I like skyrim

I really do. Even though I haven't gone to the part where I actually fight a dragon, I've already fell in love with the fighting system.

The graphics look amazing, I can run on high with 30FPS on my lame-ass PC! There are some graphical glitches (characters moving unnaturally, body's in thin-ari etc.) but nothing that big that can't be fixed with patches.

This is already one of my favorite games of the year (except Minecraft, of course).

Now, I have a question to the peoples of the internets who have played the previous games:
Should I play the previous games?

Minecraft is stupid now *Sigh*
But there is no real point in playing the others.

Skyrim is so good, can't stop playing it atm. The GFX indeed look good and really aren't that demanding at all, love it!
I would really recommend playing Oblivion after Skyrim, maybe put some time between them. It's the same immense experience, doesn't look that bad at all (you can mod it if you really think it looks too ugly), and IMHO the GUI is better than in Skyrim. But that's just a matter of preference.

I wasn't trolling. The game just changed. I always wanted to build shit while skeles, zombies and creepers got in the way. Not 2000 potions, enderman, hunger, rpg crap.

You are my new best friend! Wewt!
And, you can play the older games, but they'll look pale in comparison.
Morrowind looks bland and desertic after you've played Oblivion.
Oblivion will look boring and ugly after you've played Skyrim.
Daggerfall... nah jk.

I'm playing it too. Coming from a newbie of the TES series, it looks great.

I only hope that I'll be able to cope with the INSANE amount of things to do.

It would be the perfect one to start with since it's got rid of many of the imperfections from the older games, imperfections and flaws that have put off a sheer amount of people.

Alright, cool. Guess I know what I'm getting for Christmas then. Would it be better for the PC or 360? Is there any significant difference in the graphics?

Oblivion was the first and only PC game I've ever purchased. Love itttt. Try it out after you're done with Skyrim, I guess.

No point playing the previous games. Skyrim basically puts them to shame. It's the same thing, but better.
The combat is a joke in morrowind/oblivion, and magic sucks.
It's a lot better in Skyrim, so if you have Skyrim...don't bother downgrading.

    Also somebody is remaking it
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Reason how I found Newgrounds: https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/249365
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, the other game where I found newgrounds is new york shark

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Spoke to Tom Fulp the other day, if he can find his old Newgrounds site content like the mini Flash animations from the 2000's that played on the portal.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    So far no response, but he did say that he'll find them. Wayback Machine doesn't have em.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, atleast the 1999 versión of pico's school is avaliable (the difference between it, the 2006 versión and the 2016 versión is that the speed of the game depends of the speed of your computer and that it had the og soundtrack)
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Another being Pico VS Bear, the original 1999 version before Jim Henson filed a DMCA takedown.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    The 2006 versión was made when the flash portal was made
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Many people thought it was lost, but was discovered that he hid it on the same page.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    https://tcrf.net/Pico_VS_Bear
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, although the "secrets" system where the game was has been removed. Also pico vs uberkids had a netplay versión that was shutdown, although the swf file has been found
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Nope. There are two download buttons on the same page, where you can download the original under a file called "bear.exe". "bear2.exe", however, is the updated game in a Flash projector. P.s. this was on the archived Pico page from 2000.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, That's been there for a long time, too. People who search for lost media don't look hard enough lmao.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, also the pico 2 demos used to be only for the newgrounds patrons but they are on internet archive too (https://archive.org/download/picos_school_2)

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Iirc the demos were removed from newgrounds in 2022
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, or well only the demo with mindchamber's style was on newgrounds

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Fun fact @SylverReZ: iirc one of the goals on the fnf Kickstarter stated that pico 2 would be finished but the Kickstarter didnt get enough money for that goal to be fullfiled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, FNF sucks, their community is toxic as hell.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @SylverReZ its a single player game
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, Yea but it has a shitton of mods with their own songs and stuff
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @The Real Jdbye, and quite a lot of people involved in those mods get cancelled
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Newgrounds wasn't the birth of FNF; rather, it was games where you beat up celebrities and parodies.
