The key here really is that Bethesda, like many Game Developers, are well on their way down the slippery slope that comes with money and a few big titles in their pants. Unfortunately, just like cars, once a manufacturer puts a couple of nice titles out there and makes a few quid there are two...

I always enjoy Yahtzee's reviews, although on this occasion i reckon he didnt put enough emphasis on the buggy crap. This title is really called Fallout because I am seriously starting to fall out with my reset button which i have to hit 20 or 30 times a day since i started playing this. Having...

Just to clarify a couple of points and correct a couple more. "Learnt" yes that was a typo, and no "Teach" isn't the correct replacement. Yes I am complaining that the game has been made easier. Why you all feel the need to keep asking if that is what I am complaining about is beyond me...

Not at all. I actually got banned from the Wow forums because i called the moderators nazi's. The were deleting any posts that read anything other then sunshine and love for Blizz. A forum by definition is a place for people to discuss and voice their opinions. But he Blizz mods don't seem to...

Yes Mr T, Mini-Me and ozzy have a lot to answer for :P

Interesting. So someone like me who dislikes the changes, complains and quits the game, is a whiny fanboy, but someone who wanders happily along defending the game, the developers and insulting anyone who disagrees isnt? kind of backward methinks.

WIthout wishing to provoke a debate. It seems to me like another case of "Too heavily invested in it to admit its been screwed". Yes when BC and WOLK were released a certain amount of adjustment was needed, but not on this scale. And never before has the game been Dumbed down in such a huge way...

Don't misunderstand. I play a console myself. What I'm saying is that instead of trying to appeal to the MMO demographic who like to feel like they are putting something of themselves in their characters, and can have a relative amount of freedom in play style, they have moved closer still to...

My thoughts on World of Warcraft Patch 4.0.1... Blizz have had a habit of Nerfing difficulty. It is something they have repeatedly done over time, but never to such a huge extent. Some of the ideas that they have about improving replay value, are truly idiotic. Most studios try to add...

I was surprised Yahtzee didnt slate this too much. I felt ripped off after i bought it and on normal setting on first playthrough had completed it in 5 hours, and I'm not even that good at fps. The story moves way too fast and half the time the link between missions didn't seem to make any...

Its interesting to see the titles that people have come up with so far. The very nature of a good computer game is that it draws us into the story, or the action, to the point where we almost forget that we are playing a game at all. Some games are simply addictive puzzles, or quick thinking...

I've been doing a bit of retro gaming lately. Maybe it's just to have a break from the plethora of MMO's that I kill my free time with, and also, I just occasionally like to look back at games that made me say WOW! years ago, and now make my eyes hurt from strain. It got me to thinking about...

Yes Aion let the side down hugely. The problem is that you are more or less forced into pvp, and as you already commented, performance is pretty poor at that scale. As for Blizzard being justified in the things they charge for, To a certain degree you are correct. A monthly sub is justified...

Like many people, I thoroughly enjoyed playing City of Heroes / Villains, from very early on, and for a long time. The playerbase was far more grown up than that of World of Warcraft, and the way that the game was set up, meant there was far less room for elitism. As the years rolled on though...

Lots of points to read there from very valid opinions. Just to answer a few. My definition or "Real impact" is that your decisions have more impact then the illusionary impact that Bioware games have, where you still end up at the same point in the story eventually, and your choices more or less...
