Yeah a lot of console games aren't even HD.... But seriously, graphics are a legitimate component of what makes a good game, both artistically and graphically.
I agree with the premise but come on, BF3 is a native DX11 game with a pretty expansive multiplayer experience. It might not be perfect but on the list of developers that have shafted the PC, DICE is not near the top.
[QUOTE="Zubinen"]It's the atmosphere as well as the fact that the skill curve for the game is a flat line(which is a turn off only for a select few gamers), and on PC it arguably has more mod support than all other games in the past 10 years combined. As has been stated previously, Skyrim is like a virtual skinner box, you know every action you make in the game helps to work toward the next little "reward nugget" to satisfy your ongoing addiction. I personally found that vanilla Skyrim is so awful that it actually makes me sick(as in I actual feel like vomiting[I wish I were joking] when playing which could be due to the uncanny valley effect) but I bought the game knowing it would have tons of top notch mods and incredible mod support for many years to come.trodeback
This sums up my feelings pretty well about Skyrim. The mods is what makes this game so popular. The ability to choose from a ton of different modifications to your gameplay makes it worth coming back to again and again.\
It seems to me from what i read on most Skyrim hating threads is the next generation of gamers want gameplay much more linear, less choices & exploration & more shooting/killing/sex. I'd put examples of what appeals to the younger crowd but I'm sure most ppl know what I'd say anyway.
What about the Skyrim hate that stems from people wanting MORE choices & exploration, like in the previous iterations of the series. The Elder Scrolls is well on it's way down the drain.
