I think we all have had our points represented, on both sides, and should let this go now.  While this thread is better (discussion-wise) than most of what is being posted now throughout this forum, it really isn't going anywhere anymore.

However, in the interest of both parties, here are points represented thus far (minus the hogwash):


  • The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim sales show that there is growth in the RPG market.
  • The sales of Skyrim were due to two points: console gamers being exposed to Oblivion and the past Fallout games, which were different from traditional console titles, lead to a rising interest in open-world RPGs; the second point was good marketing.
  • Aside discussing what good marketing is, it is impossible to directly compare two games that, though loosely affiliated with the same genre, are completely different experiences.
  • The past few console generations have not had games that defined a benchmark in the gaming industry.  Instead, it has been concepts and consumers who have defined the industry.
  • Companies need to appeal to new consumers in order to grow, though it should be done without sacrificing their consumer base.
  • Gameplay features, such as combat, should be improved/refined if they need to be, even if they are not the main draw of the title.
  • Review scores, as touted by Metacritic, are an oversimplified way to "represent" the value of a game, but numbers are no true indication of the experience.  It's better to read and analyze when determining if a product is right for you.
I think that summed up all the unbiased points.  Again, there is nothing left to add to this thread, and there's a good chance the longer it's up and around, the more likely someone is going to cause a lot of heat to be thrown around.  We have enough threads being trolled and spammed as it is.

Mostly non-sense, AFAIK.

By post-Skyrim era do you mean all games will get 10/10 despite game breaking bugs, lack of choice due to NPC's being immortal and a crap UI?

Post skyrim Era?
Is possible that!
is that some creazy Conspiracy theory about Reapers Whipeing out All Non Human Speacies in Tamriel, leaving a World dominated only by humans, and then later almost destroyd by the Asteroid that Whiped out all Dinosaurs and Dragons, leaving again only humans on the earth?

Yes yes it hes to be it

It's weird that while the 360 has its share of game breaking bugs the PS3 is the version that is guaranteed to become unplayable after 50 hours.  Weirdly enought the PS3 is not the console of choice for major journals of respectable opinion in gaming media.

Hardly an anomaly. We see praise for broken big games from big publishers all the time. While I've got plenty of disagreements with Gatt9, he's spot on with this one.

Skyrim is a great game but how is this the post Skyrim era? Bioware has a completely different design approach then Bethesda, it is too apples and oranges to compare both games. Both styles have different strengths.

To be honest I'm fed up of it as well.

No it isn't. People look past the game breaking glitches, simple as that.

I cant believe this thread is still open. How do you compare two totally different games and pretend they have things in common. Only thing that relates is the fact that the two games are both western RPGs. Skyrim is great. I enjoy it a lot. But a post skyrim era? LOL!

Maybe if we post pony pics this thead'll get locked and this topic will finally die. Worth a try, at least.

I think you're on the right track. Nothing locks a thread faster than pony pics.
