hahaha! glad i clicked on this, this is exactly how ive felt about this game for all these years, remembering my stories just like that, and everywhere they went after. You got it exactly right, oblivion and skyrim are great games, without a doubt, but theyve become mainstream, and watered down if thats even possible for elder scrolls. Morrowind had a technical-ness that just made it unique. every little tiny thing you did was influenced by other little tiny factors, and resulting in tons of effects rippling outward making it a unique experience every time.

ive been an elderscrolls fan since i first picked up morrowind 10 years ago, oblivion, and skyrim did great jobs holding me over and being a rich and fun experience, but it was morrowind that all my stories and memories really took place in, and is the only one that felt like a life lived, only morrowind coulda started it all like it did :)

ha! nah you dont gotta burn, just my copy of the game. i mean shit the game it self seemed amazing, but the performance made it unplayable considering its a shooter and well if i die, my characters done for good. meh maybe ill pull it outa hell one day if i ever get a super godly computer, or they patch it so the performance actually reflects its system requirments. i might look into stalker one day when im not so burnt out from this ^_^;

ok so that was a horrible mistake. got state of decay, played it, instantly quit, spent the entire day trying to find out why my computer with more than twice the recommended specs was playing at 10fps if i was fucking lucky, found out that this problem seems borderline universal despite anyone's system because of its horrible optimization and terrible port quality. became extremely pissed after pissing an entire day away trying every single thing anyone could suggest, burned that mother fucker in hell where it belongs.

sooo... fuck it, i guess what im gathering is that im just ditching the whole desire to play any of these games, im tired of fighting with it.

Thanks for all the tips guys, shame it didnt go anywhere but a bad mood, but hey we tried.

i swear, the more i hear, the more im pleased and excited about my decision with state of decay. blank slate, just being dropped in the middle of the apocalypse with one word in my head "Survive" and a world im free to figure out how to do that any way i see fit. basically a true to the word zombie apocalypse sim. bingo :)

oh yeah, btw for anyone else interested, the game is currently on sale today and going for 4.99, the sales only for one day, so anyone else who wants in, jump on it! talk about perfect timing eh? haha

@themangalist: sounds intense but perfect. something that really makes my asshole clench when shit gets rough, yes, that is what a zombie game should make you feel, im downloading it now, sold! :P

i just looked into state of ddecay and it looks like exactly what im looking for with DayZ being my patient runner up to wait and watch as it developes before jumping into the fray my self. i think with that being said, ive made up my mind :D

ah so its kinda like dead island, except good.. i mean, actually open ended survival and not deceivingly linear?

if thats the case, considering im riding on crappy internet right now anyways, that just might be the place for me to start. ill definitely look into it :)

see thats been one of my major holdbacks on DayZ, is that for all the years ive heard about it, in mod form, now working on standalone, its been years, and its still not stable. its just a bit troubling, other than that it seems like a valid choice. vanishing accounts sound like a game breaker, ill be damned if ima pay for something ill just lose, ive had enough of that.

ive never heard of state of decay though, any decent points i should know about it? :)

ive found my self torn between investing in the early access of DayZ on steam, or paying for an account for DeadZ Reborn, which is already fully released.

I dont know much about the inner workings of either games since i dont know anyone whos played em, so anyone here who's played one or the other have any input to help me decide? :)
