Hmmm. I haven't gotten any of the new games really. Just old games I really liked and some not so old but cheaper games. So as far as games other than Skyrim that I have played and liked the most. Mount and Blade Warband. Sorry, just can't afford 60 bucks on games when Skyrim is JUST about to come out :P And as for games that I played that aren't all these super new games (Batman, that racing game etc.) I was probably playing something else and just didn't get any ofem cause I was playing other crap.
Actually, I did get Crysis 2 at full price, was a good game but it doesn't beat M&B Warband with Native Expansion Mod
Apart from Skyrim there really isnt any other Modern warefare 3 is shit compared to the previous games and dragon age 2 was a let down (although i still put 50+ Hours into it) so im on the fence with this one.
If it was the game of the last couple of years i would put DAO, MA and Skyrim as equals but i did enjoy DAO far more than skyrim or any other game =D
I loved the way they handled the world. I like hub based questing with a bit of free roaming mixed in.
For me, the best thing in Skyrim would have been to control the player a little bit. Not open all holds at once, make you do some quests in a hold before moving on to the next.
