Review: The Elder Scrolls V: Dawnguard DLC [Press2Reset]

Join the ranks of the Vampire Lords... or destroy them, in Bethesda's first DLC pack for Skyrim. Chris played countless hours and got lost in Skyrim all over again to bring us this review. He's also having a hard time crouching now...

Looking forward to buying it on PS3 but i also heard their were glitches(not really surprised) but are they game breaking?

Elderly_Cynic4303d ago (Edited 4303d ago )

I encountered one bug (which I detailed in the review), but it was more annoying than anything else. I didn't run into any broken sidequests like I did in the original game. If you're a Skyrim fan (as it appears you are) I definitely recommend it.

WeskerChildReborned4303d ago

Oh alright, well i'm not like a die hard fan but their is no good release(that i know of) this month so i thought i would check it out since i have Skyrim right now.

Bobby Kotex4303d ago

I'm glad this came out on xbox first. Now that I know how mediocre it is, I'll skip it.

Elderly_Cynic4303d ago

I think you misunderstand the rating system. "Mediocre" would be in the 4.5 to 5.5 range. 7.5 is classified as "Great".

RufustheKing4303d ago

What overcast gray knitting world do you come from where 7.5 is great? (9.0 t0 9.9 is great) 7.5 is meh if i have nothing else to do. From what my friends have been saying this DLC isn't that great even without all the bugs/glitchs but tbf i could only judge it when i comes on ps3 and thats after all the problems are fixed.

Elderly_Cynic4303d ago

@Rufus:
What worls do I live in? This one... you know, the one where ratings scales go from 1 to 10, not 5 to 10. Ratings of 9 and 10 are reserved for extraordinary, absolutely must play titles.

This scale is pretty standard for the industry.

The awesomeness continues.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast17d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22917d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko17d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave17d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
