5 Reasons Not To Buy Skyrim

The Special Edition is overpriced

Sure, it's cool, but not $150 cool

Special editions are a contentious issue at the best of times, often roping fans into paying more money for not a lot more content. An art book, soundtrack CD and/or making of DVD are nice touches, but they are seldom worth the additional asking price. A plastic sculpture of a dragon is an entirely different matter that, whilst pretty cool to an extent, isn’t worth nearly triple the price of a standard game. Sure, you get a lot of stuff with it, but is it all worth it?

No Multiplayer

My lust for multiplayer exploration of the Elder Scrolls universe will remain unsatisfied

I’m not sure Skyrim would work all that well with any kind of multiplayer, but there’s no doubt that it could be interesting. Fans have requested multiplayer in Elder Scrolls titles since time immemorial, but it’s a request that keeps getting denied. I’m not the kind of person who thinks multiplayer suits every kind of game, but there’s no doubt that it increases the longevity of a title immensely. Can you justify forking out for a game like Skyrim when so many great multiplayer games are on the horizon? We know Skyrim will be long, but will it be that long?

Other Titles

Other awesome titles are always the theme of my gaming related purchases made in November. With publishers rushing to grab the Christmas market, there always seems to be that other awesome game you’ve been waiting for clouding your judgement. Sure, you may really want to play Skyrim, but can you really resist the charms of Assassin’s Creed: Revelations, Super Mario 3D Land, Zelda: Skyward Sword and the ever hyped Modern Warfare 3? Just consider that super list of gaming intensity before you grab for your wallet on the 11th.
