How good is Skyrim?

[LiftHeavy85]

Just bought it on ps3 (legendary edition) got all the DLC and just installed. Havent played yet, should I just put it on the hardest mode and get plowed?

[ace_gauntlit]

pretty cool the first 20-30hrs, then it just gets repetitive and boring.

kill this dragon, kill that one. Brings this to XYZ, kill the bandit leader here and over there. yawn...

sounds like normal rpg

[trevatandy]

I thought the game was awesome! I have been watching some mod reviews on youtube and regret not getting the PC version because they seem to make the game way better. But my experience from the 360 version (should be similar to ps3) that the world was vast and tons of stuff to do off the main quest.

[Cannonsex]

I would have stopped playing after 10 hours if it wasn't for the mods.

[Vagitarian]

If you're a casual gamer and don't really have any standards it will be fun.

But if you're used to playing quality games, you're gunna be disappoint.

lol maybe... i dunno

it does set itself apart somehow.

[tdnick]

I played it for about 30 hours and sold it. Completed all the quests I wanted to and then it got old

[Vasarnap]

Last game I bought: GTA IV
Next game I'm going to buy: GTA V

you get the unique ones too?

[BrahPlease]

Lots of fun brah.

[FinalCountdown]

was about to say get ready for endless fun and then I saw PS3

prepare for boredom after finishing the main questlines

you should still get at least 50-100hrs of entertainment out of it though on the base game. definitely worth its price, one of the few games these days that truly is worth its price

[MBipson]

its fukkin awesome OP, brb 100 hours played on normal game and still have not seen certain enemy types, or near completing all quests, or played any of the DLC

think about it this way: they had this fukking awesome game with tons of content and then added dragons and chit, srs, 10/10 game, one of the best ever,

plus some quests are radiant meaning they can be done over and over again with varying objectives, brb unlimited gameplay

Have fun man... amazing game. I put over 300 hours on my PS3 version. Mostly play modded on PC now.

[KilaByte]

Some people like it, some say it's boring, personal preference I guess.

When it first came out I put hundreds of hours into it.

[HarpoonBrah]

It took me 100 hours to finish every quest line including DLC and all the good side missions

Got old after a while , god awful frame rat & those loading times are beyond ridiculous. Still a solid game though but the next one Better not have these loading times. They could've made the map 4x smaller since a lot of it was just empty and Dungeons got old very quick.

I used the glitch ( patched now ) that let me max out my characters which is made it much more fun, I hope they purposely include one in the next one.

[Fitzstifler]

Just be careful not to explore every inch of the map. You might forget to shower for a week. Take a casual approach, use Internet to find out best weapons etc. I put in like 40 hours and talked about it with work buddies so it was a good run

[LtDan89]

I loved it. In fact I just finished my second playthrough. Skyrim is such a beautiful world, there's so many things to explore and do.

you on that Ogma Infinium time brah?

[Globiddle]

I'm probably the minority, but I couldn't get into it at all.

[dankydank]

if you dont like story and good combat in a game then Skyrim is the game for you
PS fanboy here but I wouldn't get it on consoles
its a game thats meant to be played for its graphics (lol) and modding so you can actually make it an enjoyable game

if your a fan of true RPGs then PS has a better selection of games to choose from

[parker171]

Top 5 game of all-time for me in the modern ERA.

[Kalmah6661]

Amazing game, OP. The fantastic music and exploring are my favorite things about the game.

People who didn't like it must play too much Call of Duty.

[bobbystustu]

I couldn't get into it... and I really tried.

Yeah you've got that backwards.

Skyrim was made for the same target audience that likes CoD.

Look at some of the games that precede the garbage titles of both franchises.

CoD Franchise: CoD1, CoD2, MW1 ---> games become developed for console and console audiences ---> dumbed down/casualized titles that are worse than their predecessors: MW2, BLOPS, MW3, BLOPS2, MW4
TES Franchise: Morrowind ---> games become developed for console and console audiences ---> dumbed down/casualized titles that are worse than their predecessors: Oblivion, Skyrim

The games that were developed with PC platform and audiences in mind absolutely CHIT on the console "successor" titles.

Everything you said was pure speculation.

Are you saying that you didn't like Morrowind and Oblivion? Because both of those games were amazing, too.

None of it was speculation. It's all backed up by facts and statements from the developers themselves.

The games before the arrows are the good ones. Morrowind was GOAT, Oblivion was garbage in comparison, and every (before Oblivion) TES fan was let down by it.

[LS Series]

It's alright starts kinda slow. Control mapping is weird to me because I'm used to playing these types of games on pc. It's fun though-freaking huge!

Your expectations for Oblivion were ridiculously high, then. I thought it was a fantastic game, as was Morrowind.

I think you're stuck in the past, brah. Unwilling to move on.

Oblivion and Skyrim are equally as good as Morrowind, and I've put over 100 hours into each of them.
