I'm not sure why this topic is even relevant. A game being polished doesn't make you want to play it. Skyrim was unpolished vs say Uncharted but I'd rather play the former. This just seems like ammo for console wars, not something that's meaningful to those actually looking for consoles to buy.

Skyrim isn't unpollished, its just really buggy. We just allow it because its a technical masterpiece.

Skyrim isn't unpolished, it's just really buggy..? You do realise how ridiculous a statement that is, right..? What on earth do you think the term 'polish' means lmfao

A semantical argument about the meaning of defintions is pointless, polish was never defined as being free from bugs, irregardless of that the game has a lot of content which would usually be reffered to as polished, with a game as large and technologically advanced as Skyrim, being buggy doesnt mean its not unpolished.

No semantics involved at all. A game that is said to be 'polished' cannot, by definition, be 'really buggy' whatever genre it is. Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii is a polished game, and Xenoblade Chronicles X will be a polished game. Skyrim is not a polished game by any stretch of the imagination, same goes for Oblivion before it.

I'm a big fan of the Elder Scrolls franchise and have been since it started with the very first game.

The worst thing to happen to gaming was the popularity of the internet in the average home. This allowed publishers in the 7th generation to release unpolished games and allowed them to patch the bugs at a later date.

Whether you believe that Nintendo are the best in the business or not, one fact that remains is that their games rarely crash and rarely need patches...they're more polished at launch compared to other games from other publishers.
