Does anyone have this for their PC yet? I've been hearing nothing but praise and very complimentary reviews.. Seems it's sort of an innovation as far as electronic RPGs go. My computer's a bit old for that sort of thing so I was planning on buying it for my Xbox when it comes out next Wednesday. Anyone else planning on doing the same?

I don't really like either of them too terribly much. In fact, there really hasn't been a FPS that I've thoroughly enjoyed in a long time. Someone recently recommended Serious Sam which I played and thought was a serious pile of shit.. I think maybe I'll give Jedi Knight II a try.
Halo was a lot of fun while it lasted. Especially in cooperative mode on some of the harder skills.

-Is anyone else sick to death of all this Squaresoft crap? Seriously, if I have to play one more game as another sinew-endowed dickslap I'm going to puke all over my carpet.
I play videogames to immerse myself in a fantasy world not to remind me of what a dork I am in real life.
It's the same reason I never enjoyed the Space Quest series.. Roger Wilco was such a douch face.

me too, i HATED serious sam! ive never seen such a STUPID game... it had all the worst stereotypical qualities of stupid action games..... and people ate it up for some reason
i have (and LOVE) Jedi Outcast... the gameplay itself is good... but its the fact that u get to use a lightsaber and the force that make it amazing! (for me anyway)
i mean.... A FUCKING LIGHTSABER! no other game can match that... if u like star wars ull like it for sure
if u want to be lost in a fantasy world... (and who doesn't!) then i highly recommend the Thief series of games..... (1 and 2)... they were both EXCELLENT, AND original!
they are probably some of the most original 'FPS' games made, imo
not the usual blow em up, find the key shit.. and the atmosphere in them is simply amazing...... play it at night alone and u will get SOOOOO into it... very, very well done
(yes, i realize this has nothing to do w/ Mrrowind, but i cant give up a chance to promote one of the best and most over looked games ever!)
system shock 2 is from the same developer and is also excellent, again, some of the most amazing atmosphere in any game

I agree, both the Thief games and System Shock 2 were wonderful.. I also liked Deus Ex. To me, the gameplay itself is the most important factor in determining if I enjoy it or not.
Graphics aren't really that important to me.
Videogames are like women... Except not really.

I'm sure Jedi Outcast will be great, thanks for the recommendation. All the previous games in the series were all tip-top and LucasArts has a pretty good track record, especially with the Star Wars games...well... not including Rebel Assault 1 & 2, Desktop Adventures, and a few of the newer ones I never playedf..
Dark Forces was actually the first computer game I ever bought. I remember staying up until 3 in the morning... and my dad walking out in his underwear yelling at me.
Wow, that really detracted from the nostalgia.

Deus Ex was badass...
I hear Morrowind is sweet...
Have you heard of this game Neverwinter Nights? Its D&D (thrid edition) only in 3d and you can have a real Dungeon Master who creates worlds and story plots for other players.

Yeah, I have heard of it. Unfortunately my computer can't handle anything post Half-Life so I'll have to check it out on a friend's some time.
Did anyone hear that interview with John Carmack of Id software and Trent Reznor?

I didnt hear that interwiew, but i heard that john carmack and reznor where friends, and carmack convinced him to do the soundtrack for doom III, wich i allready thought would rule before i heard that. i think that new engine will revolutionize a bit of things!!! =)

Thanks! Sounds like it's actually living up to all the hype. I'll make sure to pick it up next Wednesday at Electronics Botique.
Yes, I'm starting to think that Doom III will make a crater of equal or greater depth on the gaming community than the original did so many years ago... The engine is jawdropping from what I've seen so far, especially the advanced realtime lighting.
The Reznor/Carmack interview is available at the Wired homepage for download or streaming audio if you're interested in hearing it:

Morrowing blows me away.
Leave it at that, the most open ended, do it yourself RPG EVER. The graphics with a good card are mind blowing, the water, the cloud textures.
You can do whatever you want. Really, whatever the hell you want to do. It takes work, and you need to keep at it, but when you get rolling, it is pretty damn rewarding. Top 5 of this year.

I'm going to be running it on an Xbox so I'm sure there will be plenty of mind blowing graphics... I heard it's actually going to be quite a bit better for the Xbox. No user created mods as on PC but Bethesda is sure to release some of their own via console game magazine discs or internet once the broadband capibilites are utilized.

There's an exclusive interview there with an anonymous surfer that attended E3. He discusses his impression of Morrowind's performance on the Xbox.

But mind that the first couple of hours or so, youll just be walking around with your mouth open, because its so vast.
And the quests are pretty well done two.
If you like rpg´s theres no getting around morrowind. Class..... =)
