I'm not sure about Skyrim anymore. I was hyped up for the game before it released and still watch let's plays on Youtube, but I get bored of it for while then start to enjoy them again. I just hope it's not like this when I actually buy the game or well... yeah. The only games I from Bioware I really like are the Mass Effect series. I haven't tried DAO but after playing the demo for DAII, I understand why people like DAO better. One day I will come across playing KotOR (is this right) to see what's up. I used to like JRPGs alot but now the only one's I like that are coming soon are FF Versus XIII and Kingdom Hearts 3D.

@Argonian Your post seemed to be implying that linear story based gameplay is inferior to sandbox, so you kinda compared ;)

It's fine if you don't like it, but many vastly prefer it. I can't stand Bethesda's games.

People need to calm down. Skryim was a great game but it sure has hell hasn't changed anything in the gaming world except maybe the fantasy RPG genre (Which isn't even the biggest or famous genre).

Huh, I think some of us are overreacting here. He never said he wasn't going to get it taking another look, but that he would rather wait a little while for more info after release, which is a wise thing to do for any game.

The same as it was in the post-Oblivion era and the post-Morrowind era.

Uh...Post Morrowind? I don't think Mass Effect existed in 2002-2003.

That's the point.

Personally, I wasn't too impressed with Skyrim. It was very pretty and there where lots of things for you to do, but even compared to ME1. I'd still rather have Mass Effect.

I enjoy Bethesda games, but ultimately Skyrim will change little in terms of how I perceive ME3. It's a completely different style. I'll be judging Mass Effect 3 based on its merits compared to other Bioware (and maybe Obsidian) games.

I have only played about 12 hours of Skyrim so far, but I can say that I still think that BioWare completely trounces Bethesda in storytelling, character development, and overall writing. To me, a big, open world is meaningless if I don't care about any of the characters in it.

Now, a lot people prefer Bethesda's approach. That's fine, I just prefer BioWare's. As do a lot of people.

Skyrim has made one thing apparent for ME3, the secret for victory against the reaper is...KNEE GUARDS!!!

^ Agreed. Not sure how one has any bearing on the other. Whatsoever.

Personally, I like both styles of game, but I'm missing the point of this thread.

 Post-Skyrim Era?

Seriously?

Skyrim is a great game but it won't define any eras, that is like saying "Oh in the year 15, post-sliced-bread Era, Bill Clinton did...". Sliced bread was convenient but nothing more. It is the same as the previous TES games but more refined, not exactly revolutionizing. If you want a revolutionizing rpg that has come out this year take a look at Bastion which has a very, very interesting take on storytelling.

In what light? Well sunlight most likely, but seriously "post Skyrim era"? LMFAO! Get real dude just because Skyrim has a huge map and 300+ hours of repetitive side missions does not make it the end all be all of video games like you people make it out to be. It has a paper thin story that frankly sucks, no memorable characters what so ever (other than some stupid npc w/ a crippled knee), the most repetitive gameplay I have ever seen in a game and on top of all of this the game shipped with game crippling bugs. Frankly you sound like a pretentious moron in your op, you're assuming the game will be a linear third person shooter based on what, the gameplay they've shown from E3 and the VGA's? Yeah because skyrim only showed all the deep rpg features at those shows they never showed gameplay or any action. You act like you've seen alot of stuff from this game but if you had you would know that exploration has only been expanded on since ME2, you have a galaxy full of planets and you can land on multiple locations on a single planet. The RPG features have also been expanded on which is something else you apparently haven't seen, the skill trees have multiple branches now and weapon customization is back. Frankly the ME franchise has done more to innovate the rpg than skyrim has, it actually has a story, character development and the gameplay is more than just slapping RT and occasionally LT and yes you are comparing them you're implying skyrim was a game changer (which it sure as hell wasn't) and asking how ME3 will be viewed now because you're overrated piece of **** game cameo out first.

To tha point as alws, tbh

It's its own genre and stands as a completely different product in terms of settings, the content it offers, the gameplay mechanics, everything. If post-Skyrim era is something that affects games in general, regardless of their genre, the term is seriously flawed.

Or even the Witcher 2.

Skyrim is unquestionably beautiful but it actually has LESS NPC recognition of you than the last TES game, Oblivion...It's weird, but I honestly think the Oblivion NPCs were more interesting/memorable than the Skyrim NPCs...

The story of course, is completely forgettable like any TES game so I always say that the greatest game would be a combination of Bioware and Bethseda.

Does anybody have an idea what this new "Galaxy at War" system will look like? It seems to have something to do with planet exploration. I hope Bioware has not replaced planet exploration completely in favor of the new system, though. It sounds grand in its title but what is it about actually?

Paper thin story???

Lol.

It's a million times better than DAII's story.

Problem is.....it isn't a cinematic movie.

Anyways, back on topic....

When ME3 is released, how will it be received??? Will it gain the new fans it wanted while abandoning those who loved the games and watched it die? Or will it fall flat on its face and bomb? I've already heard grumblings similar to mine.

Oh, so that's what it's all about. Skyrim stayed true to the old formula and is therefore superior...? Why don't you list ME3 being successful as a possibility?

I really disagree with this. Skyrim's emphasis on a free world comes at the expense of any kind of focused narrative.

You've heard other pretentious morons complain about how this franchis is being bastardized into a mindless action franchise all because of a couple of screenshots and a grand total of 20 minutes of video from a 30-60 hour game?  Oh ok well that automaticaly validates your opinion then doesn't it?  And at what point did I bring up DAII?  I never played that game never will I said ME had a plot and memorable characters while Skyrim has a paper thin plot that is one huge fantasy cliche and no memborable characters other than your stupid npc with an arrow in his knee.
