Got a dispatch confirmation yesterday, not sure if I'll get it early or not!
Posted 6 months ago # -
Don't know whether to get this or not I loved Ovlivion. Might wait a bit for the price to drop.
Posted 6 months ago # -
Me too, I buy it it means not leaving the house all Winter... will still probably cave in and get it though.
Posted 6 months ago # -
I will be getting it on Friday. Very excited. Can't see much work being done.
Posted 6 months ago # -
I've got some bits of metal and a pair of shoes turning up this week.

I'm off Thursday and Friday and way weighing up whether to buy this or COD. The video up there has persuaded me to wait til Friday and buy Skyrim.

Will there be a playable demo? maybe its wrong to say but the videos make it look boring and I like RPGs...

Well I'm getting it for
christmasthe event that shall not be named, so no spoilers please. besides I need to build a faster PC to actually run it at a decent speed. Currently replaying oblivion to whet my appetite.Sounds like they may have dumbed down some of the geeky features. "What do you mean I can't spend 3 hours sneaking in the oak and crosier to level up?"

Geeky features? You mean they've closed some of the loopholes that allow you to cheat?

Got it on pre-order from Amazon, not Steam this time as it's quite expensive there. Based on how much Oblivion ate into my spare time, I'm a bit concerned about the impact this is going to have on winter base training!

no cheating is messing around with the console and mods, using the game mechanics is a bit different. Spending hours practicing MTB moves on your front street instead of learning it all on the trail isn't cheating is it? Is using a turbo all winter then beating your mates up the hills next summer cheating? unfair advantage possibly but not cheating

PS if we are getting all technical about it it I'm not too impressed with the mechanics in fallout3, you can upgrade a skill to high level without ever using it, that's not right is it? I've heard rumours skyrim has similar levelling to FO, not been reading too much on it tho.

Received mine from Amazon today. On installation, it ties itself to your Steam account, which is fine, but then goes on to say... "Skyrim cannot be installed yet because it is not yet released". Cheeky buggers!

I assumed you were talking about entering sneak mode, facing a corner then putting a rubber band around the controller stick and leaving it overnight. Which would be a ace if you could do things like that with biking

Actually I need to stop posting on this thread, the more I keep it up the top the more chance there is of Mrs Grips seeing it.

Oh FFS! I hate this shit, I have an offline games PC coz I don't want to faff around with windows security updates and other guff. Why can't you just buy a game that works? Oh and steam can be a right old PITA even if you are online.
facing a corner then putting a rubber band around the controller stick and leaving it overnight
still not cheating, your character is practicing even if you aint there to see it

not AFAIK, when I bought HL2 I asked th guy in the shop can I play this with no internet connection he said "yes" wrong!Posted 6 months ago # -
As expected it's garnered excellent reviews on IGN & Gamespot. Gamespot has a live stream of game play going on - looks really, really good.
I can see the frequency of my winter mountain biking dipping off!

have realized that i will need to carry my 360 with me to the game shop tomorrow (to download the 1.1 patch for the game) as i do not have a phone line/no x box live.will be worth it though (if my back survives as it's a first gen system

Had a quick go round a friends house, it seems pretty good but I'm not really into RPGs. Seems like a huge improvement over Morrowind which is the only Elder Scrolls I've played.

nope doesn't work. Steam won't let you install games in "offline mode".

So, what, the game requires Steam? Wow. Is that a common thing these days? (I think the last boxed PC game I bought was Gabriel Knight III so I'm a bit out of touch)
Posted 6 months ago # -
This is the first one I've bought outside of Steam that actually requires it. Generally I don't mind Steam, it's a good way to get introduced in particular to indie games.

I've celebrated the approach of Skyrim by buying Fallout 3. Think I'll wait til the modders have got their teeth into skyrim

OK so I came home to find Skyrim had arrived a day early and haven't managed to get a conversation out of hubby since he started playing at about 5pm. Apparently I can expect to have a weekend of "me time" doing whatever I want, as long as it doesn't involve either him or the TV in the sitting room!
Wish I could ride at the moment!

Someone I worked with told me while at uni FF7 came out a couple of guys from their group of friends dissappeared for a week, completely dropped off the social radar, no-one heard from them, someone called round to their house to check they were still alive, "yeah just been on the playstation" have realized that i will need to carry my 360 with me to the game shop tomorrow
so you can play the 360 version offline? just PC users who suffer, what a gyp! that's windows-ist that is.Posted 6 months ago # -
For PC users struggling with frame rates, here's a tip. For some reason, vsync is enabled by default and can't be changed in game, which causes tons of mouse lag. Here's the fix...
"To disable VSync in Skyrim, add iPresentInterval=0 to the bottom of the [Display] section of the Skyrim.ini file in the \Users\[Username]\My Documents\My Games\Skyrim directory"
Also, if you're running CrossfireX (like me) then disable it as, yet again with a major release, there's negative scaling at work. Apparently a new CAP is "being worked on"...the ATI driver team on the ball as usual
. I've only played a few minutes but it looks good so far.

i need a new game can somebody tell me in laymans terms what its like, what its similar too etc.
i fancy a different game...
cheers

Help me out here.
Do I need Skyrim?
I enjoyed Dragon Age, but Oblivion left me cold. For that reason I've not really paid it much attention and know nothing about the Elder Scrolls series mythology.
What do other readers think?
