  • ''One of the best role-playing games ever made'' ... Okay... so much for this guy's credibility...

  • Hey what's better: this or Batman Arkham city cos IGN gave both of them 9.5/10?

  • @UrbanNinja117 Arkham City for sure

  • @UrbanNinja117 Skyrim, it's MUCH longer and there's LOTS to do.

  • @UrbanNinja117 Skyrim is way better.

  • this game is truely amazing, the only other two games that are as fun as this are red dead redemption and sly cooper

  • @MegaSoaponarope Sly cooper was the shit

  • Skyrim is to me, an ACTION rpg. Still the best one i've ever played, but not surprising in story and choices. Thank god it's better than that soppy story Fallout 3 had.

  • LOL at 3:23 i thought a horse was stirring up a potion

  • @mkocja5a It's not your right to decide which game is better you boot licking ice troll! FUS RO DAH!!!

  • I dont know if I should get this game cause I'm not into the whole RPG thing...

  • @H44classvsBismark This is hardly and RPG, To me and many others this is a hack n slash. I will have you 2 games that are more RPG.

    1. Morrowind

    2. Mass effect (series)

  • @H44classvsBismark neither am i, but i gave it a go. 5 hours later, someone ripped me off from my desk. i can't get enough :)

  • sorry magic 

  • theses guys at school are so racistis they think that Nords should not use majic

  • damn im getting so much arrow to the knee jokes let me restate

  • @LegoGayton wat metal gear solid kotor 1 majoras mask jak 3 fallout 3 goleneye is my favorite fps however and oot is my second favorite zelda game skyrims overated but still good

  • Can someone please explain wtf taking an arrow to the knee is? And where it came from?

  • @akedun9e guards in the game sometimes say: "I used to be an adventurer like you; then i took an arrow in the knee."

  • @akedun9e uu obviously ddont have skyrim

  • I want to say this game is the best game ever

    Besides legend of zelda Oot and goldeneyeN64

  • @halo6534  morrowind and fallout 3 are better than both of them

  • Comment removed

  • What the elder scrolls needs to do is get out of its little bubble it has. Yes it has amazing graphics gameplay and all that but the whole your character not talking thing is getting old seriously. If games like witcher and dragon age make your character talk this game couldve spent a few more hours with a voice for your own character. Then I would say the voice acting would be pretty close to damn perfect.

  • for the sake of the gamers who play this game, the game should have had better dialogue; chances are the poor saps (me included) who gets sucked into this game will start speaking in the same manner the characters in the game talk.

  • FRAME RATE ON PS3 IS HORRIBLE PLZ FIX IT

  • This game is good. The quests are fun but it gets annoying when a quest is broken and theres no way to fix it.

  • @Wi1dC4rd721 i agree..one in particular is the quest striking the heart from the companions guild..

  • 4:42 - Hadouken! Hadouken!

  • i use to b a comedian then i said an arrow to the knee joke

  • @Lenrom12 i never used to make arrow to the knee jokes but then i still dont :)

  • @ghostfreezeable agreed fallout is better cant wait for fallout 4

  • i recently played Alan wake which was so awesome that when i started this game i found it rather boring in comparison and ambience. I love rpgs. i loved fallout 3 and new vegas. but people hyped this so much, im just not digging it.

  • i used to play fable until i took an arrow to the knee and now i play skyrim

  • @1000merc erm... Best game ever.

  • over rated crap.

  • @1000merc fuck no

  • Comment removed

  • i play on the ps3 and i dont see the lagg problem only my ps3 is really old so it freezes some times so it needs a restart. but i love my ps3 more than i do whit my xbox. ps3 is magic xbox is xbox

  • I Hate games with magic and such, But Skyrim, is the BEST game I have ever played!!!

  • Can you have sex in this game?

  • This game sucks Dark souls is better! :D

  • @Trainwreck1415 it sucks in which way? And that is your opinion I guess. But this game far from sucks!

  • @Trainwreck1415 you MUST be a child.

