Yo también farmeaba esa misma zona con mi hermano, y aun con todo sigue siendo de lo mejor que he jugado.

Cada duelo contra Skyrim es la misma historia y ya ni me sorprende el resultado, aunque igual sigo votando.

Fired it up again last month and the click fest still works, but the pacing between acts drags way more than I remembered.

el pacing pesa, sí, pero volver a clickear cabezas de zombis sigue dando gustito, no sé qué decirte.

How does this still beat Witcher 3 in duels more often than not, are voters just nostalgic?

My roommate and I used to trade off on the same account, one running the game while the other planned the next build on paper, it was basically a shared hobby rather than a single player thing, but stacked against Skyrim or Witcher 3 the multiplayer side always felt bare bones by comparison.

Yo también jugaba así, en grupo, y creo que esa parte social era mejor que el juego en sí mismo, quizás me equivoco.

Replying to Manzano69
Lo social ayudaba, o mejor dicho lo sostenía. ¿De verdad crees que sin grupo hubiera aguantado tanto?

¿Alguien más lo compara siempre con Skyrim y siente que no es justo para ninguno de los dos? Porque a mí este me atrapó de otra manera, más directa, más sucia, y esa comparación siempre se queda corta para los dos.

Same setup here, one hand on the keyboard while three cousins argued over which potion to grab next.
