they really underrate it.

especially rpgfan is really unfair with its review. Not revolutionary? What did they expect? 3-D glasses gimmick support?

They do have some positive points, but it seems all reviewers as of late don't really know what they have in their hands. :)

hardcoe RPG sites are always going to hate on TES. Just the way it is, nothing to see here.

Didn't read the text (don't want spoilers) but.... they give it 4.5/5, and all of the individual ratings except Battle System are either 4/5 or 5/5. That's "underrated"?

The reviews seemed pretty positive to me, and besides it's their opinion, why should you care?

Can't wait for this weekend to be over. The hyperbole is so thick I'm putting on boots to wade through this forum.

I like how rpgfan.com gave it 88%, said in at least two places it's a "significant improvement over Oblivion" and "The best Elder Scrolls yet" and they gave Oblivion a 90% and the breakdowns were higher for Oblivion in each category except gameplay.. inconsistent much?

You have to take a blend of all reviews together. For example- read the long list of what Skyrim doesn't have in PRGfan because that is the reviewers focus. Then go read what PC Gamer goes on about what Skyrim does have because they feel it has some things other RPGs don't. You get a better overall picture of the game.

sheesh - the one review goes ahead and spoils the whole intro to the game in the first paragraph.


They're a true RPG site?
