@@sonaffe2248 Won't be a problem since once I forget the game, I'll feast my eyes on the beauty of Skyrim "for the first time". You know how people say that the first time will always be the best experience ❤️

Should I get this game I’ve never played all I ever see are comments like yours

oh yes me too.

@@Majoralertmate You should, you can usually find it for a pretty cheap price nowadays so it's worth a shot

Me too!!! I love elder scrolls so much. It is my favorite game franchise. If they mess ES 6 bad I think Bethesda is finished.

Agree, i don't want Elder scrolls 6 be like Fallout 4 / Fallout 76.

You should be, you ... should be...

Shloomy Shloms I bought fallout 76 and fucking regret it. What a shit game. I figured it was like any other fallout game with a cool story line and coop with your friends. They fucked up in a major way, The better route they should have taken was to make the game with a nice storyline full of NPCs, coop and servers, no leveled monsters, private worlds, build multiple bases or large bases.

It's going to be so bad

What I'd do for a fuckin teacher like that

Jamie Anderson 😂😂😂 my friends and gf make fun of me for playing this game again but idc I’m always gonna be a nerd at heart 💯

Ha. Reminds me of resident evil 4's merchant guy. When the student walks away you should say "is that all, stranger?"

That's awesome lel

@@PoloMoney you'll be lucky if you ever see it, young blood.

Saika have you not played it since then or something? Lol

@@mikebarnes7441 not really. Last time i played was like 4 years ago, heavy with mods.

Saika I got Skyrim a year or so after it’s release for Christmas and I remember playing it on my older brother’s Xbox 360 in his room and he bought this really nice smelling Glade air freshener called Cashmere Woods that he would spray in his room after cracking open the window and it smelled like cinnamon and pine so it would usually smell like that as I felt the cold wind come in from outside while I would play Skyrim which would really immerse me into the world. Now anytime I play Skyrim during winter I buy some of that air freshener spray it, open the window to let the cold air in, and I play Skyrim and it takes me back to being 11 years old and exploring Skyrim with that sense of wonder, awe, and peace that I had when I played it as a kid.

Saika you should start playing again, especially since more and more passion projects for expansion/dlc sized mods are becoming a common occurrence. Skyblivion and beyond skyrim will be the craziest mods to ever release, far surpassing the mods of other games too

I got it when I was 13 for Christmas. I’m now 21. It’s crazy to look back at but times arrow neither reverses nor stands still.

The Opinionator. They copied borderlands and added a few synths

Honestly liked oblivions soundtrack better, but theyre both great. The opening oblivion music made me really feel like I was in this grand place, while skyrim definitely made me feel like a viking dragon child

@@Filmmaker865 lmao someone's butthurt

@Alex alexander kingdom come is a great immersive rpg. However, does not feel much "create your own" to me

A masterpiece indeed!

And the lore

Yes exactly it unforgettable moments that we may never experience in real world

Yup pretty much that. There's these moments when all the bits of the game perfectly align and it's just magical.

I especially love the Dragonborn song

And hopefully Bethesda delivers something that's better than RDR2 or even GTA6, since they wanna take this long it better be the best game of all time with a new engine not the same crappy old one that they've used forever

As of right now I believe Rockstar is the best game maker RDR2 was am astonishing game and was one of the most anticipated games of all time if not the most anticipated game, and Rockstar has the 2 most profitable titles of all time right now, this being GTA5 that has made ove 1B in its time and RDR2 that made just over 700M on release

@@johnathanrancier2837 rdr and gta arent rpg tho it would always be unfair to them to be compared to something like skyrim and the witcher

It ias a big deal for gamers :)

That's beautiful

I remember playing it for the first time and deciding to explore a little bit before trying to figure where I was supposed to go and after what seemed like forever, just stumbling out of the woods into this wide open plains area; it was near evening and overcast/cloudy and a whole other world and atmosphere. Had same feeling, 'wow' and just being overwhelmed by it-as well as wondering if I was even 'supposed' to be there 'yet'. I think I'd found a horse somewhere and I just rode around for a time staring at everything. It seemed so huge back then.

Actually, it was a big deal for literally everyone

It helps when there's a plethora of mods that extend the lore to heights that is lacking in a lot of games we have today!

Boltman. It’s just a carbon copy of borderlands but with changed nouns and people’s. I thought everyone know this?

You're wrong kid

Hexerino Kripperino im a huge borderlands fan but skyrim definitely didnt copy borderlands

The lore is mostly from earlier titles

I've spent more time modding than actually playing.

Skyrim: mod it until it crashes

That is so true

Console gamers have the worst of the worst fun mods

Ellis Dee console like the ps4 can barely play with mod anyway,the hardware is too weak, just 1 simple weather/lightning mod is all it take to reduce the fps on the ps4 below 20 fps in many areas in fallout 4 and skyrim

Is it still worth playing oblivion? I have several hundred hours in skyrim and dont know if that would diminish my enjoyment for oblivion if i were to play it.

for me skyrim and dark souls series. best game i ever play

Skyrim, Witcher 3, and breath of the wild are the holy Trinity of open world games

@@John-iu9kl I would not recommend oblivion as it doesn't have mods or any good mods so graphics are pretty old for most people . Not too much deep story and side quests like Skyrim . Skyrim is much bigger and better , you can watch some videos for lore of oblivion , but Skyrim is on another level .

@@John-iu9kl I would say that it's worth playing. The factions and side quests are much better in Oblivion and the Magic system is also a lot better in Oblivion like you can make your own spells and stuff in Oblivion. But at the end of the day it's your choice.

yep and it takes the #1 spot for best roaming around/ambient score in a game so far.

