I second Skyrim being boring, I played it once and barely lasted 10 minutes, utter turd.
You gave it a good go then?

You have to be a certain kind of person or at least a certain kind of gamer to enjoy Skyrim. I have poured countless hours into it, as well as the Fallout games.
I get immersed in them.![]()

10 minutes was long enough, I have a short attention span and if a game doesn't interest in me that space of time then it's not for me, I was more into the Fallout series than Oblivion.
Its not so much about having a short attention span, I have ADD for example
Its more that if you don't become immersed in the game, then the action is incredibly spaced out and slow, and you have to do a lot of mundane things like trudging about the countryside until you encounter something entertaining. If you do become immersed, then you start to think that all the mundane tasks are worth it because there will be some action as a result.
I find it fantastic to play because I can detach myself from reality and "become" the character from the game. That was actually a bit of a problem when I played Fallout 3, I was slightly addicted.![]()
Exactly what I mean about attention span, having to trawl about for miles before anything happened was repetitive for me, I like all out action there and then, I am very impatientFallout was similar in that sense, but I don't know what it was about that series, the post-apocalyptic nature and the weapons etc.
You must have quit Half Life when still on the tram![]()
