I was going to say that.
Skyrim is popular and if is not around you for some weird reason, it is your role to make it popular !! :rock:

True dat

That's what I meant by etc. The majority of them LOVE Rpgs, and are awaiting Guild Wars 2. But they don't know that Skyrim comes out the same month 0.0.

In my class of 63 students, 3 know about Skyrim.

RPGs are not the big kid on the block.

Skyrim is huge in the RPG community.

I am also confident that as time comes closer, that we will start to see more hype spreading around, also if they did those teaser trailers like they did with Oblivion with the countdown. I know those alone drew a lot of new interest from people.

RPGs tend to have smaller, far more knowledgeable and passionate fanbases. Shooters tend to have enormously wide, but much more fickle short-term fanbases, who switch from one game to the next whenever a big new release comes out (which, for shooters, is every few months).

It's not quite as cut-and-dry as this, but it's sort of the same divide as between hardcoe and casual gamers.

Skyrim is immeasurably popular among people who care about games beyond their multiplayer capabilities. It's only next to the mega-brands like CoD or Warcraft that the game seems unpopular. It's like comparing Burger King to MacDonald's. MacDonald's is the world's most recognised brand, and next to it Burger King is miles behind in the number of people who prefer it - but there's still countless millions of Burger King fans.

I know A LOT of people that are getting it. A lot of my older friends, that is. All my friends my age are too stupid to play RPGs and just play CoD. I'm not kidding, one of my friends thought Fallout 3 was "super dumb" because it was "too complicated". :facepalm:

Sadly, in Mexico, Skyrim is not very popular, popular games here are Halo, Modern Warfare , FIFA, Zelda.

It was Game Informer's readers choice for most anticipated game of the year. GI is THE most popular gaming magazine. Skyrim is very popular.

every 1 out of 21 people know a what a good game is

That depends on which RPG community...

I suppose I should'nt have put 10th grade, what I meant was Sophomore year. There really isn't a difference between them where I go.

Don't be surprised. Since when can you depend on the masses to have good taste?

All I have to say is you better pray Skyrim and it's following iterations in TES stay about as popular as they are now. Any drastic deviation will inevitably alter the game to a point where it's current fan-base will abandon it.

Says who? :rolleyes:

ehh good RPG's tend not to be popular where im from so I guess I wouldn't be the person to notice.

It is extremely popular. Even by checking the view count on Youtube you can see how much attention Skyrim is getting. Although most of us watched the gameplay trailer 5-10 times . It doesn't matter Skyrim is one of the only True RPG games out there. It gathers all kinds of Rpg gamers and non Rpg gamers. I've been waiting so long after New Vegas for a proper Open World Rpg game and now there is just 26 days left!. Exciting stuff.

Quite so my good man! :foodndrink:

stay out of The Mojave,my area is filled with COD players....obssessively some of them

Because most people are like sheep copying the people that like shooters and dont appreciate a good game.

Yeah i am 15 and started with morrowind

Judging by the quantity of pre-orders, Skyrim seems to be quite popular.

As of October 8, there were nearly 900,000 pre-orders for Skyrim on PS3 and Xbox. This excludes PC retail and PC digital downloads. Across all platforms combined there have been probably well over 1 million pre-orders, comparable to games like Battlefield 3, which is only a couple of weeks from release date and http://games.ign.com/articles/120/1200238p1.html based on 1.5 million pre-orders.

i think its pretty popular... all my friends are going to buy it and even my math teacher told us about skyrim

And that's when those people say games like TES are for "nerds", just because they're too lazy/stupid/narrow-minded to get the scope and depth of those games. So the game and the fans must be bad, because it can't be themselves, can it?
