This is what Kills Games: DLC Disease
DLC was once a fantastic way to extend the enjoyment players got out of their games. They added tons of great content and often came from the hearts of developers who were excited to add more to their passion projects. But today, DLC has become one of the primary victims of the video game industry's ever-increasing greed. Join me as we explore examples of DLC done right, and the many done wrong, as well as talking more critically about what shapes a good and bad piece of downloadable content.

The Death of AAA Games
Переглядів 2,8 тис.2 місяці тому
AAA video games once occupied the space of the greatest on offer. In recent years, that's all changed. But how did it become this way? What kinds of changes have occurred? Take a deep dive with me and figure out why Indie games are filling the role AAA titles once did, and doing a great job at it.

Greed Ruined The Sims
Переглядів 32 тис.2 місяці тому
The Sims was once a fantastic life simulation game with a promising future. However, the latest installment in the series has drastically reduced the quality of the games and made it clear to players that it's no longer about making a good game, but solely about making money.

Is Morrowind Better than Skyrim?
Переглядів 119 тис.5 місяців тому
If you're reading this, the title and thumbnail are totally clickbait. This whole video is more about discussing the shortcomings and shortcuts of and made in Skyrim (and to a lesser extent, Oblivion) due to a trend of simplification and obsession with accessibility in the gaming industry, which Bethesda is not exempt from. Sorry about the bit rate by the way, I think I just figured out how to ...

There's a ton of Kenshi tutorials out there, we all know that. But I am yet to find any one comprehensive guide which takes you from the very start all the way to becoming a beast all in one concise formula and video. So I decided to make one. Hopefully this helped you out. CREDITS FrankieWuzHere UA-cam: ua-cam.com/channels/nIUl6xiD5B-Tg_xhFTip8A.html @FrankieWuzHere Twitch: m.twitch.tv/frankie...

