got this game along with battlefield 3, and i've got to confess, i've been enjoying skyrim a lot more (for now)

first of all, battlefield 3's got better driver support, better graphics n animation, but they're different genres so i'm not gonna compare that too much. I started skyrim thinking meh rpg, cuz im more of a shooter fan, but after a couple hours im really hooked, but the ONE thing that wins over all:

waiting times

it really kills me to have to open origin, get to the battlelog, find an online server, wait for connecting and the level to load (i can browse the internet while waiting but still), go through a stuttering menu, then finally deploy. yeah i've had a couple good rounds but matches seem to end way too soon and i'm back to the end screen waiting for the server to cycle maps.

whereas in skyrim, i just right click steam icon n click skyrim, press play at the splash screen, and press enter at the main menu for an 8 second load time. and that's big for me, ease of access really gets me into the game despite it not being online, and i quickly found out that skyrim is actually a really really good open world single player game.

so wat do u think of skyrim or bf3? am i too harsh? cuz i dunno if i'm being too harsh.

you're comparing 2 very differant games. it's almost like saying " i think this Bertrand Yacht is better than this Ferrari Daytona".
BF3 is a scion of high end FPS gaming where Skyrim is an awesome RPG. both games are great in their own way but it really comes down to what genre of game the individual prefers, as you really can't say one is better than the other, just that you enjoy playing one more than the other because that's what your preferance is.
a better set of comparisons might be Skyrim vs. New Vegas or BF3 vs. MW3.
