I was surprised by how much I didn't get on with Skyrim.


I know I've said it all before but I played Oblivion to death, and objectively Skyrim improves on pretty much everything in that game. But it leaves me cold


Having finished the Other Big Games I have returned to it a few times and just float around for a bit. Literally. That's one of my problems with the elder Scrolls games is how floaty everything is. Combat especially


I know it sounds like I'm trying to poo poo other people's opinion of the game and I'm really not. It's just surprising to me how much my tastes have changed between Oblivion game and Skyrim

I've said before, I kind of feel the same, but I don't think I've given Skyrim enough time to really draw me in.


Thing is, Oblivion had that wow factor, when you saw just how big it was, and how great the world looked. Skyrim has improved on that, but you expect it, so it doesn't bowl you over like Oblivion did.


Dragons are always a point scorer though.


I did pretty much everything in Oblivion, and some DLC, but haven't even started the shimmering isles, so could even still go back to that one day...

I am playing GTA V and am about half way through. Way more playable than 4 with brilliant missions. Love having three characters to play. Only drawback is that I can only play when there are no kids about becuase of the language and frequent use of N word!

I'm playing it as well. Really enjoying it. I get some strange looks from Mrs. Onion for the language, or just bursting out laughing at some of the dialogue. Some of the commentary is very entertaining.


I've played a bit of the online. A bit of a grind in some way, but so many things you can do. Overall though it seems to have lost a bit of the chaos of multiplayer on 4.

I've not gotten round to exploring yet, but plan on a hike up the mountain at some point. Gameplay time is very limited due to kids though, and by the time they're in bed I often don't even have the energy / motivation left to turn on a game console, I just sit there staring blankly at the telly.

Recommendations wanted.


Mrs Otta has said she might like to get herself a game for the xbox, but I don't know what to recommend because I'm not in to her kind of thang. Basically she really liked Pikmin on the old Nintendo, and she probably likes the likes of Sim City.


Anyone got any recommendations for games like that? I thought about Sims 3, but not sure she'd dig that.

    • But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.
    • I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.
    • Let's see how a Leader and party that thrive on division and demonising elements of our society actually do when they have to deliver. Let's hope that the two main parties don't consider that the best way to fight Reform is to become like then. Even less reason to visit the small town where I grew up.  Not a cause for any joy or celebration. Happy to celebrate the Canadian result.
    • The Reform Party has surely taken the Conservatives and Labour by surprise? I’ve been a Conservative voter since the age of 18 and voted for them in the General Election last Summer. Sadly Labour were elected but their policies on so many issues have been their downfall as they did not stick to them.
