Would you rather have waited?

The PC version was pretty much done and if there are bugs we can fix them ourselves.

For the most part the game works and it works really well.

I understand that for console games there is an expectation for little or no bugs on release day but would you have rather had the console versions delayed till next year while PC player get to enjoy it in november?

Not everyone is as much of a :tes: fan as I am so just wondering..

That would be a difficult question. Since it's mostly the PS3 that's having problems, were I a PS3 user, I imagine my stance to be this; I'd rather have a buggy Skyrim than no Skyrim at all. Especially while other people are enjoying it.

I've run into VERY few bugs, and nothing game-breaking (or game-changing).

I'm VERY satisfied, and think that Skyrim is the best TES yet, despite the constant [censored]ing on the forums.

The only problems I have run into is the game freezing but nothing BIG.
As for waiting for a unbugged game no, I would rather play through a few bugs then have to wait.
I love the fallout games but Ive waited since 08 for this game and I'm glad its finally here.

Have not run into any gamebreaking bugs. I am very satisfied. Though I do wish they (like I wish all game devs) made a list of the most wanted things to include, made by the community.

But hey, I can dream :disco:

For now, though :tes:

Nope.. I expect bugs.. in any game. And in open world games I really expect bugs. I've never bought a game that didn't have a patch so all games have bugs..... and if you buy games on opening day you have to expect to deal with those bugs.
There is no such thing as perfect.. There's pretty good and oops. As with any product out there you take your chances.. there's never a guarantee that any thing you get will be as expected. Most electronics seem to magically mess up a day after the warranty expires. I'd much rather have a faulty product up front that gets fixed than a product that goes screwy after a year.

I am a PS3 player and am thrilled. Besides, I'm on a Mac, so it's not like I could have gotten the PC one, anyway.

Game works just as well as I hoped on the 360. Sure there are some bugs but nothing major. The only things that have bothered me are the screwed up Dragons from the 1.2 patch.

The only bugs that bother me are bugs that make the game break quest lines and so far I haven't had any broken quests yet. *fingers crossed haha* Graphic glitches don't bother me.

Oh to answer the question I'm glad that it is finally out I was tired of waiting for the new elder scrolls.

I've only had 2 annoying bugs honestly.

But what was the point in this thread? To take a petty stab?

Nah, I think the OP was just trying to test the waters. The PC version required A LOT of fixing for some PC players. Less for others.

I would wait 6 months as a PC player for a game that had a lot of things done better. Make it more PC user friendly for one. It felt like a pure port with little done to make it more intuitive for the PC at first. I also wish they had included the Daedra from previous games for one. At least a few of them. They could of just reused resources from Oblivion and updated the textures and animations a bit.

Not really up to date on console games, are you? Tons of games, especially ones with online capabilities - have glitches and bugs on release. Anyone who does around with a day 1 glitch-free expectation - console or PC - just isn't in reality anymore. It may happen, sure. But you can't expect flawless. Especially with open-world games.

I should find the post I made after the original announcement came out in which I predicted that trying to make an 11/11/11 release date would be impossible. It turns out I was right. It was impossible to release a complete game by that date.

There is a difference between a few glitches and bugs, and an unplayable game tho...

For me, FO3 and FONV had a "few glitches and bugs", I never encountered anything game breaking in either game. The same goes for Morrowind and Oblivion.

However, some of the framerate issues in Skyrim (PS3 port at least) make the game totally unenjoyable.

Think of it this way, if your PC copy was hanging up every 10 minutes, forcing you to ctrl-alt-del and end the task, would you be having fun? Most likely not, and that's what it's like for many people on PS3. Play for 15 mins, quit game, restart, repeat.

Now, people can have these arguments of how the different memory system on the ps3 is to blame, or that the game was designed for 360 and just ported to pc and ps3. However, those arguments can't fly a kite in the wind, since XBOX users are now starting to experience the same slowdown (albeit at higher save file sizes) the game wasn't done right in the first place, and obviously since it was necessary to create a 4Gb replacement .exe and the LAA, Bethesda didn't give enough of a damn about providing proper functionality for users with 64-bit OS's. It seems to come down to "How fast can we push this on them and get our money. Damn the bugs, push forward!" It is Bethesda's responsibility to make sure this game runs properly on every system, and 2hr+ speed runs aren't going to accomplish that.

Devs need to start taking the necessary time to properly test these games. From Morrowind on in TES series, FO3 and FONV on Bethesda's side, to DA2 on EAware's side, it's just getting to be a joke, and really showing these companys true colors when it comes to caring about the customer. I hope more people return this game to their respective merchants, just to hit Bethesda in the only place they will really notice, their wallet. I don't want the company to go out of business or anything, I just think they need a wake up call to get their heads out of their proverbial asses, and start doing things right the first time, not relying on patches and modders to fix everything, especially when some people are sitting looking at a $65 piece of plastic with less usefulness then a 3.5" floppy disk you found in your basemant. Unless something changes, it will be a cold day in Oblivion before I give Bethesda any more of my hard-earned money. :obliviongate:
