It's average. Average gameplay, below-average questing, below-average balance, above average graphics, below average voice-acting, below average story. The blind declaration that something so average would be 'epic' is a blatant sign of fanaticism.

Just to focus on one example from your list, the voice acting is the best of any game I've ever played, in fact, it's a known fact that improving voice acting was a priority over Obl, yet here you are calling it average.....so compared to what?

Hamo's thrilling drive in Spain inspired me to write more poetry.

Tyres were a factor at Barcelona Hamo, but you did all you could
You embarrassed Spainman, who over drove his car and destroyed under the hood
Spainman says he’s ready to enjoy racing, but forgets he’s a chump
You’re the best, and we all know you’ll kick his rump

I saw you on Parkinson, and you were calm, positive and coherent
But Spainman speaks a mix of Spanglish and gibberish that defies reason
No matter, he’ll be at the ass end of it all season
He’s a joke and the luckiest man alive

Each time I see you I’m excited, my heart rate elevates
And Spainman can’t deflate it.
The Italians don’t want him, and his own country is suspicious of him
Ron gave him a chance, and he used deception to advance
He’s a joke and looks like a bullfrog

Hamo, we’re separated by vast quantities of water, but I would love to have your daughter
You’re my hero and the world’s sexiest sportsman
Spainman is lucky to be anywhere near you
If I was there, I would nibble your ears for you
Spainman’s a joke and a laughing stock up and down pitlane

If it was up to Spainman to provide the entertainment
We’d all kill ourselves or banish ourselves to our basements
But you’ve re-ignited the season, and I love you for that and other reasons
I know you’ll be numero uno soon, then you can teach him to speak English

Yep, a completely surprising response. Unfounded, baseless, and totally ignorant, just like you.

Skyrim's a far longer and bigger game than most, so the number of main characters and general NPC's is huge, so there's a time and money component that large scale games like Skyrim always suffer from.

I could only bother with Batman AA for a few hrs before boredom kicked in anyway, so obviously I don't see it as an example of a great game, it's more like an interactive movie with unsatisfying combat.

burningdickman · Troll++

It's big, that's it. It isn't long unless you count the pointless grindfest padding. In which case, we can safely say WoW is the longest game in history. The number of 'main characters' is small, and general NPCs are all the same ten NPCs in essence, copy/pasted across the worldspace.

And I love how you say AA's combat isn't satisfying, while claiming that Skyrim's combat is. So tell me, what's so satisfying about the weightless combat of Skyrim?

I love how at one point, you said that Skyrim's voice acting is the best you've heard in a video game, then when confronted with the fact that the voices are pretty much the same across the board, you justify it. Isn't flip-flopping to praise a game a behavior of a mindless zealot?

Pogma9 · A Winner is me!

Explaining the details is just that, nothing more....and btw, I never said Skyrim or any Cunthesda game was perfect, in fact I can't even get FO3 to run properly on my new PC.

Skyrim has the best voice acting of any game I've played, and the best overall GFX as well, plus sound, and it rarely crashes.

If you don't like it, that's cool, but don't waste you're time telling me that other inferior games are somehow better when I can barely stand to play them.

The fact is, you don't like the game, so fuck off and play some crap that sold 1/10th as much as the mighty Skyrim hahahahaahahahah!!!!!!!!!

re=Skyrim.

One of the criteria I use to judge a great game is how it stands up over time, and being that I either do or at least want to regularly play some games, I think that desire to continue playing years after release is without doubt the strongest indicator of what is or isn't a great game, of course, this is only from my POV.

Skyrim and the large open world games all have numerous issues, some of these issues are undeniable, though some are subjective, ie, some will think that FO3 needs more NPC, but others may feel that the numbers are just right and contribute to the wasteland vibe of the game.

When we turn our focus to Skyrim, it also has numerous issues, both objective and subjective, but I've put nearly 500hrs into the game, so it's obviously won me over, bear in mind that after playing Skyrim, I went and bought Oblivion and was hugely disappointed with virtually every aspect of it....it may've been a landmark game in it's day, but after experiencing the vastly improved Skyrim, not to mention FO3's improved Cuntesda's framework, I dumped it.

Burningdickhead whinges about weightless combat, but is the blocking weightless, NO, is the bow fluid and effective, YES, is the magic effective and a MILLION times better than Oblivion, hell YES!!!.....would I have liked more weight to the striking range, of course, but given that I mainly use the bow and The Thum!!!!! it doesn't bother me, though it's not something that can be denied.

The GFX and the sound play a huge role in the visual and audio narrative of the game, but this doesn't seem to matter to some people who play on shitty console or who love/prefer top down turds.....but these critical factors are written off by the real zealots, console zealots, wankers who hate progress and are full of nostalgic bullshit regarding the quality and merits of old turds of games.

