Buying Skyrim has made me feel really guilty and sad

[Brawndo]

Don't feel guilty OP, think of it as the gaming industry as a whole making amends for the slew of shooters with 5-hour campaigns and rehashed multiplayer

I would have easily payed collectors edition prices for the game itself. It has become my second home and I don't have plans to leave for a looooooooooooooooooooong time.

Being a D&D nut with no local players, this helps me vent my adventurer bug perfectly.

Maybe Bethesda will start charging a tax for their games (think Square-Enix tax), an extra $5 or $10 just for people like you.

At first I was really really enjoying skyrim, I've put over 40 hours into this game so far, but the more I played it the more I realized...

This game is worth way more than the $60 I payed for...

I feel as if I cheated someone... like buying a real Rolex for few hundred bucks

...

=(

Maybe they can recoup the price with some expensive DLC. Like £20/$40 for horse armour packs alone.

Blimey, I've still got a copy of 'SuperMetroid3' for the Super Nintendo with the same price tag as Skyrim on the box, that games gotta be about 15+ years old by now.

Ever heard of inflation/deflation?

Yeah - your point?

I just wanted to say, I noticed you saying this earlier as well. And I just feel that you can't judge games in this way. You've always got to give a little leaniency when it comes down to the technological envoriment in which a game and, to a greater degree, all things are made. I mean, the wheel and fire have done most for the human race ever, but they look so simple today.
All I'm saying is that in 10 years time when we're playing virtual reality Super Metroid with wires coming out of our necks, Skyrim won't look so impressive anymore. And hey, you never know; maybe Super Metroid 3 was what inspired some of the developers for Skyrim to become game designers in the first place.

I absolutely agree.

It seems that I worded my comment poorly.

I loved Super Metroid 3. I played it just a few too many times. My son and I had a competition to see who could get through it in under 3 hours, the best we could shave it to was 3 hours 10 minutes ... (the incentive being, apparently the female character dropped her spacesuit if you finished it in under 3 hours!).

I thought it worth every dollar of the $99.00 price tag when I bought it. I've always considered it interesting though how much games have essentially become cheaper (if you consider cost of living today vs a point in history), without taking how much more complex the game data is now.

Certainly wasn't criticizing SM3 mate.

Thanks for the comment.

Oh, I wasn't criticizing you or anything. I was just saying.
Nice story about you and your son though. There's nothing quite like bonding over a mutual desire to get a woman out of her clothes.

I must say that I feel the complete opposite. It feels worth MUCH MUCH less than what I paid for it.
