You played 33 hours in 3 days? Are you okay?

One of my Steam friends has played it for 70 hours in 5 days o.O and he played about 38hrs in the first 2 days. And he's a college student, how is this possible??



Pfft, that's nothing. I once played Naughty Bear for over 35 hours in ONE day!

It was an intense session.

if skyrim, doesn't look good on your pc its probably your pc and not skyrim,@ dude who complained about visuals
playing it on the same pc that could handle oblivion is not an option


Why would you say that? I'm playing on a high end rig with everything maxed and the visuals are not that good imo. The art direction is fantastic but the overall visual quality is not great, and certainly a huge step down from what Oblivion was when it launched. You know what though? Its fine, but don't blame the computers if someone isn't blown away by the graphics. Perhaps you're not used to PC games? There are some sensational looking games out there, The Witcher 2, for instance, makes this look like Oblivion (yes, The Withcer is not free-roaming, no need to remind me). The textures in Skyrim are oftentimes horrible, animations are still robotic and the foliage looks rather poor in most places (foliage is a tough one). There will be mods around after a while which adress these issues though, Oblivion had some incredible mods that made the game not only awesome visually byt also gameplay-wise, there are quite a few issues I'd like to see fixed in Skyrim that Bethesda themselves are unlikely to fix.

i think you and me think differently about being not optimal and bad?

I wasnt to sure about pickin up skyrim...but decided to try it out. Yesterday i spent over 12 hours playing it. I dont think Ive ever played a game that long in a day...and the sad part was those 12 hours felt like only a few hours.

Skyrim is my choice for GOTY hands down. (tho im curious to see how the new zelda game is)

I'm so happy to read posts like this.

When it comes to the PC version, some things can be considered bad, and not simply "not optimal". There are several issues.

I'm a big fan of the PC version of the elder scrolls as well, but I always wait for the GOTY edition to come out.  usually by then the MODS have done some incredible things to the game both visually and gamplay wise that make it feel like a whole new experience.  Personally I start with the 360 version as I am doing right now, for me vanilla skyrim should be considered a 360 exclusive, it plays smooth, looks good, and of course you get the nice controller and tv to play it on. 

Then once you are done with the 360 version you can pick up the PC version, usually for around 29.99 or 19.99.
