Poll: Skyrim VS. MW3

[a ginger491]

What in the hell?

That's like asking if people like Metallica or Beyonce.

I for one am protesting this poll. Who's with me?

I am

Well since I haven't played either, I do not know. I am going to guess Skyrim, but that is because it is a large game with a lot of stuff to do, while Modern Warfare 3 has a 5 hour or so story and a multiplayer I am not too fond of.

Apples. And Oranges. Heard of it? Just say this whenever you hear the argument. It's obvious. They are both exactly as good as each other. People just enjoy one rather than the other. That said, i voted for Skyrim.

I really like Skyrim . I am biased because I strongly dislike most military shooters

 

[marurder]

I don't think you can reasonably compare these two games. They are completely different styles trying to achieve different things to their audience.

Oh for fucks sake, this is not only a versus thread, it's a totally shit versus thread. You just cannot compare the two, outside of both being games. It's illogical. You want an online fast paced shooter? MW3. You want one of the best games of the year? Skyrim.

Ahh, but you see, you just answered his question. He isn't asking for a comparison, and which one is better. You labelled MW3 as simply an 'online fast paced shooter', and Skyrim as 'one of the best games of the year'. Technicalities!

Honestly MW3 has spawned less annoying fanboys than Skyrim has, so MW3, even though I haven't even played that damn game yet.

....does anyone else see anything wrong with this statement?

considering that MW3 is the highest grossing THING in existence, i would say it has more fans and (therefore fanboys) than Skyrim ever could.

the fact that you even haven't played the game just proves your ignorance.

YOU sir, are a MORON

I didn't say more fanboys, I said more ANNOYING fanboys. I'd rather listen to a 14-year old raving about his noscope super 1337 headshot one kill bullshit for a day than read one more arrow to the knee '''''''''''''''''''''joke'''''''''''''''''''' or hear one more argument why that broken, unimmersive piece of shit Skyrim should get Game of the Year.

Personally, I would rather listen to another Arrow to the Knee joke than see one more MW3 fanboy proclaim MW3 as the second coming of Christ, and the best game ever to grace the world. Yeah, there are some Skyrim fans who do that too, but from the number of fans of each the MW3 ones are far more numerous.

It also really depends on what you find annoying. I don't mind the Arrow to the Knee jokes so much, as they are meant as comedy, albeit very bad comedy (I used to be bad at comedy like...), whilst the Best game to grace the Earth sort of stuff is just plain arrogant.

I voted for MW3 simply because this is a completely silly question to ask. You're comparing one of the most loved games against one of the most hated, on these forums. Surely you knew this, yet you did it anyway. O_O Not to mention they're two completely different games with two completely different goals.

And it's not about the story and how immersed you become. It's about what you prefer. Many people don't play games for stories or immersion. Surely you knew this.

Seriously, you can't compare an RPG with an FPS, they're completely different genres!

 

[blizzaradragon]

Biased OP is biased. Just saiyan.

In all seriousness though you can't say one game is better than the other. It all comes down to personal preference. I know a good amount of people who would choose Skyrim, and I know a good amount of people who would choose MW3. It all comes down to what you look for in a game. Like single player games with a good amount of depth? Choose Skyrim. Like games that have a huge focus on multi player? Choose MW3.

Can't get simpler than that.

There was a time when versus threads were highly frowned upon here.

As far as I know, that still applies.
But only if people bring the threads to their attention.

 

[Kakashi on crack]

wait a second, 8 people actually think CoD is better than Skyrim? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

That's... that's hilarious, I'm going to take a random guess and say that half of those 8 were singing the troll song when they chose, and the other half misclicked

 

[Electrogecko]

Let's all work really hard to keep this in the popular threads section!


Seriously though, I haven't played either game, but Skyrim's fans are bugging me more recently. I'm planning on getting Skyrim, but every single arrow to the knee joke or glitch story I hear makes me want it less and less.

You can't really have an objective debate between the two because they couldn't be more different. Skyrim is a sandbox, MW3 is linear, Skyrim is single-player, MW3 is mostly multiplayer, etc etc. It's kind of like comparing cupcakes and dirty pictures, both are excellent at what they fulfill but if your mind is dictating you want one the other one won't seem very appealing at the time.

I'm partial to Skyrim, if only because it has more options, paths and rewards for replay even if it wouldn't last as long as MW3's multiplayer would [insert Einstein's insanity quote here] - but that's because I like sandboxes more than linear games on the whole.
