Why does people hate on this game?

Post » Mon Jun 04, 2012 11:04 pm

I don't understand why people say they're disappointed of Skyrim and then compare it to another game. Its a new game. It has new things. The elder scrolls series shouldn't be the same. Every time. I also saw many threads saying Skyrim is dark. No it isn't.... It has a beautiful environment and a realistic feel to it. When I first play the game. I just took my time to look at every details. The leaves falling from the trees. The chirping from the birds. The waterfall. The river. Fish jumping in the water. The wind blowing the trees and grasses. Its just wonderful... I think every Elder scrolls game is unique since its very different from each other.Stop hating on skyrim and take your time to think about it. I'm just annoyed that every time I go the forums. I would see threads saying Oh... I'm disappointed. People are disappointed because its new and they just don't understand the concept. I just wonder... Do people ever think before they make a thread?

The majority of us are disappointed because the game is broken. It has more bugs than any game I have ever played and the game-breaking lag on the PS3 is so bad that its unplayable.

Too often do I find that people who misunderstand the criticisms leveled at the game, do so because they immediately equate criticism with outright disapproval. Isn't it possible that many of the "complainers" love the game, but want to point out what they see to be flaws or missteps because those things impact their gameplay? What one gamer enjoys, another may find tedious. What one finds mediocre, another will find outstanding. When it comes to Skyrim and the general consensus I get, it seems Skyrim is hit or miss on many different aspects of play. Great environment, poor graphics (in some respects). Lots of features, very little depth to many of them.


also this. skyrim is one of the best games ive had the pleasure to play in recent memory, and is a beacon of light in the sea of brown CoD clones and skinner boxes. that doesnt suddenly mean it is excused for the myriad of ways it horribly failed to engage me, or from the myriad of bugs and senseless removal of gameplay elements.

i say skyrim is the worst game in the series, but thats like saying a hamdjob is worse than a blwjob. its freaking awesome, but you know how a blwjob feels and the basics of how it works, and your not getting that. its frustrating when it could be so much better, often in some very simple ways that arent being used just because hamdjobs are easier for the hoker to do and much cleaner, meaning more people get them more because they are a quick fix than for them actually being the best possible service available.

please dont hinge on the idea that bethesda is a prosttute in this comparison, and feel free to quote this brilliant and tasteful anology at your leisure :disguise: .

The Person that Murdered my sister has my hate.
Skyrim? Hate? No, there is no way any game, can deserve my hate.
I LOVE skyrim though.
but once you have been thru a loss like losing a sister thru a senseless act of murder, can you understand hate.

Um, ok... :blush:

You are very welcome.

I agree its just a game, I think when they say hate I think they mean strongly dislike, that is how I use it anyways. I dislike some features and I want them improved.

I come here in the hope that Bethesda will hear me out: another reason is I come here for help and most everybody on here is very helpful.

We are also a group of like minded people that really enjoy one game and that is The Elder Scrolls, peace be with you my friend. :biggrin:

They complain about EVERYTHING.

The game is too hard.
The game is too easy.

Too many creatures.
Not enough creatures.

Too complex
Too streamlined.

Not enough quests.
Too many quests.


Those are opposite complaints. It means that people have different opinions.

There are people here playing on adept and complaining about the difficulties on this game.
There are people here exploiting the whole crafting system. And then they complain that the game is too easy.

BTW, I'm not saying that the game is perfect. It's far from it.
But people here complain too much :(
Just saying

aww didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.
Just really dislike the word "hate" it's my own problem
Yup there are parts of the game that I strongly dislike also. Like not being able to absorb a dragon soul when I just spent an 1/2 hour trying to kill it.
And I do love the forums. They saved my computer when I was having trouble with Oblivion a couple yrs ago.
I LOVE the elder scrolls. just once in awhile, especially at christmas I dislike seeing the word "hate" in a game forum.

Too many creatures encounters just moving from town to town.
Not enough variety of creatures.

I was just joking. :biggrin:
Mine is bugs, ash piles not disappearing, weapons not disappearing that enemies dropped, none respawning enemies on the outside of dungeons, arrows not fading out of the world they just stick wherever, there is a bug on the 360 version where it will not display saves.

