I think maybe I just have too much self-respect to buy yearly revisions.
I mean.. the COD franchise... you can use that as an example of how it works. Basically, people are paying full game price for what really amounts to an expansion pack. I'm not saying all developers do that, but when the only new thing in your next year's game is modes, maps and weapons... that should be a big red flag. Oddly, people don't really care and buy it anyway. Not that they shouldn't, but I mean.. they're solidifying the trend with their money. It just tells developers that all they have to do is add some stuff next year and come out banking. Meanwhile, innovation is disregarded because it would cost money that, to the developers, doesn't need to be spent when people are going to buy the next game anyway. Personally, I'm completely content to wait several years for an actual significant step up from my previous version. That's really the only way I can justify paying the price of the game. Maybe it's just me, though.

The main reason I won't buy CoD is because of Activision. I lost interest in the games before I truly realised just how rotten to the core that cancer amongst the gaming industry was, but I eventually decided that if I was going to do my part to stop the industry collapsing into the monopoly that they're pushing to achieve, I'd have to stop giving them my money. Which really makes me hope that they never swallow up Bethesda or Bioware.

No worries though, knowing Activision they'll run it into the ground just like every series they've bled to death (Guitar Hero, Tony Hawk). And yes, Activision is as evil as a gaming company is capable of being. |

So I finally got a computer capable of running Skyrim on pretty damn high settings. And it was on sale today. Guess what I did?
The whole game is beautiful. Nearly everything's been improved, the world itself is absolutely stunning (I've barely explored an inch of it yet) and Dragon Shouts are the coolest thing ever. When I get back to school the first thing I'm doing is testing to see if I can knock people off the balconies with a well placed FUS RO DAH.

If you want some recommendations, let me know. If you're wondering why you need them, let me know. Even now, prior to the creation kit release, there are some AWESOME mods that won't cost you a penny and will heighten your Skyrim experience.