  • @Trainwreck1415 And you know what's better than skyrim and dark souls together?Grand Slam Tennis :D

    -.-

  • Will someone please look at the bad parts!!!!! How about it being broken on ps3 or it having terrible characters and story!

  • @Noblechief12345 well, many of the PS3 problems are caused by the PS3 itself, not the programming of the game. Especially the frame rate issues, which is caused by the low RAM of the system.

  • @Noblechief12345 Whats wrong with the story?

  • @mkocja5a see that comment you made? It has bad spelling! BAD. SPELLING.

    The youtube audience is really getting dumber, it seems.

  • @Lenrom12 I used to till I took an arrow to the knee

  • why not 10

  • man i am so happy that no one says arrow to the knee jokes anymore

  • @Lenrom12 then you took an arrow to the knee! *gets punched in the fucking face* I deserved that :P

  • @Lenrom12

    I used to not use arrow to the new jokes....

    Until I took an arrow to the knee

  • @Lenrom12 I used to say those jokes, than i took an arrow to the knee...

    U MAD?

  • @LFCstevegerrard8 no im not weirdo

  • @Lenrom12 haha i forgot about arrow in the knee jokes....until i took an arrow to the knee

  • @Lenrom12 I was about to comment a joke and get the most thumbs up, but than I took an arrow to the knee :(

  • @Lenrom12 I used to hate arrow to the knee jokes like you but then i took an arrow to the knee....

  • do not buy this game on PS3!

  • @slickman911 whats wrong with this game on ps3

  • @kRoniKBuD6030 its full of bugs and glitches making it unplayable. just google it and you'll see that its a broken game on PS3! i was gonna buy it on PS3, but i did some research on it and found out its shit on it. so i picked it up on Xbox instead... in fact most multiplat games run better on Xbox 360 over the PS3!

  • @slickman911 Why?

  • @slickman911 the ps3 version is fine

  • @slickman911 why not?

  • THIS GAME IS SOOOOOO AMAMAMAMAMZINNGGG

  • i gotta say 2011 was a good year for gaming

  • i like the advertisement

  • love this game but my only probkem with it that it lags alot

  • @dogz115 Because of your bad computer? Ore are you playing on the PS3?

  • @MrSalla100 im on ps3 and its the only game that lags

  • @Ricardo7250 wtf are you talking zelda never been linear of course if you had actually played a zelda game you would know that

  • This game has everything I want in a game yet since getting it on release date I have hardly played it. Why?

    BF3? Good for you.

    GTA? Good for you.

    Zelda? Good for you.

    COD? Whoop-de-fucking-do

    GET THE PICTURE?

  • see those guards from skyrim? they have bad voice acting! BAD. VOICE ACTNG.

  • @mkocja5a And so did the Falllout guards.. They don't change.

  • @mkocja5a No they don't, what are you talking about!

  • @smithy8u listen to how the male guards say "see those warriors form hammerfell? they have curved swords. CURVED. SWORDS." and tell me with a straight face that peace of voice acting isn't bad. most of the voice acting in the skyrim is greeat, but that quote is almost tommy wiesau level XD

  • @mkocja5a Oh right sorry i thought you meant their accents because they sound awesome but they do say some weird things haha

  • @mkocja5a imo hardly any of the voices are amazing. give me a line from skyrim that sounds as genuine and terrific as Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series, then we'll talk.

  • @smbz821 there is none, but i never said there is. but skyrim is still better then uncharted 3 ^^

  • @mkocja5a you can't compare an rpg to an action game... just sayin'. and no, skyrim isn't an action game, it's got more rpg elements than action elements.

  • @mkocja5a But Uncharted 3 got a perfect 10 on IGN.

  • @mkocja5a Pff hardly skyrims voice acting was extremely mediocre. The khajit voices were only good ones. But skyrim may be a good game, but its no where close to oblivion epicness. Sure the people all sounded the same in oblvion but at least its better voice acting then overrated skyrim.

  • @halo6534 Funny you are trashing Skyrim's voice acting when the voice acting is Oblivion was just terrible, they were far more repetitive than the voice acting in Skyrim and even the people who like Oblivion overall better than Skyrim will agree.

