Almost 5 months later... what do you think of Skyrim? : V

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 12:22 pm

I've played Skyrim for more than 300 hours across 4 characters and experienced a lot of content... along with the fair share of bugs and frustrations. I feel that the game, while being quite flawed, is still one of the best games I've ever played, and probably the best open-world RPG of 2011.

What do you think about Skyrim? Was it worth all the hype leading up to 11/11/11? Did it live up to your expectations? What are some things that you feel Skyrim did right and stuff it did wrong?

Bloody hell has it really been 5 months already? Time goes fast when you're having fun.

Anyway, I still love Skyrim. I don't play it as much as I used to, but I still like it very, very much.

I preferred previous titles but it's cool.

Good, but not great.

Way too many things cut out, from skills (hand to hand?????!) to shortswords. The forced kill animations were a real dealbreaker for me, but overall I enjoyed playing.. I still have stuff to do but have kinda done the meat of the game.

I like it more than previous titles and cannot wait for the DLC.

i really like skyrim a lot. enjoy playing it, for now, but, won't know if it has the longevity of the other games until later, obviously.

lots of needless flaws and definitely not the "game of a lifetime" that i was hoping, lol.

though, i still feel gamesas had everything handed to them on a platter to be such a game.

a missed breakaway dunk, imo.

Grear game...had potential to be a top 10 game of all time but sadly we will not get that

Meh*

I had a whole lotta fun. I kinda wish that I had bamf gaming PC so I can get mods, and I wouldn't mind waiting for the GOTY edition and re-playing it!

shallow, vapid, horrible endings to every questline, repetitive faction quest lines, horrible loot system that does not reward you for exploring

A vast ocean 3 inches deep

One of my favourite games and probably will be in years to come.
I think I would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't gazed at the same trailers, interviews and demo for hours on end before it's release, I spoiled myself by finding out some of the features that otherwise would have been mind-blowing for me.

I still occasionally play it, but not as excessively as I did a few months earlier.

Even though it has its flaws, the replay value on it is incredible. Any game that has that much replay value and content deserves to be called a "great game".

lol! shame on you.

you should know not to do that kind of thing.

same with using uesp, game forum spoilers, etc.

Same.

IMHO not the best RPG, but still a very enjoyable game. i like it, and i'm still playing. i'm on pc and i'm enjoying mods too

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 2:05 pm

Fantastic,it's my favorite game of all time.

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 4:50 am

do i think of anything else? :biggrin:

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 9:01 am

It met everything I was hoping. I still love it soooo much!!!

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 3:10 pm

Same as in the previous threads that asked much the same thing.

I enjoy the game and feel that it delivered great value for my gaming dollar.

Pretty much. Lots of potential, but poorly executed.

No complaints here. I'm still playing it daily.

It's a great game but a glass half filled for me personally, There are too many fundamental mechanics in Skyrim that i'm not a fan of & cannot get along with, Nothing can fix that.

My opinion has stayed the same since release after countless playthroughs & characters, I kept on digging into it as much as i could but just never found the true love as i did with OB or FO3.

Is it a great game? Hell yes, It's been a wonderful time sink & i've enjoyed all of it but it does not sit at the top of my tree.

Good game.
Exceeded my expectations (which weren't very high after Oblivion).

» Mon Jun 11, 2012 1:06 am

I'm disgusted by the lack of either Destruction scaling or spellcrafting. The game needed one or the other to be my number one favorite game of all time. Still, it's an amazing game and takes the number two spot behind Fallout: New Vegas.
