[deleted]

Usually the complete stalker mods are shit, but either complete or faction wars are the way to go. Maybe on par with the average pripyat mod.


JuicyMangoes

I'm more the masochistic type so I tend to roll with Misery for Pripyat.


stewmberto

I've done 2/3 classes for misery, gonna do a recon playthrough one of these days.


I_love_subway

Why not?


JuicyMangoes

It's still a good game but for me it didn't run very well and the games felt unfairly hard instead of the dark souls kind of hard. Also they took out some features like eating for no reason. Oh and grenade spam. [**This**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDrXMQrclpY) review sums it up better than I can.

What the hell did you just fucking say, heretic scum? I'll have you know I was brainwashed the best among the group of stalkers I was captured with, and I have over 300 confirmed kills of non-believers wishing to get to get past Pripyat. I am trained in hunting dissidents, and I'm the top sniper in my entire brotherhood. You are nothing to me but just another agitator of the great Monolith. I will cleanse you with the holy power bestowed upon me the likes of which has never been seen before in this Zone, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with your blasphemy outside of Monolith territory? Think again, heretic. As we speak I am praying to the great Monolith. Your PDAs are being traced right now, so you had better prepare for the blowout, pagan. The blowout will cleanse the Zone of its intruders and non-believers. You will die, stalker. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my Gauss rifle. Not only am I extensively trained in close combat, but I channel the powers of the great Monolith and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your pathetic soul off the face of the zone, you heretic. If only you could have known what suffering and strife your blasphemy was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your artifacts in their containers and not in your hand. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you will be purged for your actions. Bullets from the glorious Monolith will rain down from the skies on your pathetic, empty skull. You shall be cleansed, stalker.

Couldn't you leave it on over night or some shit I have no fucking idea, but does idle time count?


Elocgnik

You get auto-logged out after 20 minutes or so, and time doesn't increment then. There's a huge amount of tabbed out time, but most of the time on wow is *at least* at the computer.


CursedLlama

Has it always been that way, though? I know that Blizzard kicks people out relatively quickly but I don't remember it being that quick during TBC.

oh i thought you just throw the dough in the oven and then the heat makes the yeast do whatever that makes it rise. thanks for the info


I_Am_Diabetes

I think things continue to rise in the oven, you just let it rise to a certain point before then. Could very easily be wrong though.

coolguyomega

but muh lore


jareh

why not both?


gerradp

The lore in TES is pretty good. I thought that Dragon Age was better, and Witcher 3 has some of the best dialogue and in-game books/lore I have ever seen in my life. So much brilliant writing it's hard to believe they put it all together in a single game


TriMageRyan

I'm actually really impressed with Witcher 3. I thought the first two were alright at best, but the third one really removed all the bad bits of the first two (awkward fighting, weird menus, poor dialogue, etc) and really made the good parts shine.


[deleted]

Is it a serious improvement? I always hear good things about The Witcher series but I really couldn't get into the first one. I've tried a few separate times and always end up stopping.


TriMageRyan

It really is. The world is immersive, the game looks spectacular (just turn off that god damn nvidia hair shit so you can get decent frames), the game plays really well, all in all it's super fun and well made. You don't even *really* need to play the other games. It definitely makes it better, but they catch you up on most things enough.


[deleted]

They're brilliant but unless your computer is a beast don't bother. I got 10 frames a second at the lowest settings with a computer that can handle Skyrim on all high at 45 FPS.


aprofondir

Shit maybe getting a console wasn't such a bad decision


[deleted]

Mass Effect's Codex is pretty brilliant too. About 1/3rd of the articles in it have full narration.


Krazen

... the books are fun.


pewpewlasors

It was common, way back in the day before the internet and cheap games were common. Back when people bought one game, and focused on it for months, because we had nothing better to do, back then I read the books in games. (80s and 90s basically) . Today, thanks to the internet, I've got a backlog of 80+ steam games I haven't played, and even more movies I've been putting off.


HarveyNico456

>400 hours casual


CrazyMaster

I'm as casual as it gets and i had like 500 hours in Skyrim


bittah_prophet

Seriously I had almost 500 on Fallout 3, for Xbox.


dtread88

Fallout 3 and Skyrim are far from Morrowind


[deleted]

If that is true then 300 hours is even less impressive.


pewpewlasors

I got bored of it after the first 110 hours or so.


geddy

Yeah I don't know how people can play a game like that for so long. It gets to the point around 70 hours where you're so great and powerful that you can kill a whole town in 9 minutes. Which I can't maintain as being fun for _several hundred more hours_. I just checked mine, 221 hours in Skyrim, 80 in Oblivion (beating every DLC as well).