  • @fan977 Sure the charaters all did sound the same but the overrall quality of the voice actin was really good. Skyrim on the other hand had alot more voice actors but most of them were pretty mediocre.

  • @halo6534

    I agree I got sucked into a conversation by a courier while getting jumped by bandits and died because I couldn't leave the damn conversation. 

  • @halo6534 Fallout 3 was a better game then skyrim . All skyrim is is content . It didn't feel right and yes it's overrated and overrhyped . BUT it's still good . Technically it's better then oblivion (animations , graphics yada yada yada) But thats not what determines our enjoyment with games is it .

    Fallout had this atmosphere that engulfed you . The combat , leveling up , dark feel and atmosphere , plot , etc were better then skyrim .

    I like both oblivion and skyrim .

  • @jtgtjtgt I completeley agree with you. And yes skyrim is massively overrated and overhyped. And thanks for agreeing. And yes fallout 3 was a very amazing game. Fallout 3 is a 10/10, oblivion is a 9.7/10. And skyrim was preety good when i first played it, but the more i played it my enjoyment died really fast. After playing skyrim for a while id give it a 8/10. Definalty the weakest bethesda game, and really dumbed down. Skyrim got to repetitive and tedious for my tastes.

  • @jtgtjtgt I like fallout better than skyrim for one reason alone: the atmosphere. I have to disagree with you on everything else, especially the plot. the combat in fallout isn't any better, and leveling up in skyrim is more... realistic, you don't expect to lock pick all day and when you level up spend all the skill points on something unrelated to what you were just doing like speech do you? and I like how the DJ talks about your deeds on the radio, in skyrim people don't give a shit

  • @smbz821 I disagree . In Fallout leveling up gave you this weird sense of satisfaction and it was more fun . In skyrim it's just i leveled up .... yea whatever . I agree about the radio 3 Dawg was kickass . And the music was good aswell both on the radio and off it both are better then skyrims . And the story in skyrim is so short i enjoyed fallouts much more . Using the Pipboy to navigate was just more fun (makes no sense i know) . Everything was just right . 160 hours on skyrim and 30 on FO3

  • @jtgtjtgt IMO FO3's story was decent at best it started out great but lost alot of steam by the end & many things made no sense, why did John Henry Eden ask you to do his bidding, he didn't trust the Colonel but he was willing to trust a guy who he just met, & why did Dad leave the Vault without telling you & without thinking that could also cause trouble for you. & Skyrim's main questline is longer, I finished FO 3's in 8 hours while Skyrim's main questline took me around 13 hours to finish.

  • @halo6534 Fallout had a better soundtrack aswell . I could go on and on . I only played Fallout for 30 hours . but in those 30 hours i had more fun then my 160+ in skyrim .

    I agree with pretty much everything you've said so far . I found a few voices i liked in Skyrim though such as Ulfric Stormcloak

  • @jtgtjtgt Ya i agree skyrim lacked the amazing atmosphere that other bethesda games have had. Skyrim seemed like it was made very lazy, and it lacked the color and amazing art style that oblivion had. And ya i put maybe 85+ in skyrim and i had a ok time, i got my moneys worth for sure, but i was completeley unsatified and disapointed with skyrim. And ya i liked the khajit voices in skyrim they were pretty good but other than that the stormclock voices were fucking annoying.

  • @halo6534 Bit arrogant. It's complete opinion, and I much preferred Skyrim in it's entirety, including voice acting. You disagree, but that's your opinion, not a fact.

  • @SubstanceTheGamer Hows is my stating my opinion arrogant? What are you fucking nazi? This is the fucking internet, people do this shit all the time so get use to it and stop trolling people.

  • @halo6534 it's fine if you prefer oblivion, but i consider skyrim better for this reason alone: YOU ACTUALY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GETTING STRONGER! the whole point of rpgs is upgrading your character, but that seems a little pointless in oblivion, since the enemies level up with you. still a great game, but i prefer skyrim :)

  • @mkocja5a Ya the lvling system was preety shitty in oblivion. But it only was bad if you were like lvl 45 other than that the game was preety easy. Skyrim did improve some things and it was a good game im not denying that but like i said at the end of the day skyrim had alot of disapointments about it.

