I would be honored for him to ban me...didn't know he had administrator privileges through (not completely surprising)

Back on topic As long as the game succeeds and the moderators stay at their current peak the forum should be safe

In just over a month of now, expect there to be quite a lot of "I'm disappointed" threads on this forum. I notice a lot of people have very, very, very high expectations. Of course, it's better than complaining about every small detail, but still, we all have made a certain image in our heads of what Skyrim will be like and that can cause major disappointments. It is the same with any other game, so I don't expect it to be different for Skyrim. All I want to say is: don't get over excited! Take the game as it is and don't expect it to be exactly as you imagine it to be. It's just a trend I've been noticing. Don't get me wrong: Skyrim will be a great game, possibly the best game of the year, but that doesn't take away the fact that it will be different than you expect it to be.

Do you think people are over excited? Are you?

im very hyped, and you know what I think im still going to more blown away than i can ever have imagined !!!

[Lexy Dick]

If you ask me back then at Morrowind and Oblivion time I would told you that they where the best games ever, now that the years have past I can see more clear their weakness. Still good games though.
And I don't distinguish people to lovers&haters. We just have different opinions that's all and it should be respected each.
I have a negative stand for skyrim because i don't like where bethesda is up to with the pc version, but i can admit that I was impressed from the last leaked pictures and i still have hope.

"All I want to say is: don't get over excited!" << Too late,that happened the moment skyrim was announced. I have never wanted a game so much,and i am pleased with 99 % of what i've heard about it,and i'm willing to embrace the changes. I have played games for a long time,and with certain games i get a gut feeling that it's going to be great,and i have that feeling with skyrim. The more i've seen and heard the more excited i am. There maybe things i won't be keen on in the game,but these games,be it morrowind,oblivion ,or skyrim offer something more than any other game in my book. I remember reading bits and bats before morrowind came out,and i got a good feeling about it. I also remember buying an xbox magazine rating morrowind 7/10 just before i bought it,and i thought to myself....No way,i know the game will be better than that. Morrowind hit me for six when i bought it,i'd never played anything like it. I had the same feeling with oblivion as i did with morrowind. Oblivion did not let me down either. In hind-sight some things could of been better with oblivion ( same with morrowind ),but the overall experience of these games and what they give you ( in my opinion ) cannot be matched,and has not been matched so far with any other game. Now i know i haven't played skyrim,but i kinda know what to expect: I expect to be lost in the wonder of a hugh world,the wonder of exploring,the story,the freedom,the games hours,the replay value....Hell ,even the music in these games are of the highest quality. Even with the changes,there will be things there that just keep you hooked,far more than you'll dislike,just like the other games.

If skyrim isn't a great game,i'll pack up gaming forever,and i know that ain't going to happen.

[Haley Merkley]

I'm really hyped for this game but I don't think I'll be disappointed. The reason being I'm not excited for any specific thing - just the game itself. As long as it arrives 11/11/11 and it matches the gameplay footage we've seen, I'll be a happy bunny ^_^

[Harry-James Payne]

What took me so long to find this site? I have only been here for a few days, but I love it already. Everyone here is awesome. /gushfest

That said, Oblivion and Fallout 3 are my favorite video games after 28 years of gaming across most of the major consoles, starting with the Atari 2600. I wasn't paying attention to Skyrim until about a month ago, because I knew I would drive myself crazy. The madness has hit though. Oh, has it hit...

I am not expecting to spontaneously combust after killing my first dragon. I realize that games of this size and scope will invariably muck something up initially. And that is okay, because I do not expect perfection. I appreciate the thousands, and even tens of thousands, of hours that the people at Bethesda work to make their games. It is not lost on me, and I believe Skyrim will deliver everything that I want and more. I knew this to be true after watching the Howard Demo, as I call it, about ten times. The revamped HUD and Menu system, the expanded Character Creation, Radiant A.I., Radiant Story, Execution animations, the Creation Engine, and of course...DRAGONS!...all amazed me and I expect them to be what they are meant to be.

But you know what stands out the most for me (besides how awesome Draugrs are...)? The prism lighting effect on the Staff when it's used in the Bleak Falls Barrow dungeon. Seeing the attention to small details like that is what keeps me coming back to games like this. And with all of that said (sorry, I ramble), my ultimate expectation for Skyrim is no different than any other game I play...

I just need it to be fun.

Whole lotta love,

J

I think as long as people are open to change and the natural evolution of the elder scrolls, you can be as excited as you want. Just don't lose your job, house, girlfriend or wife over this game.

[Pumpkin]

I know exactly what I'm getting 11-11-11, a new TES land to explore, improved combat from oblivion, new quests and great graphics. I can't possibly be disappointed.

