Witcher 3 Director: "Skyrim was generic"

Dude is 100% right. Can't wait for witcher 3.

Based on the things you've been putting up about their "hyping" of Witcher 3 (which does look good), why can't they just talk about themselves instead of trying to say "well our game is gonna be great because Skyrim sucked." Which is a matter of opinion anyway.

Either way I've only ever really heard good things about witcher so I may try out the second one some day before the latest one hits shelves.

The director of the game said some very fair things about Skyrim, and said that while it was generic, it did help him understand how to make an open world. I didn't really get the vibe that he was doing it for marketing reasons.

My tip for Dark Souls is to not worry about grinding, don't ever put stats into Resistance, and play the game yourself. There's no wrong way to beat it. If you try going one way and you're dying a lot, try another. Using guides only makes it less interesting.

Does Dark Souls get better? I bought it recently and got past the Asylum Demon and onto the first area. I seem to be just monotonously fighting skeletons, dying, and repeating the pattern of "wait until they're vulnerable, do an attack, back off and block, wait". It's not really drawing me into the game, fighting boring skeletons, and since Dark Souls has no story to carry it apparently I'm wondering if it's even worth playing. Is the entire game just repeating a pattern for chunks of time until an enemy is dead or you're dead? 'Cause I'm already bored of that with these skeletons.
