The other thing I don't like that much is when there's a
trend of it - like it is now - that EVERYTHING HAS to look so - because "everyone" believes it's just cool.
as I wrote t in the RPGWatch Forum : It appeals to me much more, when it is outside of any trend. Because
then ,
I have the feeling of some people following an unique artistic vision - and not following something simply because it's hip. Dark & gritty games during a trend that says : "Everything must be colourful & lighthearted !" - I would most certainly buy it, becaue it wouzld be "different" then.
And vice versa.
But on the other hand I'm also more pickier than I once was.
I just don't buuy anything anmore, regardless.
Nowadays, I only buy what I think will be fun in my eyes. Now I certainly believe you're very difficult to be "pleased" ... but in some way I can follow your "thoughts" ... just follow and buy games that are "hip" ... that's not following your OWN intuition/feeling etc ...
Mostly the games I like are NOT that of the big "group of people" ... but I can imagine a hyped rpg like Skyrim you, alrik, wouldn't buy it, just because of that, right ?
I bought Oblivion a few years ago (starting playing on xbox360), but first:
* in some way the RPG-elements can't hold my attention for long (and another rpg take my time
, see the second reason! )
* and second: I bought an Xbox because I was annoyed to upgrade my pc again and again just for playing a new game and so I bought that Xbox in first place for a special reason: playing
Divinity II !!
I think if I try Oblivion again and give it a second change, I can enjoy it, but the level-up system isn't that nice. But this feature will be different in Skyrim and that's the reason I wish to give Skyrim a change. Also I love mountains and snow & the nordic style of the game ! ... maybe stupid reasons to buy a game
I have no HIGH expectations about Skyrim ... just play and see if I like it. If not, sell it to a game store or player can't be a real problem .
Today I read something about Risen 2 deep Waters in a magazine (I played Risen for some time), but I don't love Pirates & guns in a (rpg) game !
So I say NO to that upcoming game ! Just an example.
Risen 2 is NO fun for me, I simply "feel" it, but Skyrim will be fun for me ... just to explore the world of Skyrim with snow and mountains and dark dungeons ... talk with npc's and doing quests ... and I wil be pleased, I know
And in the most worst case, if the outcome of Skyrim really feels bad for me, I can always play again and again Divinity II
!