Gameplay wise the lack of old spell types and spell creation.

Yes they are very helpful.

I agree Christmas should be a happy time.

Well, but that was totally predictable.

There are a lot of casual gamers that know about this game.
They were hyped up. A lot.
This game is not simple for them. It can streamlined for some of us, but it's not for them.
The idea of so many things to do is overwhelming.



Bethesda wanted the game to be playable for everyone?
It's impossible!
Let's be honest here. A lot of users here are hardcoe gamers.

No, not for a Beth game. Beth's games are about YOU creating a character and living the character's life, not about Beth making a story, quests, etc. If you want a deep story, play a Japanese RPG such as Xenosaga or Tales of Vesperia or Star Ocean. If you want a deep world to experience, play a Beth game. Two different approaches, both are good.

Did you not play F3? A story of an orphan and an abandoned dream, that gets resolved and people notice somethings different. Alright its not the most amazing original and deepest of stories, but at least with the choices you make and actions you take YOU help shape the world, in skyrim it's almost like I nuked megaton but it's still there and people are out to kill me but not for megaton for some completely unknown random reason. Or Oblivion or morrowind, are you really trying to say that Bethesda way is to lessen depth in each passing game? Because I don't understand how you can think that unless you think depth of story can only be gotten though epic battles against evil that will devour the world...oh wait. Even then you can make depth though little things, mainly just having actions impact the world in a sensible way, thats what a TES game is, thats how you create a story of your character, but it's barely passable in this. "Day 2 1/2 in the big brother house, oh wait I won and am king of the world now...how did that happen and why do people keep calling me the mead fetcher?".

Yeah I should be more greatful after PAYING them for this game, and not be dissappointed at all, bad me I realise now wishing things that they have done before in the series let alone other delevelopers have done to be back in the game and any critisms of any part of the game is always invalid in anyway, I might as well be throwing a tantrum and demanding that they put in a unicorn that can fly though all of nirn and solitude should be the size of london and twice as busy, if they don't do that in 6 days let alone 6 years I will send them death threats.

People have complaints deal with it but to make a seperate topic to COMPLAIN about people that have complaints no matter how well they have written them out and thought them out with reasonable suggestions that even 10 year old technology could handle, your only being like them or worse ie. a hypocrite. Did you think before you made a thread? It doesn't seem like it too me, TES isn't FF to make a new experience each time, improved and with different story yes but a whole new concept? Complaints on the visuals of the game world are limited, people that are unhappy with aspects of the game aren't with that but shiny new graphics does not equal "concept". Although nice use of birds tweeting to invalidate any right anyone has to make a complaint, I personally love to watch that as the nearly 2D hawk slides me off a cliff with incredible strength I can't push back, or as thalmor agents try to kill me for the 50th time for being a thorn in thier side, which prior to the pile of hitsquads behind me I have never interacted with them once, even the thalmor at helgen shouldnt have know how I was or that I was coming, even then they shouldn't have cared about me I wasn't the person they wanted.

Actually I would say there are too many quests, they've used radiant story as an excuse to not pad out the larger quest lines in many areas leaving them lacking in effect. I like the genre and having fewer but better put together quests over an "unlimited" random quests, it's nothing to do with being overwhelmed, in fact it's the opposite It's being underwhelmed when someone won't take a staff I found in a random dungeon I choose to go in on my own accord and not be told I need to go there to get X, it's being underwhelmed by being asked to get a book for the umpeth time which suffers the same as the previous problem, it's being underwhelm that once it's done the actors involved don't adjust thier lives in an tiny sense.

I'm a fan of the elder scrolls and I wouldn't even talk about one thing bad about the game because I respect bethesda and I love their games alot... I would only talk about the positive things about the game.

The thing is, the devs actually want constructive criticism. While they may not change things to suit every individual, they do appreciate well thought out criticism and ways that they might be able to improve an aspect of the game.

Complaining about people complaining is sort of circular and pointless. This isn't really going anywhere in a positive, non-complaining direction, so it can close.
