Other than that, the game looks rad, thanks for the heads up.

LOL!

Some wicked stuff there. Oh how I hate being reminded that I need to start learning how to draw, but I have so many unimportant and downright cancerous stuff to project onto paper, I MUST START SOON!

Looks rad, gives me stalker vibes when it comes to atmosphere (desolation, loneliness).

Eh, it's 50/50, on one hand, morrowind is IMO much better than IV/V lore-wise and dialogue wise because it's primarily text. On the other hand, no voices limit character development/likeness. I know Garrus, Mordin, Saren, Joker, Tali, Wrex, Morrigan, souls series npcs, witcher characters would be nowhere near interesting if they didn't have voices or if they had them limited.

Your baits could catch a whale, I'll give you that :D

Without WoW, Dota 2, LoL, Diablo 3, TF2, Minecraft, CS, PC would be just a fragment of the thing it is now. Incidentally, none of them are really demanding games. Rarely does a game that pushes pc hardware actually succeed.

It's the console generation change that really pushes graphics industry wide, look at current-gen only multiplats and compare them to last gen multiplats that came out a year ago. Huge change, thanks to devs switching to next gen consoles. Obviously devs are catering a lot to consoles and weaker PCs, where a huge chunk of revenue is. If they didn't, and if there was money in eye-candy demanding PC games, every PC game would have crysis 3 graphics and the console versions would be severely downgraded.

Anyways, certainly there's room for both PC and consoles to happily co-exist, I don't understand the hate. Imagine gaming without all the great and creative nintendo games, sony's diverse titles and long lasting franchises and without huge PC contributions to multiplayer gaming. If anything, it's the pc and console industries that are driving each other and would probably not be nearly as huge if either of them was missing.
