Can one of you explain to me what the specific different of Skyrim and GTA is to make Skyrim an RPG? In my mind, EVERY game is a Role Playing Game.

On the MMA site I post on, it's the epitome of hipsterism. Not a single guy on there plays a non indie console game, and the majority of them are guys who put over a grand into their PC and yet still claims it's superior to consoles.

basically anything that gives you choices like good/evil, option A,b,c or the optoins to apply points into skills or some shit


and Console<PC

It is, as it sounds. You have a specific character and you play a role examples would be; Runescape, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Fable, Zelda. Examples of non-role playing games would be; Fifa, Burnout, Tekken. I think the line is often muddied though, I see your point.

You can't praise GTA 4 for letting you walk into little buildings with absolutely fuck all going on inside them using no load screens for them over Skyrim needing load screens to load huge dungeons crammed with detail.

And nah not hipster shit. The game is generic as fuck. The only good thing about Skyrim is the world and the lore and even the lore is presented poorly outside books. You speak to 10 different guys and they all drone on in the same swatzernega accent the yarl of windhelm does. The writing is dry as fuck and the voice actors are dire.

I've probably put a few hundred hours into Skyrim including the DLC over the years. It's not a poor game but it has huge issues and is stupidly over rated.

Vitriol. Have you ever played Morrowind or Oblivion?

I get the feeling you haven't.

Just C, there is nothing happening in the Skyrim buildings either. Essentially, all that's going on is people walking around.

Let's take one dungeon I kind of remember into account.

A werewolf attacks you, some monster things spawn in a room, a trap in a door way is there and in the main room a boss comes from a coffin and you have to kill him. The dungeon is pretty huge, but nothing is actually happening. In douche gaming language, the werewolf is just an enemy spawning from a trigger. The monsters are just several enemies spawning from a trigger. The trap is just an animation coming from a trigger with a damage effect on it. Main boss is trigger / animation / spawn enemy. It's not complex.

Skyrim is dope..

Thats more than you'll find walking into a block of flats in GTA 4. GTA 4 was notoriously dull and lacking. If GTA 4 Enterable buildings needed loading screens everyone would be screeming scandal. There was absolutely nothing to them.

Skyrim for all it's faults the dungeons and buildings are meticulously crafted with decorations art work and lootable. Please stop man this is your dumbest argument yet lol.

If I put my side and you put your side to people who have played both games you'd be lucky to get 1% agreeing with you.

@ViTRiOL Elder Scrolls Online is absolute ass.
Skyrim was my least favorite of the elder scrolls. I found myself dedicating a lot more to Oblivion and Morrowind whereas skyrim I went through the story, did a few sides and then retired.

Skyrim and GTA arent all that but if you had to pick one thats better, Skyrim shits on GTA. & I fucked with GTA more than I fucked with Skyrim. Can't deny the detail put into a game thats so vast with so many items and quests and things to do. In Skyrim you can follow someone and see what they do throughout the whole day. Follow em to work, back home, etc etc. Thats crazy attention to detail right there


but like someone said earlier its just fetch quests and maybe a good 100 base items that are re-skinned ie; "Peasant Armor"..... "Knight Armor"... "Iron Sword"... "Steel Sword"...So there's a shitload of items but they're really just a handful of items copy+pasted, reskinned and renamed... & Once you beat the story its over

I ALWAYS buy games with multiplayer. I bought Skyrim and sold it..it was the only game I bought without multiplayer and its just horrible. I need replay value.

I can put 100 hours into a game I spent $60 on and say it was worth the money...but I don't like doin that shit so I'd rather spend $60 on a game I can play online for an hour or 2 a day

btw Dave I'll take a stab in the dark and guess that MMA site is sherdog
