1)no real story
2)chunky combat

Steven213902d ago

I think it was a good fit in the whole realm of elder scrolls. The main reason I played it as long as I did is because I liked linking all the stories together from previous games. The one thing I did not like was the dynamic BS missions that added nothing to the game. Could have had a better story but overall I was very happy with the entries story

pandehz3902d ago

Great?

I wonder what your references are

GarrusVakarian3902d ago

While i do think the story could have been a little better, id say the amazing, detailed world and 100's of locations to explore more than make up for that.

Item weight adds to the realism of the game.

I love Item weight so that you are forced to think about your load-out and not just carry around 100000 items.

STALKER does this very very well then again STALKER is just so DAM GOOD and it was nice to see SKyrim try to copy that.

Buy the PC version, install some mods and enjoy the Skyrim at it's VERY VERY BEST!

1. Better interactive map
2. mismatch armor
3. What are Load times says my SSD
4. Drunk and Happy NPC
5. better weight system and Hunger!

1. its broken

As with all Bethesda games. I'm replaying Fallout 3 and New Vegas and my god, the amount of times they have crashed..

My friend is playing New Vegas on the PS3, and after downloading the newest DLC it broke his game, had to delete all DLC three times and only install certain ones in a specific order to get the game playable.

Come on Bethesda. You make some great games, but get it together.

As wide as an ocean - as deep as a puddle.

pandehz3902d ago (Edited 3902d ago )

Very very very true.

It awes you with all the possibilities and plop u can only go ankle deep in it.

Everything about it is such.

1) Combat- well we all know
2) Travel systems could be better than that odd horse and semi-slow running
3) Loot (dont get me started, i wore the same armor from lvl 7 to 31 when i finished the campaign and played loads of side quests) Besides stale cheese and mammoth tusk there is no proper loot progression.
4) Immersion- well almost similar to oblivion. Graphics immersion is decent so was Oblivion. NPC's are still half static and still say 'arrow to the knee kinda things just like oblivion' Some minor improvements but again very shallow.
5)Can never take stories seriously as the feel of it is off. Something about the odd animation to odd things said to random npcs behaving like dolls, no story aspect whether campaign or side can be taken seriously.

I mean I had to seriously try and roleplay that the greybeards were serious. They just walked funny lmfao.

Also NPC's turned their heads like the child from the exorcist. Very mechanical feeling everything.

Still overall a decent game.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.

anast19d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22919d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko19d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way

The 7 Best Western RPGs: Immersive Adventures

RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.

SimpleSlave20d ago

"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!

How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera

And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden

Loved Alpha Protocol in all it's glorious jank. Great game.

SimpleSlave19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.

Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.

Pity.
