Haha, yes, it did seem a rather amusing sentiment especially when you referred to the disembodied voice...
Skipped the best one.
Its not so much that I skipped it, rather than I havent had a chance to play it.
Oblivion I played when it released just after the launch of the 360. It was amazing at first, but the leveling/scaling system eventually bothered me and there were so many good games to play I just got tired of it.
When Fallout 3 came out it looked interesting but I knew I wouldnt like it if had the same leveling/scaling system as OB. All the previews and reviews went out of their way to mention the adjustment in leveling/scaling. Also the 3 part demo(i think it was 3 parts) Todd voiced over looked wicked. So I gave it a whirl and absolutely loved it. I put in excess of 300 hours into the game.
At this time I was still using a windows os and I found out that Beth had put Arena and Daggerfall for free online. So I tried Daggerfall. It gave me the same headaches I used to get from playing doom. If I would have been playing the game when it was released I would have forced myself to play longer since it isnt a bad game at all.
Not long later I got tired of windows and became a linux guy. So I missed out on Morrowind. I didnt have a very powerful computer when it first came out and I had a ps2 instead of an xbox. So I havent had a chance to try it.
I played New Vegas and enjoyed it... AFTER WAITING 2 MONTHS. Since for me it was unplayable at release. But by december enough was patched that I could enjoy it. I put a little under 100 hours. It was a good game and the story lines were very good. But as a whole it wasnt as solid as Fallout 3. Then again it could just be that having to wait over 2 months to play a game that I preorder and got at a midnight release. By the time it was playable I could have spent $12 dollars to purchase it. Since I feel like my good faith was stepped on. It really colored my overall feeling in the game. Hell I look back and there were many things I enjoyed about the game. But the biggest memory is feeling like gamesas screwed me to make the holiday release.
Anywho that leads us the the announcement of Skyrim. I preordered the day after the unwatchable spike video game awards.(i refuse to watch that mockery of a awards show, thank the make for social media, skyrim news was all over the internets that very night) I had the game paid off in January. I joined a member of the forum simply because I have become voracious over every little tidbit of info that gets released and we dissect. I am very excited about Skyrim. This looks to be the game Ive wanted for a long time. A medieval fantasy game, with swords and sorcery, freaking dragons and the end of the world. Along with the lesson learned from OB and FO3. A new engine which looks bloody brilliant on the aging 360. Open world action rpg! Im ready!
Holy Moly. This was going to be a 2 sentence response. LOL
O-well. I still say the correct answer to your poll is [censored] em. :angel:
edit: I almost forgot. All this rambling and what I wanted to tell you was that I liked your poll. :thumbsup:
