Skyrim -The end of the modern RPG : V - Skyrim

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 9:31 am

This already happened to me. I don't buy any new RPG's because they can't compare to Bethesda's games. The only one I bought recently other than a Bethesda game has been the Witcher, which was nowhere near as good as TES.

Wow, with a title like this and it's not about how RPGs are getting more dumbed down...

With the way graphics are advancing, ES VI may look like this: http://i.imgur.com/Wn97m.png

LOL.

Once people see and finish the content, the next version of Peggle will be more interesting than Skyrim, so no.

LOL.

4 years ago, we were shown this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6yXTcgO7Xw&feature=related

5 years from now, I expect those graphics in videogame form.

The Elder Scrolls games have already ended my search for most other RPGs long ago. The other series just do not compare (In my opinion). And yes, That includes Final Fantasy. That game series ended with FF8 (Also in my opinion). Fable 1 was good, but since then that series has gone horribly wrong (Yet again, In my opinion).

Not that I still don't play some other RPG's.... Its just rare.

After Skyrim i think Next gen Consoles will Release like Xbox 720,Xbox Portable,PS3,PSP 2 and WII 2

Xbox 720 i think that is going to Release in 2012
Xbox Portable I think Release 2012 or 2013
PS3 Somewhere between 2012 and 2015
PSP 2 I think 2012
WII 2 Probably 2012

Video cannot be played on mobile?

This isn't the end. It's only the beginning.

Ok... stop the booze, it makes you incoherent.

TES has stopped to be a RPG since Oblivion. And with Skyrim it has effectively become an action game with first person view that has mediocre RPG elements.

At this state of thing its as RPGish as Diablo is, right now the only diference is first person to Isometric, with the fact that TES is late of a decade over diablo.

I think its is an rpg. And that is what most refer to as. By almost every gaming site/mag by other game developers and by the vast majority of gamers.

No, he's right, everyone else is wrong, and I'll tell you all exactly why: the world is going to end in 2012, so it really will be the last awesome RPG in existence. Yup. :tongue: Better enjoy it as much as you can right after it becomes available!

Seriously though, I can't wait for it to come out. Based on my experiences with Oblivion and Fallout, and after seeing the gameplay in motion in the trailer and semi-high-rez screenshots, I can see where this has the potential of being the best damn game I've ever played to date. Who knows what the future will bring afterwards though.. It's too much for my puny brain to comprehend!

EXACTLY! september 11th 2012 we will be hit by a massive coronal mass ejection making all electronics explode/catch on fire and the world will spin into chaos! the end is near!

This. TES is one of the few "pure" RPGs left and it is definitely the best. Most other RPGs are just hybrid RPGs that has some RPG aspects.

What? What?! What? What.

Oblivion was an Arpg with the "A" capitalized and the "rpg" in lower case. Fo3 was a shooter with some customization and some pretty good exploration.

Judging by what has been released about Skyrim, TES V will be Bioshock with swords and exploration (mechanically, anyway).

Bethesda games have been drifting away from "pure" RPG for a while now.

Try Dragon Age 1, the Witcher, Stalker, or Fallout New Vegas for the closest thing we have nowadays to a "pure" RPG.

As for TES V killing the RPG genre on the modern consoles: a successful game encourages more games of its kind, better an worse in quality, not the end of the genre.
That's capitalism for you.

This is of course an interesting statement.

With all those great games releasing around Skyrim's release date? Nope,I don't see the end of the current consoles anytime soon.

» Tue Mar 29, 2011 8:47 pm

Why do some people seem to care more about which genre Skyrim will be slotted in than they do about the actual content of the game?

How can any RPG title built on the Xbox 360 or PS3 compete with, let alone outmatch, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim?

Skyrim marks the end of an era of gaming as we know it, as I believe it will achieve the epitome of Xbox 360 perfection.

No greater console game can be manufactured until a new console is mass produced. Nobody will buy RPG's anymore because they have Skyrim. What else is there?

This is truly a horrifying accomplishment.

My point is after they make Skyrim they are going to have to release new consoles

:gun: :bonk:

I think you're overreacting, think about Diablo 3 and those games.

Are you insane? Do you really believe TESV is a true RPG.. NO, has beths games ever been a true RPG, No... Also Nintendo is announcing a console soon, and it will most likely be more advanced then 360 and PS3....

» Wed Mar 30, 2011 6:41 am

Sony kept the PS2 going for 10 years, but they still released the PS3 after about 6. I believe Sony will support the PS3 until late 2016, but that doesn't mean they won't release a new console in that time, according to the past.

very good point...

I really hope they'll not be called XBOX720 and PS4.

Dark Souls
Final Fantasy Versus XIII
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning
~~Final Fantasy XIII-2~~

I also still don't have my Kingdom Hearts III, yet.

Skyrim is definitely my most anticipated game, but I've still got my eye set on other future RPGs available on either/both of the two consoles mentioned.

Pretty much this.

Are you insane? Do you really believe TESV is a true RPG.. NO, has beths games ever been a true RPG, No...

This is a thing many people tend to forget. TES games were always more action based than "traditional" RPGs, but they were less linear and more exploration based than Action RPGs like Diablo.

It's kind of funny when people whine how TES is going to be more of an action RPG when it always was one...

I've got one for ya. GTA:V

» Tue Mar 29, 2011 10:07 pm

The elder scrolls is always the beginning and the end rpg to any console in my opinion.

A new era of gaming is upon us.

I would perhaps beleive you, if you had a jyggalag avatar, you madman!
