@putaspongeon: yeah but you dont know that for hours. There's also a massive mounts of law in the books , you read at all the taverns. About the conflicts between the nords and the dark elves of Morrowind. The first few hours, you could probably play, without even stepping foot in a dungeon. depending on the difficulty level, you cant even beat one of those giant trolls for ages, unless you have it on super easy. Even then I think you have to level up a bit before you can beat one of them. You cant get a GOOD sense of Skyrim's world in an hour. All the major cities have slightly different variants, different histories. Different reasons to exist. Also it does depend on what difficulty you have these games on to, i suppose. You are not going to get a good sense of all the Dragon Shouts in 1 - 2 hours. If you do see all the shouts in 1-2 hours, you really ARE rushing through it and missing everything anyway, lol. But then again, you cant get a good gist of all the spells you can use in an hour or how to get all of them.
@putaspongeon: I think you do. You can spend over 10-15 minutes just on character creation alone or longer, hell the intro plus character creation could almost 20-30 minutes. You could spend the first hour, just walking around in Skyrim, without doing anything. You dont find the first dragon cave, for a long time. In morrowind, I dont think I even saw the first mage city on the east of Morrowind, for like the first 30 hours. So if i was to review it, based on the first hour of just playing Morrowind, there is a TON of stuff, i wouldnt know anything about. Also you dont find the glitches in Morrowind, with some of the missions, that are problematic, for hours and hours.
I buy 1 GTX 1070 or GTX 1080 for the reason to play games on max graphics. Having 2 of them or 3 of them, seems like a waste of time. If i cant play a game on max graphics with 1 ultra high end GPU, i really dont want to play that game. With the exception of ARMA 3. Because that game isnt about graphics. Its a tactical infinitely re-playable military simulator. It's nto th egraphcs card that is bringing th egame to its knees, we need a a true nextgen CPU or something to run that game. Like we did with ARMA 2. Now ARMA 2 runs reasonably smooth as butter on max. With the latest CPU's.
Its one of these games, I might look into a few years from now or maybe late next year. I want to eventually SEE NPC's mining and doing stuff on the planets like I am, so it doesnt seem like im the only 1 landing on the planets and walking around.
I love Syberia. Have it on STEAM. Really cool point and click adventure. You have to fiddle around with the options a bit to get it running with decent resolutions in the game files, or run compatability mode, i cant remember, but theres something I had to do, because its an old game. But runs sweet as. This is my go to point and click Adventure game outside of Broken Sword.
@crusaderprophet: ARMA 3 zues mode. Its epic. Much more interesting military co-op experience. Has an actual real game master that dictates enemies, missions and everything. If its a good game master, it becomes really interesting and feels like you are actually in a firefight, or doing a believable military mission.
Speaking of getting cities right from Ubisoft, theres a guy that went to Chicago and took photos of actual hicago locations in Watch Dogs, to see the similarities and you are very right. They spend a LOT of time trying to capture the areas realistically, than sometimes, the gameplay. The ai in watch dogs, was better than GTA i thought though http://business.financialpost.com/fp-tech-desk/post-arcade/watch-dogs-chicago-vs-the-real-windy-city-a-comparison-in-pictures?__lsa=6ef8-25ed
@putaspongeon: ok games that are only 10 minutes long, should have an icon that says finished next to it. Like a classification icon. Actually thats a good idea. There should be a classification icon that stands for proof of finished game for the reviews on STEAM. Maybe theres an automatic stamp you get when you finish a game on STEAM and you see an icon of that on the user review. If you have finished a game, im way more likely to respect what you have to say about it, than someone who has barely played it, only played for 5 minutes or an hour, when a game like Skyrim for example can be 30-100+ hours long. Because some people are even reviewing their games on PRE LOAD, lol. 5 minutes after the game was officially released, there were already reviews for this game. Even glitches or bugs or PC port issues, you dont really know the seriousness of it, until hours in, even then, some actually iron out and become barely noticeable. You cant have an impression on anything, if all youve done, is load it up, push start and got into a vehicle and shot 1 weapon and then write a review.
I love how on STEAM people with only 1 hour game time have reviews up, as if they have any real impression after an hour. Should be a new rule. People with 10 hours or more game time are the only ones allowed to review a game. Soem games can actually grow on me. Like Watch Dogs was a little like that, i thought it was kind of mediocre, then i kept playing after a good number of hours, I actually started appreciating the detail of its chicago world. The little details was pretty insane in Watch Dogs, despite it being a bit bland. I thought it was more detailed in many ways than GTA. You can walk past people and they are half way through almost full conversations, i barely heard the same conversation twice. I Never saw any of that detail in GTA. The most you get is,"Hey, what you doing" or some prostitute saying"Hey baby" or something like that. But you dont really pick up on little details after playing a game for only a few hours.
I quit the COD 4 remaster ages ago, uninstalled AND they want micro transactions on top AND infinite warfare has bots you cant play offline lol. I went back and decided, fck it, lets see who still plays the ORIGINAL COD 4 and there are some people playing it and I got a game quicker than the remaster, it ran a million times better because of dedicated servers and it also made me realize something. Buying the remasters was a complete waste of my money and it wasnt cheap. They do this sht again, they really can get stuffed. Seriously go back and look for servers of the original COD4, some are still going.
