Skyrim or Batman:Arkham Asylum

[lé Honk]

Guys..
Steam Summer Sale is on..
And I have wallet cash enough to buy only one of these two games...
I want them both,but sadly I have to choose
I have heard that Skyrim is an epic game which will me fall in love with it.
But I have also heard that Batman:Arkham Asylum is the best game of the franchise.
Also one point is that my PC wont be able to support HD graphics(which come with Skyrim Free DLC)and any mods...
So is vanilla Skyrim good enough..
However,I love Batman and want to get in the Arkham series...
Guys,I am really confused..
Please help..I have only 4 days to decide.
Thank you..

I'd say Skyrim. But why won't your PC be able to support mods? That doesn't make any sense, if you can run the base game, you can run the mods. They're not dependent on the HD textures packs. Just don't install an ENB or any of the modder made hi-res texture replacement packs.

Get Skyrim. There is a reason it is still alive and active in the modding community, it's a wonderful game! It'll make you want to buy the other games, Morrowind and Oblivion, if you haven't already. Go with Skyrim. Plus, if you get an newer computer, you will get the remastered, "Special Edition" free in October, as long as you get the 3 DLC's (worth it, by far!).

What are your PC specs? Skyrim has mods that actually improve performance and visuals at the same time. Never assume you can't run mods, especially on a game like Skyrim!

Also I have never played games this long..I have seen people with over 1000 hours in his game..Is this a grind intensive game,like do we have to farm a lot for leveling up and stuff?
Basically this will be my first RPG,so I dont know much about this genre

[Cathulhu]

Nah, people just enjoy playing it.
True, it does offer tons of content, but it doesn't require even remotely that much time to play through it.

Can you? Yes. The game is just better with the DLC and mods.

No. No real grind. There's just a lot of content that people enjoy playing, especially with mods. Technically you can "beat" the main quest in something like 2 1/2 hours if you're just playing it and using fast travel, but there's much more to the game than just the main quest.

Skyrim, I didn't really enjoy the Arkham games. Skyrim has infinite amounts of content.

[Sparky mark phillips]

Skyrim for sure, it is a very action based rpg, lots of epic battles, but you can play it however you want, be a thief, summoner, you can even avoid the battles and just make potions and armour, also with hearthfire you can make your own house, it really is epic, Arkham asylum is the only batman game i've played in the series but it is an excellent game, tricky to figure out how to play it, very stealthy and lots of gadgets to use, plenty of secrets to find, and i think if it is game of the year lots of challenge mods for more stuff to do, you won't get anywhere near as much replayability as skyrim though.

We're on similar ground, in term of specs, and I can run mods on Skyrim, and Minecraft.

Chances are that the mods you were trying to use on minecraft were either badlyy optimized, or were very resource intensive.

Skyrim has more content. Both are great though.

[AriTheAetherius]

Highly recommend getting th e"Legendary Edition" for now. All DLC at a great price!
