Yes $2.00 is alot for two meshes...but despite this the game is still one of the best out...plus the play time ranges in hundreds of hours where most games now can only boast at tops 20hrs...I'll wait for a.nif exporter to be found that works and then dl functional horse armor (any of the other 6-7 styles of armor they didn't use) as well as all the free mods that the PC community can create and share....sorry 360ers this is why I bought it for PC.
I'm thinking that he's thinking it would increase the disk life by allowing you to keep it in a safe place and only need to take it out once and awhile.
It's not really a solution to the disk being f'd up, it's just something that would allow you to use it alot less which would help keep the disk from getting F'd up.
remember that all good books are entirely linear and only have one set ending, same with movies, some leave little to the imagination, others let you do the work instead, surely the same should be true of games?
Yeah but good books and good movies have good characters and good plotlines..etc,etc,etc. And very few games have this, and even games that have a good plot would be 10-15 pages if written up. If they wrote the story for Linear games the same as they wrote them for books/movies then yeah there would be some very good "on the rails" RPGs..
Exactly, I would psyched up reading the manual on the way home, and then when I started playing the game I wouldn't need to look at the manual...except for space sims like Privateer 2 and such with their multitude of buttons
Wrong, as much as I love The Elder Scrolls, they are not open ended, Filled with content-yes, massive ammount of gamespace that you can freely roam around and find little diversions-yes, open ended-no You cannot change the story in any way, you are just not forced to play the story but when you do it's the same every time, you still find the Heir and close the gates of Oblivion, there is no other possible outcome so it is One Ended not open ended.
It is on the other hand a wonderfully Open game where you can do whatever you want, but the story and thus the END of the game is set and doesn't change in any way no matter what you do in the game.
Now if what you are saying is that with the construction set you can change the story then yes it's open ended once the Player community gets it, but the game that ships out to the customer is not open ended
As much as I love the Elder Scrolls, they are not "open-ended" because the end of the main storyline is the same no matter how you play.
For Example, in Morrowind you could only destroy the tools, not use them to make yourself a god, or use them to make the Three gods, gods again
But they are awsome in that they are open games, with many many diversions which allow for multiple hours of fun without playing the "main" Game. And with the PC versions you basicly have an almost unlimited ammount of extra fun, (though you would need at least two people making mods for each other to keep this going...because if you make everything it's not too fun to play, since you know where everything is and the correct way to end it.)
Whatever floats your boat, the downloadable content means they're making official Mods that you can DL via Xbox live or online for a fee kinda like mini expansions
Morrowind was not appreciably better on PC compared with the XBox, not enough to overcome that barrier, so I don't expect Oblivion to be any different. Especially since I don't possess the sort of hardware that would make the PC version playable in the first place.
Uh....Improved draw distance, player created content, for example, better textures for characters, more creatures, more NPC, more quests/dungeons/Rideable mounts...etc, etc, etc...The difference between Morrowind on the Xbox and on the PC is huge. it's basicly Xbox Morrowind^10
By the way I played both and love them both, MW was a great game, just on the PC it's much more content...so instead of a game you can play for 3 years it's like a game you can play untill the next game comes out and still not be done.
An updated FFVII on the PS3 would be a definite reason for many people to buy a PS3, If you ask favorite FF game it's usually III (VI US) or VII, now if they remade both of them for the PS3 then it would be crazy
Yes and if you had waited like me (cuz I'm poor, not cuz any planning) then you could get the new Gforce 7900 series of Video Cards, or at least the 7800 will be cheeper because of it.
Oh and for all you "Xbox is cheeper" it aint, to get the HD resolution that you'll be getting on a computer, you need to buy the X360 and an HD tv.
I'm spending one months salary on my new machine..and 2.5 months on "the rings"
So would you say that I am one and a half times more committed to my Girl or that she's just one and a half times more expensive?

My only real problem with MMO's, I can't stay interested enough to justify the 15/month, Most single player RPG's on the computer have a fair-decent plot, so I'm kinda confused by you statement "level grind of computer RPGs"
I can't wait till they make two geneticly altered snakes, on a Boa and one a Python and then set them loose in an generic underground facility, then set a group of Hunters on one, and on the other they have this group of military testing mind controll on the other one...THAT would be a good experiment

Yes but there are well over 400-500 Mods out there now that are user made and free

Well not Jesus, he's prolly listening to John Lennon right now...but America...gotta watch out for them, they almost banned the Beatles
I'm berry glad

You missed step 2.5. ????
That would be cool if they did some kind of Jade empire style MMO
If they put all the features in Fable 2 that they were going to put in Fable it would be a very awsome game.
a group of high-profile security researchers is ramping up
Isn't it He is ramping , they are ramping ?
