Every mid/high fantasy medieval game is a Skyrim clone, and here's why

Since the thread got mysteriously pruned for some reason when I wasn't done bitching about it
archive.is/KRWAt

Look at all these Skyrim clones with some having come out way before Skyrim was even revealed at all
Two Worlds II (worse)
Dragon Age Inquisition (better)
Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (worse)
Dragons Dogma (better)
Neverwinter MMO (worse)
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain (better)
Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (worse)
Dark Souls (better)
Risen 3 (worse)
Divinity Original Sin 2 (better)
Bound by Flame (worse)
Horizon: Zero Dawn (better)
Risen (worse)
Red Dead Redemption (better)
Divinity II (worse)
The Witcher 3 (better)
Age of Conan (worse)
Fallout 4 (better)
Elder Scrolls Online (worse)
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (better)

And this is what passes as a game journalist site article feature these days

>MGS 5
>Dark Souls
>Original Sin 2
>Fucking Red Dead Redemption

????????

>mysteriously pruned for some reason

It's yet another "let's endlessly bitch about dumb clickbait" thread.

...

GTA 3 is the biggest skyrim clone

>Skyrim invented open world sandbox games
huh???

>Two Worlds II came out before Skyrim
>MGSV
>RDR
>Dark Messiah came out 5 years before skyrim, entirely different genre
and isn't divinity a party based strategy game?

>MGSV, RDR and Meme Souls
>skyrim clones
Oh shit son, rabi-ribi is my favorite skyrim clone then.
>dark messiah of might and magic
>worse
Oh you mean that one game with amazing combat that skyrim tried to rip-off, but failed miserably even though they had the DMoMM developers working on it?

kotaku blog posts aren't articles.

How is Phantom Pain a Skyrim ripoff?

I wonder who the author is

>This entire thread

>le exact same thread
I want reddit to leave.

All open world games except BotW are terrible.

The author deserves to be crucified, of course, but please stop reposting these damn things.

This is why I don't like copyright law.
>What is a genre?
I much prefer innherent human creative freedom.

Fuck's sake.

Skyrim clone released before Skyrim?! How does that work, did those devs have a time machine?

>Dark Messiah of Might and Magic

Did he just wiki a list of games?!

>KoA is a skyrim ripoff
it's a fantasy game that came out around the same time but the combat plays more like fable 1

Rofl you atually didn't know Skyrim was the first open world game of all time. Get the fuck off my board you retard.

Dark Messiah of Might and Magic (worse)

what?

>Skyrim rip off

Is this the power of journalism? Is this what people read? Really?

But what is the skyrim of dark souls?

>Skyrim clone
skyrim is original

i fail to see how any of these are skyrim rip-offs

age of conan was an mmo from 2008 kek
skryim came out in 2011

>games before Skyrim got released
>shows ELEX
>talks about Risen
>Risen is also older than Skyrim

>Dragon Age Inquisition (better) than skyrim

I'm more than happy to shit all over skyrim, todd and his relatives but whoever think this is either a mongoloid or throwing the worse bait of our time

faggots treat skyrim as the bar setting medival just like they treat dark souls as the difficulty game in the same regard. its like they only started playing games in the last 5~ years.

>dark messiah
why is this even on the list
what kind of person is this retarded

A gaymen journalist.

>Fantasy Norse mythology is now the same as Medieval Fantasy

Help me understand.
