Do I buy this on PS3 or 360?
PC isn't an option.

Assuming you have both and don't have a preference in controllers, I'd say the XBox version.

The whole reasoning behind this is that the 360 was the lead development system and the only system where footage/gameplay has been shown with. The PS3 might be equally good or even slightly better, but Bethesda hasn't given any real information about it, so you'll need to wait for reviews which is only an issue if you want it on releaseday.

The 2nd reason why the 360 would be 1st choice is the fact that they'll get DLC 1 month before the PC or the PS3.

But PC would get so many mods from people, that it'd be like its own DLC.

Yeah I'ma get it on 360, my computer can't handle Skyrim, and the mods I'll get when I get my computer like next year & the PC price halves.

I saw it standing on the shelves in some store here, didn't look like it was a pre-order thingy so I think they kinda failed too lol...but I don't have the cash or interest atm for it so I just walked past it xD

I know that. But I won't complain.

Mmmm it seems to be a Dutch/Belgian thing. Anyway the shopowner was surprised as well and he hinted they were allowed to sell it rather than breaking the street date though that might have been a misunderstanding.

As far as I'm aware, you can buy and install it, but can't play it until the 11th. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've just bought it on Steam and I am preloading it now. Can't wait to be able to play!

That's the PC version. The Xbox and PS3 versions can be played now.

Who in their right mind would buy the Xbox or PS3 version?

I fart in your general direction! :nowant:

My PC would most likely blow up if I just tried inserting the disc.

Well... All I can say is this game is fucking brilliant.

I'd better get some sleep now as it's 4.30am. Alarm set for 8! (to play some moar)

Love · Post by **Love** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 4:52 am

WTB comments regarding fun factor although I'd really like those after at least 4 days of gameplay.

Brago · Post by **Brago** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 4:56 am

it has a quest generator so you can never run out of quests.

So endless gameplay

12 minutes later, its only at 35% of decrypting the game files from the preload. Taking forever...

Been playing for quite awhile now, amazing game! Fun as hell and just outright awesome!

vvvv kind of a spoiler but not really

Spoiler!

I'm tempted to buy the game but I'm not sure I have the time to care about it.

When you go to greybeards, make sure you level 7+ or the frost trolls will **** your day up

Spoiler!

7 straight hours of playing. Such a good game. Only stopped cause it crashed.

Got about 13 hours in non-stop from release at midnight (GMT+1, holland).

Class A game. Absolutely a killer. Every aspect of the game is Farking insane, seriously.

I'm all out magic and I'm loving every single minute of it.

To those saying this game is shit, you clearly have no taste what so ever and you never will. Don't tell yourself you like RPG's because if you don't like TES then you DON'T like rpg's.

Anyways! I'm having a ton of fun *drinks redbull* about 8 hours to go in our community's marathon

ps hunting is a total pain with a bow it's almost impossible lol. The animals zig-zag and shoot off in random directions!

Now that doesn't have to be true, people can enjoy like those japanese RPG's and not the 'western' ones o.O
