If you started a forum and gave each new member a million pounds and their own 21 year old female mistress, there would still be negativity. That's the internet for you, it's full of miserable folk who love to whinge no matter what they have

I don't know I might be too busy with those million pounds and my female mistress :biggrin: infact I might not ever log into the forums again.

[Mrs. Patton]

It makes me sad to think of people who come here to get opinions of the game and whether or not they should buy it. These boards are wayyy too negative for how good of a game this is.

The negativity is because of the dumbing down of the game even further. There are a great number of people who actually want a TES RPG that rivals Morrowind and Daggerfall. They want a complex RPG not one that is further dumbed down from Oblivion.

It shows that Bethesda is losing their core fan base, the ones that have promoted and supported TES. Bethesda needs to seriously look at what they did and realize that unless they make a an RPG that actually allows someone to Role Play and is complex than TES will die off sooner than later.

the game is not that good. some of us just arn't blind [censored]

I agree, I like the game but people give it way too much special treatment, it does wayyy too many things wrong and too few right. I'm not saying its a bad game but it suffers from poor design choices.

[Leticia Hernandez]

Yea. . .

:grad:

I see what you did there...

:thumbsup:

[Bryanna Vacchiano]

every game release results in forums being bombarded with complaints, whether the game is good or terrible. the complainers simply talk more. that being said, skyrim isn't without its faults.

[[Bounty][Ben]]

The only people that are saying the forum is "negetive" are the folks who think Skyrim is Upwards of perfect and any word against it is grounds for execution. little do they know they ARE the problem, running down anyone who has a complaint and calling them "moaners, whiners" even so much to saying anyone who complains isn't a fan. what doesn't click in their trolling heads is that How are such folks less of a fan when They care so much about the series to say "Hey this isn't right, why are you doing this" :teehee:

but of course everyone wants Kumbya, and THIS,

and Oh man this game is rulez right? Totally.

What a boring ass forum it would be, so IF you don't like the "negetivity:, go be apart of the myth that the forum is only comprised of whiners, while everyone else is playing Skyrim. but don't come here to undermind people with legitimate concerns and trying to downplay their efforts to get things right, if you like the game then participate in a "why this game will be goty" or shush.

↑ People like this is what makes this forum turn into a horrible place for Beth fans (every single one of his posts have been negative SKYRIM bashing). But besides that, every forum is going to have a [censored] load of negativity. Don't worry. If the player isn't smart enough to read multiple reviews and decide that he likes the game on his own - then he probably will just miss out.

[Madeleine Rose Walsh]

Sorry that it's not all flower power up in here.

I'm not a salesman for Bethesda.

[Rachel Eloise Getoutofmyface]

Everything that I don't complain about is.... good?

You've only been around for a week, you cannot see individual posts if your not registered, so when you come up with a post of mines that is bashing skyrim let me know, otherwise don't qoute me for crap. I mean your post makes no damn sense, If a player isnt smart enough to read multiple reviews and decide that they like the game on his own, Um Reading reviews is deciding on your own? I thought playing it yourself was?

[Prisca Lacour]

I don't why some people don't grasp the concept that somebody can love the game, but dislike certain parts and discuss it with the community to see how it can be improved. This game is really amazing, but far from perfect with plenty of annoying aspects. It's its a good thing people want to discuss the bad so that it can eventually be modded to people's tastes.

[QuinDINGDONGcey]

Im baffled that some people actually believe complaining on an internet forum actually resolves things. Im sure the same lot have had equally negative things to say about any number of games (or other things in life) and have no doubt seen little result. In short, Bethesda makes games, you excersize your vote as a consumer FOR Bethesda by buying said game. Now its already after the fact, and theres not much to be done about it unless you return the game. If you find yourself not liking Bethesda games then you can equally excersize your voice as a consumer by not freakin buyin it. This isnt really rocket science, in fact its not even moderately complicated. Kind of ironic that people that dont understand this simple bit of logic often want the game to be harder and more complex, or maybe they're just autistic savants, who knows? Dont care.

Either way, logic also dictates that these people at least have a moderate understanding that amongst the millions of voices that theirs individually carries no more weight nor is there any likelyhood that its going to be heard. This whole charade that they just want the game to be made better is laughable. No, you most likely just want to whine because your toy isnt amusing you anymore, and you want the world to know about it and hopefully share your frustration. Either that or you just really are naive enough to believe that Bethesda is going to take your particular concerns into account. Im either case maturity and social awareness definitely arent falling on your side.

