Abstract: Let it be known now, I'm a busy guy. Between cosplay, side jobs, and taking care of a needy girlfriend, there really isn't a lot of time in my life for my other love…video games. I'll also say that recently I've become quite unfaithful with said girlfrien...
Abstract: We should have acted. They’re already here. The Elder Scrolls told of their return. Their defeat was merely a delay, to the time after Oblivion opened, when the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood. But no one wanted to believe… believe they even...
The praise Skyrim has received is well justified, and although I'm generally not an RPG fan, I must admit to having some fun. The graphics are impressive, particularly considering how much detail the outdoor scenes contain and how well the game runs o...
Abstract: The tantalizingly brief Skyrim teaser trailer debuted by Bethesda Softworks late last year filled my mind with visions of titanic battles between man and beast; of shining steel bathed in ancient flames; of a champion rising from humble origins, prepa...
Mayhem and wonder can lurk behind every bend, every hill, and every mountain; main quest line is an improvement from Oblivion; dualwielding and Shouts make combat more fun; enchanting, making potions, and crafting weapons is easy, and for some, likely quite enjoyable.
Technical issues could ruin moments for some players; it's too easy to go into "sneak" mode when backing up with the control stick. I've been playing the PC version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on my home PC, which has an Intel i7 950 processor running at 3.07 GHz with 6GB of RAM and two HD 5770 videocards running in Crossfire. After 34 hours of playing Skyrim, I've noticed a number of things
As you can see, I can't complain about Skyrim for too long without starting to compliment it again. It's an excited, engaging, epic tale with you at the centre. There are a number of complaints, a few bugs and the odd crash, but nothing that can't be fixe...
vast, vast world to explore, dungeons and caves are wonderfully differentiated, graphics and sound are for the most part incredible to behold,
Combat isn’t very visceral, and victories and losses feel unearned, Menus and interface are terrible, While the world is wide open, most quests and dungeons are very linear, Bugs abound, especially with physics
Despite the serious faults in many of the game mechanics, Skyrim is a triumph because what it succeeds in outweighs those flaws (which may be fixed by patches and mods) by an enormous amount. The world is the richest and most lovingly created that I’ve...
Abstract: The game places you in humble beginnings. You are, to no surprise for people familiar with the Elder Scrolls series, a prisoner when the game begins. Events unfold, a dragon tries to eat you, and suddenly you are a prisoner no more. This is where pla...
Yet overall, Skyrim does deliver a profound experience. The main storyline is interesting enough to make you want to see it through to the end, and the sometimes random encounters you will have with dragons will keep things exciting and bursting out o...
A revamped leveling system allows for more streamlined play, The graphics are out of this world for an Elder Scrolls game, and for any game of this type, The narrative is top of the line, and easily puts this in my GotY list
The combat mechanics can be somewhat off – especially when fighting brain dead AI, Your followers are just a brain dead as the enemies, Skills need to be weighted differently to make it more of an enjoyable experience
For RPG fans, this is definitely Game of the Year material – especially if you're a fan of the Elde...