I love the music in Skyrim, seriously, it's so good. I love Skyrim in general too, I find it hilarious whenever I mention that on KZfaq and you get 20 people responding trying to convince you why it sucks. Lol. I don't care, I like what I like.

Thought I was the only one.

Lmao i feel u. When u plan to be a tank and 15 hrs later u became a sneaky archer hahaha

Resell it for garage door openers!

To be honest, it only "just works" because of the modders who helped fix it.

@@DVankeuren the company should be ashamed for not really fixing their games post launch. Tho they pretty much acknowledged that their games are being fixed by volunteering modders. In 2016 instead of delivering something new how about skyrim-as-a-service with same bugs n glitches like the original Every creation club update brought nothing good but broke mods. Good thing it has stopped, for now. Paid mods is a disgrace.

@@DVankeuren The game was already good before people modded anything.

@@syminite1 I agree, I have 500+ hours without mods on PS4.

Witcher 3 is good for if you want to play an amazing story with incredible characters, but Skyrim is good for if you want to experience an awesome world through your own eyes. Skyrim, to me, remains better than the Witcher 3 simply because you can be anyone you want in Skyrim, but you're always seeing the world through Geralt's eyes in The Witcher.

@@elise205 agree, even though the witcher's story is great, you'll always be a 2 sword monster hunter. Unlike skyrim, you can be whatever you want to be, either a sneaky elf archer, dual-axed orc berserker, a healer magician breton or just simply play a normal nord dragonborn. It's the reason why skyrim is one of my favorite game, if not my favorite.

i like dragons dogma

Witcher 3 is not something that can evolve over time like Skyrim can.

@@elise205 perfect explanation

Good.

Wait until it gets ported over to the afterlife.

I'm fine with that

Three days prior 11-08-2011 was the release of the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

2025: what made skyrim a sensation?

2027 What made Skyrim a religion

2030 what made skyrim, skyrim

2040: what made skyrim start a revolution

2181 : Skyrim : New Vegas

Exactly right. My personal 'game of the decade'

10,000 subs because im desperate ikr it’s a great game

Tsyuna Desu Skyrim came out in 2011 and has sold about 30 million copies. Witcher 3 came out in 2015 and has sold about 25 million copies so I'd say your claim is quite exaggerated. I'm also gonna go out on a limb and assume your kid. Skyrim is a simpler game that children can understand so I can see why it would appeal more.

@@codyvandal2860 I mean I understand your opinion the witcher 3 is a great game. But I must say skyrim is not a simple game. Sure some of its quest can be boring, but its lore is what makes it complex. the daedric princes, the dragon war, Alduins War and if we we're as to go as far as Elder Scrolls Universe Lore then The heart of Nirn, Sovngaurde and even Akavir. There is a lot more complexity to Skyrim then you think. Witcher 3 and Skyrim are both fantastic games and don't get me wrong the witcher has some good lore too. But you must consider that Skyrim is a 8 year old game the witcher 3 is a 4 year old game. So think about it this way skyrim is old and it stills has a massive following and you have to give it props for that. All in all These games are both great but it's quite dumb to compare the both despite the age difference so be more considerate even if this person is a kid or not

Tsyuna Desu i enjoy both equally tbh

I'm constantly sucked into the elder scrolls universe, it's just so well written and rich with lore and potential. I recently wrote a whole small kingdom in the jeral mountains south of Skyrim, based in geothermic canyons, which my character, an imperial, Skyrim-born Dragonborn takes hold of and leads as king while preparing to take over the ruby throne via a siege. Even on the switch, the game is stunning and immersive, and because of this deep attachment and expectations, other games fail to impress me and hold my attention for more than a few months. Breath of the wild was amazing, but after a while the emptiness and lack of serious worldbuilding and deep character creation get old, the puzzles were fun but it's definitely not that replayable. If full dive and ai generated quests and the freedom to do whatever comes to the elder scrolls, I'd love to replay as a dragon soul-devouring badass who is able to make my written kingdom come to life.

Technically yes. But they were a lot different.

I would play Arena if the graphics were even a little bit better.

The Witcher 3?

Won't say that it left skyrim in the dust but the witcher 3 did surpass it.Not by a really big margin, but it did take the top spot and is yet to be dethroned(as the number 1 fantasy RPG).

Ha I was wondering the same thing

There is none lol I played everything the Witcher 3 has to offer and I prefer Skyrim. Like the only ones that say TW3 is better to have probably not played Skyrim to its fullest. I don't know man like I am playing Skyrim right now doing the dawn guard quest just met Serena. I have modded it so my experience is far more enjoyable than vanilla which is already good. Like people are sleeeeeeping on Skyrim especially these kids. Also, Witcher 3 is more talked about just because it was released 5 years ago and Skyrim 10 years ago of course Witcher 3 would be the topic of the RPG genre but I don't know man Witcher 3 is so forgettable even though I love it I have forgotten so many events and the DLC's are sooooo baaaaad I prefer the main story but oh well that's just my opinion

@@exiledcowboy298 I feel similarly, adding up the latest numbers on my different saves, it seems that I played Skyrim for 930 hours at least, I like it, but I didn't get further than the first few hours in the Witcher 3, I didn't like it.

THIS!!!

tons of games have modders yet most arent nearly as big as skyrim is. skyrim at its base is still amazing game. no need to give modders all the credit lol

Not at all.