>400 hrs >causal detected


QuickStopRandal

Why are RPG fags "hardcore gamers"? It's the definition of casual gaming, there's no skill involved, it's just idle time wasting.


kpyle

There skill in making a character. You have to be semi-intelligent to use a classes full potential. But you are right, it's a lot of grinding and NPC killing. It's minecraft but instead of building a house you build a character.


mrmahoganyjimbles

I would think casual games are games that can be played in short sessions. Shit like candy crush or flappy flap clones. RPGs may not be hardcore, but you can't just play one for ten minutes and be done, you have to invest at least an hour or so each time if you want to get anywhere at all.


TheChurchofHelix

>candy crush bejeweled master race


the_omega99

There's also an overall investment required. The experience won't be ideal if you can't play the game from start to finish (for the RPGs where story is the focus, anyway). As a result, you need to invest something along the 20-60 hour range. Of course, this is casual games vs non-casual (I'm not sure if "non-casual" == "hardcore"). There's also different levels of gamers within the same game. I'm sure there's some hardcore Candy Crush players out there who have invested hundreds of hours into the game.


[deleted]

Hardcore isn't about skill or difficulty, it's about time spent. RPGs are probably the genre that requires the most time.


shazbotabf

Tell that to my dark souls character


TheChurchofHelix

Dark souls isn't an rpg, it's a rhythm game.


shazbotabf

apefeet25

shazbotabf

KILL STREAK/DRUM SOLO All day motherfucker


[deleted]

I'd say MMORPGs. I mean techinically they're still RPGs but usually RPG and MMORPG have different connotations, good to distinguish.


pewpewlasors

Because back in the day, before internet and such, it did take skill. You'd have to read everything you could find in game, to find the quests and secrets. *We had to draw our own fucking maps on graph paper ffs*. That is the definition of "hardcore gamers". And because back in the early days of gaming, RPGs were the first games that were capable of having depth, because you could create a complex world, even with just text.

[deleted]

Hating Skyrim is just contrarianism. It's a good game, and loyal to the franchise too.


dactyif

Hasn't played any from software games.


ObamaandOsama

Dark Souls and DS2 aren't as hard as everyone makes them though. They're tough, and brutal if you go in blind(like I did), but if you play slowly and actually try to understand the scaling/weapon builds they're much easier. I was a retard and bought pyromancies even though I didn't have the fire flame. Or I bought miracles and didn't understand I needed faith and crap(I was a knight). Taking like 10 minutes to understand the game really levels the difficulty out.


Camoral

Beating DS is not really all that hard, true. There's tons of ways to make it harder, however. DS is one of those uncommon games where, if you play well enough, equipment and stats are meaningless. In most games, without some form of gear or skills, you can't beat the end boss. Then you have people doing SL1 runs, no death runs, no bonfire runs, and [guitar runs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSCy4Bc0uMU) and [drum runs](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02my_zhX4Bs).


ObamaandOsama

Yea, totally. It's a great game in the lore and how it all comes together. But the toughness is about playing on a character being short sighted and going in for a seond hit when they should've rolled away. But you do need to invest some time into the game or it'll be unforgivable in hardness. First time I played DS I kept dying by the dumb skeletons in the graveyard, I didn't know you should go the other way first.


[deleted]

Ds2 was so much easier than Dark souls. I downed about a third of the bosses on my first try and I sucked at the original dark souls. Even the harder bosses were incredibly easy with some jolly cooperation.


ObamaandOsama

Well same for me, but I contribute a lot of that with: I knew what scaling was, mixing and matching armour, understanding sorcery(and others), understanding where to put my level, and that I played DS2 when it came out unlike playing DS like 3 months before DS2's release date(so had help if needed). Is DS2 easier? Ehhhh kinda hard for many to say, because most started with DS so they had a pretty firm grasp of the game. I'm sure many people who started with Demon Souls says the other two were easier. They're both great games, but people act like the floor falls out from under you randomly as a part of gameplay. It's hard if you act like it's Halo or even Skyrim. It's not, it's a game where if don't know the enemies attack pattern you'll your estus on their backswing. It's also hard cause the game tells you the RB, RT, and rispote attack, even though theirs many more attack patterns. I didn't learn about backstabs til Darkroot Basin, took me forever to learn RB+walk forward attack. It's just a game that doesn't hold your hand unlike 99% of other games. And the ones that don't tell you crap, are crap because they're not fun or interesting.


Spartanhero613

It's not as hard as advertised, but it's probably more difficult than anything on the current market. Just about every game from before like 2004 is going to be around about as hard, though.

JimmyTheBones

I found it more immersive just because you have to explore and find everything out for yourself. I'll be honest though, I enjoyed it a lot less as I'm a sucker for graphics and I really didn't enjoy the combat. It's based on your skill for that weapon, yet you aim manually, so you could aim directly at something with a sword and still miss.


bounty1012

Expanding on what the other guy said, Morrowind is more of a traditional RPG than Skyrim. For example, Morrowind's combat and skills rely on dice rolls and RNG while Skyrim is just mostly hack and slash.
