Whilst Skyrim is still new and many gamers sinking the hours in, it's a harsh reality for any developer to get people to finish the games they have laboured over for years.
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
The developers of Lordbound increased the scope as they became more familiar with the Creation Kit and got inspired by the original Skyrim.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.
I'm one of those people, the game has too much crap to get sidetracked on and then I get burnt out on the boring caves and underground dungeons.
More than half of Skyrim's players won't finish the game... and I'm not surprised. As big as Skyrim is, I have to wonder if that's a blessing in disguise or just an outright hindrance.
After having played Oblivion and sinking hours over months into that game, I know Skyrim is going to be huge, and addictive, thus meaning it cuts into such little time that's otherwise available for other games. On the plus side, a game like Skyrim is great for this reason, as frankly there's no need to buy another game for several months upto a year!
Just blame the new gen of gamers with short attention spans that play shooters all day long that have 2 hour campaigns.
well, i'm not in that category. i'm 96 hours in on my first character at the moment, and not only am i still excited about finishing the game, but i'm already planning what my next character will be like.
I got work n a whole lot of other games to play.
