The Switch, the best thing to happen to gaming for a few years.
How? It’s a fucking mess of a console
@@misaeltoral508 It is a mess, but there is nothing better. Unless of course you want to dive into the microtransaction soaked mobile market
@@misaeltoral508 Bruh, he's talking about the Switch, not the Xbox One :P
Misael Toral its tv compatible, portable and is the king of exclusives. (Naturally as a nintendo). As new games come and get ported like borderlands and the witcher so on it continually becomes the best console in my opinion not for power and shooting games like the ps and xbox but for what it had to offer that none other have
@@misaeltoral508 I wouldn’t call it a mess, but the gpu is most definitely outdated so it needs an upgrade. But being able to play on your tv, and on the go is great plus it has quite a bit of AAA ports, with the majority of them running consistently at 30fps, albeit with a huge graphical downgrade.
Never played skyrim. Have to Get it for The switch!
Simon Stang Lund Same, I just wished i didnt have to pay $60
TicotazII me too
ChelseaInsaneDay
Just like me. Except here where I am living is not out yet. Buy totally gonna buy it. It is such a great game.
@Ticotazil
Skyrim with all the DLC for Steam is $40. If you buy Skyrim for Switch physically it's only about $50. That's hardly a significant difference, and you're getting it portably which is a huge benefit.
Your a about to have a blast and it's portable
This is an amazing port. I hope that if Skyrim sells like hot cakes on Switch, Elder Scrolls VI will go straight to a Nintendo platform upon launch.
ChelseaInsaneDay Considering ES6 is likely going to be more complex than Fallout 4, I don't see that happening sadly.
Yeah it can. Since Fall Out 4 will come to the Switch.
Michelle Tackett as much as I'd love for that to happen, it can barely run on ps4 and Xbox one (bugs, frame rate issues) let alone playable on switch.
Xaldyn_155 um no. It does run and if the games sell on the Switch, third parties will MAKE it happen. Remember, Diablo was far superior to anything on any console powwr wise, yet look.
+Michelle Tackett pretty sure TES6 will be too much for the poor old switch to handle..
Already put 20 hours into it. I'm really loving getting back into skyrim!
FYI : I'm role playing as Wonder Woman this time :-) light armor, sword and shield, all the diplomat perks, blacksmith and enchanting, never runs from a fight, protects the little guy, doesn't use magic but enchants sword and shield. Fun so far!
Definitely playing this on the pooper.
nickwick35 Remind me never to buy a second hand switch!
I'm watching this vid on the pooper haha
The Switch was MADE for this I'm SURE! Haha
Definitely watching this on the pooper.
I was just playing Skyrim for Switch on the Pooper!!!
THE PROPHECY HAS BEEN FULFILLED!!!!
It's a testament to how good this game is that after all this time it can still be sold at full AAA price and be received as well as it was back in 2011. I just bought it for the third time.
The fact that they charged full price is still an open robbery. Idc what game it is
@@Metanoia000 Also pretty lame that they recently released an "update" and charged extra for that too
More like a testament to the audacity of capitalism
Capitalism = Freedom
Putting baskets over NPC's heads is one of my favorite side activities in this game.
Wait.
I have put hundreds upon hundreds of hours into this game and I'm looking forward to doing more of just that.
But in all my days spent in skyrim, I have never seen a chaurus hunter or a chaurus hunter fledgling.
God I love this game.
Even with this game being released over and over and over, I feel like they put Skyrim on the Switch as a set piece, which is why they showed it at the main trailer. To prove: "Hey, this system can do this, and pretty well." Basically as an invitation to third party to be like: "Are you in or out?" kinda thing. I really like that this is finally a reality.
I have never played Skyrim so I’m going to have to get it now for the Nintendo switch
Jon Smith you will be blown away my friend. Don't be surprised when you find yourself exploring dwemer ruins at 3 am 😁😁
You’ll lose your life. Believe me, it happens to the best of us
I was addicted to the game years ago. Still never gets old. Also, I wish for the new Elden Scrolls game to come to the Switch
It runs 900p on docked as per digital foundry, but still looks great and not very different from ps4 version
Yeah, except it will have no mod support on Switch, which is what is keeping Skyrim even playable all these years later. Switch version is honestly the WORST version of the game you could possibly get in today's console market.
