Why are they still calling this Copernicus? Can't see any reason why this shouldn't be known as Kingdoms of Amalur Online or whatever.

Sidebar. This is the first time I've seen the internet live up to what it can be be. I'm a little moved to be honest.

Thanks to Cloneslayer and Sinkjaer! You guys are saints!

Hey guys.

Really want to play Diablo III, but I'm not convinced it's something I'll be playing for long. For that reason, I was thrilled when I saw Blizzard was offering a trial period for the game. Not so thrilled when I saw that it could only be obtianed from someone who bought a box copy of Diablo III.

Basically my question is this; Anybody want to share their Starter Edition Key with me? PM me if you will. Thanks in advance :)

Eddy Gordo made a Kickstarter. Cool.

Incredible round. I'm a Manchester United supporter, but still I can't stay angry. What happened at the Ethiad Stadium today counts among the greatest moments in sport for me. Crazy end to a crazy season. Seems fitting I guess.

Congrats to all City Supporters on GiantBomb. Better savor it, cause next year the trophy will be back at Old Trafford!

@ATTILAtheFUN: Yep, saw that. Thanks, dude!

Don't thank me, I didn't do anything. No really, I did nothing. Just wanted you to know that.

TESCO. Pretty easy to understand.

@sthusby: I don't think it hinders the gameplay at all.. sure, the combat doesn't look as fancy as it might otherwise.. but you'd really lose the sense of scale and "being the character" if it wasn't first person. It's not supposed to be an action game, it's supposed to be immersive and the first person view works perfectly for that. If they get rid of it for this, it just cements the fact they're trying to make a generic MMO and not an Elder Scrolls game.

Time will tell though.

Who cares if it doesn't look fancy, the problem is that fighting is no fun at all. The only reedeming thing about combat in Skyrim are decapitations. Fuck first person I say. When I play The Witcher, Gothic or Dragon Age, I don't lose any sense of "being the character". Even with Geralt of Rivia, I can still relate to that guy, even though he has a pre determined look and everything. First person needs to go, and I'm pretty sure it does.

Love how people are writing this off after all they've seen is the font of the title. People are dumb.

The reasons seem logical enough to me. The Elder Scrolls gameplay has always the exact opposite of what MMO's are, so it's not surprising people are resistant.

If it's first person, focused on exploring and still feels like the Elder Scrolls, I'm in.. but come on, it's going to be nothing more than a WoW clone. I'll care if/when that turns out not to be the case.

Well, people complain over Skyrim's combat being the weakest part of it. And why keep a first person view if it doesn't enhance the gameplay? I've been hoping for a mandatory third person view in ES since Daggerfall.

The first person view makes it much more immersive. Frankly, if it's third person, it's not the Elder Scrolls.

I disagree. What makes or brakes Elder Scrolls is exploration, freedom, creativity and longievety. One shouldn't hold on to something just because of a misplaced sense of legacy. If it hinders gameplay, why keep it? For me first person is the only thing I'd really change about ES. I'd love to be able to see my character at all times and fight in third person, without it looking like complete poop.
