>The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has sold over 60 million copies worldwide as of June 2023, making it the seventh best-selling video game of all time.

I hate Skyrim so much it's unreal. Literally the worst game Bethesda has ever made and it sells the most

Fancy elaborating or are you here to be a contrarian tard?

Worst timeline.
>>
>>725998746
The easiest way to weed out contrarian faggots like you is to ask them their opinion on Skyrim
>>
>>725998746
Yeah I can't take you seriously when Bethesda has made garbage like Fallout 4, 76, and Saarfield. Skyrim is a fucking breath of fresh air after playing those steaming piles of shit.
>>
>>726002820
Yeah. It seems everyone on this site is contrarian just for the sake of it. How have you not noticed that?

Why did Oblivion open this gate?

Oblivion is the worst TES game. Ill die on this hill. The quests arent even THAT good. Skyrim improved the exploration and world building big time.
>>
>>726011457
Garbage with sprinkles is still garbage.

That would be Fagout 76, then Shartfield, then Fallout 4, from worst to least worst.
Skyrim and Fallout 3 were great
>>
>>726011646
>shit, vomit and puke are terrible, but urine and pus were great
>>
>>726011703
But Skyrim and Fallout 3 are none of those things though? Even Fallout 4 while incredibly forgettable I would still hesitate to call outright "bad", you just gotta treat it as a sandbox looter shooter and pretend there isn't "Fallout" written on the title
>>
>>726011876
Every Bethesda game is fucking terrible, if you think otherwise, you should probably kill yourself.

>now
The game had one of the most hyped up releases of all time and like you said it sold like hotcakes. Hating Skyrim has always been the contrarian opinion, that's what contrarian means.
>>
as long as we are hating on bethesda i just want to say that i dislike their game design philosophies
>play it forever!
i would rather it be designed to be as fun as possible the first time. if everything is procedural then it cheapens the exploration experience because there is less reason to explore 1 area over another if both give random loot based on your level.
>we dont want players to feel like they made a mistake with their character
if nothing matters then nothing is interesting and it makes the game overall much less fun.
>cut out character building options for players because its too confusing to look at stats
but then they have like 8 different ways to get % damage stat and turn the game into a stat check with those and kill cams as well.
The obvious, and more intelligent solution would have been to make a stat system more similar to fallout where attributes dont go that high and are easily conveyed to the player.
>immersive towns with voiced NPCs
sure, normies love it, fine. but i dislike how it makes it so there is less dialog overall and less unique NPCs because everything has to be voiced and scripted to have a daily life or whatever. Its more immersion breaking to not be able to ask an NPC where their spouse is when i need them for a quest and they wander off than it is for that same person to always be standing in their living room. also it gets old how every NPC is voiced by the same 5 actors

Easy to explain, because there is simply nothing else like it.

>character creator
>first and third person
>be in base
>sort out gear and grab what you need
>open map and pick location or quest
>head out
>2 minutes later something to fight
>2 minutes later something to explore
>2 minutes later something to interact with
>2 hours later
>completed 2 quests
>explored 1 dungeon
>looted 2 new pieces of gear
>encountered a new companion
>now you are at your target location to do what you actually wanted to do
>do the thing
>you've played the game for 4 hours and return to your base
>do some maintenance, eat, sleep, head out again

Bethesda are, or were, the king of that particular kind of game simply because they have no competition. Nobody else, in the whole industry, has the ability, or desire, to make that kind of game and do it well with that level of content density.

Starfield could have been the next big mega seller but Bethesda just kinda forgot the whole content density angle that Skyrim and Oblivion had. The fact that the vast majority of Starfields planets were simply not worth exploring is what killed that game and if Bethesda can avoid making that same mistake twice then their next game is going to be a legit mega seller like Skyrim and Fallout 4.
>>
>>726013678
There’s nothing else like it because nobody is as retarded as any given Bethesda employee.
>>
>>726013786
why don't you recommend your favourite games
>>
>>726013786
True. Even Bethesda's most retarded employee is a genius when compared to other developers.
>>
>>726013581
the only thing about the game that was designed well was the music. The gameplay was designed poorly every step of the way. its the ultimate "babies first" RPG game, if you actually start to criticize it you will be able to point out major flaws in every feature, the emperor has no cloths.

>>
>>725998746
I don't think you understand just how much gamers grew in numbers in the 2007-2013 period. Before that it was still a niche nerd hobby.
Social media opened the floodgates to hundreds of millions of new players, and most of them started with CoD 4-6, Skyrim or GTAV.
For loads and loads of players, Skyrim was their first open world game, their first 'rpg', their first dialogue system, first companions, etc.
Morrowind, GTA 3, Deus Ex didn't exist for them.

Man, you really seem to know a lot of random jeet names. You probably heard them being said at the poop festival.

Nah, just read the credits for Skyrim.

I read it, didn't see a single jeet name. Are you so poop-brained that you're now seeing hallucinations? My condolences.

when are you going to recommend good games?

I heard there was an anon in here recommending games to play?
>>
The crazy thing is that most of the criticisms of skyrim are correct, but also, just no one has done it better, or even tried. It doesn't even like any game company has ever tried to compete with the immersiveness and simulation of Bethesda RPGs.

name a better RPG than skyrim

There's far too many options.
>>
>>725998746
Amazing considering that Skyrim has the same floaty diceroll combat as Morrowind.
>>
>>726002765
Filling the future with worthless unemployed disgusting subhuman eaters is perhaps the most realistic part of the game.

Is it really a cop-out when it's easier to find an RPG better than Shitrim than it is to find one worse (excepting, of course, Starfield)?
>>
>>726011457
Based. Skyrim and Morrowind have amazing worlds, far better than Oblivion's rendition of Cyrodiil
>>
>>726013987
not an answer coward

>>726017606
go on
>>
>>725998746
better than Morrowind
>dude mushrooms and shit!
Skyrim has best dungeons, best world bosses with dragon encounters and that is a simple fact. Yea some of the levelling was dummyfied but it's still the best ES experience hands down
>>
>>726017809
Any Ultima game, any Wizardry game, any Might and Magic game, any Dungeons and Dragons licensed game, any Final Fantasy game, any Dragon Quest game, any Diablo game, etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Fuck's sake, even any given Pokemon game is better than Shitrim. Now, how about you find an RPG that's worse than Shitrim, with the caveat that it can't be any other Bethshitsda title, because that's cheating.
>>
>>726018179
any good open-world first-person fantasy action RPGs?
>>
>>726018003
Wrong.
>>
>>726018305
Mount and Blade: Warband.
>>
>>726011457
>>726017621
Skyrim's world is just as bland as Oblivion's, but with viking paint instead of tolkien paint.

At least Oblivion had color and funny npcs.
>>
>>726018179
None of these games do what skyrim does

JRPGs aren't RPGs

>>725998746
I've come full circle on Skyrim. I bought the hype back during the original release, and over time, my opinion of the game got more negative. But during a replay last year, I was genuinely impressed with it again. There are no companies making games that outshine Skyrim in what it does best. Not even Bethesda.