DeadlyDanDaMan except it’s the best portable version.
DeadlyDanDaMan I don’t really want mods running on a handheld version of skyrim. Just my taste.
DeadlyDanDaMan oh no.. no mods.. right because that classifies a great game 😂😂 oh please stfu. This game is easily the best version. Let me know when your pc or x box or ps4 or any console could run this on an airplane 😂😂😂😂
Yeah, i dont care about mods. I just want to play the actual game...
It's a good game, and I ended up getting a copy as a bonus when I was getting Assassin's Creed: The Rebel Collection from a local Pawn Brokers. It was in the case with AC loose inside. And they still let me have it for no extra cost!
Just played this last night for the first time amazing game so far highly recommended
I've bought 10 games this month... And I still want this and RE... So glad I bought the Switch over ps4.. Especially after EA and battlefront 2 fiasco... Man fuck ea for life, I hope ea and 2k disappear from the Switch and take their microtransactions with them.
Dizzy Dee if 2k goes, so does rockstar
It makes me want to keep going. Spiral out.
Dizzy Dee But they both have good games though, just micro transactions are the big problem here
Dizzy Dee I'M WITH YOU!
I so agree with you. I am so happy with. Y Switch, the ps4 has some decent games for sure, but to me, the Switch is leagues ahead of them.
I’ve bought Skyrim for ps3, Xbox 360 and ps4 but by god I’m so excited to pick it up for my switch.
Damn that's dedication
I want to get this game again....but I just don't think I have the level of commitment that it deserves.
Tempted to go out and buy this today, as i just finished Zelda TOTK and need a new adventure/rpg to play. Interesting to see they included some zelda gear in the game!
One of my top 5 greatest games of all time!!!
Now I can climb vertically with horses *on the go!*
still blows my mind it runs better on my switch lite than it ever did on xbox 360
Just bought it. first time playing it and i’m loving it!
Is it on the cartridge or download?
@@alpha-boss I downloaded it, it was 14 GB
The Anniversary edition is on sale for $34 on the Switch eshop
I was playing it during my lunch break at work today. Never before has my lunch break ended so fast! Now I can carry my addiction on the go! :D
I got the game! Skyrim on the go? Fucking legendary!
I think I speak for many kids of the 80’s and 90’s I been wanting for a genuine 3D handheld game and we’re finally getting it
They've had genuine 3D games since the DS, with Super Mario 64 DS, but it kicked off more with the 3DS. It's nice to finally have modern 3D games on handheld. (Xenoblade on N3DS seemed to be the bridge to that.)
It runs at 900p docked and an adaptive resolution in handheld with a maximum resolution of 720p. This is the remastered version, though, so there’s no reason to complain.
It is so surreal that this Witcher 3 And dying light are portable. Makes me think maybe in 10 to 20 years red dead redemption 2 or cyberpunk 2077 will be playable on a portable system
Sooner than 10 years…..steam deck is coming too ..
I can't believe this game is still holding up in 2022. Even thought the graphics aren't great now, the art direction and the scenery is still beautiful. I love playing this game on a cloudy and cold day in the winter.
Just got it via ebay for 32 gbp :)
@@adamparr8029 got it during black friday , $10 ☺️
big minus for me : the size of the text (I mean the interface, the dialogues ..)..
Prepare... to loose your eyes on this title !
Every review for the switch version says that the loading screens are fast, but why do they seem far FAR longer than say, an Xbox or PlayStation, or a good PC? Switch loading times are PAINFUL! I think so anyway. It's a GREAT port! I have no other complaints here, but loading times are just awful to me. Maybe I'm spoiled with my PC.
HE'S OUR LORD!
FREAKING COOL!
OH MY GOD!
I miss my time with this game. Can't wait to get it!
