The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The only negative I have is that the combat looks pretty mediocre. From watching the 20 minutes of gameplay, the reactions from any of the enemies after getting hit with a sword is pretty awful.

I agree but it seems that the 2 handed combat system looks a little off. i havent seen any one handed gameplay.

Idk I like it so far it looks like it will keep me occupied

Just watched a video, seems exactly like Oblivion. This is definitely a 'wait for $20 Steam sale on the GOTY version' game for me

It's a day one for me, I know I'll love the game. The graphics look better but the Engine I think is DX10... No DX11. Elder Scrolls has usually been a console port ever since Morrowind, which was the best one IMO.

I'm getting this one on Xbox, and when the price drops to like $20 and there's some awesome mods out I'll get it on PC.

I know right best launch day ever lol

I wish there was some sort of Co-op in the game so that I could play it with the wife, while waiting for Diablo 3.

 

[Mr. Chambers]

Yeah well I don't work for a bank or the government so I work on all the holidays except the big ones!

I don't think this thing is preloaded yet - is that correct? I have bought it in Steam but if I recall there wasn't an option to preload at least as of this weekend?

Fortunately there's plenty of other threads about other games - to each their own.

I'm interested in the game, but definitely not a day1 purchase for me, I really want to see/read the reviews first. As the first few videos I've seen from the first 20 minutes I was not impressed.

 

[DR DEUCE]

Why were u not impressed janus?

I pretty much already covered it in my first reply in this thread, but to restate:

The combat looks mediocre at best (no reactions from being hit - when you have a successful hit you just see a fake blood slash mark, etc), as well as the textures looking low-res, the animations were meh. It didn't look too much better than Oblivion which came out... 5 years ago?

 

[ChaosSully]

idk I like this game because of the story and content vs animations and textures the story line is never the same its just an all around epic game

I agree, some of the videos it looks really clunky and some it looks a little better. The finishing moves look okay for the most part. But I still have to buy it day one because I love there story telling
