Some of you all really need to worry less about what other people enjoy. Yeah I see the usual comments line why bother trying to convince others. Why is there ant need to convince others? Why do some gamers treat this crap like proselytizing some religion?
I also think some people have an inability to just shut off their criticism and have some damn fun.
I agree Skyrim had issues and flaws. Most games do. I was pissed at how flawed it was on PS3 origonally and how long I had to wait for patches just to ginish my game. But it'salso still got tons of great varying gameplay. It's a great sandbox. There's lots of good dungeons and quests.
People also love Witcher and that game is garbage to me. Slow, boring gameplay. I don't get the appeal, but you do you. Some people now think Cyberpunk is the greatest RPG ever, yet it was pure garbage at release.
This thread is weird. So much weird hate for something specific.
Just tuuuurn ya braaaaain offfff
I'm pretty good at brain-off, better at it with books since you have to interact with games but yknow. Just won't do it for Skyrim because it's a weak attempt to defend the game =)
I would like to know about any of this, Idk. The combat all sucks, the overworld map is very samey, the dungeons in particular have been reduced to straight lines even compared to Oblivion. The Witcher and Cyberpunk are both junk I don't play though, lol. I suspect a similar thing will happen for Witcher someday.
Elder Scrolls used to be really good, I was excited for Skyrim but it made clear that Bethesda was on a downward spiral. It ruins almost every single good thing about Oblivion, a game which itself was troubles.
The main reason I am "worried about what other people enjoy" (translation: observing people's views) is because I noticed a funny lil change. It used to be unheard of to get Skyrim negativity, only Examined Life of G*ming had done it on sloptube to my knowledge, and people were soooo mad.
I think when a game gets unending universal praise, the way Skyrim or Ocarina of Time or something does, people are gonna come back and look for faults eventually. Some games hold up, like not many people really do "Ocarina bad", and some are Skyrim lol.
