Fantastic review, really loved how you covered a full range of the content of the game. I'm glad you covered the bugs in the game too since that's a pretty significant aspect in the quality of a game. Great job Trasharm!

I love your humor trash :) and i enjoyed reading your review.

My only gripe is that sometimes you spend too much time noting down facts and lists, which i as a reader would prefer to get your impressions or take on things. For example the gameplay section...you went into a lot about the weapons and types of weapons, something i felt was unnecessary, and yet you hardly touched on your impressions of how combat actually feels to the gamer. Things like fluidity, controls, controller response and general feedback given to the player during combat.

Anyways a minor complaint really, of a otherwise very comprehensive review.

Last thing....6-12 hour gaming sessions are you serious??? o.O

I did not enjoy this game at all. If I had the attention span, I would read all of it. I imagine it's a very detailed review. After 15 hours, the game became too monotonous. Travel, side quest, dungeon, main quest, rinse and repeat. Not to mention the combat was painful and my partner did all the work and after about 13 hours, I heard the music get epic and a dragon comes down and shit goes down. It didn't it hit to half health. All it did was focus on my companion while I shoved my sword up its ass. Seriously disappointing. The combat is just not rewarding.

That was one of the best reviews I have ever read. Seriously awesome.

Wait a minute, didn't you originally plan to skip Skyrim entirely? From that review it seemed you put lots of quality hours on it, and most importantly you gave it a solid score of 8.0 (7.0 for the PS3 version).



Wow, great job you did on the review. Pretty solid and consistant and adressed every point in the game. Very well done

Oddly though, I never experienced any of the bugs you mentioned there (except for the crash to desktop until I installed Skyrim 4GB mod). Only bugs I experienced where disappearing objects through terrain after dropping them and a dragon skeleton suddendly appearing inside Solitude out of nowhere. As for the quest entries not updating properly, that only happens when you don't do certain events in order (although, being as big as a game as Skyrim is, that can happen often), but it can be easily fixed with commands prompts.

Nah. Back then I was trying to get the point across about the quality, but it seemingly got spinned that I was trolling the game and that I hated it. I spent a looooonng time with Skyrim during that downtime. :D

Fair points, all of them. I actually went into quite a bit of detail on why this game is an absolute blast for some while it's an absolute bust for others. It's actually why my review is so hefty (I'm trying to get you to read it but I know that's a tall order - if I hadn't written it I'd probably not read it either ). But yeah, I totally understand why you feel it's unrewarding. It simply doesn't have the complexity or depth to combat that you're accustomed to in other games that you like. 

I will read it today and comment back on it after i go to work.
