Big disappointment

Post » Sat Jun 02, 2012 5:21 am

I don’t criticise games easily but this is the worst of the series. What was Bethesda playing at? It’s like Oblivion with all the fun taken out, crap voice actors and boring quests. The guilds are just garbage and are over way too quickly. It’s not much fun either. No immersion whatsoever. No substance. Dragons appear so often they lose their shine within the first five hours and are too easy to take down.

I want my money back but will give it another few hours or play in the hope a miracle happens and it gets better after 30 hours.
That Oblivion should have been replaced with Morrowind to make people in these forums to agree with you.

You bothered making a thread to spin this nonsense? No YOU don't like it, a majority of people love it, including all the critics, just coz you don't like it doesn't mean it 'svcks' it means the game isn't for you or you are playing it wrong, there is a difference. Just coz you think something is so doesn't make it fact infact I am sure you are in the minority.
This. I hate when people try to force their opinion on me and try to pass it off as a fact. OP, you think Skyrim svcks. That's an opinion, because the majority of people I know love the game. I love the game, I love it more than any other Bethesda game (and yes, I've played many other Bethesda games). If you don't like it, don't play it, and don't come here trying to convince us that it "svcks".

Much respect for not flaming me. People need to know this latest addition to the Elder Scrolls svcks.

"X svcks" is an opinion. It's completely subjective. So, I'm not really sure why "people need to know" your opinion. Not a flame, just pointing out there is a big difference between subjective and objective statements- a difference far too many people seem to not understand these days.

My opinion is different.

No offense (well maybe some) it does kind of sound like you criticize games easily.

But anyway that is your opinion, I absolutely love it (I like it more than Oblivion, undecided about Morrowind vs Skyrim, still have a lot more playing to do).

Interesting though that you say you have seen so many dragons and they had lost their shine in the first five hours. I am curious as to how you have been playing, as others comment after many more hours than that they rarely see dragons. In my first five hours I had seen practically none other than the village scene. But I wasn't fast traveling, I was wandering around the wilderness on foot exploring. I didn't start on the main quest till well after five hours.

Guess what? I'm loving it.

So while you're here, bitterly complaining on this forum, I'll be playing it and having fun. How do you like them apples? You come on here trying to convince people the game is bad? Get over yourself lol

Riiiiight. So you are, like, providing a public service or something?

Good thing you don't criticize games easily and were just sharing you honest opinion and weren't on a crusader to educate the masses about a game that has been out for over a month now. :huh:

Skyrim is fun, quality just like Oblivion. Visually Skyrim is far above Oblivion. Minor graphic issues but that will be fixed very soon or it may even be the latest drivers I'm using. I think a lot gamers who are familiar with the previous games will find Skyrim easy to play.

I for example ever since the days of Oblivion :) never jump right into the main quest from the beginning. I always do side missions to built up and level up to Level 30 minimum to play the main quests.

I'm level 25.5 as of 9 December 2011 and I only play Skyrim on Tuesdays Fridays and Saturdays.

This.

It's an all too common theme here as of late which atypically lacks substance or any form of actual constructive criticism to merit debate. Just whine.

Gaming forums after a new release are often this way though. Give it a few weeks and it tends to fade.

Edit:Just had a random thought. I've played some crap games in the last 20+ years and in all honesty the last thing I would do is waste time in that games forum moaning how crap it was. In saying is there a a forum for ET on the 2600?

Mixed bag. Some aspects of it are absolutely not up to snuff (too short quest line, overly streamlined character creation, missing options that gimp role playing). Others are great (wide open world, great atmosphere, better combat, etc.). Two steps forward, three steps sideways, two steps back ... you're not really back where you started but you haven't really moved ahead either.

For all of that it's fun and even "vanilla" is IMHO worth $60. I have set it aside waiting for the CK. I'll get much more than my money's worth after I mod the heck out of it.

Why ppl can't respect what other ppl think, wtf would i care to what a bunch of blinds care for? Man if you like and if "a majority of people love it" what right this give to you flame the topic owner? How i love hypocrite ppl that love to flame ppl so they can lick the boots of pll that don't give a **** either to the author opinion or to the opinion of this troller above.

Well, in my opinion this game is flawed yes, but with the proper fixes can become an epic rpg, i don't know what other ppl will do, but i will bet in the sucess of this game in a long term.

Anyone who's conclusion is "X svcks" doesn't deserve much respect. They're just whining on a fan forum. Kind of pointless, wouldn't you agree?

If you want to be helpful make a list of things that could be improved. Such as. . .

-Bandit AI
-Quest choice
-Main Guild quest length
-Lack of Vampire content

and that kind of thing. Make your voice heard on what you want to see improved.

That's just your opinion :)

This is the best TES ever, and possibly the best game I've ever played. Easily GOTY.

Each to his own. I personally think Skyrim knocks both Morrowind and Oblivion out of the park.

I've already gotten in trouble for being a jerk on threads like these so I'm going to calmly respond with a question.

What is the purpose of this thread? It isn't to start a discussion. It isn't to discuss how to fix the game. Why is it that so many posters here feel that people care about their personal experiences? You didn't like it. We get it. Couldn't you find any of the existing threads to actually discuss the aspects of the game you disliked? Why start thread after thread?

Whatever. I couldn't care less if the rest of the world hated the game. I loved it. That's all I care about.

After 100 hours with Skyrim I can say that Oblivion crushes Skyrim. It is still a fantastic game but I can't help being disappointed.

Bummer for you that you don't enjoy it. While it's certainly not perfect (what is?), I'm having more fun playing Skyrim than I have with just about any other game I've played (including other TES/Bethesda games).

Its all blatantly subjective.

Thing is if you post how much you hate ice-cream on an ice-cream forum the fans of ice-cream will object.

It's hardly trolling as opposed to expected reaction on a header that offers little merit for actual debate.

Mnmm....Ice-cream.
