You're not allowed to be dissapointed by Skyrim, it's a great game.

That`s wise. Few on the net seem to know how to learn from those with experience. They`d rather argue brainlessly on what they `think`.

Again, everyone who disagrees with you isn't uneducated, they just disagree with you. The sooner you learn this, the better you'll get at debate.

By the way, games are not scotch.

And according to pretty much every reviewer and the insane sales record, the game has plenty of life and heart.

These forums are a wonderful microcosm of whining, but they represent less than 1% of the playerbase.

I think Skyrim got such high ratings because it has been rated on a few hours of play. Every website out there wishes to get their review out as soon as possible to get as many visitors as they can. The first twenty hours of Skyrim can be fantastic. You want to see everything and experience everything but after those few hours I noticed that there wasn't anything more to experience.

I think it's the hype and the so called ''reviews'' that gave Skyrim the praise it has gotten.

...so does this mean you're going to stop spewing your special brand of uninformed crap all over the forums then?

*sniggers*

Now that there is a touche if I ever saw one ;).

Plus not like Beth can bribe reviewers, to get the metacritic up ;)?

It's still one of the top-ranked games on Steam. And I think people have gotten past the first 20 hours by now.

Edited for above post: Ah yes, the argument based around a completely un-provable proposition. If I don't agree with reviewers, then maybe Bethesda bribed them. You can't prove me wrong, therefore it's probably what happened.

What was that you said about taste?

"Can't account for taste."

It's very true here ;).

That's a fantastically educated opinion about opinions you have there. Have you considered running for office?

Then again, condescendingly assuming that you are right without contest tends to give you that mindset. There is actually a number of psychological disorders that could be applied to such a perspective, but I suspect you're not quite that mad. All the world's a stage.

It's far less common for people to percevie themselves and their arguments with the eyes of others, yet far more succesful.

To show my claim about bribery isn't so baseless, as people do it for other games too, I like Dragon Age 2 and people claimed any good scores were bribed. That's the relevance -.-.

...but I am on a higher plane of understanding than most people on these forums. :confused: Really. There's a very small group of people who know what they're talking about on these forums... and the rest are completely clueless.

Pity you're so poor at explaining it then since after your many lengthy posts people still don't neccessarily agree with you.

I don't see anyone claiming that here, and it was childish and immature when people said it about Bioware. It's a pointless speculation that just makes you look desperate to find any reason to support your assertion that this game isn't really popular or good. It's just an illuuuuuusion.

Ok, i`m going to respond like an advlt now for this reply (though I usually waste my time doing this).

Some people are simply right while others are wrong at various times. It`s a fact of life. I know many don`t like it.

Similarly, some of us have the experience of previous rpgs over quite a few years (like over 10) and when we say that Skyrim is `dumbed-down` or lacking the indepth of gameplay of previous rpgs, then perhaps those with that experience are right over those who`ve played one or two games over a period of 5 years who then turn out to be wrong?

I don`t usually get into arguments like this because the inexperienced who refuse to consider these things will simply argue away because they can- especially on the `nets`.

But don`t worry, I`ve been wrong too. Just not in this case.

After playing New Vegas, it just about became my favorite game of all time, with Fallout 1, I suppose I didn't realise there's only so few of these deep rpg's out there.

In comparison, Skyrim is more of an action adventure. I don't care AT ALL about ANY character. I don't care if anyone dies, everything is static, there's no depth.

I love the game's adventuring, but hate it when I see the uncountable missed opportunities in characters and quests. I consider many an npc in new vegas, and some in Oblivion, my character's friend. My skyrim character doesn't give a [censored] about anyone.

I didn't care at all about any character in New Vegas. Some people love chocolate and some people love vanilla. Bethesda makes different styled RPGs than Obsidian. It' more about discovery than anything else, I love RPGs that put discovery first and they're really rare nowadays and Bethesda really is the only company willing to try to make a game worth exploring instead of leading the play by the nose and giving a canned Choose Your Own Adventure style choices.

Dragon Age 2 wasn't as well received by the critics as Skyrim was. Furthermore, just because Dragon Age 2 received scores that you deemed unfit doesn't mean it is due to bribery, just a difference of opinion. If Dragon Age 2 had received as much critical acclaim as Skyrim has thus far, then you might have a stronger basis for your accusations. Just my opinion - don't shoot me over it. :D
