Why Does Skyrim Make Other Games Feel Boring?

I was playing Batman AC and stopped playing to get my skyrim on. Next day I was playing AC revelations and stopped playing that game to play Skyrim. Started watching a reallygood movie and again I stopped to play skyrim. Skyrim, why are you so fun to play?

While I love Skyrim a lot I think The Witcher 2 makes it feel boring.

But Skyrim does have a gargantuan amount of things to do

My guess would be that since Skyrim has so much to do, you never feel as if it's finished and want to keep playing it.

you are right,that it doesnt feel finished.That was Bethsedas intention all along as the PS3 version proves it.

Because you heard the call of the Greybeards and goddamn it you are going to answer it.

Patch 1.4 fixed it. Game runs silky smooth now and is a beautiful thing to behold.

hmm, I think you need to play The Witcher 2. Every rpg I played after my Witcher 2, felt like weak sauce to me. I love stories, meaningful choice and consequence, I love richly detailed lore and character development and witcher 2 had all that in spades.

I like (not love) skyrim, it's great game, BUT, I demand more from my rpgs. I play skyrim for the exploration and dicking around with powers. I play the Witcher 2 for the immersion, character, story, lore, npcs and the awesome combat.

Play it now!!!

The memes came from the game. they didn't add them into the game cos they were on the internet. Not their fault they turned into memes.

Also you can't compare the souls games to Skyrim. They are similar in ways but so very different in others. The souls games are obviously better but Skyrim is still good

I don't really have anything against Dark Souls tbh.

It happens to me all the time aswell.

Well, it´s because theres allways one more dungeon to explore, one more quest to complete, one more skill to improve....

but Skyrim IS boring.

rumbalumba

No so sir, darkwing duck is boring.

LOL!

Clearing dungeons over and over again is NOT fun.

Skyrim was great for about 2 weeks, then it became insanely boring. I have the same experience with every Bethesda game. I absolutely love them for a couple weeks and play them to death. Then suddenly they become insanely tedious. Once you've explored everywhere and seen pretty much everything. Those questionable mechanics suddenly become a little dry by themselves.

Because Skyrim set your standards so high, it was difficult for other games to meet them.

Doesnt change the fact that Skyrim is a piece of ****, with little variety in its content and nothing in it is anything more than unremarkable.

It's engrossing is what it is, it provides a ton of replayability. However I got tired of the game later on, but I recently got back into it again with my new mage type charecter. Magic is easily the best gameplay style in this game.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"]ive played 140+ hours and haven't played in a few weeks. im a little burnt out. with reckoning right now(not even close to being on the same level as skyrim) and ME3 around the corner i might not go back until they release some DLC[/QUOTE,

I hope the DLC will add a new area, I would like them to add new provinces that you could explore freely. I don't know if your aware but you can actually get outside the map in Skyrim and go to the other provinces (on PC though), and there are some things that are rendered outside Skyrim, like you can see White Gold tower in Cyrodil for instance, and Red Mountain in Morrowind. Why would they render this if you can't get there? I'm guessing they'll release it later as DLC or something.

I would link but GS won't let me today for some stupid reason.

How similar is to Obvlivion?I honestly find Obvlivion to be a little boring and lifeless.

Michael0134567

It's alot better than Oblivion, it's not full of repititive dungeons and bad leveling system. The charecter models are much more improved but they still act kinda stiff, but all the skills in Skyrim are useful. No more useless crap like Mysticism, and the world of Skyrim has more going on in it than Oblivion did and it has more variety.

It's not perfect but it provides so much replay value andcontent that it's well worth your money.

lol Skyrim's dungeons come to have very identical layouts and designs. It's either some Draugr-infested catacomb, Dwemer ruin, Vampire or Bandit lair. And all of them have the same puzzles, the same traps, and a similar network of tunnels. None of the dungeons boast real creativity.

I mean, yeah, they're better than Oblviion, but that isn't saying much at all.

I have no idea, because for all the things Skyrim does well excitement isn't one of them.

They arn't reptitive though in terms of the same design ect...and some of them are pretty unique. But to be honest, I think they should have less dunegones in the game, and instead just focus on making a small handful of greta ones.

Like Zelda, there's only about 11 dungones or so total in those games, but there great and well designed and feel epic. Do that with the DLC or something.

Ya the puzzles are stupid, I'll give you that. But there are more "surprises" in the dungeons this time around I guess. Like I was in a cave and founda huge city of those Falmer things, that was just random, stuff like that never happened in Oblivion.

But IMO Morrowind had the best dungeons in the entire sereis, now there was a game that made you WANT to explore things.

It sucks you can't make your own spells anymore, and there's only about a total of what? 80 spells in the game? But using Magic is by far the best way to play Skyrim IMO. Stealth is ok but the AI isn't the best and some times they seem psychic, and physical combat isn't that great compared to other games.

My only complaint with using Magic is that it starts to feel like an FPS, just running around and shooting fire balls at people. But it has enough variety to keep me entertained. I still think that in terms of RPG elements, Morrwoind is still the best. I recommend it, just has outdated combat and mechanics.

I wish Bethesda would remake that game, with improved graphics and gameplay.

Maybe you have the patience to run around and do nothing constructive in skyrim, where other games you have to actually you know make progress towards the main goal. I dont have the patience for skyrim so I always thought it was boring. I prefer games with linear paths from point a to point b.
