The problem is the style, not just the difficulty. I don't like the whole timed parry system. It's alright if it's akin to Witcher 3 where the blocks are timed but not impossibly so, and where you're given other means of fighting than parry-strike-repeat... Even then though, as much as I love that game, I like TES combat. Its simplicity makes it grounded and its feel is still somewhat rooted in the dungeon crawlers that made TES what it is.
I'll never understand the hate, it feels to me like the hate comes from outsiders who weren't long-term fans and what the series to be what it's not.
EverQuest Next. That game would have been the best MMO ever, if they would've stuck with it. Unfortunately, SOE got bought out and the new owners were whackos who didn't care. It's sad because nothing has come close since then. Only GW2 and ESO have even a fraction of the concepts of EQN.
TES combat may be plain but I'd take a grounded and easy to grasp combat system over hair-tearing frustration. There's a reason I don't buy soulslikes. I like to enjoy and unwind with video games, not torture myself until I 'git gud'. Soulslike combat will utterly ruin this remake for me.
Hardly comparable. The bag wasn't the centerpiece, it was barely even advertised in the first place... and people whined because an ancillary feature of a much larger package wasn't the material they wanted. That seems awfully pathetic and vain to me.
That whole canvas bag thing was a load of crap. "Ouh, my bag wasn't in the material I wanted it to be in. I'm gonna throw a tantrum and sue the company."
I'm very excited for this project, but what concerns me are the lack of color in those screenshots and the rumor that it's gonna have soulslike combat. I do not want soulslike combat. We don't need soulslike combat in every freaking game.
