Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim[views:1105504][posts:1457]___________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 8:48am - arktouros ""] any laptop that could run new games costs twice as much as a better desktop, so desktops. rev has a good point, you really need to know a lot about PC hardware and how long the shelf life of a typical setup would be. i just upgraded my computer for the first time in 4 years and not because it wasn't performing, but because i stabbed my motherboard with a screwdriver. another reason PC isn't much more reliable than a red-ringing xbox. i still went through 3 xboxes all the same before i got rid of it. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 8:50am - arilliusbm ""] i'm never going to stop defending PC/Computer gaming, maize eaters. you guys all sold your souls a long time ago. |
| ___________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 8:52am - arktouros ""] pc gaming is making another comeback. skyrim is getting fantastic numbers on PC. SUPPROT |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 8:55am - arilliusbm ""] When I die, all I want my gravestone to say is: "PC Games > Modern Console Gaming" |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 9:23am - AndrewBastard ""] Jim: so why did you say this: arilliusbm said:Wouldnt be an issue if it WERE ON A COMPUTER! bringing an entire desktop setup to my uncles would be easier than bringing my xbox disk and a tiny Memory Unit ? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 9:29am - arilliusbm ""] Steam. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 9:34am - AndrewBastard ""] does that imply downloading it to my uncles computer? |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 9:36am - arilliusbm ""] only cornering me proving a point that console gaming is easier is real. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 9:59am - AndrewBastard ""] I think you've done the opposite... what are the chances my uncles computer can even run this game?...all this tech mumbo jumbo you guys are talking about required to play this game.... |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 10:11am - Alx_Casket ""] 8.7% |
| _______________________________ [Nov 15,2011 10:12am - ark ""] meh. probably slim chance. and you can't just pop in the xbox disc either. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 15,2011 10:13am - ark ""] yeah i'd say 8.7% |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 10:15am - arilliusbm ""] In a case such as that, if you had a laptop that could run it, you could play it ANYWHERE. As you can see, pros and cons. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 10:16am - arilliusbm ""] PROS AND CONS BUT MORE PROS THAN CONS ON PC |

And besides, all the best computer games came out in the 80s and 90s. Like metal. my video card runs this game on high settings (looks better than 360) and was 130 bucks. instead of wasting money on faggy ipads, you could be playing games on a computer, the way they are meant to be post PSX. I never understood the iPad appeal. It doesn't run flash, yet it is supposed to act like a computer? FAIL. |

| ________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 10:41am - Pires ""] I'd take your hard drive just in case. It ain't that big and is worth taking if you're going to be there for a while. |
| _______________________________ [Nov 15,2011 10:43am - ark ""] AndrewBastard said: ark said:and you can't just pop in the xbox disc either. what do you mean? meaning you'd either need to download a torrent for the PC version, buy it on Steam, or buy the retail PC DVD version. xbox discs only work on xbox. |
| _____________________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 10:57am - blessed offal nli ""] I've always been into PC gaming but I'm enjoying this just fine on xbox 360 so who gives a shit? ....back to skyrim.... |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 11:03am - arilliusbm ""] Better graphics +use of a mouse + BETHESDA ORIGINALLY MADE ELDER SCROLLS GAMES FOR COMPUTERS ... That's who cares. Argument will never eeennnnnddd. Nevvvvvarrrr!! Playing this game on xbox is like owning a rereleased Les Legions Noire album on CD. DOES NO COMPUTE |

Jim: I didnt realize you had all the LLN stuff on original demo tapes and not just mp3s we downloaded from DC++ LOLOLOLOOL |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 11:09am - arilliusbm ""] lol. Only a sole moevot copy is real |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 11:10am - arilliusbm ""] you got me andy boy. BAD ANALOGY |
| _______________________________ [Nov 15,2011 11:11am - ark ""] even if the skyrim interface sucks on PC (which i hope they fix) it still beats the hell out of oblivion's |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 11:13am - arilliusbm ""] I love it now. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 11:19am - arilliusbm ""] Andrew, how was it baked? I know you rarely smoke now.. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 11:20am - AndrewBastard ""] i love the way the menu works in this Vs Oblivions. Morrowinds was the worse. |
| ________________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 11:36am - AndrewBastard ""] arilliusbm said:Andrew, how was it baked? I know you rarely smoke now.. i NEVER smoke these days... I have a one hitter and I literally pack the tiniest bowl, take 2 solid hits and I'm friend for at least a mission, usually two missions. I'm still technically off the pot though. When I smoke that shit while out partying it just puts me to sleep. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 12:51pm - Alx_Casket ""] Life was so much easier a week ago. |
| _____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 12:54pm - arilliusbm ""] How do you guys like the lock picking now? I love it. Fucking fun. Also, it seems like it is easier to obtain lock picks too. |
| ____________________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 1:02pm - blessed offal nli ""] I like that you can just get lockpicks anywhere, but I liked the system better in Oblivion. When the dragons talk to each other, the language sounds like Jabbas language. Oh and theres some chick named Delphine...... FUCK-A YOU, DELPHINNNNNE |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 1:04pm - Alx_Casket ""] It's getting easier to pick high level locks. At first it was damn near impossible to do a master lock, but I like that they give low level characters the opportunity to try. And where are you getting lockpicks? In Oblivion, merchants had a ton of them. Now they only have a few, if you're lucky. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 1:06pm - arilliusbm ""] Just about every bandit (especially the silver douches) carry them. In oblivion, it was usually the goblins who had them. |
| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 1:08pm - AndrewBastard ""] lock picks are everywhere! but the whole system seems pretty much the same as in Oblivion to me minus the vibrating thumb stick which I kinda liked. its way easier. |

| _______________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 1:10pm - AndrewBastard ""] hahah what the shit? whats that? maybe playing on PC is better. |

| ______________________________ [Nov 15,2011 1:20pm - ark ""] nude mods! i got a sweet mod that changes the night sky to a high res real stellar photography background and keeps the constellations in the game there. another good one lets the game executable use 4GB of ram. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 1:22pm - Alx_Casket ""] if you can modify a game, chances are high that you'll see nude skins eventually. I made the first nude stripper mod for GTA: Vice City, it had a ton of downloads haha |

In Oblivion, merchants had a ton of them. Now they only have a few, if you're lucky. merchants didnt sell lockpicks, the only place you could buy them was from the thieves guild itself, or find them in random places. |

| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 2:10pm - arilliusbm ""] I love how all of us are fucking stuggling when we're at work. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 15,2011 2:13pm - Alx_Casket ""] Girls wish we cared this much about them amirite |
| ______________________________ [Nov 15,2011 2:16pm - ark ""] not sure what you're talking about, was playing earlier whilst patching servers |
