Never seen that advert OL mentioned ("Like Skyrim with guns"), but that's quite a powerful line for an ad to use, since a lot of "casual"-ish sorta gamers like me did geek-up a lot of hours in Skyrim. Skyrim with guns (and from the sounds of it, potentially the same game-breaking bugs.
) really does appeal.
I only clicked on this topic today 'cos a guy at work who games a lot (he is a Skyrim fan too) was describing it as such, so I watched a few videos on Youtube (and yeah, I can see the parallels. It reminded me a bit of Just Cause 2, also.) before coming to see what you guys thought of it.
Looks like this could be one of the things I buy for myself in January. I'm playing Oblivion right now, notched up about 70 hours so far but still have so much to do. Will almost certainly be above the 150 hour mark before I'm finished with it. Will then have to go back to Skyrim (currently on the second playthrough, at about 170-odd hours so far), finish the DLCs and the main quest, so don't really need another mammoth of a game to get started on soon.
