Poll: Why is it only on 4chan that I ever see anyone call Skyrim outright shit.

[Guilherme Zoldan]

Okay, I loved skyrim. Honestly would have considered it my game of the year but Dark Souls exists.
But I find some rather strange trend on the internet, everywhere people praise it but on 4Chan, and other related chans, its considered casual shit.
Does anyone have a theory on why? Also what did you think of the game.

Edit: Accidentaly made this a poll, please ignore that.

Because the search function on the escapist is to hard to use?

Also because its not abolute shit..... "Street Cleaning Simulator" that is absolute shit. Because its unplayable. Skyrim is not.

And to answer your question, people on for chan are all polorized groups. And if you dont know what that means.... well then to bad for you.

You see it other places as well. Even on this site, you'll see people bashing the game almost as much as people praising it. It happens with a lot of popular games: since it spends so much time under general scrutiny, its flaws become more noticeable, particularly for people who disliked the game in the first place.

The reason you're seeing so much of it on 4chan is that 4chan hates absolutely everything that is not chocolate milk.

It takes 2 posts in for someone to say that then everyone who actually has an opinion not to like it gets called a hipster.

No no no. They also like cats.

I think a major thing is the anonymity of 4chan. Who cares if you get flamed? There's no repercussions and it's pretty hard to get banned without actually trying to. Not to mention it seems half the point of half the boards is just to insult everyone's opinions...and post pictures of cats.

 

[Guilherme Zoldan]

I actualy went ahead and made a chocolate milk thread. There were plenty of haters actualy. And racism...

 

[hazabaza1]

Did you not see the "Holy shit, Skyrim" thread? Honestly, it's like all the hipsters in the universe went on there and decided to spam 'Skoiram es shite'.

 

[Jandau]

Because 4chan is a pile of trolls?

 

[Hal10k]

And racism...

That's like going to the Pacific and being surprised at all of the water.

Becase it's not absolute ****. No matter what your opinion on the game, it is completely wrong to call it absolute ****. You could hate it, it could be the most dreadful game you have ever played but due to the amount of working content, hell even just the lore from it all you can not call it absolute ****.

You can say you thought the story was absolute **** or that the combat was, however you cannot accuse the overall game of it since there is so much stuff in there that most people enjoy.

Please don't think I mean that anyone who doesn't like it is wrong. I don't think that, I do however think that the people who hate on it way too much either got taken in by all the hype or are just overeacting because it did admittedly get stupid positive reviews that ignored all flaws as well as the huge amount of forum threads it got that praised it as perfect. -_-

Because it's fuckin 4chan. What did you expect? They hate everything.

 

[The Wykydtron]

Because it's 4chan... Do you need anymore explaination? 4chan is the site you occasionally visit just to get some cheap lols. They hate everything.

Anyway Skyrim wasn't that bad, I just dropped it because I kept getting the overwhelming feeling that my actions were hollow and inconsequential as fuck.

And the quests just weren't as good as the ones in Oblivion. Points gained for the Arnie guards though.

 

[Guilherme Zoldan]

The first words I said in my post were "I love Skyrim". I dont think anyone read anything but the title XD

Honestly I thought skyrim was mindblowingly awesome when I first started playing it. Looking back on it after the hype is past its not game of the year great. I get the feeling many reviewers were reacting the same way.

I wouldn't know about skyrim's critics but it's supporters can and will insult you relentlessly for not agreeing with them. I think it's a mediocre game that at best deserves a 6.5/10. Strangely, I found Fallout and Oblivion to be very entertaining. You're much better off with Dark Souls. Now, that game was, to me, much more entertaining than skyrim could ever hope to be.
