Skyrim has aged REALLY poorly.
"Really poorly" is a tad hyperbolic. The game certainly has aged and you can tell how paper thin many of the gameplay features are. But, I think the core gameplay is still pretty solid and you definitely do have an assortment of options in how you approach objectives and plenty of freedom in exploring the world
No it hasn't.
It's actually on it's way to achieve "Classic" status.
I just started skyrim for the first time in December. Stealth archer obviously and then a mage character. I've been surprised how much fun it is. Clearly lacks depth in a lot of areas but damn there is a lot of it. Definitely think I missed out on playing it when it was released.
Skyrim is great.
Losers with poor taste tend to hate on it because it's popular and they think "game x" should have more recognition.
I mean so have most games from 2011. There are definitely exceptions but the vast majority aren't like we thought they were at the time
How many other games from 2011 just got re-re-re-released on the Switch 2 for a full $60, though?
Without mods I can kinda see it. With mods I still enjoy it a lot.
There's a series of mods where you can change the combat into something very souls like. Combos, lock on, dodging, etc. It's kinda complicated to set up though but it breaths a lot of new life into the game
Bethesda has a tendency to take features from popular mods for their previous games to improve future titles. Skyrim's combat, for example, is heavily inspired by the Deadly Reflex mod for Oblivion. I wouldn't be surprised if TES 6 cribs the Souls-like combat formula due to those mods' popularity.
yeah swinging swords makes that cheap metallic noise. Quests don't have the pull that we expect them to. None of the characters are interesting. No continuity with quests. I notice the bugs that Tod Howard never fixed but re-released with bigger textures, which only makes the greed more palpable.
Starting in December of 2011.
What does this even mean?
It means that like most mediocre games, this one had a short half life as a good game, regarding its overall quality.
IMHO, it was never even decent. Also, I strongly fellate Morrowind and the Gothic series, so yeah.
As one should.
es3*?
I played Oblivion but it never really came into my mouth.
Er, yes 3. That's what I meant.
ay!
