"While Skyrim’s Hearthfire does offer exactly what it says it does, players will find the constrictive system far from adequate for their experience. While it may be a cheap add-on at only 400 MSP ($5), the extra additions to the player’s world feel rather slim. Still, players who do acquire Hearthfire will be able to carve out their only little niche in their world of Skyrim and begin a family in what can be the fanciest houses in the game, that look the same as everyone elses. Ultimately with a lack of customization and extra additions to these houses, Hearthfire is a bust, even at its budget price."
"With having no internet at the moment I’ve had a chance to go back through my steam library and play games I wouldn’t normally go back and play, and Skyrim is one of them. With the new remaster, and no modding capabilities while I’m offline, what better way to experience the game than the “Vanilla Deluxe” version."
" no modding capabilities while I’m offline " lol consoles.Also,modding tools???Ever heard about them more than 6-7+ years now???no?It shows.
I got the game for free on pc and I have over 200 mods installed (many of which I converted myself from the original Skyrim). Within 120 hours of gameplay I've only had 4-5 crashes (always mod related)and it looks beautiful. Even on my monster rig the original skyrim crashed regularly with half the mods I have now and it didn't look as good or run as well. I'm more than happy with the remaster.
ScreenCritics takes a look back over our top 11 worst pieces of DLC we wish hadn't happened
Hearthfire:
"The DLC adds nothing to the game except for the ability to build your own house."
For $5 you could build a house in a number of ways, you could include forges, enchanting tables etc so that crafting/alchemy could conveniently be done all in one place, you could adopt children, you could keep a pet, you could turn followers into stewards, you had a carriage driver who would take you to more places than any other carriage service, you could bake/beekeep/farm and fish (which were great if you had a survival mod), and your house would often be attacked and you'd have to defend it.
You could also use it, as most people did, as a central location to store all of your items, display them on weapon/armour racks, and a place to sleep (again, good for survival mods).
So yeah, 'nothing' but all of that.
Skyrim is an amazing and wonderful game. However, now that the excitement has been set aside after all these years, there are things that need improvement.
Main thing I hated about Skyrim was despite the fact the world was so open they couldn't do the same when you enter a town.
You know how annoying it is go through one loading screen after another when you are roaming around a town. All the doors should of been open so you could go in and out without trouble. Would of made the Restoring the Thieves Guild quests easier.
Oh and a pet hate was how all the tombs and dungeons featured Draugr. They could of mixed it up more, where were the normal Zombies from past games, add more Skeletons, ghosts etc
Sounds like a massive waste of money.
It's something they wanted in the main game but said "hey! Lets make money and milk this"
Boycott Bethesda and the cash grab.
We are the ps3 99% DEMAND quality and to be taken seriously.
DON'T PAY FULL PRICE FOR BROKEN GAMES!
