    Borderlands 2, and why it's a terrible game

    Now I remember why I stopped visiting gaming sites in general and this site in particular.

    Borderlands 2, and why it's a terrible game

    You don't understand what a "fact" is. The term "fact" refers to an axiom which is so universally believed that it is accepted as incontrovertible. It is a very different thing from "truth," which is a metaphysical quality. Given your pugnacious, unpleasant attitude, I have zero interest in...

    Borderlands 2, and why it's a terrible game

    This is why media critics don't take the gaming industry seriously. It's still regarded as the purview of sh!t-talking, antisocial basement dwellers. Believe it or not, it's possible for people to have an opinion different from yours, Dagmar, and not be de facto wrong. Google gives me 86,300...

    Borderlands 2, and why it's a terrible game

    It never fails. No matter what the forum, no matter what the game, any time anyone finds problems with a game which make it hard or frustrating or both, there's always someone there to say the criticisms are wrong, the game is flawless, and easy, and anyone who doesn't have the same experience...

    Borderlands 2, and why it's a terrible game

    This thread has virtually the same complaints I've posted here... and virtually the same responses.

    Borderlands 2, and why it's a terrible game

    Every single one of you who has replied here has said you're playing with at least one other person. I have been playing entirely alone, which has two effects: first, it means my loot is less rare, which means my guns are much less effective and my shields aren't as strong, and second, it means...

    Borderlands 2, and why it's a terrible game

    So I acquired Borderlands 2 and all the DLCs recently, and sat down to play it. I played the original Borderlands several times through and rather enjoyed it. It wasn't a perfect game by any means, had plenty of frustration, and felt annoyingly grindy, but the quirky characterizations and the...

    Druids in Skyrim

    The Apocalypse Spell mod includes a whole new set of conjuration spells which allow you to summon spirit animals ranging from sabre cats to mammoths. No spirit horkers, sadly. It also has conjuration specialization, so you can get bonuses to a specific class of summonings; specialize in spirit...

    Dead thrall weirdness/bug

    Dead thralls usually disappear because they use the script for horses, so when you fast travel to a town, they arrive outside at the stables and have to rush inside to catch up. If you fast travel again before you notice they're missing, they'll lose track of you and stop following. In my case...

    Quest how did you do the goldenglow estate quest?

    How did I do the Goldenglow Estate mission? I'm very glad you asked... Erekose the Orc rumbled up to the gate, daedric axes clanking together and dropping little sparks of eldritch flame which left small brush fires in his wake. Clad in the massive, bleached white bones of the ancient dragons...

    Spoiler Paarthurnax?

    I got so annoyed that I hunted down and installed a mod which allows me to convince the Blades not to kill Paarthurnax. I don't regard this as cheating; it's more along the lines of a James T. Kirk solution to the Kobyahi Maru. The reason is that Bethesda is notorious for pulling stunts like...

    Dead thrall weirdness/bug

    I know dead thrall is buggy as hell, but I've run into a bug I haven't encountered before, and Google says I may be the only one having it. I have twin souls, but when I have two dead thralls active, there's about a one in five chance that one of the thralls will die every time I transition...

    Hearthfire Freezing

    Yes, I've figured it out. Bethesda is too busy snorting blow off the breasts of $2000 an hour hookers with all your money to do something as boring as fixing bugs. Seriously, does anyone on Earth at this point actually expect Bethesda to give a damn about their games once they have your money...

    Skyrim VS New Vegas

    I like how the people who are actually ranting get back-patting and high-fives from console users who are experiencing grievous levels of butthurt. Never mind that I indicated clearly that using a console doesn't make one stupid, just that consoles greater lower the bar for minimum necessary...

    Fun things to do on Skyrim when bored

    Turn off my computer, walk down to the river, sit on a bench, and smoke my pipe while feeding the birds or watching the boats.

    Skyrim VS New Vegas

    Games designed for PC are much harder than games designed for consoles. This is because it takes a certain base level of intelligence to operate and maintain a PC. While I'm sure there are nuclear physicists and great philosophers who own an Xbox, the fact is that all it takes to possess one...

    Xbox 360 Have had it! FIX Arcwind Point!

    Bethesda has a well-deserved reputation for releasing unfinishing bugware and using its paying customers as beta-testers. On the PC, we always get an unofficial bug fix patch made by dozens of people donating their time to repair things which should have been done by Bethesda if they weren't too...
