Subject: Is Skyrim a good game?

Studies show that men think about sex every 7 seconds. I do my best to eat hotdogs in under 6, just so things don't get weird.

Please allow me to introduce Myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

I bought a new Xbox yesterday, and Skyrim was included as a free download. Is it worth playing? Ht's your honest opinion?

My dexterity is getting out of hand.

It's quite good, but even better on the PC if you like mods.

If you're into RPGs, then I'm sure you'll like Skyrim.

You look like a handsome drug dealer

Absolutely.

EDIT:
I should add that I'm level 52 right now, and I still have to beat the main quest, the thieves guild, the mage college, and the dark brotherhood.

The game has awesome replay value.

Of course its worth playing.

But if you don't want it give me the code ;)

Get Dawnguard and Dragonborn, they're amazing DLC's that make the game even more fun than it already is.

Meh...I can say you'll find endless hours of gameplay in that game. Whether you'll have fun playing is another matter.

yes, You'll have a good time.

Usually I'll get to a point where i dont care about quests anymore and will go on a rampage to kill everyone. by that time i start a new character.

Off-topic: does anyone else think that skyrim is more entertaining at the beginning then later on in the game?

I had fun with it! Still need to go back and finish the main story line.

I played for 60 hours before completing the 2nd main story line quest.

Did you play Oblivion... Same principal

You too?

And yes I do think it does start to get repetitive once you're one hit killing everyone.

If you like monotonous gameplay with bad voice acting and writing, repetitive dungeons, terrible pacing and RPG mechanics, then it is just the game for you.

Son, you don't need that here. It's a fact.

Yes, Skyrim is a great game. The DLC is also great. Don't listen to the Hearthfire hate if you like the idea of raising a family and building your own home it's good. Dragonborn and Dawnguard are also good and add to an already great experience in Skyrim.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

I cannot say yes enough. It's slow to start but really, really fun when you're far enough into it.

Yup. Skyrim really isn't as good as one would assume.

IMO no

1. The weapon swinging is slow and stuck at the same pace, making it uncontrollable, boring and unfun.

2. Unlike Oblivion, equipping shields, swords and magic all at once is not possible, so combat is less varied, gets boring, and sometimes screw you over.

3. No durability on things means there's little challenge and again it gets boring.

4. Characters interrupting you while you talk to someone. Annoying and it means I can miss out on valuable information.

5. The landscape is copied and pasted over and over.

6. Minor things, like stupid looking animations, horses turning on you when you attack their owner, and really long loading times.

I appreciate I didn't do much quests or see much of the game, but if the gameplay flat out sucks, it gets in the way and ruins the experience.

Yes. Its not the best game ever, but it has lots to do and is very enjoyable.

It's a fun game on consoles, but on the PC is where it really shines. The modding community for Bethesda games is amazing.
