Thesixthaxis: It would be nice to be offered something a little more imaginative from an expansion which had the potential to make bigger changes to how we played the game. Perhaps Skyrim itself is so huge and offers such variation that it becomes difficult to offer anything new in an expansion.
While there are some enjoyable moments and some truly brilliant set pieces in Dawnguard, it doesn’t quite hit those beats with enough precision or regularity to warrant a glowing recommendation for those who are already well invested in Skyrim’s world and the character they’ve built themselves.
There are Starfield Skyrim Easter eggs in the game that brings back one of the most famous lines in gaming history.
GF365: "Oftentimes, video games have characters who are antagonistic and really not very pleasant. Here are some of the friendliest characters in games where you might not otherwise expect to find them."
Some games endure despite the average player wishing they could skip that first hour - here are five annoying video game openings in otherwise classic titles.
I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …
First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …
Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.
I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.
Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.
@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D
thought we were going to get something to rival Shivering Isles - this is more on a par with Knights of the Nine, only a little longer.
