CoD, BF3. What about Skyrim?

[Spartan10k]

3 hours in, already shaping up to be a contender for the best game I've ever played.

I hate you. I can't play till I get home from work tomorrow..........

I've pre loaded Skyrim last night, so i was rather surprised when i finally pressed on the play button and Steam began downloading the entire game again...

Gonna wait until tomorrow, as it's going to be at least another hour.

That was only a partial preload, there is a lot more to it.

why should anyone buy bf3? if i put it side by side with ghost recon its almost identical only that gr has a lot more quality

Skyrim = even more casual than Oblivion

Skyrim is 300+ hours long per playthrough, casual gamers can't last more then 2 hours.

[kawaiku]

They designed Oblivion to be more casual no?

Yeah but you don't get to roll with the MPN group that plays bf3 here regularly.

There was a beta tester who was able to finish Skyrim in around 2 hours though.

Yeah I heard the same thing about playing Morrowind and Oblivion's main quests. Elder Scrolls games imho, are structured around the world of Tamriel and not the main story. Sure it's there but focusing on the main story, while nice, misses the entire point of the game. And that is killing things with a mighty axe, drinking mead, and ****ing digital t!ts.

Hi Kawaiku,

I see what you're saying, and for some stupid reason, it kind of dawned on me that maybe the main questlines are meant to be the in-house Campaign, as it were, akin to CoD's campaign vs its multiplayer element ie. bigger side questing in OB/Skyrim.

But, this is probably just dumb pizza/beer/tired Friday fuelled thinking which has absolutely no bearing to real world scenario.

BTW, haven't been able to play too much, but I am loving it!

[b0sco]

Ya ****s, I'm still stuck at work. At least it's preloaded.

[Bauer_CTU]

Hey, I thought you got the day off?

[b0sco]

Naaah, turned out only half of it. But that's fine.
