bnw: filled in so many of Oblivion's weaknesses. not perfect but is so much closer then any game around this genre has ever gotten. just imagine if they improve the combat system next.
this just blew my mind
― diamonddave85, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 02:44 (twelve years ago) link
whatever it'll be, it'll be an improvement - just an outdated one

thx zs & forks, awesome work! loved the gifs.
― Touché Gödel (ledge), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 08:38 (twelve years ago) link
great job. but see this is why i didn't vote. the only game on that whole list that I've played is battlefield 3, and I wouldn't even rate that highly.
You guys have tempted me into Skyrim though.
― PSOD (Ste), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 08:58 (twelve years ago) link
oh and Saints Row the third, again wouldn't have rated it.
― PSOD (Ste), Tuesday, 17 April 2012 09:00 (twelve years ago) link
thanks forks and zs, great job. gifs were outstanding. results pretty abysmal tho. surprised solitaire didn't make the top 5.

requisites for contributing to next year's polling? did everyone w/ a write-up actually *play* all the games tallied here? i'd like to do at least one write-up... i'm opinionated enough about some stuff that i could write for pretty proper lengths and not concern myself w/ things like me3's intolerable ending. i am an a+ student.
― kelpolaris, Tuesday, 17 April 2012 16:56 (twelve years ago) link
I, for one, didn't play any of the games I wrote about

lamp's comments on RH are accurate:
with radiant historia i think of that old vaudeville joke that the simpsons ripped off where homer tries to by the monkeys paw: it has an innovative and reasonably challenging battle system! thats good! but it still requires some tedious grinding! thats bad! it tries to tell an ambitious, complicated story about the cost of war! thats good! it does so with dialogue shorn of any nuance or ambiguity! thats bad! &c &c &c.
I still liked it a ton.
