Skyrim = Overhyped?

[KRbertsproduck5]

Well at least people stopped posting things like "So Im not looking forward to Skyrim"

 

[DRes82]

No, it isn't. Its everything that it was said to be and much, much more. /thread

What does burtalishly mean? (the squiggly red line is your friend.)

20 hours?

Don't get me wrong the first 2 yeah ..follow the leader. But once you are free out there and have listened to what all is going on around. Then you should make your own fun, hey I don't force you to like it nobody can do that. I mean I wouldn't enjoy MW3 or Battlefield 3, why? I don't do shooters.

I personally like Skyrim, yes it has small flaws but I am willing to overlook those as so much more does works. And really that every moment a dragon could swoop in to ruin your day or make it awesome.. now that is just great. I like also how different each play seems to be even between times reloading [dragon killed me] Pre-reload I did meet someone who wanted to join the greycloaks. A few minutes later a few mistakes made with a dragon and I was dead. So I follow the same path after a reload and I don't meet this person instead I see a lone Orc. Oh yes a lone old Orc who wants to die fighting. You hear that good just an orc somewhere that asks you if you want to fight it. So it can die a glorious death!

That is Skyrim there is a certain unpredictability there!

By the way want to talk about overhyped, MW3, seriously .. that is allot of hot air. Allot of advertising allot of parties thrown. You know I saw the UK launch live event on youtube. MOST BORING live show ever... wow.. I thought I saw richard gere. Allot of people I am supposed to know that obviously never have played a shooter.

I think Skyrim is crap. I loved Fallout 3, and this is more or less the same engine and play style, but this fantasy crap just ruins the game for me. However, this game has more fanboys than Call of Duty, and they are far more rabid. I hope you donned a flame-resistant suit prior to writing your post.

 

[Raijha]

Oh yes, because there were so many robberies and sales of over 1700 during the Skyrim release. I find your accusation and generalizations insulting! Insulting! /sarcsam

On topic. I can't really say too mucha bout Skyrim yet except its pretty and so far its fun, but I only got about 8 hours in before the weekend was taken up entirely by something.....else, yes, thats ambiguous enough.

Skyrim....

I dint like it... Dont get me worng i play it and found it decent but noffing special. Its overhyped in my opinon.

And before you sods out there start russing trypeing things like

''Dont juge the game before the 20 hour mark'' or somting like that its worth rembering that i can in 3 hours playing somting like Castlevaina OOC and enyoing my self vile i play skyrim for 3 hoursand found it lacking

Am i the only one who see that this game is burtalishly OverHyped?

Fans will always overhype "their" game.

Thing is, Skyrim is fundamentally a far better game than Oblivion. In Oblivion, I never really felt I wanted to explore things. Skyrim makes me want to explore the dungeons just to see what they have in store. The combat is improved enough to make it really enjoyable.

Some enemies may be easy to dispose of, but you always need to be on your toes, because you never know what comes next. When doing some dungeons I get an Indianna Jones vibe even. Solving dungeon puzzles is rewarding and fun.

Oblivion left me wanting to find and download a shitload of mods to make the game better.
Skyrim leaves me wanting to see what comes in the next Elder Scrolls game.

Opinions!
They're lovely, aren't they?

 

[Blind Sight]

Um...so you have a different opinion? Congratulations? Don't really see the discussion value here because it'll just turn into a flame war.

Haven't played Skyrim myself yet, I plan to do that after I finish Oblivion...which will probably be sometime next year. And I started in 2008. Not really the kind of game I can play for long periods of time I find.

 

[Yeager942]

I actually had really low expectations of Skyrim. I hated Oblivion and expected to hate Skyrim, but I found myself pleasantly surprised. It's not the greatest RPG ever, but I'm enjoying it.

 

[Shakomaru]

Yay! Thanks, dude! Hang on a minute. Ahem. Must get out of my proffesional tone. AMEH...!

I know, right? The only valid arguments against Skyrim I've come across are about the menu system and interface and whatnot. But we must be patient. We will learn to love it in time. It's like a new cat. It may claw your face open, but that's just means it loves you. Or hates you...Or....SHUT UP!

What I can't understand is how people can complain about the graphics. They look AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are the best graphics I've ever seen in a game.

Ok, so I know it makes sense to click reply, but that only means reply to the thread. Quote is the button you want to hit. Just saying this because you're getting a little confusing to follow here..

This game brought back a lot of memories of the time i lived with my grandparents on a farm in the mountains.


Right down to the dragons.


But you're not supposed to know that.

 

[b3nn3tt]

Wow, you really don't like correct spelling and grammar do you?

OT: I've not played Skyrim, but from the reviews I've seen it seems to be a pretty damn well-received game. By definition, it doesn't seem over-hyped. A game is over-hyped if there is a lot of build-up and expectation that is then not met by the end product (see Duke Nukem Forever), but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

 

[Knusper]

Fair enough not liking it and although I agree it was hyped so much by generating so much enthusiasm from a few trailers and very little released gameplay, I don't think it has let me down on any fronts - in fact it exceeded my high expectations.

So no, I don't think it was overhyped

I've removed this comment.

 

[Ham_authority95]

By the definition of "over-hyped", Skyrim isn't because the community isn't hating it. In fact, they're worshiping it.

I didn't like the game, but everyone else does, so it isn't over-hyped. Simple as that.

No, I loved it, and I think the attention it's getting is entirely deserved.

Also, lern 2 spel lyk wat I can doo.

It's okay if you want to throw a tantrum and get banned, it can be cathartic. But you're contradicting yourself every other sentence, and desperately trying to prove you don't care. If you really didn't care, would you continue to post long (albeit poorly thought out) rants? I doubt it.

The reason I'm calling you out is because you were horribly rude to the OP and using so many profanities in most of your sentences which is why I know the mods will find this and will punish you (Well deserved at this point)

Y'all are aware that if you think a post has contravened forum policy, the proper way to deal with it is to report and ignore, right? Not to keep winding the person up and taunting them with the possibility of their impending ban. Killer12480 was being a spaz, but you guys are just piling on to pile on at this point. Buncha bullies.

I don't think I was bullying, but I apologize if anyone felt that way.

Okay. It seems I did not type my last comment fast enough. I am trying to change the subject. I apologized, and added a friendly comment talking about the game, the reason we're all here. I am not overcompensating. I just get really mad when people say negative things about a game that I like. Maybe I was too mean. Oh well. We are all human. We do things we regret, then we forget about them. And I think we should all do the same.

It's fine, we all get pissed at the internet sometimes. Oh, and when you want to reply to someone you should use the quote button, because then they get a notification, and it's easier for them to reply as well.
