Urgh, totally agreed. I don't want codkids running around these forums...

Not as widely publicized i don't think tbh i LOVED Oblivion n totally forgot about Skyrim untill like 2 weeks ago when i realized this is the next instalment!

The simple horror of that topic has left me in absolute fear for my sanity.

Imagine the mods having to deal with that type of troll every morning ! bliviongate:



Ps. no offense intended to anyone who plays cod

Just having to deal with immature people in general is a pain. Thankfully my circle of RPG fans I game with keeps to themselves and says absolutely nothing ill nor good of COD/GoW/FPS Gamers.

Nobody in my entire school know what Skyrim is lol, not even the entire city, region...

I have been playing RPGs since before the turn of the century and I did not know about Elder Scrolls until after Fallout 3 was released. I tried Oblivion and was not impressed with it. It is an OK game, but not good enough to get me excited about the next installment.

On the other hand, New Vegas gave me some hope for the next Fallout game. Hopefully Fallout 4 will not be TES with guns.

It's pretty popular here in Ohio

It's the 3rd biggest pre order in the US.

Go forth and spread the word of Todd.


Bethesda open world games may very well be the top game genre one day.



Number 1 rated game on xbox live.

I have an urge to kill you....everything you said....just....i dont even.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hfYJsQAhl0

It's very popular here but most users are going to buy it for PC because of mods. Role play gaming in italy has taken over the years the hardcoe route and most users found OB too casual for a hardcoe player, hence almost everyone is playing it with level scaling mods and such. We're basically a bunch of unpleasant elitists who repute OB no more than a tool to create a game. I don't know anyone who's going to buy Skyrim for console.

It is, actually...

It's very popular in my house, 50% of the population play Skyrim, that being me.

No-one but a few select people know what Skyrim is here...

Well, most games typically work like..
They start advertising mostly cheaply, depending on their core fan demographics.
Then, toward launch, they start a marketing campaign that includes magazine and T.V Spots.
Although I feel like you might have a bad sample group of gamers there, in my experience Skyrim is immensely hyped at the moment.

Where did you get this idea from?

It's Immensely popular here in Scotland

i know loads of people that are excited for this.

I would say that TES has been one of the most widely popular RPGs.

They are, and it is already being held as the game of the year. So what game are you talking about?

You know what, I have noticed this in New York too. I mean, people know what Skyrim is, but they aren't even excited.

you just happen to be in school with 60 of the most sheltered gamers in the world, i guess?

seriously, PAX was... packed... with people who wanted to see and play skyrim, and there were huge lines of people at the skyrim food truck, wearing the skyrim helmet plushes, taking pictures with the truck, etc.

i recall seeing a topic made by someone mentioning his company was actually worried if the workers there would skip out of work just to play the game... which is strange to hear, but i guess it was true. :shrug:

skyrim is extremely popular... hell, the people at IGNorant made that stupid "dark souls is better than skyrim" thing just to draw alot of people to their site, taking advantage of skyrim's popularity.

trust me, skyrim is plenty popular, and its going to sell extremely well... and all those gamers you goto school with will feel beyond foolish and like complete shut-ins for not knowing about it before hand.

I think the only thing keeping this game down is that it is an RPG and people are just generally not into them as much as your typical FPS.

Most famous anticipated game in the world and history to me.

Yesterday wandered into my nearest game store...and there, boldly placed in the middle of the store: huge Skyrim display. Asked how pre-orders were: well over 400. Think it is going to be immensely popular.
