Vindekarr Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) I'd like to get some more balanced opinions on Skyrim. It's been widely raved about by critics, and while nobody listens to them anymore, it's got the highest aggregate score I've ever seen on STEAM. I personaly really love it, I find it addictive the way I found FNV, immersive like I found Oblivion, and OMGHUGE like EVE. TBH I really love it, it's probably the best all-round game I've played in many a year, and I look forward to the dawn of the age of Skyrim mods, because frankly, I think that's gonna rock. However, I've seen an overpoweringly negative reaction on the Nexus-the vast majority of posts I've seen on the Skyrim forum in review of Skyrim are complaints, or rants, or nonsensical gibbering about how people can't understand why the game's so easy with TGM turned on. Do you guys... actualy hate Skyrim or is it just a very vocal minority? I really am curious. Edited December 2, 2011 by Vindekarr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrius2 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It's an awesome game. Of course the forum is full of negative feedback... the majority of the people loving the game are too busy playing it to post about it ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperTheLich Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 when it was working i loved it (i think i'm an addict as well). the glitches did annoy me quite a bit, however i could live with it when it was playable.after the 1.2 patch i feel like an addict who is tied to a chair with his fix on a table a few feet away. so right now i hate it quite a bit.so i don't really know how to answer that.

OnlyOneWing Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Agreed completely with OP... Except I will be taking a break from Skyrim once Starwars: The Old Republic is released late december. The game is off to a rough start stability-wise... giving up on a good thing over a few bumps in the road is dumb... Would you break up with a hot and interesting girl because she has the flu, and temporaty amnesia? Edited December 2, 2011 by OnlyOneWing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyAubrie Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 For me, it's not Skyrim I'm disappointed with. When it came out, I thought it was awkward and glitchy compared to FNV and Oblivion, but ingenious players have come up with little tweaks to get around the game's flaws. It *is* a fun game, with a lot of open-ended content, possibilities, and brilliant new ideas. If I ever gripe, it's about the direction Bethesda is going in, about Steam, and about being told how to use something I paid for. That really gets under my skin.

The game is great, sure it has some flaws but modders are here to fix that. What bothers me is that steam and bethesda are telling me how to use something I bought and paid with MY money.

ginnyfizz Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 It is a very good game ruined by spectacularly incompetent patching and planning. Elementary howlers like making it impossible for people with 64 bit Win7 (rather a lot of us)and more than 2Gb RAM (I would suspect maybe a large majority of us)to run without a third party programme - since 1.1 they kindly stopped us from using CFF Explorer to solve it ourselves. Would it have been so very difficult to make it run on both 32 bit and 64 bit systems? I think not, I see all sorts of programs have both types of exe. Bethesda then release the awful 1.2 patch which not only doesn't address important existing issues but breaks a few more really important things. I offlined Steam as soon as I saw the problems that PS3 users were having. I don't remember Morrowind, Oblivion, FO3 or FONV having bugs quite as serious as some of the Skyrim ones are. To cap it all, we now have the CK going to be tied to Steam and the implications of how much we are going to lose control of our mods are muddy to say the least. I want to love this game, I love the atmosphere and the looks of the thing in general, am getting surprisingly engrossed with the Thieves Guild for some reason, and I have had some epic rumbles with dragons. But all the above make it really hard for me to feel that the rave reviews that this game is getting are justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasperTheLich Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 if bethesda is going down the road i think they are; it's more than a case of the flu and temporaty amnesia. more like a psychotic break + sociopathic tendencies. no matter how hot she is or interesting she may be. not worth the risk no matter how much fun she might be. unless i'm wrong. god, do i hope i'm wrong here.

HarkinTourbolt Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Loved this game up to 1.2 patch. Agree with Ginnyfizz's comments. If the modders have restrictions placed upon them due to CK being tied in the steam - then this would big a major steps backwards, and one that will change the way modding is carried out in future on any game - not only Skyrim.
