>Dumb down series>It sells like hotcakes Why is this so common?
>>741450706normalfags are low iq
it came out during the time of epic bacon viking shit being very popular among millennials + it coincided with the release of GoT which was one of the biggest shows of all time.
you are the normalfags. which is why you all praise wow and think it invented mmos when it just dumbed everything down and made it so easy even 8 year olds play it
>>741450870>brings up irrelevant game for no reason>thinks all of /v/ is one personclassic. risperidone, olanzapine, quetiapine, aripiprazole, and lurasidone are all very effective medication for schizophrenia. discuss this with your doctor.
>>741450706People are dumb. Simple as.
>>741450706It's approachable by a wider audience? Seems pretty simple I would have thought
>>741451016>NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND ITS NOT THE SAME!!!its literally the entire games industry, dumbed down for retards like yourself, sells like hot cakesyou're the normalfag loser
>>741451212what the fuck are you saying? i dont give a fuck about wow same as i dont give a fuck about skyrim. can you chill the fuck out schizo retard?
>>741450706vikings and dragons appeal to young adult males more than weird but charming fantasy comedy Oblivion, and the art direction was much much better, and it was clearly made for console first, which Morrowind was not.
>>741450706That's not Oblivion
>completing the main quest doesn't stop dragons from spawning>after picking a side in the civil war, you can approach enemy soldiers, settlements, and forts in their opponents armor and not get attacked on sight
>>741451334kek, knew there would be a morrowtroon jumping in to white knight skyrim
>>741451334Oblivion didn't sell as well as Skyrim
>>741451416i love how we're just making shit up now like the idea that morrowind fans would ever in one trillion years defend skyrim lmao
>/v/ tards start Bitching and blaming each otherSoo tiresome...The simple answer is normies play games for fun period.
>>741451685There is an odd amount of people who love to shit on oblivion while pretending they ever played morrowind and acting like skyrim isnt just an even worse distillation
>>741450706Keep it simple, stupid.
Is there anyone unc enough to prefer Arena and Daggerfall over Morrowind?
>>741450824It is responsible for viking shit being popular.
>>741451935troons, yeah.
>>741450706>make best TES game>it sells like hotcakesWhy is this so uncommon?
>>741450706It was also hitting the world when gaming and fantasy was going mainstream.
>>741452002not really. viking stuff was already pretty popular among the millennial crowd at the time. having a big beard, lumberjack fashion and general ironic masculinity was THE hipster mode of operation in the late 2000s. redditors also got on it and thought that viking stuff was cool as fuck as well as the aforementioned bacon fixation and "classy like a sir" stuff. there was also this weird idea that viking society was like some progressive, egalitarian society where feminism ruled and werent oppressed by "judeo-christian" morality and other cartoonish shit like thathttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leK2WkAHLYk
>>741450706its great as a babbies first rpg
>>741450706Skyrim has more depth than oblivionDon't (you) me, you know I'm right
>>741450706lots of people are willing to pay for something they are usually not going to dedicate the time and or effort to learn like how any mongoloid can play a kazoo but they probably wont ever write a song and so kazoos sell a bajillion cheap terrible sounding units every year
Nobody wants to play CRPGs, unc.
>>741450706>>741450823>>741451061>>741451175Correlation does not equal causation.its fair to say that Oblivion and skyrim would have sold just as well if they didnt dumb the series down as much as they did. Oblivion was like the only RPG on the xbox360 at the time, it was practically a launch title. it would have sold more copies than morrowind even if if it was more complex than morrowind.Also the open world thing was still kind of novel at the time.
>>741450706If you really need to ask, you probably aren't as smart as you think you are.
Bethesda is the worst case of missed potential and mismanagement in gaming while still failing upwards. They threw the baby out with the bathwater when they went to make their games more accessible as they had 0 finess in doing so and just ripped out features that fans enjoyed, making their games more accessible by taking away options in how to play the game. The games were literally marketed as "living another life" and letting you play how you want but then they remove features because having too many options in playing how you want is bad?They have a mix between action combat and RPG character building where there are no attributes for the RPG side of things and the action combat is terrible on top of that, it tries to find the middle ground and fails at both things. The type of gamer who just wants a walking sim and talking to NPCs for stories who doesnt care about combat other than to see cool visuals wont complain about the character building or mechanics being mediocre though. You level up a character and apply perks to increase power as you level up. As your power increases exponentially the world level scales with you so that regular enemies are not too easy. Makes sense right? until you ask what the point is in having exponential power increases when you are just going to apply level scaling in an effort to balance it out anyways. This leads to problems of unengaging combat in one case or frustratingly annoying damage sponges in others depending on if you minmaxed or not.
>>741451263>HUIUHH ??!!! WAAAAAAAAAHJHHAAAATTT??!!!>I DONT CARE!!!1nice argument, classic reddit passive aggressivenessyou're a cuck, you have nostalgia for wow and think skyrim is any different. games as a whole have been dumbed down to walking forward with single button press cutscene simulatorsyou're a retard and it caters to you
>>741451935If you like Sterfield then yeah
