I got it for free with a less than honesty abuse of EVGA, and I have really enjoyed it so far. Very intense, although it really does seem like a niche game.
Spluff:
Far Cry 2 did an excellent job with lighting/water (made it look amazing during the day - at night, the crappy modelling and textures came out to play). Crysis did well (it did well with everything).
Not too many games with mirrors, though - the reflected lighting from the mirrors would absolutely eat up your graphics card.
JD:
Does Portal count?
Be My Head:
Morrowind is still the most addictive RPG I've played....so...
I think Bethesda should focus more on putting the same drug on CD again.
est:
Same here. I found Morrowind superior to Oblivion in many subtle and not so subtle ways. The introduction of Havok physics in Oblivion was very welcome, as well as the new setting with new things to do. The improved graphics were a mixed bag. I appreciated some improvements, but others not so much. Magic, enchanting and alchemy were all hobbled. One could argue that certain things needed to be done in order to unbreak the game, (ie: the bug where certain potions improved your alchemy, then you made another better one and and quaffed, another better on and quaffed, etc until you could crank up your intelligence i think it was to superhuman levels in shorts bursts almost constantly) but there's got to be more intelligent ways to counteract that, such as the Witcher's poison/inebriation level (without effect-clearing potions that people use to rort the Witcher's system) or just simply limiting the the number of potions that can be consumed in a certain time-frame some other fashion.
I also didn't appreciate the dumbed-down skills sub-set they provided us with in Oblivion. They should have at least kept Axes on their own skillset, as having them paired up with blunt weapons didn't make much sense to me. Hopefully the next iteration will bring back some of the things people found superior in Morrowind & bitched about missing in Oblivion? I know that the TES forum community was/is very vocal, but I'm not sure how much effect that will have on Bethesda's choices.
