Also if Skyrim is not the pinnacle of open world RPGs what is?
Minecraft.
Minecraft, that game where you do nothing in particular. Try again.
You certainly have an odd definition of "nothing"...
There's no aim. Everything is for it's own gain. In Skyrim, everything you do contributes to something else. There are consequences and new choices and such. Minecraft....you dig shit up. Sometimes you build with it. Occasionally it blows up.
Don't get me wrong. I own a perfectly legitimate copy of the game myself - I like to play it with my brother, but it's certainly not the pinnacle of open-world gaming. I would have to agree with the journalist, that Skyrim IS the pinnacle. Until it's toppled by a superior in the future, which will happen, naturally, so why not just accept a good thing for what it is, instead of arguing that some 8-bit blockbuster (get it?) is somehow superior.
Alright. Arguing with my own points. I would kill for a very limited multiplayer in Skyrim. I don't mean multiplayer modes. I mean the game with a co-op buddy. Maybe not even co-op. Just another player in the world. Though invite-only. Last thing want is random dicks showing up.
THEN I would accept Skyrim as the greatest thing to happen to gaming. Ever. Minecraft is only superior in its multiplayer.
