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.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
