I really, really hate it when people go into orgasm over Skyrim. They seem to be forgetting just how awful the Elder Scrolls has been up till now. Morrowind was the best, as it was unique. Oblivion was just a generic trot through miles of copy-pasted English countryside broken up by scaled enemies and conversations with horrifying, dead-eyed NPC's that looked as if the head animator had discovered a tome on necromancy in his basement and decided to save himself a lot of pay checks. For some inane reason or other, Oblivion still made heaps of money. So Bethesda, that wallowing turd of a games company, has no reason to break free of the mould that gets them so much free gamer pussy.
i dont know why everyone is so pumped for this its not that amazing but i will get it and happily enjoy it
I take it you're a BF3 fan then?Andy of Comix Inc said:
In all seriousness though MW3 is looking way more entertaining then BF3.
OT: Again with the Hype?
Here's the realistic look at those points. well a cynical one at that.
The Side-Quests Are Better - Just because the side quests are Improved does not mean it'll increase the games quality.
Dual-Wielding - Who gives a crap? Everyone jumped through hoops when Halo 2 did dual wielding, it's not something that revolutionises gaming every time.
The Graphics Are Amazing - Absolutely stupid, Graphics are good all in all but just because a game looks pretty, doesn't mean it's going to deliver good fun eg. Final Fantasy XIII
A World Living Around You - and that makes it different from previous Elder Scroll and Fallout games?
A Story Not Etched in Stone - See above
F-king Dragons - one valid point i suppose.
Seems to me that GOTY has become an "old game plus DLC" re-release. Which is fine. But i do wish that the GOTY came with all those mods that make the game awesome on pc.
Im gonna kill so many dragons that i could build a house from their bones. Maybe some one will make a mod so i can do that?

I've never liked the Elder Scrolls combat system. "Swing your sword back and forth till the enemy dies" is not fun. I could do magic, sure, but I've always been a melee guy. Unless Skyrim has a MUCH improved combat system, I don't care if it's Game of the Year or Game of the Century, I'm not buying it.
so many games claim this but i am yet to see it play out in the game.godofwarishere said:
i just hope that skyrim doesnt have the retarded leveling/enemies scale with you system like in oblivion.
i like to feel powerful but i cant do that if every highway man end up in the best armour.
It's a Bethesda game.kickassfrog said:
The story will be subpar at best. It will be buggy as hell. The release will actually be the beta test.
I mean, you know what you're getting with Bethesda.
How do they alone make a game worthy of GOTY. Sadface is sad.godofwarishere said:5 Facts http://www.pagesportal.net/contents/wp/?p=105#comment-77

Skyrim looks 10 times better than Oblivion can't wait
Yes, I'm not a fan of Elder Scrolls. Yes, it was killed by Oblivion, well and truly. I don't get a game with so much pretension has so many nerds up in arms flailing crazy-like. *sigh*
What the hell did any of that have to do with BF3? Way to try to start a flame war. High five!42 said:
Those are good reasons. But you forgot the other ten thousand. Since it may be considered a low content post after just those two sentences, I'm going to add on this completely random one as well.
This is more five improvements on Oblivion rather than five/six reasons it will be Game of the Year...
I agree with most people though, as excited about it as I am, it is severely overhyped. It's annoying that every time I go into Gaming Discussion I see another ten topics about why Skyrim will be awesome.

Even with all its flaws, the TES world is probably the best RPG franchise active in the moment. Yes, even better than ME and Star Wars. I said it.
It's difficult to fully explain why. Part of it is that if you are a veteran of the series, you kinda know what to expect when you play the game, but there's always some regional twists that enhance the experience.
We'll all read, for the fifth time, "Mysterious Akavir" and "The Life of Barenziah" on the bookshelves, but there will be some local books and lore to add up. This is so crucial to the whole feel of the game that helps us overlook some of its flaws. We know there will be glass armor and daedric weapons. But we still want to know exactly how they'll look like. Continuity is a GOOD thing in RPGs, and this is one of the reasons so many of us played AD&D and D&D games in the past. We know the drill, but not the details.
Also, there's the fact that it is not an Asian aesthetic. No shoulder pads big enough to build a small house upon. No sword three times as tall as the tallest character. No gender-confused villain who keeps smugly smiling at us during cutscenes. I mean, JRPG is ok in itself, but it is so exhausted right now due to crappy games that having a high fantasy game that's not D&D is excellent. The TES aesthetic experience is unique and this is a good thing.
I also dislike the usual overhype around games. I also think that we should all reserve our judgement until the game is in our hands. But what really hypes me is being able to return to that world, flawed and quirky as it may be. It is the best fantasy world to be at the moment.
