it will its called a construction set

LOTS of bugs. 30 minutes into the game, my character was holding his magically floating gun 10 inches above his hands, I'd fought scorpions halfway coming out of the ground.. lol

PC or 360?

Your copy must have been bloody mangled.

I'm keeping my expectations low enough without going into mediocrity. But I'm hoping for TES to be worthy of a GOTY award rather then ME3 and high praise even by some of the more pessimistic fans on these forums (however unlikely the latter is). But with so many people having expectations that are beyond the realm of realism and how hard it is to please others disappointment is inevitable as is the numerous complaints.

Regardless I'm waiting for someone to say that TES Skyrim wasn't enough like Oblivion and allow the cycle of hype and complaint to continue as always.

Damn guy LOL :flamethrower: my dreams

From what I have read, wrote, and discussed with others like yourself

Oblvion for 1st time TES gamers = This is the best RPG game ever!!!

Oblivion for Morrowind and even Daggerfall gamers = WTF!?!? no [censored] levitate, mark and recall, what happen to my spears?!?, the enemies do what when I level, etc etc.


Its can become a viscous cycle but Bethsda can fix it with Skyrim and who know us old school TES gamers might just end up saying "Morrowhat....ohhh I remember that game"...Only time will tell :drool:

I don't see how Skyrim could not live up to my hype. I've enjoyed every TES game immensely and I'm pretty sure that pattern isn't going to end with the next one.

(Unless they don't add guns and cell phones, if they are not in the game, it will be a complete fail...)

Its only been a few years since Oblivion and afterwards people started mentioning over the years of a rumored TESV.

Its hard not to hype over it.

I'm quite liking this stage of the hype (apart from some hostility concerning games, consoles etc.) - where nothing is confirmed so everyone's imagination is let loose - I doubt many people think that everything they have imagined in it's most perfected form will be in, so I doubt many will be that disappointed when more info is revealed. I think the majority know when they are being unrealistic, but it's nice to dream
I think as long as we're not promised something by Beth which then gets pulled, expectations won't be crushed too much.

It killed Gran Turismo 5.

No amount of hype can ruin this game for me.

I say the only thing we should speculate or expect is that some things will be different , and some things will be the same. We should enjoy the game for what it is going to be. The less we expect and hope for , the less we will be disappointed in, and (on the more likely side) surprised at. I hope this game delivers as much as all there previous titles, and I hope it gives a little more just like they always do. I trust Bethesda , and I am sure they will not disappoint. Lets be thankful we have a release date :foodndrink:

Hype won't kill the game it will kill YOU!

Considering we dont know ANYTHING yet, but people are already declaring it the best game ever made, I do see a risk.

Anyway, I'm taking any demo videos with NPCs setting their dogs on fire as part of the fantastic Radiant AI with a truckload of salt.

There is little danger of over-hyping this game. If you were around for all the hype surrounding the release of Oblivion, you would realize that it's the same now as it was then, and I don't think it hurt the game too bad, in my opinion. Yeah we didn't get all these far out wishes and speculations we had but overall the game delivered, even if it wasn't walking on water for us. Personally I enjoy speculating, the more outlandish the better. It lets me know that there are other people out there besides me that want these game companies to push the limits of current hardware and game design and it gives the developers a desire and incentive to deliver ever better products. So hype away, hype to your hearts content, the more we push up what we want to see in the game, the more the devs will feel that they have to deliver, if not this generation of games then the next or the one after.

Some of the speculations prior to the release of Oblivion:

• Fluid-based dynamic water. 3D water, waves, etc.
  
• Physics enabled fauna. Grass and etc affected by characters walking through it. Trampled, brushed aside, etc.
  
• Derformable Terrain (affected by npcs and nature). Rain erosion, landslides, footprints, etc.
  
• Dynamic Shadows - Everything. The E3 video, nuff said.
  
• Realistic AI. No psychic guards. Think the thief series but better or etc.

All of the above was speculated at the time, some were taken quite seriously as possibles in the game. The fluid dynamics bit was discussed during an official Q&A with the devs. Whole threads were based around the theme of physics enabled fauna. I remember reading posts discussing how you'll speculatively be able to track animals in the forest based on disturbed grass and stuff.

It's all in fun, even if it isn't going to be in the game. Like someone said, hype doesn't hurt a game, it only hurts yourself if you let it.

Amen.

What a heaping load of **** that was.

People have been anticipating this game alot longer than its announcement.

Good luck with that.

I doubt the hype can do anything.

Hype is usually only destroys a game that is just starting or a long awaited second sequel.

This is Elder Scrolls 5, we should no what to expect and possibly more. Beth always delivers and has never really dissaponted me.

Sure theres alot of day dreaming in this forums but it won't overstate the game. I like daydreaming but I know reality too (somewhat).

Nah Oblivion had its flaws but I think we can see a comeback.

Dude, TESV speculation has been going on for YEARs. Before these new forums opened... Hey, Rohugh, what "TES suggestion thread" number were we up to? Was it eighty-something?

I'll probably get bored after the GI article removes the suspense and mystery. My fears will either be confirmed or allayed. In the meantime, I can have fun wishing. It's like Shroedinger's cat.

I thought it was around 142 the last time I saw it before these forums actually.
