I also think that most fans won't mind spending some pocket change to get a physical copy of the goodness that this cover promises to be.

Yes I'm a subscriber, and i can't wait to get my hands on it.

I actually will be trying to avoid anything and everything concerning Skyrim once they release information.

I might drop in to give opinions here or there on the forums, but beyond seeing a few screenshots, I would rather know nothing about the game. I loved the feeling I got playing MW when I knew absolutely nothing about the game prior to playing it. Granted, I already know plenty about TES now so it will never be that fresh again, but I want to get as close to that feeling as I can.

The first time I walk into Balmora... whoa!
viewing the cantons of Vivec? Climbing Red Mountain? Becoming a werewolf?

All of these things were just incredible when experienced in game for the first time, and I want to feel that way again. I knew too much about OB before playing it (granted it wasn't as good as MW anyway) and I feel that it somewhat detracted from the wonder and amazement of it all. I had already seen the emperor walk through my cell before I played the game. I already knew what white gold tower looked like. I already knew what a Dremora Lord / Daedric armor looked like. It wasn't as special when I actually got to see it all first hand.

So no, I will not be buying the GI magazine.....



...actually, maybe I'll buy it, but not read it until I've finished the game (that's like 10 months of leaving a magazine on a shelf, though, lol.)

Hell ya, it will be some of the first info on Skyrim I'd be crazy not to buy it.

BTW: Do we get to see a sneak peak of the cover art before the magazine is shipped out.

I believe they're $6 if you go to GameStop.

Yes, but actually, when I look at Walmart or Walgreens, etc., in the magazine sections, I can never seem to find gameinformer... can anyone tell me where I need to go? Is Gamestop a better guess?

No because I get a year supply of GI so no need to go BUY a specific mag

Yes. Gamestop sells GI.

I already have, considering I'm a subscriber.

My subscription ran out last month but I'm gonna renew it at gamestop when they get the one with Skyrim in it.

Same here. I'll be buying it only for TES V SKYRIM. Gotta keep the room clutter to a minimum. Once i used to have stacks and stacks of PC GAMER and COMPUTER GAMING WORLD magazines in my old small room back in the 1990s. Plenty of fantastic info but the clutter just got to be too much. Thank goodness nowadays all that and a whole lot more can fit snuggly in one cd.

if it has a BIG bad ass poster of Skyrim, i will .. if not, i think some scans will do, that or reading it at a store

Somebody knows if the magazine wiil realease in latin America ? :cryvaultboy:

Greetings since Mexico

I will buy the game informer because i want to know more about the game to which i may purchase in the future. I like to know whether or not my 64.98 is going to a game i will truly appreciate

If it's on the shelves when I go into town on Jan. 15th to see Cheech and Chong I will buy it. Otherwise I will have to skip it. No extra trips to town are allowed.

In an ideal world, I'm above buying the magazine. Within a couple of months of release there is so much more information available for free. On the other hand, I might not be able to stop myself.

eh... more than likely not. I don't know anyplace near that would sell GI magazines, nearest place being an hour drive (same place i have to go to buy any video games <_< ) i definitely would though if i saw it for sale while i'm just out though

Does anyone know if the Game Informer published in Australia includes the same articles as the US magazine? After looking at the websites, they seem to be publishing separate issues, but I thought I'd check anyway. That will be too bad if that is the case, it would have been the first video game magazine I would really want to buy.

Thanks for any input!

No because I get my G.I. Magazines for free just as long as I keep my membership card from Game Stop up .

It will hit shelves in January, but not as soon as subscribers get them. They'll be displayed in stores closer to the middle of the month.



Yes, when Game Informer reveals the cover on January 6th on their website.

Unfortunately, my last GI issue was the Dragon Age II cover. It's my first year in college and changing the address on a magazine subscription is not worth the hassle.

I will probably read the scans of the stories somewhere on the web, then go buy the magazine when it gets put on the shelf in stores.

Hassle? All you need to do is call them up and change your address. They'll take 1-2 months to do so, and you wont get any magazines, but you aren't getting any right now anyway. And if you ask them, they'll add those 1-2 months you missed back onto your subscription, effectively extending it. Take it from me, I've changed addresses with them twice.

Thanks!


Yeah, but I wouldn't really care about the other issues much. Maybe if they have a Mass Effect 3 issue. Still trying to decide.



Or I could want the magazine to have because I want it. I already realize I'm going to get the information one way or another.

Hmm...it would give me a reason to actually go to my mailbox.
