We've been running a lot of stories on "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" lately because it's all the gaming news sources are talking about, and now we know why. According to a report published by Raptr, a site that tracks gameplay data for more than 10 million gamers, "Skyrim" is officially the most-played game of 2011 -- a year that Web Pro News claims has been the best year in gaming since 1996 (think "Super Mario 64").

Raptr's report also broke down the most-played games within different genres, though there are few surprises there. "Modern Warfare 3" topped the Shooter list, "Batman: Arkham City" dominated Open-World Games, and "Skyrim" obviously crushed the RPG category. (According to the report, it clocked in twice as many hours as the next best RPG, "Dragon Age 2.") Do you play Skyrim?

I was gonna, but then I took an arrow in the knee.

Hah, but really it's seems to appear quite overrated in my opinion, really.
'Hurr durr let's go kill sum dragons lolol'.

Same old stuff as any RPG, and the graphics aren't even THAT great.

For someone who doesn't play it, and has no time for it... You sure seem to be an expert on it's graphics and gameplay? What are you? Are you a spy?

No.

A hurr durr's just a hurr durr, derp.

rosebud to [Katsu]™ 2011/12/13 18:28:16

neither, but maybe I should have used some of both for your benefit?

reply
[Katsu]™ to rosebud 2011/12/20 22:31:01

Or perhaps I should just type nice and slow for your benefit?

reply
rosebud to [Katsu]™ 2011/12/27 17:53:34

Ya know, I found haste when typing causes miskeying by most people, especially me.

I've never even heard of this! I consider the most played video game a game that you don't have to be a gamer to hear about or have played. And that is this guy right here:

How is Skyrim a stupid game? It has incredible graphics, software, improved story-lines and incredible gameplay.
