I commit the same sin as the article's author. I buy them because as a once young gamer I still get excited and do want to and intend to play the game but I take it home, open it and play it for an hour or two and leave it for a week. I forget what happened so have to start all over again. After a few weeks of doing this, another new exciting title comes out and its the same thing all over again.
When you're young you have so much time that you can put 3-4 hours/day ...
Falters.
Not enough new game to pay another $60 especially when you can get a totally different GOTY experience with Skyrim, UC3, Batman, Darksouls, Resistance3 etc.
If you've never tried any Assassin's Creed game then this is a great game and get it but if you played AC2 and Brotherhood why would you pay another $60 for basically a Brotherhood 2.5
The Best Skyrim Feature: SOUNDTRACK
The music in Skyrim is just amazing. Listen to track 4, 5, 6, (Exploring Parts 4,5,6).
For me just the soundtrack is worth $20 alone. I'm listening to it all the time in the car, at home, at work during breaks. Its so calming and moody.
If there is a Soundtrack of the Year, then Skyrim should get the honours.
Do we really need any of these hard copy guides? I just simply go online and get much more uptodate and detailed guides for FREE. So tell me why I need to pay real hard earned money for these guides even if they're discounted?
Do you see a difference? Cause I don't see a difference.
I bet 100% that if I were to scrambled the screenshots and ask you to tell me which ones are low, medium, high, and ultra within 30 seconds NOBODY would able to pick the right ones.
If you have to carefully look at each one for more than 10 seconds and go back and forth 2 or 3 times then they are practically the same.
man talk about nitpicking about details that NOBODY cares or noticed. Marlow and Talbot wasn't flushed out enough to your satisfaction? I was fine with it. I didn't have any disappointment with how those characters were handled.
The game ended in an anti climatic way? Are you kidding me? Did we play the same game? That last sequence was edge of the seat, eye drooling, heart pounding out of this world sequence. What are these idiots talking about?

"there's no way an exclusive title should have any hope of grabbing GOTY..."
ummm Uncharted 2
GOTY: Skyrim or UC3
Please better graphics. We've been spoiled after Rage, Batman, Battlefield3, Uncharted3. I can't play in low res blurry GTA4 graphics. Make sure its at least Red Dead Redemption standard.
well admittingly I wouldn't want bots if it can't be done properly and bots in Battlefield3 would be quite difficult because to play it right you have to play as a team.
But sometimes I just want to try out a few things, strategies, goof around, or just get a quick session where I can quickly jump in and out without waiting for servers or dealing with lag.
I do that with other games that have bots and get enjoyment out of them so I just wish Battlef...
Battlefield3 badly needs bots. I'll get this game when the ultimate version comes out with all the DLC and bots. Or wait for the Frost Bite 2 Bad Company version that will hopefully include bots. Am I the only one that really misses bots?
My Uncharted3 farts at MW3 graphics
If you're able to wait then get the ULTIMATE edition that will include every DLC.
Uncharted3 should not have been reviewed by this Tom Chick and the site is obviously trolling.
I'm sure for every top AAA game there will always be someone who just isn't into that game. No matter how great the game is, I guarantee 100% that you can find a few ppl that just find it boring and could not get into it.
I know a few people who find Dark Souls incredibly boring and tedious and feels more like work than a fun engaging game. But I and many mi...
Hey Uncharted fancrybabies. Read what I wrote. I think Uncharted3 is a great game I do want it but I had to make a hard choice because within the past couple of months I had already got a small library of AAA games: DEHR, Resistance3, Rage, Dark Souls, BatmanAA, Battlefield3. All pre ordered and still got Skyrim to pick up.
I just don't have time to play all of these right now so I decided I'll pick up Uncharted3 later when I have more time.
But my p...
If you're Korean then Starcraft. I think they've got a Starcraft gene in their DNA. Its a national sport over there. Best players are as popular as movie stars lol
Yeah a GOTY Skyrim is 100% but that will probably be a more than a year from now and not months. Didn't it take at least a year for GOTY Oblivion to come out?
Skyrim is one game where you can easily put 100+hours and more. There is so much value in this game. If you can only afford one game to last you for a long time Skyrim is one of those games. Dark Souls is probably second but Skyrim has more of a story and it isn't so "punishing".
People who are talking about potential 2011 GOTY must wait until Skyrim comes out because this is definitely a title that deserves to be consider for GOTY.
New game engine. Vastly improved visuals. Everything has been improved-sound, music, karma, even the user interface. As much as I like Batman AA and Dark Souls and UC3, I've had my eye on Skyrim all the time. I can't wait.
@ Terrified
Hey stupid, it sounds like you're talking to someone who said they hope Skyrim has updated graphics and is better than Oblivion.
Well duh, ofcourse Skyrim has today's tech and is better than older titles. The discussion is HOW MUCH BETTER Skyrim is compared to Oblivion and how far they've come. The improvement made is so drastic that Skyrim looks next gen even though Oblivion and Skyrim are still running on the same generation consoles...
I was going to reply to "Scottis" but "smashman98" explained it perfectly and I'd just be repeating what he said.
I picked those titles (skyrim, resistance3, batman etc) specifically because I bought them all and played them all and can honestly say that they are true sequels deserving of another $60.
Each of those titles continues on the story, characters, theme etc but they each improve so much from the previous titles that they ca...