Its a good game
The Camelworks comment made me grin so big it hurt. Love his content.
Skyrim is now older than Morrowind was when Skyrim came out
Skyrim combat gets boring after a while cuz its all so accessible. Magic is cool, but nowhere near the scope of morrowind or even oblivion
12:46 "There is no freedom in Skyrim" and "You can join the Imperial Legion and kill the Emperor..." lol am I the only one seeing a tiny bit of hypocrisy here? Also it is possible to do the same in New Vegas by joining Legion and killing Caesar (and the reason to do so is if you want to obtain Legion Assault perk while siding with NCR), it makes perfect sense to "pretend" to join the faction in order to effectively assassinate their leader, just read some history books. Also while I don't claim that Morrowind is a bad game Im kinda tired by it's old fans always preaching to me about it even though Im clearly not interested and let them know about it (talking about my friends, not the author), no offense Morrowind fans but I do not want to read pages after pages (yes, most dialogues are unvoiced) of made-up lore and stories in order to be able to pass some early-3d dungeon or a city or whatever designed in 2002 (or probably even earlier, but then again Im not a gamedev), there is actually useful real-world lore in form of books and movies and there are ball-fondling action adventure games for blowing off your steam or just having genuine fun, and not everything has to be a textbook definition of an RPG (or other genre, really) in order to be a good piece of art. Videogames should unite people, not divide them, publishers are the "pimps" here and they deserve all the hate.
best game imo, wish I could play it for the first time all over again.
ofcourse.
Agreed. Morrowind is better
I honestly feel like the lack of voice acting was a massive contributing factor to how expansive Morrowind's world was able to be. It was far easier for every character to feel unique because all of them had unique dialogue and didn't share the same handful of voices. It's hard to care about the third or fourth Jarl I run into in Skyrim when all of them sound exactly the same as the local blacksmith.
I don't replay skyrim becasue after 2 times its boring and the same. Morrowind I don't replay because I know it's so unique even after 20 playthrough it will still suck me in and will consume my time.
Morrowind is goated
This is a WONDERFUL video bro. So much truth. Morrowind was my first elder scrolls. I remember playing the Xbox version, tripping on mushrooms. I freed some slaves, and fell ALL the way into the game. Such a transcendental experience...
see i got the hive to eat me but there was no way to heal myself on the spike and i cant get in the limbs menu
We live st the point in time where Milennials are slowly becoming Gen Xers and Boomers, they don't like anything new because it's "too simple, back then it was more complex" it's funny how people don't take off their rose colpred glasses. If the game is much simpler than it was back then, there's probably a mod that fixes it nowadays, Morrowind isn't better, something that's supposed to be Hardcore isn't better; there are milsim groups in Arma that have the most complex CoC available, that doesn't make them better. Helldivers 2 made a game that wasn't for everyone, lasted 4 months and died, CoD has made a game that is for pretty much evrryone and those things last way longer than they are intended to. If something isn't for you then that doesn't mean it's inherently worse. If we live by the mentality that Complexity is superior, then we wouldn't have had Mass Effect and Drsgon's age, Elder Scrolls Oblivion, morrowind or Skyrim, we wouldn't even have had Baldur's gate 3, being Niche isn't something to be proud of, it's something that hinders your product from growing.
i have played both morrowind and skyrim there is few issues with both what i see and dislike i cant tell which one better or not morrowind DONT USE WIDE SCREEN because stupid thing that throw me off was health bar on left side of screen omg cant move it to middle and using mod just take away reward which ruined game skyrim se have been missing out alot of stuff that not include in game first place but thank to mod fixed up game but reward in steam is big junk because cant get it with mod 2nd there is ton of mod for skyrim se than morrowind but i like morrowind gameplay and story and not setup with headache and skyrim se is fun but if develp would fix this i would love it but nope and i still play both no matter what but skyrim with some mod require 18+ get me hooked and lock on hardcore and play harder like escaping from everyone before get trapped and armor and weapon get stolen from you (outside city is dangerous but inside is safe) image like zombies going after you anywhere everywhere you go still cant get away from zombies something like that and cant kill it if you try it bring in more and more it best just keep running (keep me busy forever)
Honestly imo no it isn't. The only thing it has going for it is the storyline. The combat is unbearable, it's like rolling dice every time you attack an enemy, and it doesn't even feel good when you hit an enemy like it does in skyrim. Both oblivion and skyrim beat in with graphics and convenience, having a map marker to show me where to go. I don't find the idea of following directions fun.
Current consumerism.
Ive played oblivion Morrowind and skyrim Skyrim is the best gameplay wise morrowind is good for the lore and heck general map design And oblivion I dont even know what to say about oblivion that game is weird
The “getting 30 hours in to Skyrim and then remembering the story” part was accurate for me, I beat like 2 dragons and got bored because I had to walk for so long in the world
You dont see how hard it is to understand the stanima bar? its because its not explained and causes long drawn out dnd turn base style gameplay, and i love morrowind, but the stanima bar and journal system damn near ruins the game and i played an ungodly amount of morrowind.
in skyrim i found out what the main quest was like 2 weeks after i started playing it. in morrowind i heard about the main quest and thought "oh now i gotta play it" that's how it should be
I highly disagree. There are quality of life mechanics that skyrim and oblivion that marrowwind just doesnt have. This makes both games objectively better. We wouldnt have oblivion and skyrim without marrowwind, but in no way does that make the game good. Its pretty garbage in comparison.
I still play morrowind to this day ( even vanilla ) but I avoid skyrim, moded skyrim isnt close to vanilla morrowind. Tbh I like the combat system
OpenMW + Sensible leveling + Sensible races/Birthsigns = better than skyrim.
Ill hear you out
Keep in mind when comparing the size that since todd Howard got involved, so since redguard (and morrowind) the elder scrolls games have gotten smaller in scale in order to furnish them better. I think it was a great decision and i think it worked out for Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim. I think if they have a bigger budget we can hope for a larger world but I also think it's okay to have a smaller world if it's crafted with love and attention
Fudgemuppet and the channels like it are such cancer. Like TKS mantis. Just shoving their nose up beth's crack as faaaar as they can. They simp and don't call out issues that the community has with beth. They should work for IGN.
hesRight
Dat feel the first time you kill an important npc and break your save and have to reload a previous save from hours ago.
I'm 17 and morrowind is a peak of elderscrolls, the only game that came even close to it is ESO imo. I am however not pleased how you treat the Tribunal, they are clearly the best gods in the elder scrolls.
this video made me reevaluate morrowind and now i prefer skyrim. If you believe that having a better storyline, a complex system of consequences and a more in-depth combat system to enhance the RPG dynamics is for you to have a better RPG regardless of graphics and setting (as you specify with morrowind-skyrim) then you should not play an elder scrolls. There are RPGs that do all of this better than morrowind, but with less immersive interfaces. Elder scrolls are mostly popular for the first person, open world and immersiveness with the environment, and skyrim is better in this in all respects. do you need real consequences for your actions? Dwarf fortress, rim world, songs of syx, bannelord, baldu's gate, warhammer 3, dominions, they are better but due to the interface and how you play the game they may not be immersive. script with consequences? baldu's gate 3, disco elysium, fallout or one of the many multiple choice games. even pathologic 2 is better, but it's a pretty small open world. better combat system that gives value to the role-playing game? path of exile, wow, baldu's gate. Skyrim is a design choice that prioritizes immersive and accessible access to the content created. It's a great game because you can do everything without fear of missing out, and if you want you can create your own limits (it's an RPG, right? Why do you expect the developer to impose them on you). Being able to do everything is seen as unsophisticated, but in terms of accessibility and design it is. it's like preferring outer wilds without the traveler's journal, or want to add survival mechanics for immersion. or want a tarkov rpg in an elder scrolls world. At some point you have to do the math and decide where on the axis you want to put yourself
for some reason, I always get caught at the gates of Narko's trap so I had to mine COPPER for cash but everything else is supreme gg my friend. Edit: I didn't know the bag had a stealth penalty so I removed it when entering Narko's trap.