  • Skyrim is without a doubt the best game of 2011, but I still think it didn't deserve a 10. 9.5 is perfect because of bugs and there is still room for improvement, as there always is.

  • Norway simulator...

  • I love skyrim :) y argue about whos right and whos wrong, just go play the game, DragonBorn awaits :)

  • u didnt mention any bugs? and glitches.. this game lags like shit on ps3 its almost unplayable. this should get a 7 maximum out of 10 on the ps3 and 10/10 on pc.. this is just my opinion so do not judge me.

  • @runeguy277 yeah i have it on ps3 it lags to no shit, but not unplayable (at least for me) maybe 8.5/10 because its my first game of this time

  • morrowind and skyrim kinda bring out the little 6yr old you while playing it dragons mages and of course arrows everywere

    the KNEE!

  • fun game lot to discover in it. i like the way bethesda did the leveling in this game. 3rd person view sucks in skyrim and sucks in fallout 3 and new vegas as well. good thing its optional.

  • morrowind is still way better skyrim is nothing but a striped down action adventure game with a few roleplaying elements

  • @Darksoulsisawsome I agree thats why i didn't care much for skyrim. And that fact that it sold 10 million copies just proves that it was dumb downed tremendously to appeal towards everyone, and it also proves that just cause a game sells alot doesn't mean its necessarily that good of a game.. It makes me sad really to see gaming sink to a all new low. And ya i also agree that skyrim shouldn't even be call a rpg. Cause the rpg elements were put last.

  • @halo6534 Your the definition of a troll, look at your name, halo breaks no grounds. Skyrim doesn't have to be groundbreaking, although it is, all it has to be is fun to play, halo, not so much.

  • @Forggeter Haha dude halo broke newground for gaming in almost everyway. And ok if your fucking eninstein name one thing skyrim breaks new ground in. Can't wait to hear your retarded answer. And ya you only like skyrim cause its appeals towards you casual fags. I guarantee you play shit like call of duty and angry birds. And ya im the troll? I simply stating my opinion, you obviously don't know what a troll is, you just go around calling everyone it.

  • Why are they playing oblivion soundtrack in the back? Because it's better? YES!

  • is oblivion worth playing after playing skyrim

  • a 10 means a game with no flaws a perfect game witch is next to impossible.. or is it?

  • @TheKing3234 that true cant wait for fallout 4

  • HELP ME PLEASE!!!! IF I LIKE SKYRIM AND I LIKED LOTR CONQUEST, SHOULD I BUY LOTR WAR IN THE NORTH? AND HOW LONG DOES IT LAST(WITH ALL QUESTS)?

  • i returned it the next day . it was so boring. i bought fallout new vegas and dead island . the fallout series DESTROYS this .

  • @TheKing3234 its really opinion. im not really biased. I just like the kind of mystical world. B/c i do love Lord of the Rings!

  • i really like the game that just a opinion also dont get in a RAGE modus

  • I give Skyrim 70% haHAH. Little has changed. Difficulty level only raises stats on foes, leaving you to click on them more frequently and die more often. Zzz

    Ice should freeze weapons and make enemies slip. Shock should work best with water and stagger enemies. Fire doesnt work with water, but is most damaging. Use it to make smoke barriers and scare off monsters. "Hackn slash" is too ancient for games today; hit locations matter. Sharp PIERCES, blunt CRUSHES, light is FAST, heavy FORCES etc..

  • Every comment: "My OPINION is right and your OPINION is wrong, so you're a stupid fanboy of some game or this one." The youtube audience is getting dumber and dumber...

    Note: How come no one ever mentions the terrible voice acting in this game?

  • @jharrod123 A lot of the Voice acting is good, but i think the lack of facial expressions ages the game quite a lot.

  • @jharrod123 call me a fanboy, but i never had so much fun in a rpg in years, also i have to say.. it isn't perfect, and you have to accept that part :) but it doesn't kill the game!

