I'll be buying Skyrim used after a patch fixes it. 1 Small dabble in the water in hopes they put more work into there next product.

i used to love bathesda until I started complaining like a five year old.

 

bathesda still should win best developer of all time in the history of videogames lol

fixed

i have reasons to complain :)

Then buy the 360 version or PC version, if it is that bad for you there are options.


i pay 60 euros for the ps3 version, i dont pull euros from my ass to buy 3 versions of the game ... i am waiting for the patch to fix it ...

I have no problem with complaints, but people are acting like the committed rape on 10,000 Nord woman. Hope the next patch does more of the faults justice.

if they could be more active with community people could stop whinning , but its been more than one month and people lost the patience , next patch will not solve the problem they say, maibe in the end of january  will be fixed .

For whatever reason they are doing the PC patch first too. That sucks, but my bet is on the fact that they are putting most of their efforts into creating downloadable content when they should make it better for the most dedicated fans. The thing is like every corporation they are interested in making money first.

@Griffin Why would an obvious Sony fan buy Skyrim for the 360? Why not post your GT so we can see if you really are playing on the 360?

Thing is, asking for someones GT/PSN ID for proof of something is pretty useless cause they can just give you their friends ID and act like it's their's.


aparently now in this forum people have to prove they have the games

But proving that you have a game is pretty much impossible to do so when someone says they have a game the only thing you can really do is either believe them or don't believe them.

Well it could be that they are working on a PS3 patch but it may be such a hard problem to fix that it's taking them quite a while.

 

But anyways I think Bethesday should give their first big DLC away for free to the PS3 owners as an apology for doing a bad port.

Griffin I have to say the problems you are describing are not consistent with the 360 version. My guess is your 360 is on the way out or you have a defective copy which just doesn't seem logical.

this I have a dozen friends who have the 360 version and have each played it for over one hundred hours. The only problem that any of them have ever experienced other then small things like dragons occasinally acting funny, is that some quest items do not dissappear after finishing the quest and so you are stuck with them.

Personally the only glitches I experience with the pc version of the game is that menu hotkeys occasionally don't work. 

I think user scores on metacritic prove either griffin is exceptionally unlucky or lying about the version he has.

The problem is time spent won't really give a good picture of the amount of the world explored or possible items around or which missions they have done.  I'm at 249 locations discovered and 128 cleared dungeons, 65quests and 201 misc ones completed.   I'm at level 71 on the 360 version right now.

@Griffin Why would an obvious Sony fan buy Skyrim for the 360? Why not post your GT so we can see if you really are playing on the 360?

Well it's kind of obvious when your profile says you are a sony fan and list 4 xbox games out of 105 total and none of them are Skyrim. Then you spend all that time bashing the 360 version. Doesn't take a genious...

a picture could prove that but i dont think it´s necessary, 5 or 6 guys in this forum asking me to prove i have the game so far lol

Well even with a picture people could still say that it's not really your game and you borrowed it from a friend to make it look as if you have the game.

So really apart from a bunch of people on these forums knowing your GT/PSN ID and vouching for you there is no good way.

where did i bash the 360 version ?

i am waiting to play the game properly to rate it and add it , you don´t need to be a genious to think of it...

what is the problem i be a sony fan to this conversation , but who are you ?

Oh he's talking about Griffin not you. And frankly I don't believe Griffin either since I've never seen him say anything even neutral towards the 360. 

You I believe though.

Skyrim more popular then Dark Souls sure. Clearly better? Personal Taste. I'm still excited a rpg won game of the year tho.


Well one has a metacritic of 96 and the other a 89. Id say it appears clearly better to me.


If you think games are better becuase Metacritic says it  thats you. I form my own imperssions  from what I see and play and I haven't even said Dark Souls is better.  Metacritic doesn't dictate anything.  Darksouls deserved to be on GoTY list (In my opinion) but just because people like Skyrim doesn't mean Dark Souls is unworthy.

I never said you said that either, but indiviual gamers opinions mean squat. A metacritic score is based on dozens of professional critics reviews, that does mean alot and going by the scores one game looks to be better than the other one easily. Not that Dark Souls score is poor in its own right though.

These "Professional Critics" are  nothing more then people with opinions. They arent the good game deciding overlords so no Skyrim isn't "Clearly" better.  AND if they were "Professional" they would have been mass talk about the problems it has. Skyrim can be better then Dark Souls in every possible way however it losses in 1 ascept. Dark Souls accutally works as intended. :)

Opinions that influence countless readers decision on buying the game or not. My or your opinion couldnt get thousands of people to buy a game theirs does. Still though it obviously is a better game, hence the better scores, user scores and awards.

Its an opinion that it's a better game not a fact.

It aint a fact that Skyrim is a better game than Big Rigs either but it is.

Opinion =/= fact. Super Mario Galaxy must shit all over Skyrim then because it has a 97.

Nah a 97 on the Wii wouldnt be a 97 on the PS3/360. Just like a 97 on DS wouldnt be as good a game as a 97 on the PS3/360.

Yes I was talking about Griffin.

A 97 is a 97 its the same reviewers giving these scores so it doesn't matter which platform its on. According to you SMG is a better game then Skyrim no matter what.
