This is the best Skyrim DLC yet. It has new characters, new locations and lots of new armor and weapons. Don't let the 6 hour main quest turn you off, there is well over 20 hours of side-quests across island of Solstheim.

Yeah, it is a bubble, the whole industry knows it, and we're just waiting for the day it bursts. Hell, even Vivendi knows it.

Yeah, you're making dumb generalizations. Sorry, I'm not going to waste my time explaining to you why and how you are wrong. It isn't about if you are a "bad enough dude" to play a video game, it is about making good design choices. Vice City is the product of better design choices than San Andreas.

Good. I don't like or play LoL, but I really appreciate that Riot is aggressively trying to design against and discourage shitty behavior. Any and every bit of progress made on this front will benefit all of gaming.

This comment is so stupid it should be nominated for COTW.

He's tough, but he's not that tough.

The point of design is to make the best possible experience. Any time you design something that causes a multitude of your audience members to put the controller down and walk away is a bad design choice, no matter the intent.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I remember hearing about 50% of the TFU2 team being fired when the game went gold. That was shitty.

Sad how far LucasArts has fallen. What happened guys? Shadows of the Empire and Zombies Ate My Neighbors to TFU2? What the hell happened to this studio?

You are basically right. The problem is, that point is 10+ hours into the game. That is not taking into account people doing optional sidequests, I mean 10+ hours of just the main quests. It is a really abrupt and poorly executed transition.

Which is really sad, because that is essentially a "second beginning" point for the game. Everything you unlock and earn is wiped away, and you have to start over, with your first task being to find some shitty dirt-bike or old truck to drive your way back into society. And yeah, the tragedy about this poor pacing is…

It is easy to forget the flaws of San Andreas. It had a lot of great content, but the pacing was terrible for the first 1/3 of the game. I know a lot of people completely stopped playing when they got dumped out in the boonies.

Vice City

It is a bad cover but no, it doesn't matter at all. This is a pretty fluff topic, even for the video game community.

Yes, 8 months later, its over. Every opinion that could be expressed, every bit of feedback that could be given, has been. I am not talking about if someone plays the game for the first time this week and wants to share their opinion. I am talking about the people who have been wailing since march. It is over, the…

The problem is that idea that its "the whole appeal" - Tali, Liara, Wrex, Garrus, etc. aren't awesome characters because of the choices you can make. Saren and The Illusive Man aren't awesome antagonist characters because of that mechanic or feature. The appeal of choice is one of many merits of this game series, it…

Absolutely, the game advertised that feature. But the merits of a completely separate DLC story should not be determined by whether or not they import or change anything. A story can be improved or benefit from import features, but they do not require them to be good, or entertaining.
