imo stop gaming for a while and focus on industry certifications. I quit playing games entirely for about 6-7 years and put all that time into work related things and trust me you will be glad you did.

just some friendly advice and god bless

I should probably do the same with software development. Don't think I would have gotten the recent raise I acquired if I'd been involved with video gaming at all.

Itching to play something though, thinking preferably single player in order to avoid a sense of responsibility. Heard there's people keeping 100% raid attendance and Americans who've adopted 3 AM raid times, some didn't realize the summer came and went.

Already the master of zee Peee veee Peee, bro.

Heard all there's left is to mess with TMO raids as Empire rolls 90 deep with the only challenge being who can keep 100% RA the longest.

Time to go on an adventure.

morrowind is cool, find a goty coppy, and mod it a bit, some good pre-made mod packs for u too, can be as beautiful or more than skyrim. even unmodded its still fun, but not as cool

Morrowind is a masterpiece.

It's more complex then it's sequels, and has a unique fantasy world.

The game fucking ruined my grades in college.

Marrowind is Oblivion is Skyrim, just different time frames, and different graphics. They are all great games but get mundane quickly. Try the Witcher series if you want some well made games. Witcher 1 was badass the first time through.

If you are looking for a 1 player game you should get Dark Souls. You still have multiplayer aspects because you can do coop or invade other peoples world but it is a great hardcore 1 player game. You can make it a lot tougher by not summoning people in to help if you are looking for a challenge.

PC and console work. If you are playing on PC you will want a controller anyways.

I clicked the live journal link and it was just a template. I don't think Colgate knows how to FQ. (yes. this is the most srs fucking post in the world for you blockheads)

I agree morrowind is way more deep.

I had more fun modding oblivion than I did actually playing it. I did play Oblivion first on the Xbox and that was pretty fucking awesome for about a month.

Morrowind is an amazing game and if you have not played any of the elder scrolls series it's a awesome launching point, especially if you get the newer graphics enhancing mods.

It was ground breaking for an Xbox game because of picking up every random item instead of static scenery and buildings, giant word you can roam in free and make your own adventures and develop your character however you want, and finally all of the npcs and story line.

That said. It is a dated game with somewhat clunky combat, dated AI and dated graphics

It was the first game I ever really got into on such a deep level, however I would suggest fallout 4 or skyrim.

Lets just say I have as many hours into morrowind as I do into both League, Starcraft and Dota.

That's how great the game is, especially if you get it nodded for better combat more spells etc.

Marrowind is a classic; I wouldn't play it at this point without combat/character advancement mods.

You might as well play Fallout 4: fantastic gameplay, beautiful world, thoughtful itemization, engaging questlines, dynamic and challenging novel encounters with lifelike AI opponents.

Weapon customization is also rewarding and straight-forward (though I use codes for all the materials, you won't find me scrubbing the wasteland for Adhesive).

Nothing quite like building a .50 cal short barrel suppressed hunting rifle with a pistol grip and headshotting mutants followed by malatov cocktails and a shotty...

morrowind is pretty cool but as every elder scroll game after u put hours into it... u feel like you are stuck doin the same think all over again in the same scenario ( the dungeons are like copy of each other with diferent monsters and stuff like that , etc)....

Went through a downloading frenzy recently to try out a couple of games.

Cant seem to really get into games nowadays but theres a good chance people could get into games like:

- Witcher 3

- Fallout 4
(sort of same ole though stopped playing after 3 days, so glad i didnt pay for it)

- Faster than light with these mods
http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=15663

- Age of wonders 3

- Pillars of eternity

- Divinity Original sin

- Halfway

- Huniepop

- Convoy

- Satellite reign

- Xenonauts

- neoscavenger

- Project zomboid with mods

--

Theres a point where games will feel horribly dated and morrowinds leveled monsters didnt pass the test last time i installed it

Dark souls/Demon souls series are some of the best games going IMO. If you use any sort of guide for your first playthrough you are doing yourself a disservice. Only resort to guides once you are completely lost!

The online FFs are some of the biggest abominations ever created. The game auto plays battles, there's craptons of unnecessary fetch quests and traveling back and forth, etc.

Challenge yourself less, I dare you.

You cant make your own servers if im not mistaken. Thats huge.

Im still playing Jedi Academy like 10 years later, i can do the same thing with unreal 2004.

What if they decide to shut down the servers when they decide in 2-3 years to launch another SW game? So much fail in whats around the game, notwithstanding what the game is actually like.

Asking people to pay 50$ for content you have no idea what its gonna be is seriously taking people for suckers. As long as people fall for it, why should they stop doing it?

Rule #1 stop being a sucker enabler. Boycott EA

I said the same thing about Star Wars Galaxies after trying it out.

Didn't stop tens of thousands of fanboys from hanging out in cantinas and grinding class xp in hope of unlocking Jedi.

Sometimes strong IP can make up for meh gameplay. Honestly it doesn't have to be stellar, it just has to be adequate.

SWG was a sandbox done horribly. It learned almost nothing from UO, magnifying the FOTM (flavor of the month) problems.

SWG was only fun if you were a temploiter. Sure, it's fun if you can take on (and kill) crowds of people at low risk, because you read about the best temploits online. Yey combat medics!

But as a whole, the game was a remarkable failure of undelivered promises, a system built on grinding, and the absolute worst balance I've ever seen in an MMO.

iruinedyourday
11-17-2015, 06:21 PM
haha SWG was the most broken a game can get without it becoming fun becuse of how broken it was.

I went to a dark spot on a planet and it was a cave in a volcano full if IG-88 droids that had no scripting or code or AI, i just attacked one and killed it after like 20 minutes of my meager DPS and got an xp reward

It did have like one area where a group of empire scouts were at a small out post and some ai reble would fight them and that was cool

I went to Yavin 4 to see what reminaed of the rebel outpost there and in the GIANT room was 1 empire dude that said nothing when you 'hailed' him

I was able to get a full suit of stormtrooper armor at lunch tho becuse there was a bug that everyone got the reawrds in your group whenever anyone did a quest turnin.. so we would jus tmake 6 man groups that did the quest to give you stormtrooper armor.

Every day I wake up and before I go to work i say outloud, "i wish the old republic MMO was in the SWG universe, and the SWG mmo was in the Knights of the old republic"

oh well im going to play Defeat the Heros mode in SWBF and pretend im playing an MMO and have already got the BIS gear: http://www.polygon.com/2015/11/17/9749528/star-wars-the-force-awakens#ooid=JlZm12eDqwZRISEFrfjAqGlrrPDJEvJ_
