See, there's people who bought Skyrim who is having a blast playing it and having fun. Then there's people who hate it and think that it's a bad game. If you're one of those who constantly has to complain on these forums about how bad it is, I'm going to tell you why you can't enjoy it like 98% of everyone else who bought it.

1. You probably got over-hyped about this game and told yourself that it was going to be the best thing ever in your whole life and so much better than any other game ever could be. And that's stupid. You simply put your expectations too high. Now, Skyrim is a game like every other game, and it can't get any better than games can get today. So when you make yourself believe that this is going to be the best thing ever, you will of course be disappointed.

2. You play a reviewer through the whole game, endlessly pointing out bugs/things that you don't like, and completely ignoring good things that you like. Again, it is your own fault that you think this game is bad.

3. You played Morrowind for the first time a long time ago, and you felt that it was the best game that you have ever played (probably because it was your first RPG of this kind) and you didn't get the same feeling playing Skyrim. This is called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nostalgia.

Now, Skyrim is only as good as you want it to be. Try not to focus on the bugs and bad things, but try to only focus about the good things that impress you. Thank you for reading.

The tl:dr version: Someone stole your sweetroll?

(Equivalent to cry moar)

grabbing my helmet...here comes the flak :cryvaultboy:

OP does have a point. Then again there are those who simply does not like this type of game, but you rarely find them on this forum.

Ignore everything bad and praise the good, got it.

Oh hey, every game suddenly has a 100% on Metacritic.

lolmetacritic

I simply wanted to share my point.

I love the game.

I am in love with the game.

If you read my posts and see how viscerally upset I am about the bugs, and glitches, and then see that I still say that it is probably the best game I have ever played -- that is a testament to what a gem it is.

I don't hate the game -- I hate bugs, because I want to enjoy this masterpiece unmarred.

I agree though -- despite how angered I am personally by the problems, I'll say again that it is one of, if not the best game ever made.

And your point is completely stupid.
See the post just above yours.

Which makes me wonder why they would purchase a type of game they knew they didn't like in the first place.

What I find funny about all the people saying Skyrim svcks, is they start off by saying they've played the game for like 20-100 hours.

It cracks me up every time...

Honestly, the good outweighs the bad so much in Skyrim, picking out Skyrim's flaws is like pointing out a pimple on some beautiful girl's cheek.

It's like saying "hey this girl is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen, but she's got a pimple on her cheek! Oh my god it's the end of the world!"

Because you decide to do this crap to death, ill just link you there and say read my posts. Takes about the same effort. Nothing against you personally just seen a bajillion of these and I feel that retyping the explanations gets old over time. I had no expectations besides the basics of TES so I am happy. Can it be better/more polished? Of course. They should make sure to keep a note of issues/community concerns for next go around. If no one complained there would be no changes, however pure blatant whining with no real discussion is pointless.

Bethesda created this hype...now they're getting back...full-force!



I play like a gamer...if the game performs in a crappy way, I do notice. If something is amiss, I do notice.



I never experience "nostalgia"...I expect from a game what I am told I could expect...



Hey Todd?
Take out that Chrhn from Danmark mask off! None would believe such a ludicrous really devoted fan could be anyone but someone from Bethesda!! :hubbahubba:

...and release the video where you're saying "We want to make it the best dragon backpedaling game"!! (XD) :hubbahubba:

Love the game but, OP, don't presume to speak for people. You have no clue.

Hypocrites. First 20 hours "OH GOD THIS CAME IS SO COOL!".

20+ hours - gets slightly bored, goes complaining on forums, worst game ever.

Don't tell people why they don't like the game. I'm sure they know much better than you do. They don't like the game, that's their opinion.

Your internet rage is completely stupid. If something someone posted is so meaningless to you, why would you feel the need to just spew venom into a thread unless you're a piece of a garbage?

I don't see why that makes them hypocrites.

I didn't get that part.

I find point 1. and 3. rather reasonable.

However, you should not being so adamant on telling people why they feel how they do. I doubt extremely that you can play hundreds of hours in a game merely as a reviewer, bent on spotting every blemish. You HAVE to get engrossed if you're going to play that long. So when people report something, they do report something that makes the experience flawed - at least for them. *shrug* If anything, that's useful input for Bethesda. Why did they try to make Skyrim a more personable world, or to arrange magic ? Oblivion complaints.

Ahhh so forums discussing the game are only allowed to focus on the good and if you don't like something then 'tough-don't come here'. Perhaps i missed the point of discussion forums? Or is the aim supposed to be one sided? I was under the impression everyone was entitled to an opinion, however stupid, which is why yours is also allowed.

it is the human condition....it never ends.... :intergalactic: planetary

No, it isn't.

It says well of the game with what people expect.

BETHESDA, YOU IMPLEMENTED MARRIAGE, AND IT'S SHALLOW!
BETHESDA, YOU GAVE US DOGS, BUT NOT CATS!
BETHESDA, THE AI OF THE MULTITUDE OF COMPANIONS IS KIND OF BAD COMPARED TO SCRIPTED GAMES!

I brush off all the complaining and realize the people that adore the game, such as myself, are playing it. Most of them, at least.

If you hadn't noticed, half of the threads on here is troll threads/threads with people complaining about the same things over and over again (the same points as I have written in OP).
