    Don't feel bad, I never finished Skyrim either. I really wanted to get into it, but I just couldn't. It's strange how it's so similar to Fallout in terms of layout and style, but while I adore the Fallout games, I couldn't really get into Skyrim even though I love fantasy and RPGs. Part of it, I feel, was because exploring and clearing out dungeons just didn't feel like it gave too much of a reward. Plus while Fallout mainly focuses on guns and distance weapons, Skyrim is a lot more limited in those, forcing you to do a lot of combat melee-style. Plus, Fallout just felt like it had more comic relief moments (heck, a lot of the dialogue and stuff like the vault boy, Nuka-Cola, and some of the absurd weapons and items just made the game much more fun), while Skyrim didn't really goof around with stuff like that at all.

    How could you not get into Skyrim? ;n; The Elder Scrolls games are my life <3 Well not really, but they are pretty damn awesome. I told myself that I would finish every single quest I could find, but there's just so damn many of them! Skyrim fetch quests do get pretty old, though. To that end, Oblivion dealt with quests better.

    I've never actually played a Fallout game myself, but I've been wanting to get into 'em since Fallout 4 looks pretty cool. I've heard that 3 is better, though?

    I'm playing Life is Strange at the moment, and loving it! Totally gotta thank @Xanthe for getting me hooked on this one. Like, urgh. I've never played such an emotional roller-coaster game in my life. Currently up to episode four!

I don't see another PokePark sequel coming in the future anytime soon, but man would I love to see another! I mean, I'd love to see one with all 18 starters, buuuutt...that will never happen. Still, the variety in gameplay that would entail! :o What I loved about PP2 was that each character had its own strengths and weaknesses. Snivy is great with getting to places quickly, but not ideal for battle. Tepig is a tank (that being said, he's hard to battle with because the character is just so stiff and stocky). Oshawott is slow but can swim fast and is a great balanced fighter. Pikachu is like a quicker version of Oshawott. AFADFDSfsdafsdf I WANT ANOTHER POKEPARK GAME DAMMIT
    STOP IT I LOVE POKEPARK 2 SO MUCH. I have very fond memories of the first one as well, but the second was undoubtedly better. I LOVED that each of them had their strengths and weaknesses. It made it feel like there was much more of a variety, and a little bit of strategy involved. I wish they made another. ;n; But Super Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is nearly out here (don't laugh Dx) and I'm keen to play that, FINALLY!

    It's odd. Skyrim to me...was good and bad. I had to break away from it time to time, but I finally finished it after a good long year. Lol if it weren't for the fact. I wandered around clueless and ran across one of the higher level dungeons it was like a lvl 60 dungeon while I was barely at 11) I may have quit earlier. After days of making my way through that carefully I got a shout (that thunderstorm one oddly enough. After that it was like my main shout I used through the game. May have given up the fans earlier if it weren't for that because before that I started getting extremely bored. I'm honestly not a big Fallout fan either though.

    The time is upon us...

    I'm having trouble getting into it as well. I've had it for a while, but am still on level 10. I can't really pinpoint what's wrong with it, either. :/
