What if Skyrim is awful?

[BehattedWanderer]

Laugh all the merrier for buying Saints Row the Third instead. It's Bethesda--hope you like seeing the same four haircuts on women, same faces designed for men, and enough bugs to devour the entire planet's secret stash of sweets.

And the publisher tells them exactly what to develop. Argue all you want but this is simply the truth.

I won't argue with that, because that actually happens to be the truth. But the publisher is still the publisher, and the developer is still the developer. Go to ANY wikipedia page for a game, and it will clearly differentiate the developer from the publisher.

TBH I'm not completely sold on Skyrim. I only played Oblivion for the first time in August, and before that I never played an Elder Scrolls game. I do love Fallout 3 and NV though (the bugs were never that bad for me, so I didn't mind...) but yea. I'll probably wait for a GOTY edition if anything, if I even purchase it.

However, from what I see it at least LOOKS pretty. But I doubt it will fail. There's too much fanboy base for it to possibly tank. It's going to be like God Of War III. A horrible game that everyone swoons for because it's God of War.

Nope, chuck testa

 

[spartan231490]

it won't. obvious truth is obvious. With all the info they've released, I already know it will be good. It might be buggy, which would be sad, but it will def be good.

 

[duchaked]

well I'm not getting it immediately so...guess I'll know by then

 

[Canadamus Prime]

Isn't that a chance we take with every game?

 

[captaincabbage]

turn it back in for saints row 3 or assassins creed.

Yeah, either SR3, or just ave myself the trouble of driving all the way back to the gasme store and commit Sepuku.

 

[dyre]

just wait for mods

that's pretty much it

in fact, I won't even buy the game until it has a decent amount of mods on the nexus, since vanilla bethseda games are never that great

 

[Bob_Dobb]

Same thing we always do mod the hell out of it and use an unofficial patch.

 

[Zeema]

Buy another game instead

or keep playing it. Originally i hated Fallout New Vegas but after a while i pretty much adopted it and it became my son

[over 300 hours played]

 

[SwagLordYoloson]

If it sucks, then i lose $90 and will probably pirate their next games. Im sick of companies hyping games up so much then letting me down. Its bullshit.

But im pretty optimistic that it will be good.

 

[baconbaby299]

While I have complete respect for Bethesda's judgement if it does get nobbed up I'll go to Arkham City or Saints Row 3

 

[Yugeky20]

I'd be very surprised from the gameplay traliers and released information it seems like it could be a very good and replayable game... But if it sucks then I shall have to beat me head against the floor until mine brain f**ks up and all I see is a great game.

 

[Denamic]

Rather impossible by this point.
Going by the information provided and the footage seen, it's already glorious.
Even if the main questline sucks balls, it's going to be great.
I mean, Oblivion was a great game that I have many fond memories of, and its combat system sucked and the main questline was atrocious.
Skyrim cannot fail with its formula.

 

[Yopaz]

I will laugh so much. Then I will gloat to everyone who's already nominated it for game of the year of 2011.

 

[Giest118]

What do you mean, "if"?

 

[harvz]

If its awful, then its awful.
Bethesda seem to be fairly good at engines (with bugfixes), leaving a modding community and i mean have you ever seen those guys? I'm going to be starting game development and i call these guys absolutely insane.

 

[SL33TBL1ND]

Don't even care, not buying.

 

[lacktheknack]

Be glad I didn't get TOO hyped for it.

I'll avoid the game forums for a couple weeks, though.
