Shouldn't have bought Skyrim again...
 

Shit just sucks your life away. How can a game be so perfect?

It's not. It sucks.

But if you like everyone having the same voice actor giving you boring generic fetch quests where you pick up boring loot along the way which is never better than the shit you craft yourself, then yeah, I suppose it is perfect.

i downloaded the game.. and it sucks almost as bad as the one i bough 2 versions prior.. i mean it's okay but.. it's so slow paced and boring.. i want a real game.. borderlands 2 or somthing.. humor, action, and some bit of story.. skyrim it just ugh.. okay let's jumpy on the bandwagon lol


i mean if u like it well then cool, but i preff something appealing.. i only played an hour and it was pretty dreadful idk man

I used to like RPG's... Fable, Guild Wars etc. but I avoid games other than the occasional game of Fifa now for exactly the reason you posted. They're just a time suck. I don't even own a console any more.

i rarely play video games any more. Its all about making beats and rap

Maaan, I seem like I'm complaining about EVERYTHING on here.

I hated Skyrim tbh. I'll start with what I liked about it...

The living breathing world is AMAZING. The fact that if you don't marry some dude, he dies forever because the town he lives in is too cold. Crazy. Killing pretty much any character. Depending on where you do it, they stay dead. INSANE amounts of gameplay. All of that stuff is awesome.

That's about it though. I found the gameplay to be extremely repetitive. Mission sends you to a cave miles away. Once you get there, you either use decent magic, pretty bad archery or terrible boring melee. I have NO concept of how the game still requires you to load into each building. This was something GTA 4 managed to completely eradicate, and this was a game made a good few years prior. The storyline to me was relatively boring. Some of the side missions were interesting, but the main arch sucked. I killed a dragon like an hour into the game, so that whole amazing "Shit, dragons" feeling was gone instantly.

None the less, I've had very few games to play recently and I was considering getting it for the crazy good amounts of gameplay.



If GTA could adopt the Skyrim "the world is alive" aspect, it'd be the greatest game that could ever be made.

Very hipster of you, @Just C and @V3numb.

Bethesda studios has a simplistic approach to game-making, I don't mind the sparse work in the voice acting. Character building was still a huge project within the game and the map was unmatched vastly in detail and size by any game prior to it. Sorry but the stat/skill build system is nigh-on perfect for building a spec character and there's more quests, random happenings and intermittent bursts of chaos to keep it interesting throughout.

If anything, GTAV is overrated. THAT shit got boring fast.

With all due respect, you have no place in this thread then.

I suppose they compliment each others flaws. GTAV gameplay barely changed from its predecessor. Skyrim really encapsulated everything it was aiming for, now there's Elder Scrolls: Online which is apparently flawless.

I have to disagree with you with the repetitive gameplay. There's cave missions, which are a forefront of the game, but there's a huge variety of enemies, traps and puzzles within that alone. Then there's cult missions, equipment/item-finding missions, assassin missions (Dark Brotherhood), thief missions, magic missions... These take place either in various different towns, different buildings, sewers, mountains. Not to mention joining the Stormcloak rebellion or the Imperials and fighting battles in that respect. To be honest, I also think people get too stuck in the "Paladin" character pattern which is just magic/fighting.

Arcane-assassin ftw.

A game with absolutely none of the budget, in a similar setting, that will blow Skyrim out of the water will be Telltale Games' Game Of Thrones.

lol well i've played skyrim before...the game is alright but i'm more of a GTA type of person.

naw man im not on the hipster thing, lol i just have my own tase, i loveeee me a RPG tbh but i cant sink myself into it for some reason.. eerything just seems so gray and bland imo (that might be because the BGM.. im used to high pitch themed songs in the BG during my boss fights while im busting ultimates or summons lmaooo)