Tamriel rebuilt is god tier world building.
Hahaha No. Just no.
1. Morrowind 2. Daggerfall 3. Oblivion 4. Skyrim 5. Arena
Just came here to say yes.
Way I've always thought of it was the simplification from Daggerfall to Morrowind. Daggerfall was almost a fantasy life sim, with a bunch of features that were cut to simplify Morrowind. But cutting those features stripped out a bunch of dead weight and opened up a lot of opportunity which gave Morrowind the chance to be a much better RPG. A much worse fantasy life sim, true, but the simplification was taken advantage of to tell a better narrative. With Oblivion and Skyrim the simplification mostly served to sell the games to more people. An understandable business decision but at the cost of long term quality.
Morrowind was my first game. My friend loaded it into my PC and off I went. This was just after it was released in 2002. It's still on my PC,and when ESO goes down for maintenance I play it. It's endless with all the fun mods that are on the Nexus for it. And the many other sites that have tons of older mods for it as well. However,MW isnt an easy game to play. You dont get arrows telling you where to go,or where your target is. Once you begin to get the play down it feels like an acomplishment
Need a morrowind remake mod
Turns out I can transfer it from Bethesda launcher to Steam because I got it for free with some Skyrim anniversary, but I really couldn't be asked to use the launcher
I played Morrowind like last year and honestly I prefer Skyrim, it’s just more appealing to me
I find the perfect combo of bags for looting is a wooden backpack for stacking items, a thieves backpack to give you the advantages of a medium bag with better stats for hauling your survival gear and extra carry room, and a large backpack for hauling a large volume of stuff. Just keep switching out bags as necessary depending on the situation.
I think ES6 and newer titles are going to be composable, that was always the aim of ES but technology never allowed for it. Everything they've learnt from Skyrim remasters likely means the next title will simply be expanded on for 30 years of DLC rather than "new" titles. They've also always wanted multiplayer so I think they're going to finally have that in the game this time.
You have some good points about defining a games quality by what the intention of the developer was, good visuals, good story etc.. but your point on them making new games to appeal to people who need to spend 30mins learning left from right isn't accurate anymore. That's who Halo 1, Morrowind etc.. were trying to appeal to, people who hadn't gamed before. Since 2010 games have gone so far downhill because they're relying on people remembering how good a previous title was to sell a new one, the focus has gone from having story make up for poor visuals, to great visuals making up for poor story.
Until you play it
Morrowind the game > Skyrim the game is just a hipster BS take.
I once read someone point out that "skyrim is as big as an ocean but as deep as a puddle" which really feels true once you learn what morrowind is like. Morrowind is a much more "respectful" game in the sense that it actually respects the player's intelligence in terms of the depth and quantity of choices, and the fact that it doesn't hold your hand. It doesn't treat you like a simpleton and oversimplify everything, it's designed in a way in which it expects you to be able to use your brain and figure things out. Most modern games oversimplify so much as if they expect the player to have some sort of brain damage and be unable to handle any real complexity or perform any even slightly challenging task that requires one to use their intellect.
the whole combat system argument is based on the basis of them trying morrowind for the first time not knowing how the class system works because its not as streamlined as skyrims and then miss every swing "bad game"
Started with Skyrim. Played through Oblivion. I haven’t had a chance to try out Morrowind but I’m currently playing Daggerfall for the first time. A bit out of order, huh? It’s certainly archaic but it’s neat so far. Bluntly, I may not actually finish it, but will play until I’m satisfied. Will eventually play Morrowind, sounds right up my lane.
