Yeah, and so do the mediocre graphics and horrible animations in normal conversations, and aggravating boss fights, and odd "choose your own adventure" ending.Ubermetalhed said:
... That being said, DE:HR is my favorite game of all time, I love the art style, think the boss fights are easy as long as you pack a couple frag mines and invest in the anti-electrocution aug, love the boss-fight conversations, and loved the endings. But enough people had those complaints that I highly doubt it will win any major GOTY awards.
More on topic, it's an Elder Scrolls game. No, fuck that- it's a Bethesda "open world" game. Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3... they all won GOTY. This won't be any different.
It'll be a travesty if it doesn't win something.ZeroMachine said:
And I agree, boss fights are straight forward, the art style and atmosphere are great and the endings, well if you've played the original Deus Ex the exact same thing happens in that. Plus it didn't have the 3 different choices it would have got alot more flak.
Except Skyrim hasn't been hyped for a decade, and that Bethesda has actually made 4 great RPGs in less time than in took to release Duke Nukem Forever. I, for one am glad that there is an animation for walking diagonally this time around. If Skyrim is anything like Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, (and judging from the 30 minutes demo it will surpass them) it's a preorder for me. Also, what the OT mean by the duel-wield system is that you can pick and choose any one handed weapon, shield or spell and use them together. Finally I can be a Mage that holds a shield at the same time. Robes are for suckers. Who ever thought they were good protection? Also, being able to change weapon like in Fallout without being completely blinded by the pip-boy sounds great. I like games with an active pause system like that. The sleek, transparent menus look gorgeous.harvz said:
I didn't like oblivion. So ten times better is still 'I don't give a fuck' levels.
And only CoD fans invent a name like fucking 'Battlefags'. You're not ten fucking years old, dude.DragonLord Seth said:
I am looking forward to it, but I was watching the long latest demo with a friend, and we were going through parts of it that could be negative and annoying based on what we were seeing.
Oblivion had very chunky combat, swing swing combat, I'm not sure they will get it, or allowing real customisation right. So skills go up with usage, so a character can become good at everything with just a little effort? Could be deus ex, all characters become the same by the end syndrome.
It is going to be hard for it to compete with shogun 2, and be far better for me.

Meh, I know it'll be a good game, but then again, it's competing with Batman.
Do we really need to argue the merits of a man who dresses in a gimp suit?

I've seen it happen it was really cool. I am looking forward to Skyrim and hope it is good.No_Remainders said:

Also despite me being a huge fan of Elder Scrolls games I'm calling Space Marine my game of the year.

I don't need to explain why I dislike your reasons, as everyone else has, but here's my top five anywho.
1. Deus Ex: Human Revolution
2. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
3. Assassin's Creed Revelations
4. Battlefield 3
5. TF2 (For the third year in a row....)
That list however, is listed by QUALITY not HYPE. I've seen a lot of videos on Skyrim, but what I've seen most of is either environments, quick montages of gameplay, or Todd Howard (I think?) talking about it, especially when he mentioned that the consoles were the lead platform. I believe our PC overlords may be a bit disappointed.

I have only one plan when the game is released.Cridhe said:
"Play the game and never look at another article about it ever."
Because once it is out you can bet there will be endless vitriol about it. Dozens of people thinking they are edgy or clever by pointing out that the game has flaws, like any other thing ever.
"But don't you guys remember the good old days when games had no flaws." They'll close the posts with. To which anyone who doesn't have a Big Fish imagination will say "No, because that era never existed."
Anywho, It'll be overhyped before release, bashed after, just like all other major titles. I'm just planning to buy it and enjoy it.
I think I'll buy SR3 before I buy Skyrim. It just seems like a more fun game to me and I'm more hyped about it. I do think Skyrim will be good, but I found SR2 to be a more fun game than Oblivion.
I think my brain hurts at that statement. Your point was BF 3 will be more fun than MW 3. This doesn't prove your point. Really as much as like BF games you really did bring in the flame war yourself by going out of your way to slag CoD. It was quite unnecessary. Just as unnecessary as the battlefag comment mind you.Frostbite3789 said:
