Well, unfortunately, or fortunately depending how you perceive it, this is a "forum", and serves exactly the purpose of a being a forum of public opinion.

At no point have I made the suggestion I was a better person, infact I openly informed you that I was trolling.

I don't care either way for the complaining threads, really, I don't have to read them. I don't have to come here at all, but am interested by what some people are saying. What you fail to understand is there /are/ fundamental issues with this game, quite substantial bugs for an AAA title like this. Unfortunately we live in an age where it's easier to come on to forums, register, and post your complaint than to compile them all into one thread. I have no qualms with it, we've all been in the position where we've waited for a title, spend hours trying to get it running semi-decently, and still struggle with potential game-ending bugs. I can understand their anger. Similarly, those of us who've loved Elder Scrolls (hell, I loved the last one, Minecraft, it was great ) games who've been playing Skyrim for some hours like to come here and share the things that have made us smile.

It's a forum, a meeting place if you will. People will share opinions whether you like them or not, trying to control them or tell them what they should and shouldn't do is leaving yourself wide open to negative replies. You're telling strangers how they should behave, after all.

Im about 11 1/2 hours in now. And I think its amazing.

I don't understand why you people think I'm trying to place a lockdown on others opinions and turn this forum into Soviet Russia. All I'm doing is advising people to put more time into the game than the scripted introduction to get a better sense of the game. Then if you hate it? GREAT! Let me know! If you love it? Awesome! Come tell me! I don't recall ever saying that there were no substantial bugs in the game. I'm a little displeased with clipping issues running rampant, in addition to the lackluster graphics and third person finishers - but my main qualms come from people saying they LOVE or HATE the game based on the very first time they swing an axe.

Honestly, I don't think it's that big of a deal to request that people put more than an hour into the game before coming on a forum and ranting about it.

edit:
and coincidentally or not, those "just played 20 minute love/hate it" threads have dropped off substantially since I made this topic.

Simply don't read the threads. If you realize how trivial they are, then your own enjoyment of Skyrim should not be hindered.

"well aren't we just the king of forums?" If anything you're the one trying to stop people displayingf their opinions on a public forum. and i personally don't think you bring up a good point. just like you personally dont think people should judge the game affter a few hours of play. Quit whining and get on with it

I absolutely hated Morrowind my first go around. (3-4 hours) After a couple months I tried it again but stuck to it, and it's one of my favourite games of all time now.

Not disagreeing, just saying if I hadn't I wouldn't be here, or playing all these awesome open world games Bethesda is involved with.

Lots of you keep telling me "Well, just don't read the threads." Well, have you considered the thought that I like reading other peoples opinions of the game? The fact is simply that I want a well-rounded opinion where the person has done a quest or two, and not just run through the opening sequence of events.

I could, in all honesty, say the same thing to you. If you don't like my thread, then stop reading and replying to it.

I've dropped sixteen hours so far, and I am in love with it.

umad?

Despite common belief, these forums aren't shaped to suit your needs.

Hm, that's funny. They aren't suited to meet yours either. It doesn't mean that we can't toss around suggestions and try to improve the place, does it?

And Encee, you clearly have failed to read the original post. How surprising.

Considering the wording of your original post, this thread resembles an authoritarian demand, as opposed to a "suggestion".

Only in your mind...

I don't understand what is so hard to grasp here.

Play the game past the opening, scripted, linear sequence.

Decide if you like it or not.

Then come tell us.




It's really pretty [censored] simple.

I don't understand why they can't understand either, OP. It's simple as hell.

Skyrim General Discussion

Discussion

(insert topic) to make something to talk about, this thread got nothing to talk about except the old" shut up and be happy"

why is there a forum in the first place? can it only be happy stuff when there is allot of stuff you can complain about like "false advertisment they made with more interactive melee combat" that not really changed to much except random 1-hit kills got animations?
think over it , read other game forums and notice how game forum works

I don't see any haters on the entire first page. They don't have a lot to go on.

I think the OP should take a chill pill.

Be hate appreciate.

I like seeing people opinions. The initial 'omg' this game is awesome. I usually can tell if I'm gonna like a game within the first hour. If I'm not getting into it I'll put it down and maybe pick it up later. I don't agree with about people saying they love it within the first hour but people who complain and neve actually sat and played makes me a little upset but regardless of what I think people get an opinion and you can't stop that by complaining about people judging a game to quickly.

Most people know if they like the feel of the game right from the start, as for the story it would probably be in your best interest to play it first but like I said combat, graphics, gameplay and the feel of the game can be judged pretty quick.

While you're at it OP tell people to stop committing crimes like murder and [censored] because I'm sure they will listen to anything you say.

not that i think the OP should have made this thread, but, "they don't serve any purpose" i have to point this out: nothing serves a purpose save basic survivle instincts, which only serve to save something that has no reason to have been brought into creation (in no religion does it say that humanity had any real reason other than the whim of a god [even mine, god had no reason to make us, and we even went so far as to betray him, leaving us without much of a reason to exist], and athiests believe everything is a random occurrence, i think)

that "no purpose" thing gets old, no offence
