dupont2005 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 There was something satisfying about getting "something" in selling my old 360 games over the past few weeks. Cannot do that with a digital copy. True, but I have three games in my cart right now, three games I REALLY wanted, a grand total of $24.50. These are new games, selling for $25-$30 each in stores. So the PS3 games I sold for between $5 and $15 last week, that I paid $50 each for a year or two prior, I'm fine losing that money on the tail end and not having to sell anything.

Ken Aldred Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I just started playing Skyrim for the first time! There goes all of my free time! You can get immersed in the game for a very, very long time. You should consider playing the preceding Elder Scrolls title, Oblivion, as well. Fantastic RPGs. I found Oblivion harder to get into. A bit too much in depth in certain aspects than Skyrim Oblivion was the first RPG I'd played since Final Fantasy 7, and I really enjoyed it. I was glad I persisted with it. You had to be quite careful with the levelling system ; Skyrim's is better. I do get what you mean when you compare the two Elder Scrolls games against each other, though.

Oblivion is a fantastic game, but yeah, the leveling system, spells, and some side quests were just too much for me. Which is funny because I have searched out every little detail possible for Skyrim (250 hours and 15MB save later) and I have less than half this on Oblivion.

ChrisInBaltimore Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I felt like the combat system in Oblivion was chunky and boring. It made combat tedious and incredibly difficult. Like you mentioned, side quests were frustrating and hard to follow at times. They improved a lot for Skyrim. Making combat two handed improved it ten fold. I also felt like the world felt more inviting and appealing. Skyrim was one of the few games that I really enjoyed just wondering for hours. It was neat when you'd get on top of a mountain and you could SEE for miles. I've logged a TON of hours on Skyrim. I had all the achievements until they started adding all the DLC.

kagenish Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I've got my genesis, ps1, ps2 and ps3 to keep me occupied. I have a free 14 day trail for PSN+ and I wasn't going to bother with it, but my better half gave me a pre order for Elderscrolls Online, so I am looking at getting it finally. Anyone else with PSN+? Is it really worth $50 a year? I'm kinda pissed at paying $80 or so for an online game to have to pay to play it on the PS4 as well. I really don't see why everyone has to be so freaking greedy these days. i would say yes because i been i PS+ member since day one, save a ton of money with some of the games i got and some of the games that you get for free are not bad at all, i got Bioshock Infinite for free being enjoying the game. plus if you are planning to buy a ps4 in the future & you are a PS+ you can go to the playstation store website log in go to the ps4 free PS+ games and click download or purschase, it would go into a download list once a ps4 system is link into the same account the game would start downloading.

This, not to mention sometimes finding easter eggs/surprises at the top of a mountain. Like at the peak of the throat of the world where you get the notched pickaxe and some ebony ore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadpoolJr. Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 http://finestsquad.com/ These guys are the heroes we both need & deserve! -slym I wouldn't be so sure about that slim, Anonymous has said that members in Finest, are actually members in Lizard Squad. Also Lizard Squid claims it was only stopped, because they were payed off by Kim Dotcom when he gave them vouchers for his encryption upload service. PS4 is still down however, with LS still claiming their the cause, even with some members like Jordie, who Finest has claimed to have doxed, with his info on their website, making games like Destiny free to download.

dupont2005 Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) I was able to get my games purchased, haven't tried downloading them yet. I'm not as worried about it now that I know I didn't miss out on the sale. Also I work the next couple days anyway. Good to hear it's getting fixed though.