Interested in this port, most definitely. Now I wonder if Bethesda will port The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion to the Nintendo Switch, as well...
I hope to the Divines that they will. There might be concerns about Microsoft owning ZeniMax Media now, but they just released Quake on the Switch a couple of months ago. And other Microsoft-owned games like The Bard's Tale ARPG and Minecraft managed to get Switch ports. So even if their new stuff will remain Xbox/PC-exclusive, I'm sure their older titles are still open for a release on Nintendo and PlayStation.
Is ot as good as on the Xbox? And is the DLC available with the game?
I’m between Skyrim and Doom
How should I give money to Bethesda?
Rodri G Skyrim cause its open-world, it will give you hundred + hours of gameplay
Y e s
How is this still $60 as a download after six years?!
Coz devs are greedy?
35 dollars right now
Looks neat but, same as with DOOM, I'm not going to make a habit of supporting full priced, years old, ports. Instead of getting milked by greedy Bethesda I'd rather spend that amount supporting proper new games, like Super Mario Odyssey or Xenoblade.
So at 60$, this and DOOM, are a nope. Will get them when they drop to 30$ or buy them second hand in a few months.
I got it for the Switch this morning woooo
i want it but i am going to wait till my next paycheck since i just wasted $150 on the pokeball 2ds and bought the new pokemon game :)
Had on every console going...jus picked up on switch ...🎉
Is it wor5h it?
@@RickP9st yes ...I got it for the link Armour ...I like zelda 2
I got this on PS4 and i love Skyrim im trying to figure out should i get it on the switch lite. I can get it for $45
did you get it?
@@dazedinaworld3181 i didn’t should i???
@@dekynpeters5774 I'm really enjoying it man. if you're interested in replaying it I'd give it another go
I got Kingdom Come a week ago and gave up today (lockpicking, combat etc), time to replay this.
I’ve never picked up Skyrim before so I think I’m gonna get it on the switch because I’m into games I can play for a long time. What is everyone’s opinion on it?
Played over 100 hrs by now and its been a great time. Skyrim is definitely a game that everyone should give a chance.
As for the switch version, its pretty much perfect. Frame rate is stable for the most part and only drops under extreme cases.
Visuals are fine, but the draw distance is definitely pretty low. Luckily, it only really affects patches of grass mostly so no crazy pop ins. HD rumble and gyro controls are quite amazing.
Aiming with a bow feels so good, and being able to feel yourself picklocking turns a task that was boring on pervious editions into something that is really fun.
Most people would agree its an amazing port, but maybe not worth full price. I got mine from the eshop when it was 20 bucks.
Runter Ranger I picked it up and it’s amazing. I got the latest special edition, though I’m not impressed by the huge amount of glitches. However, the story and ga replay are great, and the game can look beautiful sometimes!
i want the switch so bad now i may just do it to play skyrim everywhere lol
Bought lite week ago, im 35yrs old ..and im a PC gamer , wish i bought it sooner…usually play at work in my freetime or in bed before sleep…(currently playing Torchlight 2 , finished INSIDE, going to play DIABLO 2,3 next )
Dock mode actually runs at 900p
"If you're not quite the scaling type however, you can use zelda amiibo to unlock the gear"
... climbing the throat of the world is part of the main questline, why wouldn't you scale it XD
Bought it last night. First time player
Thoughts?
@@Cudizone_806
It’s fun, but it gets boring after awhile.
Pro’s: huge open world with unlimited options. The content is unlimited in this game. I have never played a game like that.
Con’s: I prefer a dungeon crawler arpg. Skyrim is good but the different missions feel like the same thing repeating.
@@Aarona-lj6wp try DIABLO or Torchlight
so this isnt SE version right? does it come with any of old dlc? or is the switch version just the basic vanilla version?
depore caladbog
All 3 DLC are included. It’s a bit better than the vanilla version but not quite the SE.. uses some SE stuff though. Looks good and plays well.
It's $60? I mean yes, great game. But, it is kinda older. I feel like $20-$40 sounds a litte more fair.