[Neil]

I'll be too busy playing to be reading the forums.

[Irmacuba]

After 28 years of gaming across most of the major consoles, starting with the Atari 2600.

Hi and welcome, yet another 'creeky old gamer' joins the Forum lol. (There's a lot of us old gamers on here btw), I personally started on the ZX80.

[yermom]

I'd say I'm on par with where I should be. I'm not expecting overly dynamic performances on aspects involving combat, NPCs, environment. But I do see that there is a substantial improvement from the previous game. And I'm not even saying that Oblivion was bad.

I think what's going to be most disappointing for some people is the fact that it's still a video game. I think people are expecting realism on every aspect. I'm expecting dragons' wings to go straight through buildings/trees with little to no effect. There's only so much you can fit into a game, I fully believe that Bethesda covered all the basics. And even the details. But it's the micro-details that I'm expecting to be flawed. The little things that people will complain about.


what's more- in the first month or so, there will be bugs. I think what's disappointing to me is that many of the people that will play the game in those first few weeks will basically summarize the game based off of the first few moments of gameplay and whatever bugs they find along the way, they'll count it against the game. Big "no, no."

EXPECT BUGS

And then wait a few months before you start overly-complaining about them. Bring them to light, let Beth know, but don't conclude that "skyrim svcks" because of those first initial playthroughs. A game this big will have bugs. More than most games.

But give it time. Those things will get fixed.

What he said ^

[Mari martnez Martinez]

How can you be disappointed in a game that isn't out yet? o.O

[Naazhe Perezz]

disappointed? nah, how am i though? i'd say...mostly decent or... i'm not unwell thank you

[Tanya Parra]

Having overly high expectations for anything is just a setup for major disappointment later. That will only lead to (after release) complaint threads like, "this game svcks because the game didn't live up to my ridiculously high expectations, so therefor this is the worst game in history". It's bound to happen, it happens with every game. somebody will expect to much and wind up hurt because it won't live up to the hype that he/she created in his/her own mind.

I like to keep my expectations reasonable. Expect a some bugs, some pretty big ones may happen, and also the little ones. I don't expect it to be Morrowind 2.0, nor do I expect it to be Oblivion Part 2. This is Skyrim, and I'll play it for that.

Low expectation= less disappointment when the game is released, and more enjoyment out of it for years to come...or until Fallout 4 comes out.

The same way people somehow already know it'll be perfect.

ZING unfortunately your not allowed to think like that without retribution ;p


Why Dissappointment threads? Look around for the SERIOUS Dissappointment threadsm sensible people asking why is this gone or why something doesn't make sense we're stuck with third party information rife with msinterpretation and a Company that doesn't answer simple questions outright. many of the dissappointments are for reasonable things like Spell casting, Armor Deg etc etc stuff that do not make sense in their omission.


Its like Come the hell on 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

[Heather Stewart]

I won't be disappointed. I play these games for fun and that's exactly what it'll provide me with. 3 steps forward always. Thank you Beth.

[Mario Alcantar]

well i would be happy with it just being asd good as oblivion i already know it's gonna look allot better and the quests will be different it would have to be pretty crap to disappoint me.

the game play demo helps

[Pat RiMsey]

I could say the same thing about the hype threads too. I think the disappointment threads stand out in people's minds because they are negative which is in conflict with the optimistic of our culture. I'm disappointed and excited about many things i've heard about from Skyrim, but there is a big difference between an optimist and a fan boy/girl. I think its mostly the older TES fans, the people who have played since pre-Morrowind or even Morrowind. Those people( like me) have a set idea on what TES is about, while newer people like Oblivion people think Oblivion was the basis on what the game is built on, sort of a more casual RPG game rather than the vast hoard of complex numbers the older fans like.

I think the biggest Achilles heel of TES series is that it 'reinvents' itself with each release, making it rather difficult to become attached and expect improvement rather than a different game. When people hear of a sequel, they expect Morrowind 2.0 rather than Oblivion, or Oblivion 2.0 rather than Skyrim. For me, i can best sum it up as one step forward and one step backwards.

[Tom]

I think a lot of the people on this forum that are super hyped simply are not aware of the full list of changes Bethesda has made from previous games. Once they actually play the game, they will be in for a shock.

[Alycia Leann grace]

I stopped getting hyped for TES: V when I first played TES: IV.

But then they'd just be in the same place. D:

[Ben sutton]

Even if the game has a gamebreaking bug on release date, I will still have BF3 and Arkham City to keep me occupied until Beth fixes it. :wink_smile:
