Six reasons to avoid Skyrim

Console Domination writes: Dave takes a tongue in cheek look at Skyrim, and here's what he had to say: "I'm quite excited right now, for you see I just had the privilege of playing the new Elder Scrolls game, Skyrim, and well I thought I'd share my first impressions. Though before I begin, I first want to say that I have never gotten into any Elder Scrolls game – ever – and have only played a handful of Skyrim so far, so I'm full of bias and misinformation but don't let that stop you from reading on."

'Raise a giraffe farm
Travel back in time to give myself a high five
Dig a hole and poop in the woods
Fly to the Moon'

What the hell have u been smoking author of this article.

Do you know how to be critical at all?

When another reviewer mentions 'freedom' in the game, he/she definitely draws an expected line somewhere. It does not mean one has the freedom to do literally anything and everything.

If it fell short of your expectations, please mention so with appropriate reasoning but do not criticise the game because you cannot do whatever you want. When Crysis 1 was applauded for its freedom of movement and tactical approach it did not mean that one could fly or teleport.

I understand that your's is not a review but why encourage baseless opinion based blogs. There are already enough nonsensical articles on N4G, please do not contribute any further.

I think you might be taking it all a little too literally. You do realize what tongue in cheek means right? Its not a serious article, just a little fun at the titles expense.

What an attention whore article, of course you'll want to avoid the Game of the Year that have 96% score out of 100 in 400 reviews

I may be a fanboy, but telling gamers to avoid Skyrim is like telling guitar players to avoid Iron Maiden. It is downright disrespect to one of the best game ever made.

"1. The Animations are Terrible"
Nope, it is not. I have played through many, many games and Skyrim animations are pretty fine compared to a lot.

"2. Combat"
You have choice between dozens of combinations. If melee doesn't do it for you, go ranged. An opinion has nothing to do in the critic of a game, it can't be proven right or wrong.

"3. Cliché"
It's a fantasy game? Every single fantasy games have been some cliché of LOTR then, I assume. The fact it ; the general fantasy world have been shaped by Tolkien and Peter Jackson, it is now the default base to start a fantasy world and this is generally recognised. If you wanna play Fallout, play Fallout

"4. Fanboyism"
Who are you to say it's "unwarranted"? This is again a clueless opinion no one cares about. Doesn't have it's place in a critic. Try to give some facts instead, I praise this game not because I am blindly following everything Bethesda does, but because it's actually a fucking epic game that incorporates most things I expected from the fifth episode of The Elder Scrolls.

"5. Because it's an Elder Scrolls game"
Again, an opinion no one cares about. Opinions are neither true or false.

"6. HDD space on my Computer"
Lol you had a hard time finding your 6th points huh?

Such a trash article. I could, on the other hand, find you more than 20 facts that would convince someone to play this game.

Spangalore5272d ago

Again, you are taking it too literally - we all love Skyrim, its not a serious article its a bit of fun which seems to have gone over the head of a few people. Anyway, take it easy champ, wouldn't want anyone to lose sleep over it.

NorthernChild105272d ago

I don't feel bad about destroying trash articles, I'd even say that I enjoy doing it. I am just using the comment function as it's supposed to be used ; to comment about something you agree or disagree about.

Not gonna lose sleep over this, but I felt it was right to give props to Bethesda for their latest masterpiece

they can't get a 14 year old game to run smoothly?

jjb1981156d ago

That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
