Skyrim is the most overrated RPG ever made.....

[QUOTE="15strong"]

Why do we need replay value in a game that can take hundreds of hours to fully complete?

ChubbyGuy40

You don't. Once you complete Skyrim, there is no reason to go back and play through it all again. It'll only lower your satisfaction with the game.

Why would I want to. If I've already sunk 100 hours into it, I want to move on to another game. The game is so massive to say that it doesn't offer good replay value is a little silly.

Oh boy here we go

Hey everybody Halo and (the game you just **** about) ME now have deep stories and characters and world because someone wrote books about them, and there are multiple games in the series.

There was one major game changing decision, which you could just load back to the save and play through the other way. Beyond that the choices were about as meaningful as they were to the ME ending, with the difference being you didn't have to kill off the one single interesting and mysterious character in the entire game at the end. The boss battles involved quicktime events, and just like the first game they had to release an updated edition that filled in a bunch of content that should have been there in the first place, I mean I guess it's a lot better than it would be if it wasn't free.

You're right the combat is incredible what was I thinking, you've got your 4 spells, your people sword, and your monster sword! Wow TES can't hold a candle to that!

I love it when hermits get butthurt when the games they overhype are actually pretty average.:roll:

You're an idiot. The Witcher games were spinoffs from the books. I won't even bother refuting the rest of your post because of how stupid you are.

haters and hipsters gonna hate the popular games.

same thing happened with GTA IV.

The problem is that the gameplay itself is so shallow and has no depth. It doesn't venture outside basic mechanics. That's why other single-player games have replay value while Skyrim has none of it.

The only replay value I can see lies in the skill tree, which is pretty poor.

20 years from now a lot more people will remember TES than TW, because it's the better game.

More like you can always identify the snobs by how they hold their opinions above all others as gospel fact :roll:

Why am I not surprised to see somebody saying something regarding how bad my post is for not being politically correct.

I guess the difference between Tolkien and Meyer in books or Tchaikovsky and Tokyo Hotel in music is just a matter of opinion too, right?

Of course it is. While Tolkein is regarded as a literary legend, some find his books boring. And as with the music examples, it's entirely subjective.

Doubt that. Both will be remembered.

[QUOTE="BigDaddyPOLO"]And I guess that evil Bethesda paid off all the reviewers so those don't matter either.

TW2 got an 88 or w\e and it had a lot of bugs. The reason it got an 88 was because of bugs.

the only game that people will probably remember in 20 years is COD, because its pure quality ofc :roll:

Skyrim is a single player MMO.

1. quests are unrelated
2. your actions don't impact the world
3. NPCs have no background; they're just there
4. dungeons are all the same

fun for a while, once you get board adn start playing something else, that's it for skyrim

[QUOTE="groverslanding"]

Really bad for PS3 owners. Amazing game for everyone else.

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]

It's overrated sure, but so is EVERY OTHER game out there. I have never played a game that changed my life. However if you step back and see Skyrim for what it is, it's really one of the best games ever made.

It has a ton of content and replay value that no other game can match, customization that let's you play how you want, and countless hours of exploration. Is it the best game ever made? Probably not. However if you look at what your getting, it's an excellent package that is well worth your $60

Though that being said, as far as developers go I have to admit that I find Bethesda to be very untalanted. Go play Uncharted and then go play Skyrim and you'll notice how bad the mechanics in Skyrim are, however Skyrim makes up for this with it's world and atmosphere and content.

ChubbyGuy40

More content doesn't automatically make it better. Skyrim has so much (repeated) that it does more bad than good. Also it doesn't have much replay value, as nothing changes from playing another class except for what weapon and armor you're gonna wear. Oh, and what you do with your skill points, but they become utterly useless before half the game is done and because there's no difficulty.

There are so many games with so much more replay value, that it's insulting to compare them.

New Vegas is garbage and I saw your agenda as soon as you mentioned it.

Pray_to_me

Not every publisher can afford to grease the wheels. Anyway you slice it, a lot of Skyrim's shortcomings were overlooked when most games do not.

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"]

But still is just another dungeon hack and slash, the series was more inventive before but it will not establsih or innovate anything now.

They didn;t gove Uncharted 3 too many gOTY awards. Perhaps its more of the same.

Guild Wars 2 has no chance, sorry.

Just because DOTA 2 is popular doesn't mean it'll win.

Or the fact that CS GO is just an update

And you forget why ME3 may win, because its a very emotional game with very strong characters, nevermind the effect of ending a series. And from some of these same reasons, ACIII has a big chance as well, more than almost anyone else. its the end of a series too.

ChubbyGuy40

Please continue to try and talk it down. Not just another hack and slash. This isn't Dungeon Siege 3.

Because TLoU is Uncharted 4, correct?

Has the best chance of any RPG this year since GS doesn't appear to enjoy WoW anymore. Wanna tell us how it's just another MMO now?

Not just popular, but leagues better than the other F2P MOBA games and it's still just in beta.

No, seriously, shut the hell up and quit talking.

Very dull game, no life in it's characters, one of the worst endings in recent years, choices don't matter, previous saves don't matter. Combat is terrible and so is the multiplayer.

~ooh morally ambiguous decisions~

*kills person or decides to not kill person*

Deep characters and combat

*main character and love interest is piece of cardboard and combat involves casting quen and then rolling around a bunch*

[QUOTE="texasgoldrush"] and its not GOTY material....sorrytexasgoldrush

No, the extended cut will make it a contender again if it isn't already, just like TW2's Enhancement makes it a contender.texasgoldrush

DLC doesn't get included when counting GOTY. TW2 was released last year, so it will not be counted this year.

it does if its free and ifxes one of the few flaws in the game...making it like a patch. TW2 won't be counted but ME3 will.texasgoldrush

They didn't recognize the 2.0 patch, so the EE patch won't.

It won't. Not with the likes of Max Payne 3, Diablo III, Heart of the Swarm, etc being released this year. DarkLink77

Heart of the Swarm might be pushed back to 2013. :(
