Beth have announced the've also focused on making the UI PC compatible. Why so glum?

Until Beth reveals screens to show us that history (aka Oblivion PC interface) will not repeat itself...

mag: 8-9
players: 9-10
and I voted it was too casual. Been much simplified since morrowind but that's another matter.

I voted based on my experience with PC Gamer mag. They don't seem to review stuff based on how much they get paid like IGN or other crappy 'game' sites. PCG gave Black Ops a 70 or something, exactly what it deserved. I think PCG will cite that this game doesn't bring out everything a PC can do; that it was held back because of the simultaneous release on consoles. Held back in both graphics and depth.

Best games ever


other crap can get a 10.
Skyrim>other crap.
There for Skyrim deserves 10.

interesting results, I was expecting to see something harder,after seeing some comments in the threads.thanks for voting guys :thumbsup:

Player reviews are higher most of the time.

I think sites like Eurolamer will give it a 101 % , they gave 95% to OB .IGN and the rest of the important sites everyone is laughing at will probably play it elitist and give a 90%. Exclusives will hype up [censored] with "best game ever" , "Game of the Century" while ecstatic "fans" will give testimonials like " i postponed my euthanasia session just to play one more dungeon" "my son was blind before touching Skyrim's CD" "i sent my kids to an orphanage so i have more time to play" etc .

Well, I think we might see some of the same reactions as Oblivion had initially.

When it was first published, it was touted the best RPG ever by reviewers. giving it 9, 10 and once in a while 8. I think there's a good chance that it will happen to Skyrim too. The one thing that might change this is that even though Skyrim will have nice graphics, it won't be as cutting edge as Oblivion was. It might seem svcky now in 2011, but back in 2006 the graphics was superb. This and the sheer scope of the game, I think led a lot of reviewers to close forget the things that svcked with Oblivion, like bad storytelling, lousy fighting and much less customization and roleplaying than in Morrowind. Since the visuals won't be as astounding today, the reviewers might see Skyrim for what it is (hopefully a 9 or 10), and maybe be a little more realistic in their reviews.

The same I think will probably happen with me and other gamers. The first week I played Oblivion, I loved it, but then gradually i realized that it lacked a lot that I had loved in Morrowind. I can mention a lot of detailes, but to say that it lacked Morrowind's grandness will cover my feelings. So while I would have given the game a 9 or maybe even a 10 initially, my second review after a month or so would have been a 6 or seven (8 on a good day). Hopefully this won't happen again. Hopefully Bethesda has learned something by reading reviews and forums on Oblivion, Morrowind and Fallout, and now knows what works and what doesn't.

So I will be optimistic and say that despite my experience with Oblivion, I hope and think Skyrim will be more to my liking and like Morrowind feel fresh and interesting even after 400 hours (Morrowind also became a bit boring after 800 hours, but Oblivion I didn't give more then 400 before I stopped playing) and I hope i even then will give it a 10.
