So Like... My Brief Review (A Dream Come True)

Post » Fri May 11, 2012 5:53 am

As seen on Giant Bomb


Skyrim is a game we have dreamed of for years and why we are intrigued by video games

A bold statement but taking into account of what gaming is Skyrim does it all
providing a game that could take a lifetime of playing making it above & beyond the best value a video game can be

Such could of been the case with Morrowind & Obilivion the 3rd & 4th games of the Elder Scrolls series

But do to poor design choices and bad porting to consoles those games where never really able to live up to the concept
of what Bethesda the development & publishing studio was trying to achieve but served as the building blocks
for Skyrim the 5th installment in the series

For that we thank them & to all the "beta testers" who played & may still play those games today


The Good + :)

No random heavy reuse of indoor areas buildings & dungeons making each area refreshing to explore

Third person view & controls is now a viable choice

Character level building system that is fun taking some aspects of previous Elder Scroll games
as well as from Fallout 3/NV & mixing in some of Squares Final Fantasy X & XIII into it via the skill tree sphere system

Character Classes be a Warrior a Ninja a Mage a Vampire you know the usual

Cinematic Kill Scenes borrowed from Fallout 3/NV are a delight given you the heck yea moment

Easy quick inventory interface that feels sleek to navigate through

Simple quest navigation system that keeps you on track

Most important do what ever the heck you want when you want

The Bad - :(

Release launch date period glitches/bugs patches coming soon as to be expected

Level balance difficulty issues have been reported when it comes to enemies

Some areas can have lighting issues to dark to bright

Graphic issues via playing the game installed on the HDD

:ermm:

5 out of 5 stars and you only have a few paragraphs? Usually reviews back their theories up with quotations from ingame experiences which make their opinion seem less biased and more formal.
