If you're whining about bugs in Skyrim, I hope you people stay away from earlier entries in the series.

Nothing has more bugs than FO:NV, but that's alright since I can talk to my own brain in a jar.

I liked Monster Hunter Unite better. Maybe because it had more content used from past games.

Also can anyone translate that...?

Skyrim would be epic as a mmorpg.

There would be few changes I would do for skyrim.

1 Make Monsters harder so it requires Party/Groups.

Have 1 Server Pvp world so anyone can attack anyone and steal there gold. XD

Also make stuff like Materials have respawn timers like 24hrs... Like Plants,Butterflys,Mining Points etc.

Just a thought, but seeing the way Monster Hunter plays, it greatly resembles Phantasy Star Online which predates the monster hunter series (released in 2000). So ya, mmo's of this nature have been around for a long time. (looking forward to Phantasy Star Online 2 this year as well).

This thread will continue to tickle the crap out of me years from now when I think of it. A group of people playing one of the worst rated mmo's in history dogging one of the best reviewed single player games of the decade. Regardless of how you feel about the game, Skyrim is immensly popular because the worlds Bethesda creates feel alive (bugs or not). Considering that the MAIN issue with XIV was that it had an empty world that feels dead, and a total lack of content, I fail to understand how the rest of you can't grasp why Skyrim is popular and this game is not. I certainly don't think that everyone MUST love SKyrim or MUST think XIV is crap, they both have a load of flaws, but for as flawed as they both are, they are also incredibly similar. Both contain an open world and are a continuation of a beloved series that have built a large following. People got what they expected from Skyrim (including the bugs) and were happy with it (reviews and sales prove that). People most definitly did NOT get what they expected out of XIV.

This post is loaded with some truly awesome factoids, such as

1] XIV is one of the worst rated mmo's in history [IN HISTORY? woah, it's a good thing HISTORY isn't all that long, this should be an easy claim to prove]
2] one of the best reviewed single player games of the decade [awesome, now that we're down to 10 years from IN HISTORY, this one should be a little easier for you to prove, I'm sure you have evidence of this, yeah?]
3] Regardless of how you feel about the game, Skyrim is immensly popular because the worlds Bethesda creates feel alive (bugs or not). [Can you prove that this is why Skyrim is immensely popular, or perhaps is that only how you feel about the game?]
4] Considering that the MAIN issue with XIV was that it had an empty world that feels dead, and a total lack of content [That's the MAIN issue is it? Once again, is this for you? For everyone? Where did you derive this from?]
5] People got what they expected from Skyrim (including the bugs) and were happy with it (reviews and sales prove that). People most definitly did NOT get what they expected out of XIV. [you're making massive assumptions here, and in places are outright wrong (for instance, sales don't prove that people are "happy" with a game, sales only prove that the game sold well), but they sure do sound good.

Hopefully years from now you will look back on posts like this and laugh, because in the interm you will have learned to make points that are either clearly stated as opinions or that you actually have evidence to back up.

The overall history of MMO's isn't much older than ten years, others refer to this span of time as a decade, so sorry for the mix up, I will try to tone down the confusing terms. Hell, the history of video games (which is the history I was refering too) isn't all that old either. Moving on, few games crack the 9.0 or higher mark when it comes to game ratings, so yes, Skyrim sits with a small percentage of games rated that highly. I like that you neglected to mention the ratings for the game when pointing out that sales aren't an indicator of how much people like or dislike a game. One of the MAIN issues with XIV besides obvious UI disasters was that the game was stale and lacked a variety of things to do. THE DIRECTOR OF THE GAME EVEN SAID THIS MANY TIMES. Skyrim IS immensly popular or you wouldn't hear every third jackass on this, and every other gaming forum on the internet using the "arrow in the knee" bit everytime they quote something. And most people that bought SKyrim are fans of Bethesda, which means they are aware (unless they are half as braindead as you appear to be) that most Bethesda games release with a ton of bug issues, yet they bought it anyway. Also, its a contender for game of the year, which last time I checked, seems to indicate that a lot of people REALLY liked it.

You see what I did there? I shut you down without ever posting up a single fact from the internet you seem to need so desperatly in order for you to grasp the term "common knowledge". Just because I don't want to spend all night looking up facts to back up my OPINION doesn't mean there isn't elements of truth in whats being said. Also, its a forum, a place for sharing ideas and posting opinions. WHy do I need to state which parts of my post are FACT and which ones are Opinion? You didn't learn to figure out which is which on your own in school? I like forums because I can say things like "You're a really cool guy" and get away with it despite mountains of evidence to the contrary. In this particular instance though I think most of my facts are in order regardless if you need me to post them for your approval or not. Good try though.

You see what I did there?

Yes indeed. I saw you respond seriously to about a third of my points and then sweep the rest under the rug of "your opinion," though your initial post was full of things presented as facts, such as "XIV is one of the worst rated mmo's in history." When you state things like that but then don't back them up and dismiss requests for actual data, that's not called "common knowledge," that's called either "lazy" or "backtracking."

Your second post is also full of factoids like "And most people that bought Skyrim are fans of Bethesda." I know you don't know this, because I bet BETHESDA doesn't know this (it would be extremely difficult for them to track that data, and if they tracked it, they wouldn't release it). But I'm seeing a pattern here and am not going to spend all night asking you to look up facts to back up your opinion.

It is a forum, after all. People are allowed to present generalizations and opinions as facts and sometimes just make stuff up, and only occasionally get called on it.

You wouldn't say that they're alike at all if you played it for a bit.
PSO is an endless grind-fest while MH you can play with naked armor if you're insanely good at it. Killing Lagisaurus naked is the video game equivalent of wrestling a lion in a thong.
