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 3 тис.5 місяців 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

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 170 тис.7 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 ...

    I never understood why the combat system was so negatively received when the basis for RPGs is that you roll a die to see if you hit. I guess it sucks that you still need to physically hit the attack before you get the roll, but, whatever. people complain about Morrowind being a mystery that doesn't explain itself when they complain about things like this, but, the game also shipped with an instruction manual that explained how everything worked, including describing all spells. also, I think it's crazy that we used to be able to enchant or do alchemy from our inventory, and now the remaining system is bound to in-world elements. my wish is that ES6 is Morrowind-style done on the updated engine, but, god knows I'm no longer target market for this series.

    Here's a few of my favorite things from Morrowind; IIRC it's implied by Azura or one of the important story NPC's that i believe you find in a cave that gives a ton of exposition, that you may not actually even be the Nerevarine. And you're just another person that just happens to be in the right place, at the right times, under the right circumstances and just happen to be fulfilling each prophecy in the correct order. Because of the book quest, I have committed Vivec to memory. Crassius Curio, the author of The Lusty Argonian Maid lives in Vivec, Hlaalu Canton in Curio Manor. If you've completed all of Bloodmoon, and either mark down or remember where all the Sacred Stones are. You can go in to the Dragonborn DLC knowing exactly where all the All-Maker Stones are since they kept their locations in mind almost to a tee. If you've killed Vivec, you can still make a juryrigged Wraithguard. By taking the Unique Dwemer Artifact looted from him to Yagrum Bagarn. In Oblivion there is a book, my personal favorite book, the Ruins of Kemel-Ze. It describes a place in Vvardenfel, that you can actually visit when you play Morrowind. It tells you where it's nearby, which way to go and describes the area almost perfectly. The only caveat, is that it doesn't actually exist in the game Morrowind. But you can go to the exact area mentioned in the book, and see everything that's described around where Kemel-Ze is supposed to be.

    The best thing about tes games are world building and the best cities imo from 10 worst to 1 best are: 1. Vivec (Morrowind) 2. Murnhold (Morrowind) 3. New Seoth (Oblivion) 4. Imperial City (Oblivion) 5. Sadrith mora (Morrowind) 6. Ald'rhun (Morrowind) 7. Balmora (Morrowind) 8. Markarth (Skyrim) 9. Skingard (Oblivion) 10. Solitude (Skyrim) Yeah Morrowind got some great cities.

    One of my friends is big on coding, I won't pretend like I understand at all, but he REALLLY likes rpgs, and he's trying to make one with an absolutely vile magic system. Disclaimer, but he switches on a dime, and it doesn't look great, so don't expect a go fund me from Paul in the CS department soon. Basically you cast spells by making a physical circle that you must draw with a mouse and its power depends on the accuracy of what you're making and we all made fun of him for this (being too complex) but it is super cool. One I remember is a pentagram, which is demon summoning, and you draw a funny shape in the middle for a separate type of demon and I remember it bc he hates making AI and I think it was 'pathing' or something and he complained like a ton abt it. The idea is that you progress the mages' quest line to find more spell patterns, and you get better at magic as you play bc you get better at drawing, and you unlock better drawings. The sword fighting was also cool because, similarly, it's based on your movement and where you hit to counter enemies (knock back swords at the cost of stamina, cut limbs etc) although he hasn't figured out how to balance that against enemies because it feels a little too strong. It reminded me a lot of morrowind because of the terrible graphics and freedom you feel from playing. Right now, it's basically a field, a house, an npc, and a shadow man who tries to hit you and some patterns, but I am proud of my boy, poor man's been on it for MANY months.