Agree, 30$ would have been the sweet spot for this and DOOM. I don't see how you can ask for more than 30$ on port of a game that less than 10$ on other platforms.
Dark Souls on the switch? That would be nice
dugal 40 and bayonetta 1 and 2+3
every thing on the switch?
From soft were on Nintendo’s developers they’re working with list so who knows!?
dugal 40 your wish has been granted
Hmm gonna have to make this a pick up
This will be my next game for the switch. I have super mario odyssey right now ,but feel like I need another good game.
The game itself looks amazing but the constant camera turning makes me dizzy. I could never play this in one long sitting.
My uncle's had it on Xbox 360 and they let me play it a little bit when they were not playing it and I'm older and have my own console now so now I want to play it full time when I want to play it
I’ll pick it up some time next year on a slow month and hopefully a lower price
I've officially had Skyrim on every platform it was released on except PC because I don't have a gaming PC 😂
Great Port but i cant play Skyrim without mods so i still playing it on Xbox
Which is bigger spatially and geographically; Skyrim or Breath of the Wild?
Alien Frequency breath of the wild. By how much, I don't know, but I think it's in the ballpark of 50% larger.
Interesting. Any game at least half as big as BotW is still huge.
Breath of the wild is bigger, but less dense
Alien Frequency Botw is much bigger 21 miles and Skyrim I believe is around 14 miles radius which I prefer I wish there were more castles and villages in Botw too much open space.
BOTW GOTY. Skyrim looks fantastic. I think it’s safe to say there’s something pretty special about both these titles. What I do know is after Playing BOTW with the first DLC pack it’s pretty hard for me to go into an open world game no matter how big, dense or small with out being able to interact with everything in so many different ways. Walk to a cliff then have to turn around blah. BOTW broke that boundary. Glider, climbing and jumping down are all an option. Sometimes more dense is not the answer. To each their own. Happy Gaming.
6 years later with 6 years old bugs deserve a 9/10? I love Skyrim but, really? I will only give 7/10 due to no mod support/simply a port, some credit for motion control, that’s my thought.
N Jeffrey
its your opinion but for me you don’t deduct a point just because its an old game. Its still the same if not better game that was a masterpiece 6 years ago. Also its the first time Skyrim was ported to a tablet.
No it's a good game and well ported
I mean, it deserves it somewhat still. It's a damn good port and it's still a fun game. Yes, it has been re-released plenty of times and bugs are still there but I feel that doesn't just make it automatically a bad game.
Yeah ok... but is it the Special Edition? or a ported Old Skyrim?
TheLoreSeeker it's the special edition that's similar to the Xbox one and PS4
Well it's a mix of both,graphics of last gen,more details of current gen
*Skyrim all in the cartridge?*
Yes
It's 900p docked, not 1080, and in portable mode the resolution changes dynamically depending on where you are... The native 720p and 1080p docked are false.
How are your hands not blurry?????
Is the whole game on the cartridge if I buy physical?
Powz yes the whole game is on the cart
There is a small (211MB) day one patch/update. But the game is completely contained on the game card and 100% playable out of the box
when you look at that tiny cart in your hand just think...
there's a whole Dovakin inside this thing. Yes. a Dovakin. A Dragon Born. Not a partial one... a whole one.. on that tiny quarter sized cartridge.
You may as well be holding the One Ring from the Middle Earth lore at this point with such great power stored in a tiny package.
I will always side with stormcloaks. Why? Because they weren’t the ones trying to chop my head off at Helgen. #fucktheempire 😂
Getting it for my birthday, cant wait!
And? Are you enjoying it?
I think this is just fantastic, looks very good, runs well, can't stop playing it.
Have you ever played it on any other system if so how well does it look and plays from them vs the switch
Got my copy today. 😀
Ha! Jokes on you. I have a secondary PC system built right next to my toilet… been playing Skyrim while I poop for years now 😌
Lmao, it's great playing video games on the shitter. Adding to the electric experience a portable game brings.
Why not review L.A Noire for Switch?
Skyrim: Breath of the Wild.
