Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

it's supposed to be a brand new engine built just for skyrim, so hopefully the bugs will be minimal.

and it should be right up your alley.

We can be Text Chat buddies exploring whatever-the-world-is-called together!

Jealous much? Sheesh. Get it for the PS3 and we can make it a three-way.

You two would blow past me in the story line in no time. I'm getting it for my 360 and locking myself in for the winter. See you guys in the spring.

how long of a stretch you figure you can put in day one? I have 0 distractions too, so Im going for 10 hours straight....food and wine will be next to me to keep me going. I have a nice bottle of 2003 Dal Forno Romano I plan to crack to celebrate. Half the celebration will be because I have absolutely no accountability or company that day

I am going to do a first stretch of about 4 or 5 hours...thats from midnight. then sleep for like 4 or 5 hours...and I plan on doing a full working day Friday of it. so looking at 9 hours. Then family stuff, blah blah blah...and put in another 9 hours that evening/night/morning.
I will have snacks and the captain, Morgan that is....2 bottles (just in case )

I WANT TO READ SOME REVIEWS! My folks are coming to town tomorrow night. They'll be here all weekend. Looks like I'll be playing this after they go to bed with the headphones on. Bad timing. I get my sleep habits from my mom. She stays up as late as I do.

Pitty there's no split screen co-op then

You kind of remind me of Paul Giamatti in the last scene from Sideways.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Review

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the big, bold, and beautiful sequel you hoped for and is sure to bewitch you for countless hours.

The Good

Immense world stuffed with varied tasks to perform
Dragon battles are a blast
Lovely art design capped by some beautiful, atmospheric touches
Enjoyable battles that you can approach in a variety of ways
Lots of compelling, self-contained stories to experience in addition to the main one.

The Bad

Glitches and bugs frequently disrupt the immersion
Friendly AI is often more of a hindrance than a help.

Gamespot Skyrim Review

here are your reviews if you really need to have someone else's opinion.

burnt out?

Don't like hearing about glitches.

I got your glitch right here buddy.

The reviews above are for the 360. I went to IGN, read their review, then another story with the headline, "Where's the Skyrim review for the PS3?" They weren't sent an advance copy. I'm wondering if any review site was sent a PS3 version. That makes me incredibly nervous. Why wouldn't they include the PS3 version with the 360 and PC versions they sent out.

I really don't want to have to throw my controller through my TV this weekend...

I can't wait for a repeat of the GOAT test glitch five minutes into the game.

@ frankthetoad - open my link, dickbag.

it links to about 10 reviews.

I got your PS3 review right here buddy.

Here is a "con" from one of the reviews I read
"will suck up your entire life for at least a month."

http://www.wired.com/gamelife/2011/11/skyrim-review/



All the reviews say there are "occasional" bugs and glitches, but if I think hard about it every RPG i've played has them. Im ok with them as long as they aren't as bad as Fall Out 3.

Can't remember if it was Joystiq's or 1UP's review I read that said the wonderful Bethesda glitch of things slowing down as the game progresses is there. Interior load times of 5-10 seconds. And more. But they didn't prevent either site from giving it a perfect score. I'll still be waiting for a patch. Too much other stuff to get through first.

the reviewers are playing from copies that do not have the patch which is being released tomorrow....at least thats what I read.

I read a review on the PS3 revision...just skimmed through it. I mentioned something about only have 30% of the quests the Xbox version has, and is rendered in 120p instead of 720p.

Hope that helps

Oh, well that's good to know. Would be nice to see a list of fixes associated with that patch. Hoping to dig into this around Xmas time!

There is a list some where, and two things I remember reading was "general performance issues" (or something like that), and quest advancement fixes.

UPDATE: Here is the exact quote “some minor stability and quest progression issues.”