I can only judge games I've played, and by that criteria, Skyrim has the best GFX, sound and voice acting, and it now has an excellent difficulty level, ie, Legendary, granted, modders quickly created a higher difficulty mod shortly after the games release, which in my opinion was better, but either way, Skyrim can be played in a casual manner or you can crank up the difficulty and really make all your upgrades worth it.

For me, Skyrim is a great game as I always want to play it, that alone is all I need as proof, but objectively speaking it's also excellent in many regards, but is hardly perfect.

DESTROYED BY TRUTH.....GO FUCK YOUR INFLATABLE GIRLFRIEND AND LOAD UP YOUR BATTERY OPERATED BOYFRIENDS YOU DISGUSTING WEAKMINDED FAGGOTS.

Skyrim only sold as much as it did because Cunthesda overcharges based purely on overhyping the shit out of garbage knowing that putzes like you will buy it. And again, 'that you've played', which just reinforces the previous point: you clearly haven't played a decent game in your life.

Cause we all know: How many idiots paid for it = How good it is. Just like the Twilight books!

In fact, I'll just outright say it: Skyrim is the Twilight of video games.

"I've sank 500+ hours into Skyrim, therefore it is good!" - I guess that makes Farmville Game of the Year material, given how many mindless drones sink their time into that black hole of an excuse for gaming.

I also love that you claim that your criteria for judging a game is whether you want to go back and play it again.. when I hardly know anyone who went back to Skyrim after beating it the first time, because of the boring, repetitive sameshitness of it. And this is excluding the mods, and including the DLC. Because if you need to resort to modding your game to make it replayable, then no, it isn't a good game. It means that the modding community is better at making content than the game is at providing it.
On top of which, you've dismissed just about every game that had replay value based solely on OMGGRAFIXSUCK. So you're not only full of shit, you're also inconsistent and backtracking like crazy on previous points because you're losing ground fast.

You'll of sunk 500+ hours into Skyrim starting a new character over and over again and redoing the same shit over and over again, and playing modded content. Seeing as how the main campaign itself is shorter than the Dawnguard DLC is. And even if we do include the so-called quests, then that's what? 450+ hours of 'run here, kill that guy', 'run here, get this item', with zero roleplaying, across multiple characters. AWESOME AS FUCK.

Baldur's Gate 2 has 200+ hours of meaningful gameplay, roleplay and questing, each quest you have various ways of ending and handling things, with multitudes of highly characteristic and roleplay-oriented dialogue options, many of which are altered by your class or your ability scores. And that's on a single character's playthrough. Not including the 200+ hours additionally from playing the game again, this time with different stats, different classes and different party members, and making different choices.

Skyrim is 'same shit no matter who you are'. Think I'm full of shit? Take the time to grind your stats up, and you can go and do every single quest on the one character, after which, there's fuckall point to play the game again. Ya know why? Cause barely any of that shit has meaningful choice.

But then, I suppose Baldur's Gate doesn't count, because it's an "old game." Because, as we all know, Game of the Year awards only count on games that he thinks they count for, even though Baldur's Gate 2 is a multi-award winning, greatest RPG of all time. "But it's old, so therefore it's shit." Even though Skyrim is also old and dated and runs on an archaic engine. But that don't matter, does it? Just so long as you get to drivel more bullshit about how you're right.

TL;DR: "Graphics are all that matters. Fuck content."

Nowhere in that pile of rambling trite did you state that you cared more about the importance of actual GAME quality than VISUAL quality, which just proves the repeated point: you're not a gamer. You should just stick to watching movies. And it's hilarious how you claim people like us hate progress. Yes, because hating games for going backwards rather than forwards in content makes us hate progress, you fucking idiot.

Fixating on tech isn't progress, tech is always going to evolve. Fixating on tech and placing the actual utilization of tech to create deeper and more involved and innovative gaming experiences in last place is the opposite of progress, it's a regression of the medium. The fact that this has eluded your pea-sized brain just confirms that you're nothing more than a pandering lowest-common-denominator peon who places all of your value on how the book's cover looks, not what's in it.

The games from the 90's are better -not- because of their graphics. They're better because in spite of their dated graphics, they are not only more playable, but also more enjoyable as a medium of gameplay and interactivity rather than the bare bones bollocks of today. That you can't understand this just makes you a sad excuse for a person rather than anything else. I'd feel sorry for you if it wasn't for the fact that you choose to bask and wrap yourself in your ignorance like it was a golden fleece. People like you are what make the gaming industry the shithole it is today

I also love the fact that in the entirity of your rambling, you never once acknowledged the simple fact about Skyrim's lack of replayability beyond mods, its minimalistic content, and overall lacking in comparison to BG2, instead just relying on the same old 'WAH WAH GWAFFIKS' argument yet again.

It's pretty obvious by now that you're incapable of processing legitimate comparison, contrast and criticism.

Because the guy who throws all gaming aspects out the window based purely on 'graffiixx' is clearly an authority.
