First Skyrim review

[Torrasque]

on the score is says the developer is id software. Hmmm what level of nerd rage should i go into i mean a profetional magizine should know the devoloper was betheda's in house dev betheda game studio.grrrrrrrrrrr.

Yea I know, that right there kinda put the whole review credibility for me in question but from the sounds of things, he's an outsider to the Elder Scrolls series.

So what? There's no excuse for that. He couldn't spend 3 second on the wikipedia page to see who developed it, let alone make a goole search? Very profesional reviewing

"Hey, who developed Pokemon? Hmmm... I think it was Capcom"
Thats what I was thinking when they fucked this up.
I don't even care what the rest of the review is, for them to fuck that up means two things to me:
1. They don't know anything about the game.
2. I am fucking jealous that they got to play it and review it, when I could have done both better =(

werewolf's are real in skyrim and maybe we can become one too?

Your character can be a werewolf in skyrim. Same goes for vampires.

Inb4 obligatory Twilight memes occur.

I disliked oblivion but if this is like fallout new vegas then im sold

Does anyone know if you can have kids? You can get married, and the game features children, but no word on whether you can have some of your own.

Anyway, cool. Gonna get it regardless, but it's good to see positive reviews ahead of time.

Any info on wether or not it is possibly to have multiple wives/husbands?
And are the guards still an omniscient hivemind?

Even though I disliked Oblivion but liked New Vegas, I still need to wait. Reviews that get released this early pre-release are controlled. Bethesda gets to see the review before it is printed and decides whether or not it can be released thus compromising the integrity of any reviews pre-release. I will wait for post-release reviews as at that point it is fair game, anyone with 60 bucks and a desire to post something to the net can and will be reviewing it, honestly. I see reviews like this more like a huge advertisement for Bethesda than an actual review.

Will still wait a week for potential bug fixing on PC.

Is sounding good though.

 

[AyreonMaiden]

Oh really, levelheadedness? Here I was thinking "9.5...!!! High enough to make sense for a AAA game but shy of perfection by just the right amount to send the fanboys into a rage after all the hype..."

I'm disappoint. The maggots need to come out of the woodwork sometime.

anyway, if a person who didnt like the last TES games gave skyrim a 9.5 out of 10, then we all know what we're in for, my friends.

People who didn't like the first Dragon Age liked Dragon Age 2. People who didn't like the original Xcom games like XCOM the fps.

Your point being? Either way, Skyrim will be awesome.

 

[Mikeyfell]

alright.
Name 3 (Anticipated) games that didn't get scored in the 90's

Good review scores are a little toxic now days,
Still I'm buying Skyrim and no review will sway me on the matter.

No idea on the polygamy front, but knowledge of your crimes will not travel. Stab a dude and run to the next town, and they won't know about it. They might find out eventually, but it won't be immediate.

And apparently they put a lot of work into the crime system this time.

And you're taking this from (a) A person who doesn't like the last two elder scrolls liking this and (b) the hype, bot things Dragon Age 2 had.

And also from my experience with Oblivion, obviously -.-

 

[Krantos]

Honestly, this review is disappointing. Everything in it could have been gleaned from the Previews.

It got posted on another site I go to (much smaller community), and the general consensus was the reviewer didn't actually finish the game. Most likely they just wanted to be the first ones to post a review.

I lumped that under the hype.

Dude, should I make a fucking Venn diagram for you or something?
Anyway, if I LOVED the previous game and so far I'm HYPED because of the footage that I saw of it and somebody who HATED the previous game LOVED Skyrim, that probably means Skyrim is gonna be EPIC. I still don't get your point. Are you trying to say Skyrim ISN'T gonna be good or something? I understand the usual cynicism of every other person on the internet, but it's SKYRIM we're dealing with here. FFS it's gonna be EPIC, now leave me alone.

Well, maybe the bugginess of rage made the reviewer get confused, thinking only Beth could pull off such a thing? =D

OT: Coming from a guy that really didnt think much of oblivion either, that seems promising. But...heh...there are so many other titles coming...I'll probably be nose-deep in batman at that time...mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm batman..........

Good find and solid review! I'm actually getting psyched for Skyrim again

The only soul crushingly bad part of this review was the point that you have to sell your loot at specific vendors. This sounds like a horrendous idea on paper. I really don't want to have to walk around for 10 minutes in a city just to unload goods and go back to having fun.

I think they're experimenting with a touch more realism this time around. I always found it a little disturbing that the little old lady selling bread would buy 15 battleaxes off me...
