Skyrim review thread. I think they're trying to say it's good.

There's a console version?

Those are my two choices, sadly.

I assume the 360 version is the way to go, on consoles, but then I keep hearing about texture issues.

I would have thought 10'a from gamespot and IGN because of the hype before the game came out many predicting it would become GOTY, still awesome scores and still might be GOTY.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

Intro, lots of dragons, spells, environments and music.

I didn't want to buy it. But my co-worker got me excited and then I started paying more attention to it.


... release day delivery on Friday now. So hyped. Looks amazing!

Game looks great on both, but there is a weird texture glitch on 360, mainly with your character's hands. Many people saying it's related to installing to the HDD, but it's still somewhat unclear.

My condolences.

From experience, I'd go with the 360 version by default.

WTF? @RPS he has not fought a dragon in his 30 hours??

It's hard to believe since we have seen some youtube videos people fighting dragons pretty early in the game.

Tempting, but I think I'll wait for a sale later this year. Zelda will consume most of my time from its launch until the end of the year and my gaming dollar also has to worry about Rayman: Origins next week.

Wow that's awesome.

And WTF is up with Gametrailers and posting spoilers in all their fucking reviews? Seriously, I've stopped watching their reviews because of that crap.

Well, that's what they usually do. But their video reviews are really well made, although, spoilers are an unfortunate side effect of that.

Took me 50 hours to even reach Vegas in Fallout New Vegas...some people go there immediately.

My first time playing oblivion, I avoided the first scripted oblivion gate for dozens of hours, the sort of place most naturally see within 2 hours.

Is it just me or the ratings are through the fucking roof with every major games this fall?

It's either we have the best fall season ever (I hope so) or gaming journalism is now confirmed a complete joke.

Oblivion reviewed well too and I didn't care for that. Loved Morrowind.

Guess I'll pick this up in a few months.

It can be both, this generation has overhyped everysingle game that had a huge marketing push behind.

A lot of this years 9/10 games are a 6 or 7 imo.

Have you played any of the games and disagreed with the scores they've gotten?

Jesus Christ.

I wasn't a fan of Oblivion but there's no way I can pass this up. Must...finish...other games...first...Urgh

I usually buy on 360 for multiplatforms but if it's having issues installing to the HDD then I'm not sure... my 360 is loud as hell when reading off the disc.

Every time a Bethesda game comes out, all of the hype and promise starts to make me want to buy it. I remember my disappointment with their previous titles, but something always convinces me that things will be different this time. Skyrim looks awesome, but so did Oblivion and fallout 3. I HATED Oblivion, and Fallout 3's jankiness got to me after a while.

I think I'm gonna wait on this one. Maybe these types of games just aren't for me, even though on paper they sound amazing.

I am totally getting caught up in the hype for this game. I just hope it doesn't suck like Oblivion did.

This is making the decision not to get the game now all the more frustrating. I hate having a budget sometimes.

you speak so well
My hype for this is at an all time high despite not being the biggest fan of Oblivion (but Morrowind is one of my favorite games ever). Bring on tonight, need some more Elder Scrolls in my life.

there's a comparison video between the 360 and ps3 version on the german 4players site http://www.4players.de/4players.php...lls_V_Skyrim/PS3Xbox_360_Grafikvergleich.html . textures seem to be better on ps3 but it's suspicous that almost every european publication (even the pc magazines) got the 360 version to review.

It's nothing major at all but I can see the difference, I'm glad I switched my pre-order over to PS3 after hearing the texture problems on 360 in the OT.

Damn that's old. Why haven't you updated? I wouldn't be surprised if you'll lose the ability to play new Blu Rays soon. Gotta keep that key updated.

I keep hearing about the 360 texture issues but haven't seen any coverage on it. Is it still just a minor issue some people are experiencing or is it something that is more wide spread?
