  • You could say that almost for the entirety of Elder Scrolls series as a whole.

    Daggerfall was more of their ambitious projects though. I think the entire premise is “make a character, run with character until you’re bored and only engage in some of the story”. I mean, in Daggerfall, all you have to do is just get a letter to start the main quest, but you can ignore the main quest after that entirely.



  • Undertale - It took a lot of pages off from Earthbound and just basically served as an example of what happens when you are nothing but fan-service.

    Doom - There will be no arguments against the fact that Doom did set the FPS world on fire when it arrived. But, you can make an argument that overtime, there have been lots of very enjoyable FPS games that will give Doom a run for its money. I’m also a fan of Quake and I think Quake helped progress FPS in its own way. I really hate that Doom: The Dark Ages was pissed away when that could’ve been the Quake remake or continuation we’d all like to see. Instead, Quake died at Quake Champions, a very forgettable hero-shooter.









  • Yeah, I mean, your time is valuable and it isn’t going to make it more enjoyable if you’ve already made your mind up about something by trudging through it more. People talk about slow build and “wait until it reaches the good part!” but quite honestly, if a show takes an awful long time to get to whatever you believe is the good part or at least the meat of the story that makes it interesting, then it’s not a good show. It has bad pacing.

    I have a gauge of limit as to when I personally rate or judge something. An album has 5 songs to hook me, less if the album is lesser than the standard. A show, has 5 episodes to get me invested, less if it fails the first two episodes. Movies have maybe an honest 15 - 25 minutes not counting slow logo reveals, previews .etc A game has maybe less than 2 hours to get me to want to revisit it.

    So on and so forth. People will nag you about how you can’t judge things so early, but again, your time is more valuable.
