PSXE Poll Update: Skyrim Lives Up To Expectations
The Elder Scrolls V: SkyrimWell, you guys were right. ;)
Last week, we wanted to know what your expectations were concerning Bethesda's epic - and almost infinite - role-playing adventure, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The majority of readers said it would turn out to be the best RPG of the year...
Well, most critics and fans would agree, now that the results are in after Skyrim launched on Friday. I remain absolutely shocked that I fell so much in love with the game; for the record, the 9.7 I awarded this game is the second-highest score I've given anything this generation (no, I didn't review any of the Uncharteds). Why? It just blew me away and to be frank, that doesn't happen so often anymore.
This week, now that both Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 are available and you've likely sampled both, which do you think won the quality war? We say BF3 has the edge in the single-player department, while MW3 has the multiplayer advantage. We gave both games the same overall score (9.0), but what do you say? Are they even? If not, which one came out on top?

The problem for me is that I'm not much of a multiplayer fan. I spent a lot of time on Halo 3 with a buddy of mine, and CoD4 with some guys from work, but was never really that good. One thing I really liked was the CoD 4 campaign. It was short, but with all the different experiences like the sniper mission and the C-130 gunship level (one of my favorite gaming experiences ever) it was a lot of fun. I've heard that MW3 is more like MW1, so I'll probably try it first.
As for Skyrim, I'm extremely excited to get this game, based on the reviews I've heard, and that Fallout 3 is one of my favorite games ever. I don't know when I'll be able to pick it up, but I whole heartedly look foreward to tearing into it.

As far as MW3 vs BF3, I really enjoy them both. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. I am just very happy that I was able to buy both. I have a ton of fun playing them. 2011 and 2012 are proving more and more that the PS4 really needs to be backwards compaitible. If it's not, I will have 3 PS3 sitting in storage. What an incredible gen of games on the PS3. Gaming Bliss!

Although the final mission in MW3 was pretty freaking awesome.
