Day 1 no matter what.

Its my most anticipated game of the year, even above Uncharted 3, LA Noire and Resistance 3.

I'm cautious about Bethesda games now.

Oblivion looked beautiful and it was decently fun...for a while.  It gave you too much freedom and I eventually got so powerful that the game was a joke.  When I decided I should do the story, I didn't even remember what it was since the only story mission I had done was escape the prison.  At that point, I just didn't care and have any motivation so I stopped.  I tried it a few more times but it was always pretty much a variation of that story.

With Fallout 3, it was largely the same but I mainly did the main story and eventually got bored of the game.  I got so powerful enemies were largely a joke and the story eventually got to a point where it really died down and let me do my own thing for a while and I just lost interest.

See, the problem with 20 plus hour epic games is you have to have the gameplay to support a game that long and a story I care about to keep me going.  Bethesda games this gen at least mechanics are pretty muh sub-par so it's hard to keep those interesting.  They're easy to break and even when you don't game the game, they're still hard to stay interesting to me.  That's why most single player shooters aren't longer than 10 hours.

And then there's the story.  I'm sure Oblivion had an interesting story and Fallout 3 was interesting, it's just they give you too much freedom and you eventually forget about the story and stop caring.  At that point, there's really no reason to keep playing the game.

I'll keep an eye on Skyrim, but it's not a definite buy at all for me yet.

Actually, not really.

The main quest for both were passable, average at best.

New vegas was better, but there were too many bugs that pissed me off.

Now, if we could get Bioware doing the story, it would be epic.

going to be my first day one game since the good old gamecube days. Having some issues with my PC's graphics card but I'll buy a new one if I have to when the game's release date approaches.

If Steam sales count as the bargain bin, than probably. There are so many games I'm looking forward to besides this...Portal 2, Pikmin 3, Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword, Rock of Ages, The Grinder...Elder Scrolls would be an after thought.

I'm not sure if I'd like Elder Scrolls. Pokemon, Borderlands, and Monster Hunter are the only 'rpg' games I have liked. If it's anything like Final Fantasy, Fallout, or anything with linked hits, I'll most certainly pass.



Day one probably.

But I bought the ESIV Game of the year addition as my first HD game for my PS3 more than three years back and I felt like it was the best game for my money I had ever bought, still do actually. It will be as hard as quiting herion for me to wait for the game of the year addition, but it is so worth it if you do.

I will be buying it for PS3 even if it is the worst version because I want to see Sony make profit this gen and Microsoft already is.



Why is this a question, this a certainty.
