After DTOID I can't bring myself to read these.

It's okay, just know that they got freaking awesome scores.

Holy crap... I'm grinning like a fool in the middle of my Psychology class. I've never seen a game I've been so excited for come out with initial scores like THIS

9.3 video review, spoilers.

Good.

I tend to ignore review scores and go with the score that I think the game should get, which is a 10/10. Still I'm pretty happy with the numbers so far.

» Tue May 08, 2012 8:27 am

We expected this though, did we not?

9.3 video review, spoilers.

They were bribed. Impassible to legit give below 9.5.

» Tue May 08, 2012 1:04 pm

Uh, yeah, I started reading and then I stopped. Too spoilerish for my taste.

» Tue May 08, 2012 9:36 am

I just keep reading the first paragraph, then the last, and the score. To avoid spoilers I mean

gamespot gives it a 9.0

So basically everyone loves the game.

The only problem are some glitches and AI pathfinding issues - both of which can be fixed with patches.

OH YEAH!!!!!
As good as the visuals are in the Xbox 360 version of Skyrim, there are a few drawbacks. Even with the game installed, load times are lengthy and frequent. Every time you fast travel, every time you enter a building or town with a door, you'll need to sit through a load. You'll also experience framerate drops depending on how much happens to be onscreen. The PC crowd should be happy to hear that, assuming you've got a powerful machine, The Elder Scrolls V looks far and away the best. The draw distance can be pushed way back, letting you see clear across enormous spaces, and you benefit from a higher visual quality throughout, as well as dramatically shortened load times, to the point where they barely exist at all.

That is great news, load times annoy the hell out of me, especially in open world games.