  • @jharrod123 I like the voice acting

  • @jharrod123 zelda skyward sword has no voice acting

  • @Ricardo7250 zelda may have no voice acting but the characters can show emotion unlike skyrim characters just saying

  • @rybrentmannftw as soon as skyrim have to fill in the blanks with amount of quotes because its a RPG and isn't linear, all the player needs is everyone saying something when he gets close and you can see that the guards sometimes comment about you depending on the skills you have or quest you completed, but its one step foward on voice acting because it has

  • @jharrod123

    I may be bad, but at least its not as bad as oblivion :P

  • @jharrod123 lol.this one is brilliant when comparde to oblivions...

  • @jharrod123 The voice acting is better than your life

  • @jharrod123 I think Voice acting is good and serviceable for the most past, just a bit repetitive, only the guards' voices are annoying.

  • @jharrod123 I think it was okay, was made in a rush, only 3 years so it can't be perfect, its still badass :)

  • @jharrod123 what was terrible about it elaborate on it.

  • @jharrod123 Elder Scrolls needs bad voice acting, it's a staple in the series ever since Morrowind's obnoxious greetings.

  • @zombislayerpwnsnoobs have you tried I don't know activating the quest in the quest log then there should be an arrow on the map pointing to the place

  • WAY too many loading screens in this game, youll often find yourself staring at loading screens more than having fun playing a game. :)

  • Skyrim was great and all, but it got boring and the guests felt repetive. It does deserve a 9.5 or 9.0, could have better if it had co-op, than it would have been a 10. Mass effect 3 will be better by, A LOT and it has co-op.

  • @BornGodofWar true, i buy both games.

  • @BornGodofWar

    I don't really think that co-op would be good for this game. Some things just won't work. Two player might but not multi-player WoW style. TES games weren't made to be MMORPGs

  • @ognimoddd koa sucks get it but dont a omg best game ever reaction to it like everyone else

  • i might get this game but idk if ill like it.....kingdoms of amalur is too beast and i dont think this is better :O

  • @Radiohead4121 thats true fucking skyrim fanboys shut up knights of the old republic is the best rpg not this

  • Skyrim fanboys are 10x more annoying than COD fanboys.

  • the sad thing is gta4 got a 10

  • where are the call in dragon shouts

  • 10

  • This game is way overrated, it's a piece of buggy s***

  • @R2BDSireturn

    That's why there are these wonderful things called patches and console commands which can get rid of or override the bugs. Duh

  • skyrim is sucks..thumbs up if you DON'T agree

  • so this game is a no, no for ppl who want to get into college or graduate it ツ

  • i LOVE how some Skyrim fanboys are butt hurt that it didn't get a 10.

  • @MrUBtrollin2 its called an elder scrolls fanboy get it right lol

  • @MrUBtrollin2 Why? I bet you love how Zelda got a 7.5 to huh

  • @Zer0SkiLL789 from who?

  • @MrUBtrollin2 ME TOO! Aren't they adorable?! :D

  • @MrUBtrollin2

    haha I agree. I love skyrim, but I honestly don't think anything should get a 10. Theres no such thing as a perfect game

  • if any game ever deserves a 10 its this ign and you know it.

  • @TomNGaryProductions No, I doubt it. Would you say that that Skyrim is perfect? That it has not one flaw? If so you need to play the game a bit more. By the way I'm not trying to be a dick here, so please don't interpret it that way.

    In my opinion while I do think Skyrim is amazing and fun, I think that Oblivion was much better. This is probably because thats the first Elder Scrolls game that I played. I did play Morrowind and I guess people who played that first disagree.

  • @TJOstrowski Ya i agree oblivion is a much better game. And yes your right i was being a dickhead, but still that dudes logic in his comment made no sense. Its like saying you hated mw2 but loved mw3....when there no different from eachother get my point?

  • @halo6534 Oblivion and Skyrim have vast differences, I don't understand why you think they don't. The fact that you just said you think that Oblivion is a much better game completely...

  • @TJOstrowski No at there cores there not that much different from eachother.
