its definately not the greatest game ever made, but really, compare it to any other game ever made and its more than solid.
You cant really name a lot of open world games that are better than Skyrim. You cant really blame anyone for it being simple either. Cant throw sophisticated complex games like "Dwarf fortress" in the market and expect a gigantic profit or even a small handshake. Even Morrowind is too much for most people's patience.
And lol Nightmare. You played Skyrim now? And you are shitmouthing about combat? The combat was same shit back in Oblivion so that was no suprise to noone. Man you really live in a cave dont you.
Play Fallout: New Vegas instead.
There r ppl that have played it for 40+ hours just exploring and doing random shit without doing any quests.
Two worlds series, risen, gothic series, assasins creed series...Well now. I dont really have to explain why you are wrong any further. Two worlds, risen, gothic and assassins creed are better than skyrim? Man you really have no taste do you. Risen and Gothic are exactly the same garbage with even worse combat and crappy story. Especially Risen. Two worlds 1 is utter shit and AC is basically for sheep at this point. Two Worlds 2 was good thou. I somewhat agree on that. And really man you are wrong about the scoregiving. They werent scared of the fanboys. Belive it or not people did like the game. Even the most critical truth telling critics rated it high. Like Angry Joe and Zero Punctuation. And if you have watched their reviews they have no issues on utterly shitting on massive fanbases if the game really is shit. In which case its not. Its just your personal lack of taste which you are trying to shift to some mainstreamgaming issue to make yourself look cool. I can respect honest criticism. Skyrim aint that good, its got flaws and its not for everybody. But what you are doing is just being horribly wrong.
I have played many open world games, and most of them kept me going.
DA:O didn't use same engine as NWN. Nightmare spewing bullshit again.Lol seriuslly Nightmare. Atleast do us the courtesy of googeling before giving totally false info. I dont think he knows what an engine is. By god we once caught him not understanding the difference between a gif and a jpg. This would not suprise. :lol:
Difference in this game and any earlier elder scrolls installment is, that none of them were supposedly the best game of the year they were released.Also I think you are overexaggerating the importance of the GOTY title. It doesnt really mean "best game of the year". There is no such thing as the "worlds greatest game this year" title. As it appears thats what you think, otherwise you wouldnt really care about it, like mostly most people who know what a GOTY is. Shitton of websites and awardshows give out their own games of the year for different categories. Skyrim mybe won in few important pages in its own category, so Bethesda used that for marketing and made a GOTY edition which is a fully patched dlcd version of the game. Nothing more. Thats it. Again, thing you would have known if you had the ability to google.

Arent all open world games like this?What, spending most your time in underground corridors instead of actually in the open world? No they are not.

I might have replied seriously to you, but when I read you calling gothic series shit along with risen, I feel I would just waste my time with trying to show you the way out of dark depths of your ignorance and stupidity.The only one in that depth is you. For quite some time it has been only you. Risen was shit. Gothic 1 and 2 was good. 3 was utter shit and 4 was also garbage. I mean common man. You keep talking about deep combat mechanics and plots and than you bring up fucking Risen, Gothic and Assassins creed. 3 gameseries with legendarly crappy combat and stupid plots. They are not better than skyrim and in general they arent even considered as good games by the majority of people that have played them. Every reviewer and gamer would say the same(mybe not about AC). Gothic 1 and 2 are good and so is Two worlds. But thats it.

Oh look someone who plays mount&blade and thus thinks that everything that isn't mount&blade is complete shit.
But yea, elder scrolls always have shit combat, still great games though. Call me a filthy casual but I fucking love skyrim
Fuck it, son
you're retarded
oh god AC is literally the worst thing i have ever played :D
I did love Oblivion as it had a sense of fun (fighting trolls inside a painting ftw) and wasn't just dark brooding nonstop fucking ice like skyrim.
AC2 has better fucking plot than anything skyrim could ever pull off. The problem is that you are fanboy, and thus completely ignorant to any other good open world games ever released.What makes u think im a fanboy? Im not really that into TES at all. I hated Morrowind, I kinda liked Oblivion and I also kinda like Skyrim. Just cause im stating that you are wrong and I kinda like the game does not make me a blinded fanboy. Do you even know what a fanboy is? Id understand if I talked about it a lot and wore a t-shirt and called it the greatest game ever made...none that I have done btw. Id say fair enough if you compared it to some better games. But bloody Risen, Gothic and AC? I dont even..... Its like you picked the worst comparisons ever. I couldnt even pick any worse if I tried. :D
Sorry to break it for you, but skyrim is by far one of the most boring games ever. The plot is incredibly dumb and inconsistent. You dis risen? Man who the fuck are you kidding here? You dis good game and call tourist trekking: cleptomania unleashed as superior game? And your comment about me not knowing what game engine is, is laughable, especially when you are the one who mistook RAM memory for GPU memory some time ago. You are just another die hard fanboy. Point one thing out that is good in skyrim other than graphics. I dare you.

