| ________________________________________ [Aug 18,2011 10:46am - AndrewBastard ""] i'd play on console if i had a half way decent PC but I have a terrible laptop... |
| _____________________________________ [Aug 18,2011 11:09am - Alx_Casket ""] A bunch of game devs have said that the control scheme is better on console than PC. PC controls for Oblivion were just fine, and when it comes to dual wielding and other commands, I have enough buttons on my mouse to handle everything. And my ps3 controller works on my PC if all else fails. What. |

| _______________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 7:57am - AndrewBastard ""] I'm playing it on xbox 360...always have so I'm pretty psyched. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 8:13am - arilliusbm ""] 360 is inferior nigga |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 8:40am - AndrewBastard ""] YEAH WELL I USE AN APPLE LAPTOP AT HOME SO "PC" ISN'T REALLY AN OPTION NOW IS IT? I prefer it on console honestly. The only games I prefer on PCs are ones where you're using a mouse to do things, ie diablo, warcraft, command and conquer etc. I never understood how people played those on console... But I preferred games like doom/duke nukem/q3e with a controller hooked up to my PC; why not just play on console? |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 8:47am - arilliusbm ""] I guess it's just a matter of preference. I personally cant stand playing ANY 1st person game with a controller. Also, the video card in 360 is outdated, although they made it for the console. That was a major backstab to us PC fags because all previous Elder Scrolls games were designed as PC games first and foremost. |
| ______________________________ [Oct 18,2011 9:12am - ark ""] the PC version won't suffer any. don't worry. xbox is the old crotchety console by now but it won't detract from the experience. I'm thinking about getting the ps3 version only to add to my collection, i've noticed PS3 stuff is holding it's value really well. I'll still play it on PC though. There's a Metal Gear remastered collection coming out around the same time. Plus I'm thinking of dropping $ for the Skyrim collector's edition. Goddamm that's mad $$$. |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 9:28am - AndrewBastard ""] what comes with collectors edition? expansions? I only just recently started playing Shivering Isles for Oblivion and its hard as a mother fucker! |
| ______________________________ [Oct 18,2011 9:30am - ark ""] surprisingly, there is no DLC or expansion crap that you have to pay for. it just comes with cool boxes, an art book, and a sweet bookend. [img] |
| _______________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 9:30am - AndrewBastard ""] the bookend makes it all worth it...I may sack up and snag that too. |

Its an open world rpg like oblivion and you kinda find survivors along the way to get quests and what not. Its holding me over until skyrim cuz deus ex was kinda boring. |

| ___________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 4:41pm - arktouros ""] the PC version will have a HUGE community of turbonerds with endless free time to create mods and add-ons, just like morrowind and oblivion. consoles can't do that shit. |

| ___________________________________ [Nov 1,2011 7:55am - arilliusbm ""] There is no way this will suck. Bethesda is too good. |
| ______________________________________ [Nov 1,2011 8:06am - AndrewBastard ""] I knowwwww |

| _______________________________ [Nov 1,2011 10:13am - timma ""] So I've never played any of Elder Scrolls games, but I've always heard they've been good. Is it like a FF-type RPG or no? I generally don't get into RPG type games, but this one looks friggin ridiculous. |
| ______________________________ [Nov 1,2011 10:22am - ark ""] timma i'd say the only way it's similar to FF is in the world map exploration. the big difference is that elder scrolls games emphasize going off the beaten path, and complete character customization. the combat is in real-time so it's action based, and you level up based on how you play - if you sneak around and use a bow, you get better at stealth and archery. bennyhillifier bennyhillifier |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 1,2011 10:23am - arilliusbm ""] It's not like a jrpg by any means. Think of it as a fantasy movie and youre the main character and can do what ever you want. It has a linear main mission, but most of it is non linear. |
