I'm so glad I rented Skyrim from Redbox and didn't buy into the hype like I did with Oblivion back in the day. It plays exactly like that game, which I pretty much expected. But I expected some differences and it doesn't seem like it at all. I only played for a few hours and I know that isn't squat in a game like that but I can tell it's not a game for me. It was boring me to tears. In an early side mission one of the first guys I meet asks me to craft something for him. I do it and then I can find him anywhere to turn it in. I hate how the enemies just fall limply to the ground. It despise the encumberance. I only picked up a few items and next thing you know I'm overencumbered and moving at a snails pace.
I also preferred to play in the third person perspective which I know most Elder Scrolls fan would chastise me for.
Either way, feel free to flame away but this game is not for me. Back to Red Box so I can hopefully get The Darkness 2.Comment

All I read was, "Skyrim just ain't for me, I refuse to adapt to the game, now I will play a mediocre title that nobody bought."
Next thing you'll say is you were thinking of buying some DLC but then you took an arrow to the knee.

Darkness is a pretty awesome game. Far from "mediocre". And it has an 80 on metacritic.Comment

I don't think that Skyrim is bad, or even boring, at first. But I did decide after playing it for what felt like half of my life, that it was pretty overrated. Good game, but gave the illusion of fixing a lot of problems that I have with Bethesda games without REALLY fixing them.Comment

Turok is absolutely horrible. I rented it a while back when I was a Gamefly member. I figured it was a FPS so it couldn't be as bad as everyone was saying. It was. I sent it back the very next day. I couldn't even force myself to play for the cheevos.Comment