I'm still hoping they add mod support
Too bad the Link's gear is kind of useless! Pretty average to low stats, even after duel enchanting. Wish there was a sick 2 handed Master Sword that went the distance!
I love the British term "Waffling" and sincerely ask my fellow Americans to utilize it more often. Truly, I cannot fathom how I got through so much of my life without using it.
Jimmy Mullen speak english bby
Jimmy Mullen you Americans just want to be the complete opposite of the British especially in your English (Color? it's colour) and your roads
What a kerfuffle!
Now You’re Playing With Power Switch Power!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Skyrim definitely HAS NOT been superseded by other titles, it's been 8 years and no game has even come close to being better than Skyrim!
I bought it for PC a couple years ago, but I never got into it.
The combat system is very bad.
I tried it again on the Switch - and I love it ^^
I play as a Mage and it works fine.
Now it is time for Fallout 3/NV/4 for the Switch ;-)
For real. I love to see any fallout on the switch now
zelder scrolls
I call Skyrim “Terraria in 3D but with non-optional towns”
I'm not paying 80 fucking dollars for a 6 year old game... Edit: I literally already had it on steam that I bought for like $15 but I never ended up actually beating it
Jackalack313 M Canada. Welcome to fucking Canada lmao
I really want an honest opinion about Skyrim. I played some Elder Scrolls online and has a lot of fun with the exploration, combat, and looting, but was turned off by the overly-complex menus and things like Crafting and Alchemy. Is Skyrim better or worse in regards to being overly-complicated? I just want to do quests, level up and explore. Would I be screwed if I ignored the really complex stuff?
Samuel Baugh skyrim seems you can level up pretty easy from what i can tell , and i never played skyrim before and so far i finding it to enjoyable.
Samuel Baugh the best tging about skyrim is you can go as in depth or as simplistic as you like. Just want to explore, level up and fight with the weapons given to you/bought? Fine, you will have a whale if a tine and not feel like you are missing something. But if you DO want to craft, you can and its as satisfyingly deep as you want it to be.
If you haven't yet played skyrim, get it. Its dated graphically, but still one of the best worlds you will ever visit in a game.
Samuel Baugh You can completely ignore crafting if you want. You can even completely ignore following the main storyline! I know when I played it way back when I ended up spending most of my time trying to jump my way up mountains in a way I wasn't suppose to. You can pretty much focus on running around with a sword and shield and ignore everything else.
I like how people are reviewing this on the switch as if it was a new game...
A fair point. But the LEAST Bethesda could do is fix the bugs that have been plaguing this game for the past 6 years, instead of leaving it to mods like the Unofficial Skyrim Patch.
@@Lichdemonz That's the biggest complaint I have with it. Other than that, as a first time player(technically second time now), I'm loving it so much.
4:38
Did you just find a ring inside an elk?
#RPGLogic
Skyrim is complicated I need a PhD in teaching to teach a build
Best Switch Lite Game! 👏🌱🌳
Is it multiplayer?
I really wish it had optional multiplayer. It'd be the absolute perfect multiplayer game.
While I love its on switch the ps4 port is the superior copy unless you want portability. I own it on ps3, ps4 and this switch has copy.
How is it graphically compared to those consoles?Is it downgraded a lot of a bit?
@@alpha-boss it's better than ps3/360. Faster load times and looks decent.
@Ben last name Is it on the cartridge or download?
@@alpha-boss I have the cartridge my daughter opted for download. Both work well. No complaints
Running to GameStop right now!
its not native its dynamic resolution
Nice remake
Aww shit, i love that music ♥️
No mods...very unfortunate
still don't have the funds for my switch deym
I wonder if this port will get hilariously bad reviews?
Wow , Nintendo fans get zelda armor lol thats badass
Skyrim in the toilet!? Nasty!
I am watching this review on the toilet though 😐
7 years later and still a £50 game on the Switch 😅
Personally, I'll be passing on this as I'm at the point where I can't play Skyrim without mods. Still, I hope it does well.
Man nintendo is screwing over my wallet
