First half-hour of Skyrim leaked, GOTY confirmed

I assume you had a gif but I think it's broken or unlinked.

Here it is:

Yeah, you can see it on Daily Motion. They havent taken it down yet.

Graphics look pretty horrible, the shadows are laughable... those animations look stiff as hell, better than Oblivion though, voice acting sucks aswell. Good thing the PC version will look wonderful after a month wen the modders fix this game. A year from now wen i'm gonna get it, it'll be perfect.

That was very underwhelming. Waiting until complete edition with mods confirmed.

Maybe if we were in 2005 it would be GOTY, but with games like Dark SOuls around will be lucky to get game of the month

Looks like an exact copy of Oblivion

Its the 3rd page where you have posted exactly the same hate in a row lol. You really are a hater are you not?

Wow I can't believe how lousy it looks. The voice acting is giving Shenmue a run for its money.

People are looking at this game from the wrong angle. Of course this game is not going to have amazing animation or voice acting, but that is not its main focus. This isn't uncharted or mass effect, this is elder scrolls. Its about exploring a beautifully created world with fun quests and tasks, not an amazing combat system or visuals. And of course that world cannot be shown off in half an hour, or be shown period - it needs to be played. All the countless previews have had nothing but positive things to say about it. Sure, it will have more negatives that any other game released, but also more positives. When I hear people say that the reviewers ignored all the faults with Oblivion, the simple answer is they didn't - its just that everything good about drowns out everything else. If you are the kind of person who looks for faults in a game, prepare to be disappointed. Its as simple as that. A game of this scope is not aiming for perfection. but for entertainment.Belwar555

I would rather replay Dark Souls TBH, since entertainment for me is directly linked to its amazing combat system and exploration

Skyrim has the exploration, but in a more generic way (more ground to cover, but with more basic desing than DS) and the combat is mediocre

So, why buy Skyrim with Dark Souls around ? I will probably wait for a price drop

While I agree that open world RPGs shouldn't be held to as high a standard as something more linear and polished, this is a massively budgeted (and massively hyped) sequel to an extremely popular game - there's no real excuse for the floating characters and jerky animations in the opening ten minutes of cutscenes.

Previews almost always say positive things about games. It's rare to find negative ones, especially for expensive games (review sites don't exactly want to anger the source of their advertising revenue streams).

And I only partially agree about your take on Oblivion's reviews - I think the reviewers were blind to the games' many faults because they do leave genuinely good first impressions. It's only after you stop and think about it that Bethesda's games start falling apart at the seams (rapidly and forcefully).

I was hoping that Skyrim would really improve upon the narrative and the writing... but it seems that Bethesda is putting the main quest on a backburner, once again. And the combat still lacks impact. Enemies don't stagger back at all. It's like a bunch of toy plushies fighting.

Voice acting is okay. Not bad, but really good either. I don't think the voice actors were given much direction on how to read their lines. Animation is still mediorce. There is no story.

I'm still picking it up, but I guess it's up to me to fill in the blanks with my own imagination... just like the old days...

I recall most of the actual game time in Oblivion was running in empty grounds and same dungeons and Oblivion towers, so it is not that different of a case

These are all true statements.

Oblivion was a heavily flawed game and no doubt Skyrim will be as well.

Bethesda has their heart in the right place...but they can never seem to release a finished product.

i dont know how people are still commenting on it, when i checked 3 hours ago, the content had been removed, yet somehow everyone can seemingly still see and hear this video?sts106mat

[QUOTE="Just-Breathe"]I don't understand the hate. It looks fine to me and I don't find anything particularly wrong with the voice acting. Maybe I'm easily impressed?sts106mat

Someone posted another link.

Ahhh! It looks so amazing! I need to switch my pre-order to PS3 though, I don't have enough room on my 360 harddrive to install it! :(

i don't understand whats with all the complaining, that looked awesome, granted that animation right before that guy got beheaded was pretty shameful, it still looked good. Looking forward to this

I will say that somehow the atmosphere was decent. However, you must realize that this is a sequel to Oblivion, which was a LAUNCH title. It has been in the works for a long time. Personally I don't care much as these types of games aren't my cup of tea, but for those that are a tad let down that have been looking forward to it, I can understand the disappointment. The game may turn out alright, but it certainly looks like a budget title.

The Elder Scrolls is a fantastic series only because Bethesda gives modders a world to expand and improve on.

It's almost like Bethesda deliberately keeps their games unfinished just so the modders can come in and go to the moon with new additions to pretty much everything.

...Kind of like Minecraft.

Nope, and that's why you should never, ever, buy The Elder Scrolls for consoles, unless you want a heavily flawed, gimped experience.

I still don't think games should be released unfinished, but I agree that without a doubt this is one game to play on the pc. It just looks sort of glitchy.

Says it was deleted, any other link or am I doing something wrong?
