Skyrim; best or one of the best games ever?

Skyrim was great bro


-Your friendly homie

 

Am I the only person who finds this thread wildly peculiar?

 

It isn't even the best game in the series. Skyrim is the most overrated game in history, that's for sure.

 

Skyrim is one of the games in history thats for sure

 

I love it but it seems to trigger me, I don't know why. Maybe it's so good that it releases so much dopamine that I want to PMO again.

 

It's Todd Howard using a fake account, trying to build hype for his next game.

 

Skyrim is old news, it's all about Starfield.

 

Oh boy I hope it isn't gonna launch and become No Man's Sky pre-"good" update or Fallout 76

I say it's the best game of all time.

 

We'll find out on Sunday at the Xbox E3 show. I'm interested at least.

 

Coming from someone who has played the game extensively on PC... by itself, it's definitely a good game, although the PC port is far less stable and obviously, the game has not aged very well at all. Floaty combat, terrible UI, ugly character models, dull graphics, etc. But modded? Assuming you learn to do it right, do it well, and do it safely, it's one of the best games I've ever played with one of, if not the most active, varied, and biggest modding communities in gaming. I look forward to playing it again one day.

 

I doubt Xbox will actually interfere that much with Bethesda, beyond trying to make it so their games arent broken at launch.

 

Didn't engage me tbh. The story didn't engage me, didn't really care either for the Imperials or the Stormcloaks. About the only story in the game that did appeal to me was the quest about the dog. The lack of a centering system during combat I found annoying. But I can't really fault them... Skyrim was released in 2012 and games which feature centering systems in combat like BotW or Witcher 3, which I confess I'm comparing the game to, came out much later. Still, had much more fun with Witcher 3.

Also, had an ethical qualm with trapping the souls of people or creatures in weapons and armor. That's just... unethical. Yeah I know it's game, but still....

 

It wasn't my intention to denigrate your own experience with the game! I realize that a lot of people have found the game fun- hence it's widespread popularity. I was only sharing my own experience with the game. Yes I played Witcher 3 during 2020 lockdown too. I didn't care for Yennifer- I liked Triss better- Keira I accidentally killed. Somehow my Geralt ended up with her though. Oh well. I didn't know what I was doing most of the time.

 

imo one of the most games of all time

 

I've heard only good things about it, might play it when I have the time
