I only have two games listed in my all time favorites, Darklands and Fallout 3.
Skyrim is floating around somewhere in my Very Enjoyable category.

It's somewhere up there with Fallout 3, Timesplitters 2, and Splinter Cell: Chaos theory. Not sure I could give those 4 games a specific order though.

Im going to say one word and few people are going to maybe rethink if Skyrim really is the best game of all time;

X-Com.



EDIT;
Bugger, just noticed someone else already said it. Oh well.

1. KOTOR
2.Skyrim
3. Dragon age origins
4.team fortress 2
5.half-life series
6.left 4 dead series

I'll have to check that sega one out. This thread is bringing up all these old games i have on my HD that i play every few years. Suikoden, traysia (sega game), persona series etc.

There's just something about XCOM I don't know what, It's so addicting, as is skyrim

Shhhhhh dont tell everyone but........there is a new one coming out. Keep it under your hat.

Skyrim ranks at 16.

It won't be that good...it's gonna be a first person shooter...the whole turn based concept is what got me hooked

Nope it will rock because............................................., they are making a TBS game the same as the original as well as the new FPS franchise version.

Party time.

They said that about the fallout series and FO3 and FNV are among my all time favorite games.

Skyrim tops the list.

I couldn't give a specific number. I can tell you it's not in the top 10. I'm not personally sure it makes the top 10 RPGs for me (A category that's otherwise heavily Bethesda). The major reasons why:

It has atmosphere, but not personality. I can't even name the woman who blacksmiths right insie the gate at Whiterun, despite talking to her nearly every day. I know her dad is the right hand man to the Jarl. But other than that, she's just a person to sell crap to. I can name a large number of characters in The Witcher, which I've played less, had shelved for longer, etc.

The user interface needs to be preserved in the Smithsonian, so that future generations can learn what a UI should never be.

Character interactions are extremely dry. Conversations are where you define your character's personality. Too bad Skyrim pretty much consists of options that are "tell me more" and "don't tell me more", with the occasional "I am being a very rude person because Bethesda needed a bad guy option."

Leveling is too easy/unrewarding. I've been over this a bunch, and it's pretty much "levels are too easy to gain (by a factor of 3), 10 points of * is like 3% for me, and that's not enough to change the outcome of a battle, and the perks bore me." Or, you can just sum it up as "I really dislike it in the extreme." Either way, the current system degrades my ability to enjoy the game.

I'd say its up there with Morrowind,Warband and the C&C series. I can't give any numbers, need a few more years before i decide if it will be in my top 5 of all time.

Dude, major nostalgia trip! that was a awesome game!

but yeah been gaming since the late 80's early 90's so Skyrim makes it maybe in the lower teens? I'm not sure.

That's really hard.. I know I'm going to forget a game somewhere in that list. But I guess if i had to just decide fast it would be.

1. Maple Story & Mabinogi (Not proud though...)
2. Zelda : Ocarina of Time (F-Yea)
3. Spyro Series (Childhood memories<3)
4. Mario Kart (F-Yea)
5. TES Series (Skyrim would be here)
6. Everything else on the N64. And Sega Genesis.

1st for now, Battlefield 3 2nd, CoD blackops 3rd, and Cod Mod 3 4th

next to Oblivion.. what number can't say but I can say its not in the top 10 or 15. Now heavily Modded it will be #8

It doesn't.

No aspect of it is that great or that thought out and fleshed out.

Skyrim #1, then in no particular order:

Morrowind
Final Fantasy Tactics
Fallout 3
Fallout NV
Oblivion
Deus Ex
Dungeons and dragons eye of the beholder for sega cd
Nhl 93 and 94

Hmmm....

Took a while to think on this one.....

Most memories I have come from only one game......Skyrim is too new still....And, really ranks maybe 9th or 10th so far.
I am thinking it will move up to say 2nd place....eventually with more playtime.....

First is definitely Daggerfall: many memories after getting windows 95 for the first time upgrade from MSDOS, and getting the game to run
perfectly for me......just spending days and days on end playing forever. There really still is no other game like it in depth or size....it's massive, and
I still keep it installed on my dinosaur windows 98 machine with nostalgic games on it.....lands of lore, etc.

Skyrim is a beautifully realized game though......just for me, not quite number 1

Top 5 for sure.

Skyrim is not on that list.
I have played it a lot over the past few months and have got to know it extensively.
I cannot view it solely as a stand alone game, I must view it in light of the others in the series.
I find Skyrim beautiful, but hollow, shallow, unengaging, horribly simplified.

Its a good game, but its not on my list of best games I have ever played.

-Morrowind
-CIV
-UFO: XCOM defense
-Menzoberranzan
-Eye of the Beholder

it's not on the list. Sorry

Releases the same game every year with barely no changes?

Yeah, that DOES sound like TES.
