Rayman Origins
Neverdead
Skyrim
Rage
Prey 2
El Shaddai
Probably something I've forgotten

No real specific questions on Skyrim other than "how was it?" and "is it worth my money?"

How's rayman origins? Is it an actual fucking platformer now? Cause I am about sick of those raving rabbits mini games.

In Neverdead, what's the button for "RIP OFF OWN HEAD!?"

Edit: Wait wait wait, real question now. I just watched some dude playing Dark Souls. Where was the magic bar? Is there no MP in this game?

Please tell me that Catherine was amazing enough to justify my preorder. (Note that I already know that it is, and I will only presume you are lying to me if you say otherwise.)

As for Skyrim, I wonder if you think it's the kind of RPG experience I'd enjoy. I've never played the Elder Scrolls series before. Past installments have not interested me. But Skyrim looks gorgeous.

Are there any big name titles for the regular DS and/or DSi?

Magic, at least with the class I chose, was a number of uses thing, rather than a mana thing. I fucking dig that cuz it's Dungeons and Dragons as hell.

Think he already answered that.

Catherine's great. It really sticks with the Law/Chaos thing with its morality choices, and you may be surprised by which answers fit with which alignments if you let yourself slide into Good/Bad mentality for alignments.

Skyrim is all about them building a really immersive, living world. Townspeople have jobs now, and you can work jobs as well. Each town has a local economy, and you can actually influence that economy, like by sabotaging the lumber mill.

Another cool element was the character picked a fight with a giant and some mammoths. Partway through the fight a dragon swooped down, carried the giant into the air, and dropped it to its death. Then the dragon started fighting the player.

From what I saw, they fixed the presentation, which was Oblivion's biggest failing. Leveling seems the same, but as you level you can pick cool perks from constellation trees. You can also select focuses at statues so that certain types of skills will level faster than others, but you can only have one focus at a time. Like, you can focus on warrior skills OR mage skills OR thief skills. That sort of thing.

If a really well developed world is something that would draw you into a game, it's worth checking out.

Rayman Origins is very fun and great visually. It is a platformer.

You've mentioned looks a few times now here, and I have to wonder if you apply any other basis to a game before you consider it, or it looking pretty is that important.

...Yes, because having read all other posts I've made about other videogames everywhere it's clear that I care only and exclusively for graphics.
What the hell's up with that comment anyway? It adds absolutely nothing to the discussion. It's just a potshot intended to...what exactly? Attack my credibility? Aggravate me? Make me feel stupid for daring to be impressed with Skyrim's graphics?

If it's a 'legitimate' question, there are far better ways to word it that don't insinuate a broad attack on my character or my judgment. Hell, ask me whether I'm just impressed with Skyrim's graphics or whether I'm equally intrigued by its gameplay mechanics or the Norse influence in its storyline or the dragon battles or some shit. Or for fuck's sake, take a look at my posting history or consider what I mentioned about other E3 games in this topic before shooting your mouth.
...And if it's just your attempt at 'subtle' trolling, try not to be so brazenly obvious at it.
