Silent Service II was a WWII sub simulator that let you play from either side. PC only I'm afraid. And it's really, really old

[Rotherot]

Thank you, man, that's the two things I like in a game. It's a war game that let's you play in any of the sides, and it's an old game.

[New Ecopia]

Ahh the memories of old games.

[Duckyian Empire]

I see.

I know... I wish I could play Nanosaur again. Pangea Software only has it on Mac OS 9 though...

[Aersoldorf]

There's an old game called Pacific War that is the most in depth and detailed WWII game I've ever seen. Not much on graphics, but it really gives one an idea of how much it takes to manage a war

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

I'll take a look at it. On the topic of old games I'm looking to get Oblivion for my Xbox soon... thoughts?

[Duckyian Empire]

Go for it!

Please note, I'm not much of a gamer.

[Aersoldorf]

I wasn't a fan of the level up system, to get to the highest levels you had to be extremely methodical in order not to waste opportunities to advance. Other than that I really enjoyed it though. It was the first of the series to be available on the PS3 so it was the first one I played much of. I did play Morrowind a bit on my nephew's Xbox back in the day when we babysat him while his parents were out of town at fishing tournaments.

[Duckyian Empire]

Interesting....

[Benevolent Thomas]

Aerso has PS3? I suddenly wish that I hadn't recently sold most of my games.

[Rotherot]

Man, I really don't care about graphics. In my opinion, these new games coming out are just that: plain good graphics and no gameplay.

That's the main gripe I've heard with most people. Skyrim's leveling system is a lot better. I kinda want to play Morrowind as well because I recently got the Dragonborn DLC and am quite enjoying the landscape of Solstheim. I don't know how much different Oblivion will be on 360 as opposed to PS3, I imagine it's mostly the difference in what bugs happen. Thanks for the opinion, I'll try my best not to totally mess it up.

[Rotherot]

Well, Morrowind is good, I have it in my computer, actually. I guess the only real problem is not being able to jump.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

Ah. That could possibly be a problem.

[Rotherot]

Well, if you compare the quests from each of the games, Morrowind is a lot better. The history and overall is better.

Edit: Also, just one thing really made me mad, and that's the battle system.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

I don't really know much about that game. I've heard the quests are pretty awesome, and the landscape is a helluva lot easier to travel than Skyrim, but I don't know much of the story.

[Rotherot]

Well, personally, I like Skyrim's landscape.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

I like the landscape better in Skyrim, Solstheim/Morrowind are just easier to travel.

[Rotherot]

Well, I never really got that DLC. Gotta find a random torrent around the net sometime.

[Witchcraft and Sorcery]

Dragonborn is pretty awesome. I have that and I just got Hearthfire about 3 days ago. Both are pretty cool add-ons.

[Rotherot]

Well, I personally hated Hearthfire.

[Duckyian Empire]

Chicken!

[Aersoldorf]

I like Hearthfire, you can build your own house. It's pretty nifty, and there are options so you can have some say in what it looks like

Are you insane?

[Rotherot]

Lol, Aerso, it's something in the lines of having to chop like a hundred trees to get enough material, then walk at 0.5 times your speed back to the house, then finding there is not enough wood, and repeat the process, and when you have enough wood, you have to pick like a hundred stones and so on. It's boring.

[Aersoldorf]

Ummm, you can purchase the wood from a lumber mill and they deliver it straight to your build site. You can also have your housecarl manage the affairs of your home and mine either clay or stone for you so that you don't have to. What I sometimes do when I need the material is wait until I need to go eat or go to the restroom and start mining. By the time I get back I'll have several hundred of whichever I'm digging for. You can also purchase a horse and move quickly even when you're overweight. If you don't have a horse, equipping your bow and drawing it back will increase your speed when you're overweight (doesn't work in sneak though)

[Rotherot]

Damn, Kotaku lied to me.

[Aersoldorf]

Finding the straw for stuff inside is a pain sometimes