That said, Skyrim is not a perfect game. Good grief, the fact I even have to say that to justify my comments somehow makes me sick. Since when did human beings that are so uniformly flawed start expecting perfection from anything in the first place? What spoiled punks we must look like. Anyways, Im having a great time with the game, Ive ran into a few bugs, like not being able to absorb a dragons soul. But rather than come on the forum to whinge about it I cleaned my sword off and went and tracked down another dragon and havent had the problem again. Iphones and all that crap are making a mockery of peoples values of self reliance and determination. They just expect to push some button or ring someone up and resolving their issues is going to be that simple. No, sometimes you're going to be disapointed, and you're going to have to wade through the mud sometimes to get to the other side. Cowboy up and do your best and shut up? Thats really what it boils down to I reckon.

The fact that you say TES will die off because its "core fan base" will leave makes you come across as an ignorant elitist. The truth is that Skyrim has received overwhelmingly positive feedback, aside from your so-called "core fan base". It just goes to show that TES is faaaaaar away from "dying off" and is actually increasing in popularity.

You want proof? I can either refer you to its Metacritic critic and user scores, its 3,522,223 sales worldwide, or the (literally) 100% of my friends, who own Skyrim, saying it is either amazing or the best game they've ever played.

Oh yeah, constructive criticism is nice (the game isn't perfect) but just spewing nonsense about how TES is "dumbed down nonsense compared to Morrowind" takes our community down a notch.

Wow. Reading reviews is how you find out about the game /stupid. The fact you even tried to make that an argument shows the ignorance.

I've seen at least five of your posts. They've all been negative beyond constructive criticism.

Skyrim is the my favorite game of all time. It is just fun all the time. Now definitely not saying it is perfect, I know I have a long list of things that are faulty, either bug related or implemented poorly. Morrowind was fun but it was buggy too and had faults, I think people look back and get nostalgic so they don't think of the problems. One simple thing that was wrong with Morrowind was the gameplay. It was excruciatingly annoying, without a high luck you would miss everything even though you were right in front of it. SOME (I said some, NOT most or all) of the quests in it were bland and far from fun. I remember I had to use a glitch with soul trap to even make it so
I could hit anything. And even though werewolves were in it (which was amazing and I miss 1st person werewolf) it suffered from the same gameplay flaw but you couldn't glitch that part.

[Ash]

LOL It's kinda true that most fans are busy playing the game because it's so addicting! But I'm rather new to the game so I needed some help and came to scan through posts.
But so far, i'm really loving the game.

[Matthew Barrows]

Oh god its like your doing it on purpose, from your previous post you stated for someone to decide if they like the game, they should read reviews not in that order but that is what you where insinuating, be clear next time. the post you qouted had NOTHING to do with Skyrim, and like I said, find a post where I'm bashing Skyrim otherwise don't say I did something I didn't. I have 6,909 posts and 5 of which you have 0 proof of are aparently negetive. you can stop now, its funny for just a moment.

[Hot]

You need to remember, a lot of these people don't have lives so Skyrim is pretty much their life. If there's something wrong with it that they don't like that's it the worlds over. It's all they have. Just let them have it.

[Daddy Cool!]

Wow this thread is a testiment to the so called "negetivity" of the forums, under 3 threads stating opinions or convos of glitches, and folsk Blow it up bigger than it ever will be. Engrave your wasting your time, being honest is obviously frowned upon.

First off, it's not elitism. Every game has a core fan base whether you know it or not. The core fan base are those who support the game and give their honest opinions of what works and what doesn't. The core fan base actually takes the time to post on the forums and wants to give ideas on how to make the game better.

Sales only tells you how many people buy the game. It doesn't tell you how many people turn it back in, how many people play it and will never play it again nor another TES game again. It doesn't tell you whether the person actually likes RPG's, as this game was targeted for those that don't.

There has been plenty of constructive critisim and they have been called whiners and worse. They have been berated for giving and honest opinion. THAT takes the community down a couple of notches, not giving an opinion of how you think the game is.

[Chelsea Head]

It makes me sad to think of people who come here to get opinions of the game and whether or not they should buy it. These boards are wayyy too negative for how good of a game this is.

Complaining about complaints just adds to the initial problem. Constructive criticism is not only permissible on the forums, but welcomed.
