Should I get Skyrim for PC or Xbox? : V

» Sat Sep 18, 2010 12:17 am

Ok I know what you're gonna say. "PC". And I agree but here is the dilemma: Skyrim will come out in November. I'll be able to spend $500 on a 360 and TV. Or! I can wait until next May when I'll be able to build a proper computer (around $1000).
So what do you think I should do? Skyrim as soon as it comes out on 360 or on PC but way off in May?
If it matters I'm not really that much of a serious gamer and I have University this year.

if you have university this year, get it for pc when you can, and focus on your work.

I'd wait until May.

In fact, for myself I'll be in Mexico for two years, and I won't play Skyrim until 2013.

Buy a PS3 instead.

just go with the 360 if its on pc, you will be more easily distracted by it when ur in university. Like when your working on your pc for university

No, I'll be away for other reasons.

I'd say you would be more satisfied over-all if you waited until May and got a sweet PC. Just stay away from them spoilers!

Two years? What are the chances I'd be able to correctly guess your age?

Anyways, to the OP, I suppose it depends on how badly you want to play the game. I would say, though, that if you wait until May, it'd at least give modders a chance to get started, so you could jump into those right when you get the game (or after the first play-through, anyways). Not to mention a patch or two to fix any possible bugs or stability issues.

i just double checked online.......mexicans have xboxes too. so good news you can still play down there.

I'd wait to build the PC. Skyrim'll still be there, and like Mitheledh mentioned, it'd give Bethesda some time to release a patch and for modders to get cranking.

I won't be in Mexico to play games. It's for personal reasons.

Wait until May and get a PC.

If you make proper usage of mods, they will give you back those months of gameplay you missed by waiting.

*sigh*
You guys are right. I can wait. But man....a year...

Nah, only six months.

For every improvement a sacrifice is made this counts for everything. PC = better aim and reflex (great for archers and many other classes) XBOX 360 = Better mobility (Great for thieves and many other classes) Bethesda is trying to get mods to work on Both but PC is guaranteed. XBOX is guaranteed not to crash (unless mods get in).

Sorry I meant May 2012

PS3 all the way.

Yea, that's 6 months after Skyrim is released.

» Fri Sep 17, 2010 2:14 pm

Yeah, but the time before release doesn't count.

Yes you're right

LOL sounds like super secret agent stuff

...when you take a break from fighting crime, you might just find yourself tempted when passing by the local JuegoStop

If you want it that bad, just get it for Xbox.
