Poll of the Day > So, do I play Morrowind or Blinx first?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I still have the disks to both games. And both are now backwards compatible on Xbox One.

I would choose Blinx first, since it kicked my ass back when I was a kid, but Morrowind would make me sink hundreds of hours into...

Goddamnit.

Also, I regret picking up SSX 3 for the PS2 instead of the Xbox nearly 15 years ago.

I think you should try to get a job first.

I'd go for Blinx, it's much less of a time sink. You could finish it pretty quickly before delving into Morrowind.

Is that supposed to be a pun?

The camera in Blinx! It's backwards! And no way to change it.

I hate that the camera controls are reversed with no way to uninvert it.

blinx of course, but you got use all 8 gigs of hard drive space to save all your replays. i don't have 8 gigs. those xbox games are way too big.

All I know is that the OG Xbox Hard Drive had 50,000+ blocks. I never ran out.

But I think that may have been a misreading, as the loading screen in Dr. Muto stated that it was around 45,000 blocks left.

I never came close to running out of space.

I would say Blinx first. I remember that game being a little harder, but I was young back then...

What not play morrowind on pc since you probably can. It is a better experience

Well, Blinx becomes much easier if you grind for gold. To get better sweepers. To grind for more gold. To get better sweepers. To grind for more gold. To get better sweepers...

Anyway, passed the one level I was not able to 16 years ago, on my first attempt. But this means nothing, seeing how I heard the rest of the game turns into a brutal shitshow.

What the hell is Blinx? also Morrowind should only be played on PC just for quality of life mods.

What the hell is Blinx?

Microsoft's (actually Artoon's) failed attempt at an Xbox mascot (when they didn't want Master Chief to be the face of it in order to appeal to all ages instead of just adults). It's about a janitor cat who works at a time factory, who manipulates time to destroy enemies to prevent the total destruction of a planet, because some bandit pigs stole time crystals, kidnapped the princess, and caused time monsters to roam free. You manipulate time in puzzles, in a more robust way than Prince of Persia did. It had one sequel, but didn't sell well, all because it released one week after Halo 2 debuted.

And the game becomes brutally difficult starting with the 4th chapter, and gets even harder from there.

Both suck

Anyway, this was the first of four of Microsot's attempts to gain a mascot for the platform. The other 3 were Voodoo Vince (which had an HD rerelease on the Xbox One and PC last year), Psychonauts (before MS dropped it and Majesco published it in their brief, failed attempt to become a AAA game publisher), and Tork (which eventually released in 2005 after MS dropped publishing it, Ubisoft picking it up, and releasing to absolutely no fanfare, and faded into obscurity).

I should start Morrowind, as that is somehow tied to unlocking SSX3, for some dumb reason. SSX3 has a massive glitch where the download asks for a disk, unless if you also have Morrowind installed as well.

I don't get it either.
