Did Skyrim make your top 5?

Post » Wed Dec 14, 2011 4:18 pm

1) Quest for Glory 4 (This is how you do storytelling in games RIGHT.)
2) Baldur's Gate 2
3) Baldur's Gate 1
4) Oni
5) Final Fantasy 8 (I know. It was the first FF I played, so it still holds a special place in my heart.)

TES:S is good, but she's not that good. There's too little in the way of character, story, reactivity and variety, and there's a little too much grind.

I'm surprise there aren't many Fable 1s...
Sure, Fable III was complete [censored] and shouldn't even be mentioned ever again (*slaps self for mentioning*), but man, Fable 1 was memorably amazing.
(well, i was 10 and it was my first RPG so i guess any RPG eould be amazingly memorable back then)


the first fable game was incomplete when they released it, which is why the lost chapters or whatever came out a year later.

1) Okami
2) Skyrim
3) Fallout: New Vegas
4) Ristar
5) Hogs of War

Something like that at least.


"Hogs of War" - Totally awesome. Bought a $2 PSOne that needs some piecing together just to get this game sometime. 50 bucks one of lowest prices I've seen. Bet not many gamers even know what that is.

1. AD&D Pool of Radiance
2. Might and Magic 7
3. Battlefield 1942
4. World of Warcraft
5. Skyrim

6. Duke Nukem 3D
7. Thief 2
8. Half Life 2
9. Carmageddon 2
10. The Sims

I don't know. I always wait a few months before ranking a new game; it's good to get a little perspective before slotting into the all-time list.

I really don't have a top 5 - there are 3 games that stand out for me, and then a bunch of other excellent titles.

The big 3:
Deus Ex
Thief 1/2
Dragon Age: Origins

the rest: Civilization series, Mass Effect Series, DX:HR, Thief 3, Half Life series,...Skyrim will be in there, and may break into the top 3 (or 4).

2) Perfect Dark
3) Warcraft III
4) Skyrim
5) The Oregon Trail

Top five? I think yes. In no particular order:
Skyrim
City of Heroes
Morrowind
Ghost Recon
Red Dead Redemption

Though I am probably forgetting some great old games.

1. Frontier: Elite II
2. Crusader Kings
3. Football Manager 1995-
4. Shining in the Darkness
5. Fallout: New Vegas
(5). Rome: Total War
6. Deus Ex (1)
(6.) Thief: The Dark Project
7. Oblivion FCOM/OOO
8. Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory
9. Monkey Island 1, 2, 3
10. Unreal Tournament (1)

Skyrim doesn't make top ten, sorry. Its a great looking game but has no depth or challenge and far too many of the same old crappy limitations and issues left over from Oblivion to be a 'classic'.

Those are:

1. Voice acting variety and quality is rubbish
2. Lack of challenge
3. Lack of any ability to 'change' the world, you just pass through it and nobody gives a [censored] what you do or who you 'do'.
4. Level scaling and dumbing down of everything from interfaces to the infuriatingly banol and obvious 'puzzles' and quest hooks. Oh look, two people talking! Its the same as Oblivion and it still svcks balls 6 years later guys.
5. Bad writing/quests (but good level design this time)
6. Short and boring main quests
7. Rubbish combat. Skyrim is an improvement but lack of limb damage and proper witcher style adrenaline battles is lame. Run away or mash left mouse. Nothing more complex. Nothing more interesting. In 2011? Yawn.
8. Poor audio quality, great audio content. A travesty.
9. Steam DRM: Just Say No. I also despise what you are trying to do with quite cynically for very cynical reasons making steam the 'new' nexus for mods. Thats just wrong on so many levels.
10. Vast amount of incidental objects and detail but no hardcoe mode to make them interactive or purposeful. Why?
11. Vampires are broken and silly. Heck your face doesnt even change now!
12. Still no co-op play. I'm amazed you didn't go there with Skyrim. TES games scream out for 2 player co-op mode.


The saddest thing is that in 2006 Oblivion was great fun and despite being very broken, it still wowed and soaked up the hrs. Skyrim has elements of wow but ultimately its just Oblivion 2. Which doesn't cut it six years down the line. If Skyrim had been released six years ago instead of Oblivion, it might have been up there with the best games of all time. But for anyone who was there in 2006, Skyrim sadly is just old hat now. The one thing that could have made it great, despite itself, would have been immersive, quality writing and to a great extent, depth of playspace/world. Those things just didn't make it in to Skyrim for technical and marketing reasons I guess. Shame.
