Skyrim fail - Why don't you like it?

No, as this thread is probably a good reason why the developers made Skyrim a single player, you're all hyenas, as soon as someone voices an opinion that you all disagree with, you eat them alive.

Like I said, if you like it go play it, if you dislike it then please, you are more than welcome in this thread

It's nothing to do with the game, it's to do with the fact you made a thread solely for disliking the game despite having never played it. Why do you care about what other people think of something you don't even have? It's like me popping over to dollchat.com or something and asking them why they don't like the new Barbie doll even though I'm male and haven't touched a doll since I was an infant.

You haven't played it, therefore you're not entitled to an opinion, ergo you should not be posting in your own thread.

Actually we're reasonable, but you haven't disclosed any valid reason to why you dislike the game. Which is why we're rather dumb founded at the moment.

He has better things to do than play games, such as try and troll people on a forum.

So in other words, he's an incredibly sad individual.

If you like the game fine, go play it, leave the 2 of us to bitch about how bad we think it is.

You said you haven't played it. What exactly could you bitch about with knowing what it's like?

I'd understand you wanting to express your disappointment if you were looking forward to it and you had played to no joy, but you even said you didn't like morrowmind so why start a thread pointing out the flaws in a game that you haven't even played and didn't like the earlier titles of?

You don't need to have played a game to have an opinion on it. Just like I've never driven an Audi but I have an opinion on them

wow I think for the first time ever on these boards britboy has been beaten for the most stupid thread and comments ever.

dude your are massive idiot, you start a thread on a game you havent plaued, somehow seeking people to say how much they hate the game (again a game you havent played or cant even understand in what seemingly must be a small brain of yours)

-but it backfired didnt it? because lots are people are playing this for a reason - bc its bloody awesome and any complaints we may have of the game are so insignificant compared to the rest of the game that its not even worth mentioning.

The RPGs I have enjoyed the most:

Baldurs Gate 1 / 2
Morrowind
Guild Wars
Skyrim

The RPGs that were good, but not as great as the ones above:

NWN 1+2
Sacred 1+2
Gothic 1-3
DAO
Witcher 1+2
DDO

RPGs that are pure suckage compared to the above:

EVERYTHING ELSE :mad:

I never said you don't have an opinion, I told you that you're not entitled to the opinion you think you have.

If you don't see how Skyrim, of all games, is a good RPG there is no hope for you. You probably just don't like RPGs at all, which I'm fairly sure you admitted at one point, rendering this entire thread completely redundant.

The point of the thread was to give an opportunity to the RPG lovers to engage and initiate the uninitiated into the joys of your genre. Instead you called him names, met him with incredulity ("how can anyone possibly not see the craft of our game, who is not surely a moron?") and belittled his intelligence and taste. I'd say those posts are redundant.

It's not that I dislike RPG's I just havent found what I would consider a good one yet.

What would you consider the requirements of a good RPG to be?

Thread title- Skyrim Fail - Why Don't You Like it?

I could see this thread being more of a success if there was valid reason to hate on the game (other than the clunky ui) but it's actually a really well rounded game. Gameplay, music, effects, re-playability and the fact that everytime I switch the game on I find myself saying out loud ... "wooo look at that, oh that looks cool, i wan't to go there"

Give it a try Jay, you may just end up hooked on it.

Edit: Just to add to that. Not many single player games offer 10 hours of gameplay let alone the 100+ that skyrim offers. So from a purely entertainment vs cost scale this ranks pretty damn high.

This comes from the guy who say's everygame with a story is rubbish. Only games worth playing are games with guns frags. everything else don't waste your time and read a book instead. He has not even read the first page of the thread, if he has then I have no idea what to say to him.

No it wasn't, it was to bitch and moan about a game he hasn't even played:

So I thought I'd offer a place for people to talk about why they dislike the game.

You are being trolled harder than anybody here by the OP.

He has since changed his OP. His original post was negative and defensive. He asked why people didn't like it, not why people did and in the same breath asked to be convinced to play it.

To start on a negative will only get him negative responses.
