If They Ask Where You Went...Say Skyrim

I cant freaking wait. I havnt even bought any of the previous versions, so I have no idea why Im so excited. I think its just cause I haven’t bought and played a good game in a while. The polish looks insane…and lets hope there are a lot of spells <3

But yea I haven’t been excited for something in a while, Ill be getting this @launch

I talked about this with a friend. There are too many games!!!

Why don’t some of these assholes release games in March, or periodically. Now I am going to end up buying 1 or 2 instead of all cause by the time I get to them they will played out. Skykrim will take my soul, yes. But, umc3? codmw3 or bf3 wtf…

Not to mention KOF13 hits on the 22nd.
I’m just gonna gamefly mw3 and umvc3 and buy MGS collection, Skyrim, and KOF.
Seriously, fuck developers for putting all their release dates within 2 weeks of each other.

I pre-loaded that shit last night. I’m gonna wake up on Friday, give the kids some breakfast then play that shit all day. Poor kids, gonna be ignored by their father all day long. Well, at least till lunch time. I’m a bad daddy.

Skyrim-jobs for everyone :encore:

I think that’s what Rockstar does. GTA5 will probably release in the spring/summer and will sell 20 million units because there are no other games out during that period. All the other publishers like to hold onto their big titles until the holiday season.

Sigh… Games get released during Q4 because people with jobs and families buy all their games at christmas, the money of millions of mothers who dont give a shit about Link is more attractive than a few ‘hardcore gamers’.The fact that you don’t have the money to buy these games is why they don’t cater to you.

The majority of games sold at retail are sold through Walmart, not Gamestop. The money of the tens of thousands of scrubs who will play with gems against their clueless buddies is more attractive than the few thousand people in the world total who play at serious tournaments, etc etc. It’s a joke. Even if every single member in the SRK/ fighting game community rallied behind KOF13 and bought a copy, it would still be a massive flop. We are simply not that important right now, while the vast majority of games are being bought for children by their parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc.

ps: Games bought during Q4 can’t be pirated either so chew on that the next time you google up pirate bay and wonder why Devs seem to be actively working against you. They probably are, Mom’s with christmas money don’t torrent. Mom’s buying birthday presents (October is literally the most popular month for birthdays) don’t either.

so what kind of character are you guys going to make.

i like to think of a character archtype before i get the game to avoid making a simple nord warrior who always takes the good moral path

think im going for a hand to hand combat specialist with some defensive magic. havent decided his personality yet

Probably the canon hero for this game but i’m going to do an Anti-Hero Argonian Warrior, then later a Dark Elf Thief Assasin kind of thing.

Whats the best way to buy this game? I’m thinking on Steam because they’re the only people who have the digital download for it right now, but I want it from Amazon so I can get 20 dollars off(thanks gears3), I don’t really like buying games on steam because they kinda put limitations on you imo. I want this shit at midnight, so should I run to Walmart and get it or just download it via steam?

skyrim reviews are starting to pop up

Obviously the PC version is gonna be the best but apparently you cant bind spells and such to the keyboard. Stupid consolization.

Downloading the game right now though. heh…

Ok just played a little of it. REALLY hate how much consolized it is. You cant click on anything in the menus with your mouse. You gotta use your arrow keys and press Enter and shit. UGHHHHHH its very minor but its so annoying. Like an itch that is in a place you cant reach on your back.

Gonna stream the game in a lil, after i finish up this translation work…

Lazy developers… They can put an entire world into a game, but god forbid they allow you to use your mouse for anything else but moving your character around.

UI overhaul that lets you use your mouse is gonna be one of the first mods for this game from the sound of it.

My copy was shipped through Purolator and hopefully arrives tomorrow and isn’t delayed until next week because of Remembrance Day.

I dont give a fuck about mouse and keyboard, I’ll be using my 360 controller to play this game.

Damn straight,

I straight toke the 360 controller and plug it in.

Im pissed they got the lockpicking basically the same as Fallout but its all good.

I’m used to playing both console and PC Oblivion so I could go either way. I’m so excited, I can’t sleep seriously. Once I get out of class tmrw, its Skyrim time.

Will this be worth buying on the PS3? That’s really the only viable option I have since I need to upgrade my PC but I wasn’t sure if the graphics were a lot worse on console or if the controls weren’t as good. Help?

Don’t be silly.

Everything is always better on PC.

Goooood, goooood.
