Lol, i forgot about most of these. The Skyrim and Oblivion ones really show just how fantastic Bethesda can be.

gaffyh4892d ago

In Oblivion, I really liked the side quest where you go into the painting. That was an insane quest, and it completely changed how the game looked. They could have made an entire game like that

TopDudeMan4892d ago

Yeah, that and every single dark brotherhood quest were awesome.

StraightPath4892d ago

Bethesda is also responsible for making some boring mundane and repititive quests. If only there quest were all interesting but unforutunately not.

ZombieNinjaPanda4892d ago

Only problem is 1 out of 10 side quests being good doesn't cut it. The rest are run here do this, kill this and done quests.

Hell even the bigger side quests were bad. The College for example was a pretty bad one. I'm not gonna spoil it, but for those who played it, they know what I'm talking about.

StraightPath4892d ago

i thought the end of thieves guild was bad..you have to do boring tasks to get the guild back to its former glory...so far all guilds have been average. only one left is dark botherhood hope that doesnt dissapoint like all others.

heroicjanitor4892d ago

Bethesda are awesome but Blitzball should really be in here imo :( My personal favourite.

Someone sexed up Jack. I just don't get it.

bacano4891d ago

Agreed, Jack was the only character I left to die in the end. Anyway, Subject zero is probably the best mision in ME2. I was high when played it and I really loved videogames that day. The ambientation, the dialogs, the sounds... the decision you must take. Everything is great in that quest. I played the rest of the game on weed, but honestly I found it boring and with bad graphics. The ending was crappy. Jack side quest still is the part I remember best.

my fav was the side quest in Fallout 3 with the family in the fallout shelter. with that cool fatman.
is this list exclusive to mass effect cause to be honest i didnt look at the list. lol
ok chill brah. lol

jimmins4892d ago

Does the title of this list suggest it's all bout Mass Effect? perhaps if you click the link and just scroll through it you might be in a position to comment?

SOD_Delta4892d ago

Oblivions Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood missions were great.

I also like Yakuzas side-missions. Some of them are just plain funny.

To put it simply... two steps forward, one step back.

Abriael8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

That's not how that works.

Gaming revenue is already a balance of Content and Services +/- Hardware. So it's simply one step forward. Microsoft's gaming business is growing, and has been growing pretty much forever.

darthv728h ago

...two steps forward and one step back still amounts to one step forward, does it not?

Abriael8h ago(Edited 8h ago)

@darthv72: But in this case, it's more one step forward that would be pretty large, but is held back by some weight, so it's instead a bit smaller, but it's still a sizable step forward, since hardware weighs a lot less than content and services. Your comparison would work if C&S and Hardware were equivalent.

Christopher4h ago

Really depends on your goal. I was told by Microsoft that they were still pushing hardware, so I don't know what to believe.

TheColbertinator8h ago

Another win for Microsoft. The haters can use the dog door to leave.

Hardware revenue will probably sit somewhere between 800M - 1B for the quarter.

And content & services make up around 75 - 80% of total gaming revenue. Total gaming revenue is up 5%.

While positive numbers are positive, I don't find +5% year-on-year in total revenue a great, not even a good result considering what they've been throwing into the pot since their last Q3.

I don't think they are happy with only a +5% payoff since and compared to last year's Q3, which was abysmal, despite these numbers are indicating "Positive!" at 1st glance.

Especially since in terms of revenue, hardware doesn't contribute a lot to overall revenue anymore ("only" -6% down, because there's no hardware really being sold anymore).

Well what do you know. When you release good games, good consecutive 1st party you output you actually make money.

Minus hardware of course.

I'll give credit where it's due. MS is starting to capture that old 360 energy when it comes to games and releases. It took them 14 years of having a clue but they seem to be doing it now. All will be lost if they step on rakes like they're known to do. Who knows how long it'll last.
