>TFW Skyrim got GOTY over Human Revolution

I liked Skyrim. My only problem is I spammed it out for a couple months while my Internet was down so I finished everything. Ironically, I find the game more fun at the lower levels.

I remember The Flood hype threads for Skyrim...it reached the largest crowd, that's why it won.

Most games are fun until you become a god in them. I play most games on hard difficulty ("Heroic" in Halo terms), but aRPGs typically interpret "hard" as "enemies have more health". That doesn't make the game more challenging, it just makes it take longer.

Thankfully there are mods out there that make Skyrim a much more challenging experience (like one mod that makes an arrow to your head an insta-death). Still, it doesn't make up for the fact that Skyrim can be very shallow.

OT: I like both games equally. I've put a lot more hours into Skyrim (naturally), but I feel both games were worth the $60.

But yeah, pretty sure you need brain cancer to like Shitrim

I feel one of my biggest faults in Skyrim was having it on console. I still don't understand why they didn't implement a hardcore mode like in New Vegas.

Because that would give it a semblance of depth.

Not aaaaall of them, but pretty much all of the ones that matter.

If the civil war mod actually worked and I could actually decide on a set of mods to stick to rather than flitting between them as they take my fancy I'd probably be drawn to it a lot more.

Vegas is great though, the AWN overhaul mod is just perfect for it. It hasn't been since tekkit that I've never felt the need to change up my mods <_<

When the devs need the community to fix their game, and it's viewed as okay, we have a serious problem.

Skyrim is perhaps the most overrated game I have ever played. It's not that good. One of the most shallow role-playing games I've ever played.

Get the right mods and it drastically changes that feeling.

I don't mind Skyrim but Waaaaat

Mat Cauthon · November 14, 2014, 03:28:12 AM

Skyrim is clearly superior to that boring game.

Douche Ecks doesn't even have character creation.
How shallow is that!?

Yeah, but that's no excuse for releasing a bare-bones RPG.

Why would you want to be your own character when you can be Adam Jensen?
