I remember Pipe Dreams, Chip's Challenge, and that whole "Best of Entertainment" pack. I'm old.

I want this game. Bioshock was criticised for not being SS2, and rightly so. What (I believe) some people missed was that it was still great fun.

Apart from the 'dress up as a big daddy' sequence. That was not fun.

i dont expect to jump in and just start kicking arse. i expect a human(halfling/elf/half-elf/whatever) to be able to walk down the road with out getting attacked by a spider and dying. perhaps thats just my experience with it though. i never got to the point of finding out the plot line, because i was too busy dying.

it was just frustrating. Oblivion was what morrowind should have been. (in terms of gameplay, not story or graphics.) At a low level, one was still able to accomplish something without being killed.

You know, when I first started Morrowind, I remember thinking just like you still do. I'd get ganked by a mudcrap and die, and I'd get really worn off by it. I remember originally buying the game, selling it. Later I pirated it for the PC and found a new love for it. Then I bought the Game of the Year edition for xbox. Its all about the way you build your character. I did not have any issues dying on tries after I started playing again and took the time to be build a strong well balanced character

lol did chips challenge ever end?

If you'd said this to begin with I wouldn't have pointed my angry stick at you. However, what I gleaned - perhaps wrongly - from your very brief post was that you expect Morrowind to be something it isn't. If you don't like the art style, gameplay, plot, or even the graphics then I'm fine with that and will not be a dick to you about it. Because honestly the graphics were dated even when it was released and the gameplay is cumbersome. But what I got from your post is that you expect it to be an action game. And it really isn't.



If you ever play Morrowind enough to figure it out you would eat those words.

Morrowind is the kind of game that does not nurture the player. It gives you everything straight up and doesn't compromise for you. It's entirely possible to kick some major arse early on if you know what to do. And yeah, you can be a god at level 1 if you exploit the mechanics a little bit, but that's another story. It's a game where you really do have to build your character into the hero. Sure it involves some a lot of grinding, but it's a goddamn role playing game.

You can't really expect to grab a sword and run off to conquer the world. There's a hell of a lot to learn and consider about where you're going, who you're fighting, and what you're trying to achieve. All of the information needed to get by is right there in the game, you just need to seek it out. And yes, you have to work for it.

Oblivion basically rubber bands everything so you can play the game without having to really think about leveling your character. They probably could have removed the level system entirely and it wouldn't have made a difference. Morrowind makes you work for victory. Some people love that and others are put off by it. But there's a great journey to be found there if you're willing to let the game kick your arse a little.

But that's enough about Morrowind. **** yes Wall Pipe Game you are awesome.

Would you kindly stop talking about Morrowind and get back to Bioshock.

Chips Challenge was my favorite game. Ever. One of the first puzzle games I beat.

BIOSHOCK thread is BIOSHOCK

Why is the BIOSHOCK thread now about MORROWIND ?

Tibby, people got the point when the last 3 others pointed it out.

-pat pat- I know you're trying to fit in and all, but might wanna consider your posts a little more

this

Yeah, it was a fun game. The first time. It was a whole lot less fun after the BILLIONTH ****ING TIME. I'm so good at that ****ing game I should be a certified plumber by now.

I don't think anyone heard me, so I'll say it louder:

I always did love how hacking security cameras and sentries = plumbing.

BIOWIND

Anyway, I'll have to get around to reinstalling Bioshock and playing all the way through this time.... I'll probably get morrowind put back on too since I miss playing that game too...

Is that the game where you try to pee in the direction of the wind and get a bonus if you pass the 4 yards checkpoint?

No, its what Fishstickz calls Flatulence.

Why is Bioshock BIOSHOCK?

I finished this game back in December and enjoyed it immensely. Hopefully the sequel can live up to the first game.

I think Bioshock 2 would be better if Bethesda made it.

You know, the people that made Morrowind.

Morrowind was p cool. Did anyone else play it?

They also made Oblivion, to be fair.
