Just remembered it and wanted to put it somewhere. You know how I roll.

I like Solitaire but my wife likes Freecell.

We're simple folk.

That bloke makes me feel ill with his rambles. Of course the game wasn't going to be perfect.

It's like he spent the whole time playing trying to find problems instead of just enjoying it.

I personally thought it was better than Skyrim (which for me never felt anywhere near as fun to play as Oblivion).

For me, Oblivion was the weaker of the two. Probably because I came to Oblivion after playing the powerhouse Morrowind.

I had a real hard time going from the huge island of Vvardenfell to Cyrodill and stumbled across undiscovered tombs every 10 steps.

I didn't play Morrowind when it first came out so never really got into it. Might have to give it a go...

Oo. Don't.

It hasn't aged particularly well. It looks dated and plays very dated.

It was superb in its time though. I spent 3 months delinquent in quals for that game!

Shame! I've always heard it was a brilliant game.

I bought the remastered Skyrim but haven't had a chance to do a run through yet, definitely on my list to do.

Think Destiny is hit a massive wall for me.

There is the slow grind to 400 light level which is fine, gives me something to do.

But generally there isn't much i want in terms of weapons or armour. I'm happy just slowly infusing my way up the ladder until i hit the max level. the game does really need a desire to play raids because without them it sucks the life out of the game.

but yeah, the weapons i want are not really in the game anymore in the same capacity so i tend to not really want any others apart from the 3 exotics i currently have.

there are some community based mods that redid Morrowind with Oblivion physics (and i think they were working on a skyrim based one too) so I'd try that. I still play og Morrowind from time to time but I'm used to it. it's still frustrating at the beginning dying to cliff racers because you can only hit them 1 out of 10 times.

Sniper elite 4 review from Worthabuy?

Had the demo of that on the 360. Got a slow motion close up of me putting a round straight through a jerries nutsack. Felt quite bad for it.

Strangely PC Gamer just published a 'best RPG' list and it had this to say about Morrowind:

The release of Fallout 4 demonstrated that some cracks are starting to appear in Bethesda's usually reliable open world model, but that model seemed earthshaking back when Morrowind hit literal shelves way back in 2002. There was a magic in knowing you could tromp all over the island of Vvardenfell without even encountering a loading screen save upon entering buildings, and in seeing that the NPC population seemed to have lives beyond their interactions with you.


Plenty of other games have achieved similar effects in the years since, but the wonder of Morrowind is that it still holds up all these years later—even more so than its technically superior successor Oblivion. A lot of that appeal springs from the delicious surrealism of Vvardenfell itself, where racist elves hang out in twisty mushrooms like smurfs in an acid dream, and where the more traditional castles of occupying foreigners clash with the landscape like pueblos in Scandinavia. The AI might often seem primitive by today's standards, but the stories the tell often rival those in prettier contemporary RPGs.

It thrives still, thanks in part to its own strengths and a dedicated modding community that creates countless new adventures and keeps it looking more modern than it actually is (even going so far as to port the entirety of Morrowind into newer game engines).

This Horizon game seems to be getting some good scores. Shame it's PS4 exclusive.

Anyone getting it?

Looking forward to fallout 4 VR is ready

 

[Tramps_mate]

Witcher or Skyrim.

Mordor is boring imo.

Elder Scrolls Online is good..

I've pre-ordered Zelda on the Wii U... I can't really justify getting a switch just yet. I do think it's an impressive piece of kit when used as a handheld.
