I say 3 months. Here's the time table of Skyrims hype:

First few hours.YAY SKYRIM MAN THIS GAME IS SO AWESOME:

15 hours into the game, games good man:


40 hours into the game, "there sure is alot of Fed Ex fetch quests"


After finishing the main quest, "eh, was cool I guess"

3 months later, "Man Skyrim was disappointing. Laughable story and dialog, crap ton of bugs, tons of fetch quest and assassin quests, contradictions to previous Elder Scroll games, mediocre lore, just meh".

6 months later whenever someone talks about it, "Skyrim was garbage, worse than Oblivion! Dumbed down peice of consolized crap. CDProjekt ftw!"

Skyrim in a nutshell:

Thoughts? Discuss. :P

I give this thread a -1/10 for even comparing it to Oblivion.

Daggerfall > Morrowind > Arena > Oblivion. I don't count the side games. About 14 hours into Skyrim and it is already better than Oblivion. We shall see how far it gets on my scale.

you can have an opinion on the game, but when you relentlessly bash it and attack people for liking it and make an attempt to convert people into hating it you are crossing a boundary. what other reason is there for this thread's existence than stoking rage? this could have happily gone in the official thread, but oh wait--you already got outlawed out of that one.

People who didn't like Oblivion didn't like it from the beginning. Same will apply to Skyrim.

Yea I remember the feud of what was better Two Worlds vs Oblivion and Morrowind vs Oblivion

Was apart of the Morrowind vs Oblivion, I lost faith in Bethesda after Oblivion and Fallout NV, Skyrim has re sparked my love for them.

Are you seriously joking with the game of the century comment.Skyward Sword can't be really compared to Skyrim because they both come from different genres.

I don't think that will happen, atleast not to the extent of hatred that Oblivion gets. I've heard positive things said about Skyrim from just about everyone, including from people who disliked Oblivion. Seems like Beth got it right this time around.
