Do you often make these types of jokes for dead people? Disgusting.

DankSinatra1336d ago

Humor is subjective, but most of it deals with dark subjects.

Fluttershy771336d ago

Is he dead already? I though he was dying.

generic-user-name1336d ago

I wasn't joking, he played the 360 version, his dream was to be 'in' Skyrim, Skyrim VR does that better than any other alternative. But go ahead and get your knickers in a twist because you jumped to conclusions like a fool.

ElementX1336d ago (Edited 1336d ago )

I don't think he should be in the game.

*Edit*
I think it could lead to copycat situations where people who are hurting and feel hopeless decide they want to be in a game.

I have suffered with depression since I was a teenager. I once went to a bridge and thought of jumping. I became an alcoholic and yesterday had 9 years of sobriety. Help is available, suicide isn't the answer

Fluttershy771336d ago

Was he suicidal too? I though he had one of those terrible diseases. I'm not saying alcohol isn't it, right?

ElementX1336d ago (Edited 1336d ago )

He killed himself, many people who do have depression. All we need is some lonely kid with mental health issues deciding they love WoW or some other game so much they want to die and be memorialized forever.

"On April 25, 2020, he proclaimed his love for Skyrim on his Facebook page, stating that he would “give up literally anything to just be in Skyrim.” Unbeknownst to his friends and family, that would be his last post, as he sadly took his own life shortly thereafter at just 24 years old."

Nacho_Z1336d ago

So what if they do it doesn't mean everybody who wishes it be will be put into a game. At the end of the day if it makes a few desperately unhappy people feel a bit better it's a good thing.

"At the end of the day if it makes a few desperately unhappy people feel a bit better it's a good thing. "

It's a good thing that the idea of being in a game makes suicidal people happy?

if people think there's a chance of getting into a game, it might be enough to push them over the edge and decide to go through with it. Mental health is serious, things that may seem insignificant to a healthy person might affect somebody with mental health issues differently. Your mind tells you things that aren't true... That you're hopeless, a failure, people don't like you... If someone is thinking about suicide then any minor issue or bogus bs reason their mind comes up with could make them do it.

anast1336d ago

I suppose you are the gate keeper to what makes life worth living...

Nacho_Z1336d ago

You can't put a halt to positive things like someone being put into a game in case it upsets somebody else, sorry but that's not a healthy viewpoint.

ElementX1336d ago (Edited 1336d ago )

You can't go rewarding people for taking their lives, either. Every circumstance is different. I am looking at it from both sides. Dying from disease is one thing, this isn't the same by any means. People with mental health issues don't always think rationally

Nacho_Z1336d ago

No it's not a good thing to incentivise people to kill themselves but that's not what happened here nor do I see any realistic danger of it happening in the future.

And thou shall become immortal .............selling phillica seeds and health potion to better men for ever and ever and ever!

silenthillstrangler1336d ago (Edited 1336d ago )

Yeah nah, what are bethesda going to do? Put everyone who likes the extremely over rated game into it when they die.?

RememberThe3571335d ago

That's where this is going. If you're a terminally ill child then yeah I think it's cool for devs to do something special for the kids. But at some point it stops being about giving kids a unique experience before they pass and it becomes about men's egos and wanting to live forever. I feel for his family and friends, I'm sure they're traumatized by this, but he made his choice. Let him rest.

silenthillstrangler1335d ago

Nah fuck em all, die like everyone else.

silenthillstrangler1335d ago (Edited 1335d ago )

Death will greet you too mate, will you bargain, scramble or except?

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast27d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22927d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko27d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave27d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

DustMan27d ago

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