    You are completely right i beat Skyrim several times on legendary difficulty with no magic, shouts or potions( unless it was required as part of the quest) only an iorn war ax, iorn shield andiron armor and never died i also didn't fast travel Skyrim has no immersion the game is almost like a big participation award it holds your hand the entire time i personally prefer oblivion but honestly Morrowind is an amazing game as well

    The fact they hav delayed the new Elder Scrolls for an entire year would suggest that you hit the nail on the head that ES6 is identical to the poor performance of NOMANSKYRIM... I have always thought skyrim was a bad game compared to oblivion and more specifically morrowind..... morrowind has more nerdy D&D aspects to it which people like us crave for an RPG. Skyrim is nothing more than a normie action adventure like you say and I don't enjoy that its had that level of interest because it stops being uniquely cool for me..... in skyrim i just totally wasnt interested in exploration because it was all the same and they should 100% remove fast travel - it destroys so much immersion - or you base fast travel in reality AT LEAST. I know that bethesda wont deliver on ES6 and i think it will kill them off for good because they can't afford to have another poor launch on a major triple A title. You heard it here first, ES6 will kill Bethesda. THEN, no doubt todd will break away from bethesda to make his own company and remake an RPG with morrowind-esc details...... shareholders killed this company, I don't believe the current state of bethesda align with Todd howards beleifs or we nev er would have had morrowind in the first place.

    Is Morrowind a great game with a great story.....yes, would most people play it ?....no, game companies realized that selling games is more important to stay in buisness than creating the greatest game. It was even one of the first to go to console and still only the 17th best selling xbox game far behind games like the halo's and gta 3. Oblivion, which i thought was better, didn't even sell that many more and it wasn't till skyrim that they really figured it out becoming the 8th best selling xbox game. Now this is just console but there are just as many of those as PC gamers and that is huge revenue for a game company. One final thought I like reading in a game but i don't like ONLY reading and that is what Morrowind is. if real life's entire dialog was written and not spoken it would be pretty boring.

    The only reason Skyrim was successful is because: 1. Massive marketing campaigns and carefully crafted hype during development and release 2. They gutted all RPG mechanics from the game to make it appealing to non-RPG fans Could you imagine if they did the same with dark souls after demon souls found it's niche audience ? This is why a lot of us can't stand Skyrim, it spelled the beginning of the end of Fallout and TES for hardcore RPG fans.

    And the people that focus on the graphics of a game from 2002 are everything that is wrong with modern video games. There is far more to gaming than just graphics, but your average zoomer/gen alpha doesn't seem to understand this. A pity. They're missing out on so many good games.

    My favorite game of all time, narrowly edging out Diablo II. EDIT - D: I am so tempted to start playing it again right now, what have you done. EDIT EDIT - Morrowind was an RPG because you can literally be anyone. It's even up to you whether or not you even do the Empire's business for them. You are thrown into local politics because your birthday is the same as some prophecy guy's birthday, and the Empire wants to see if you can leverage that into info for their Imperial benefit. You can tell everyone to F off and be a pearl diver on the Azura Coast, or spend your life fighting other Telvanni mages for their mushroom mage tower, or decide screw your past life, Imma be an Imperial SPY. In Skyrim, oh I am The Chosen One. No way. I STILL have not done the Skyrim main quest. I literally modded out the dragons because they were interfering with my attempts to build a peaceful life as a reindeer hunter with a husband and children, and the game would not let me do anything without puking dragons on my face to force me to pay attention to the *yawn* main quest. In fact, Skyrim was the dawn of the developers trying to force the player to play what they designed you to play, which is ... the opposite of Roleplaying. Skyrim was not and RPG. A game isn't an RPG just because some NPCs have pointy ears. Anyway, I'm going to put down the keyboard and back away now, ty.

    Nice one zoomie. Morrowind is my third favorite game of all time and it is THE greatest RPG of all time. I've never been so immersed in a game as have been in Morrowind. Nothing Bethesda has made since has come close to touching it and now they don't even make games close to touching those. This game can't happen in the current state of video games, it's literally impossible. The greatest fictional adventure anyone can participate in is there for those with the right mind to embark in one. It's a magical piece of art.
