I think i'm finished : V - Skyrim

I agree, but i never can get immersed in this for it's lack of depth. I'm kind of sad that it's hard to RP in this game and get what you want out of it. All the achievements is like goodbye six

For me the RP experience is not that much about the quests and the in-game story. It is but it weighs very little. Kind of like writing your own story and letting the character act it out for you. That's how I enjoy Skyrim.

As far as a comparison to goodbye six...I don't know what that is. Every time a relationship got to the goodbye part I can assure you that six had absolutely no role what so ever.

I mostly agree and have made the same points myself it's fun but once the newness and eyecandy wears off it's just another RPG that could have been great even Epic but has to many problems with story and characters to get there. I remember playing Mass Effect and becoming a Spectre and got chills . This game just doesn't have those kind of moments . Becoming a Nightingale is the closest thing so far but really didn't have the same impact. I could go on with all the really great moments that Mass Effect had as well as DAO but those that have played them know what i'm taliking about. I like Skyrim and it is a fun game but Beth did not hit it out of the park a solid triple though. Having said all that this game does bring ALOT to the table and is the new standard for RPG's in terms of realism combat and graphics. These developers have got to quit dumming down our RPG's though or there going to kill the goose that laid the golden egg so to speak.

Mass Effect's one of my favorite franchises of all time, mostly in part of the sense of emotion it inspires. Skyrim doesn't come close to that immersion

i m surprised some people who played skyrim felt this way. Personally i play games just for the story. If the story is good, i will keep playing it(points to zenonia 1,2,3,4 even though its very repetitive). Skyrim has one of the best stories and gameplay, but details like bugs/exploits/repetitive combat dont get me because i enjoyed the game. I think u should focus on other details and stop giving a f about the achievements.

I personally love skyrim but even I can tell the game lacks in some area's, I got more rpgs then I care to count at the moment most are final fantasy games including ff7 which if your going for a perfect game will test your determination and ability to put many many hours into the game. Skyrim certainly is fun no doubt their but the stories do run a little to short they could be deeper and more fleshed out. In end the though everyone is open to opinion I personally only buy and play games I know Ill like and get my moneys worth out of and skyrim has been no exception to that fact.

Somebody has stopped playing Skyrim.....

Whatever.

I didn't realize "Gamerscore" was what defined "serious" gamers....

Have i just been compared to hitler? and while i find this humorous, it's NOT ABOUT THE GAMERSCORE

» Sat Jun 09, 2012 11:02 am

lol i knew i'd get a little hate. but i'm close to hitting all the achievements so that's my last skyrim goal. i do love this game though, i just don't think it holds up under a magnifying glass

This is the first game I've bought where I've even looked at the achievements, in previous game I've only got the achievements that just happen when you finish a level on whatever but 90% of the Skyrim ones are like that, when you play for hundreds of hours your gonna get them all anyway.

I don't think there is a difficult one on there, I don't have experience with achievement but aren't they supposed to be difficult?, that discover 100 locations one is daft, how can finding a mere 20% of the worlds locations be classed as achieving anything?, it should be find 500 locations.

» Sat Jun 09, 2012 4:58 am

mods would be nice. i'm a 360 gamer though, and i don't achievement [censored], i only have three games complete and 56000+ gamerscore. I think TES should be everyone's first RPG. It really is amazing the first time you play

Only!, dude I just checked mine and my score is 625 so you got me beat by quite a margin.

Skyrim, the first many hours with you were pretty fun. But alas, so much hardcoe gaming has made me a critic, and there's something about this game that doesn't sit well with me.
I do enjoy this game, this isn't hate just criticism.
Skyrim is a huge, beautiful world that demands you run across every inch, but remember the old saying, "Beauty is only skin deep?" I think this is the problem with Skyrim. The combat isn't stellar, it's easily exploited and beaten by a player like myself so raw gameplay isn't enough to keep my chips in the pot. The story (main, guilds, sides) isn't gripping nor are they long enough to develop any sense of true involvement in the roles that you're set to play. Another issue for me, between loading times, sheer size and uninteresting dialogue, it feels like this game is just killing time until it gets to a scarce moment where it's truly cool. I think Skyrims problem is that it's too big. Beth wanted it to be made accessible to anyone, and they did in a brilliant way, but as a guy who's played many games, I don't feel TES V: Skyrim appeals to the hardcoe gamer.
In my opinion, Skyrim is for new or casual gamers, and i've outgrown that. So thanks for the good times, but this game will be shelved after I get 1000 gamerscore.
EDIT: i only mentioned gamerscore because it's my last goal for this game, after that there's nothing for me to come back to. I don't get games for achievements
REEDIT: IT'S NOT ABOUT THE GAMERSCORE. The last bit made me sound like an achievement [censored], sorry, but this is about taking a look at skyrim from a critic's perspective.

Wow do you need a tissue or a freakin tampon? Get over it. I'm sick of hearing you lame ass [censored] bags complain about a game that's given u a lot of hours of game play. Too bad MS can't take away your gs for this. Panzy ass milk drinker!

I have a big library. What's in yours besides skyrim?

Heres a good example of the quality of player they are designing games for now.

If only fists didn't go through screens upon impact.

If only monitors served as temporary wormholes so I could punch your face for your bigotry.

Agreed OP.

It's called a matter of opinion, and unlike the OP, many others share the same views as him.
Don't have anything good to say? Then giit aaaaout~

I played Skyrim for a total of 74 hours! And quit. It's boring, old, and actually I can see it being mainly for new gamers. Everybody talks about it, and most are a bunch of new people who bought it. Fallout 3 and New Vegas were better imo, and that's what I'm going back to.

» Sat Jun 09, 2012 12:09 pm

I disagree, Skyrim is the most fun I've had with a game in years. I do think there's room for improvement, but I'm enjoying Skyrim an awful lot.

For the record, I really don't like Mass Effect, and Fallout doesn't interest me. Different strokes and all that -shrugs-

Yup, cause CoD has way more replayability. Have fun on you console with your "gamerscore".

You say you aren't concerned with achievements but are keeping track of your gamerscore? The next CoD should be out in a few weeks. Have fun.

» Fri Jun 08, 2012 7:57 pm

Maybe wait until DLC comes out?

» Sat Jun 09, 2012 5:43 am

-o- Dont talk about dlc... I miss the Shivering Isles........ *cry*

As do I...

Here's to hoping for a DLC like the Shivering Isles because that was the best expansion I've ever played.

i miss Fimmion and his sweet roll fetish.

Okay, I hate the elitism oozing from various people who are disappointed with this game. I get it, Skyrim wasn't the game you hoped it was. That's sad, I know. However, to imply that the people who do enjoy Skyrim are 'obviously new players' or of a 'lower class' than you is outright vile.

I've played games for 15 years, there abouts. Perhaps some of you have played longer, but I'd say 15 years puts me into the 'not a new gamer' bracket. I don't like any FPS game, I don't feel Bioware's storylines are particularly innovative or interesting, I don't like stats-heavy gameplay (though on occassion, I can tolerate it) and I really like Skyrim. My opinions might differ from yours but they are just as valid. If Skyrim was the first game I'd ever picked up, my opinion on it would still mean just as much as yours.

Now, I'm not saying Skyrim is flawless or that people don't have a right to complain. The bugs definitely deserve attention and some of the stories and characters would benefit from a little more developer-love. But for heavens sake, I don't think it's too much to ask that people on this board stop making silly assumptions about one another just because they have different opinions.