Then you will be laughing alone. I thought you told me to lighten the text on my posts so I did. Im pretty sure its you and only tasteless you that thinks these games are superior. Mybe very few others. Now im definately right about this one. And it has nothing to do with this "fanboyism" you so like to blame.
Now im definately right about this one.
Risen was god damn awful and Gothic 3 is only "playable" thanks to community patches ages after its release...
The story was boring, the combat clumsy and unresponsive and it looked like crap on top if it... That's good enough?
What was boring about the story? The combat clumsy and unresponsive? Worked well for me. Time to update either your senses and reaction time, or your machine. Looked like crap? In what manner?Why should I say more about my points?

Towns are nice, world map is cool, sneak archery is hilarious, the soundacting is funny(Skyrim is filled with swanzernegers), magic was fun to experiment with, crafting is cool, mods are awesome, the armors look nice, exploration is cool, some of the quests were quite awesome(like the I got drunk and married a buttugly Hagraven witch and my drinking buddy turned out to be a daedric prince who got me drunk so he could make fun of me), themesong is epic, some of the lore is rather engaging, combat is bad, but it aint that awful, dragonfights were quite cool(at the time and the first ones).
Risen is not a good game and you are alone in this. Either everyones wrong or you are right. Generally you are wrong. And whats with this fantrainthing again? Dont you really have any valid points yourself, beond that lame "fan" assumption?
Sweep the dust from my floor quest? Haha I almost forgot about that one. Nightmares favorite game everyone.
You really are like Xant, except you are just retarded. Theres literally no point in this. And whenever I let some of your retardoremarks slide, you consider it as if I lacked awnsers and gloat about it like you won the argument.... I could argue with u indefinately. Will I? Nah... I had my fun.
when you say that what other open world RPGs around 2011 are you comparing it to?Just to clarify: I was talking about Risen.
Two worlds 2? Risen? fable 3? dragon age 2? don't make me laugh.
seriously what open world rpg has better story, combat and graphics?
witcher 2 comes close it has good story and graphics, but is not an open world (it's bilinear) and remarkably has even worse combat.
Ok forgive me risen fans, for I have sinned. I haven't actually played it so shouldn't have slagged it off, but to be fair from footage ive seen I just assumed it was terrible. maybe i'll check it out, still doubt it will compare to TES.
Well, when one is talking about Gothic, one usually means Gothic I and II. Fuck fancy graphic when you got a huge open world filled with ruthless, deadly enemies whom will rape your sorry, white ass if you try to act hard, and noone will be there to hold your hand, telling you what to do, nothing is handed to you for free. Gothic I and II is those kind of games where you really feel like you've accomplished something when you beat em. And it got a sweet combat system.
It's weird, I didn't played it that long but Risen doesn't seem that terrible. It has nice actual open world elements in it.
One simply does not play Vanilla Skyrim(click to show/hide)
Get popular mods (at least for a better inventory (SkyUI) and stronger dragons. Maybe some environment upgrades for the eyecandy) and then play it
Main story isn´t that strong, but that´s not what people really cared about. They mostly cared about the open world and the sidequests. And Skyrim is all about sidequests.
And that´s a good thing. Run around, make your own story.
I started playing for the first time two days ago. My impression: awesome.
I really thought I would hate it. I quit Oblivion after 3 hrs of playing, never played Morrowind, I HATED Fallout 3 (not New Vegas though).
But I enjoy Skyrim immensly! Just like in almost all RPG-s I play, I play as mage and I love it! Especially dual casting! Building of skills is slow, and I don't want to search the Internet for loopholes and exploits, but I love every minute of it. I can't wait the evening and my next gaming session.
And yeah, I am not playing on PC, I am playing on PS3 lying on a couch like a boss.
Actually on another Morrowind replay right now, unmodded (except for widescreen and AA support).
This game is a work of art. And, as one has to agree with Michael Kirkbride; 'the finest novel written in videogame fiction, a 40 hour narrative whose main character is only ever referenced is almost Nabokovian in aspiration, and prophecies whose truth is determined only by the player is akin to Borges if he only had been born with a USB port in the back of his beloved neck'.

Just played skyrim...Did you enjoy it?
I totally did all of thatYep.(click to show/hide)
Yep.(click to show/hide)
And I never used that one.
I thought it was quite irritating that they were discussing the non-killable children already before release.
And it took merely hours for someone to come up with a workaround.
It is kinda sociopathic to put that much effort behind it right from the start :lol:
