The February Game Informer Cover Thread II : V - Skyrim

» Sat Apr 10, 2010 4:09 am

Screenshots. Speculation is more fun with screenies (there really isn't any speculation with straight up info at all). Plus, since I want to blind the game, I don't really care too much about learning info. And, also, screenshots are much more rewarding and confirming. You can have all the information you want. If you don't have anything to show for it, then it really doesn't matter.

Depends what the info is.

I want technical info and screen to back that up. The barest detail on plot, if any, would be more than sufficient.

Screens can be misleading like may games they somethings have screens of sweet ass things on it but than decide its not what they wanted or it didnt work.
I voted for equal stuff of both.
I want info AND screens and in 14 pages they should be able to do this...
Btw when do the mags normally SHIP to use subscribers again? I mean i only have school on Mondays so its great lol

Magazines ship to subscribers January 6th, the same day as the cover reveal on the GI website.

So we should be expecting info on the 7th Jan then?

» Sat Apr 10, 2010 6:50 am

So the cover reveal is on the 6th Jan, with subscribers getting it the following day. Am I correct?

The magazine ships to subscribers the 6th, so it may take like 3-5 days for the magazine to arrive in the mail.

I checked the game informer website. It said expect cover information on the 6th. (Online)

It depends on how close you are to the warehouse.

If you live in Minnesota, you could get the magazine the very next day.

@GI_AndyMc any chance of an Elder Scrolls V screen shot before the game informer issue? Pretty please? Ya know, like a new years gift?

@ChiliManiac we have good stuff coming just not yet. You will be pleased once it releases.

To cut the confusion, I think you should add this to the OP:

There will be a cover story in a UK mag as well as in a number of other countries. Fear not.

when he said "we have good stuff coming" is he referring to the gi mag or stuff after that?

He is talking about the Elder Scrolls article in the February Game Informer issue.

Oh, I thought we subscribers get it a couple of days before the 6th, I didn't know it ships out on the 6th.

Oh well. Still can't wait.

The 6th is when they reveal the cover of the magazine. It ships then too.

Well, the wait is officially killing me

And when the info starts to spread do we need to post the info here? or in a new topic?

By that time there will be thread 3, if not 4. Thats the main reason I made the thread. There would have been 100 topics coming up about the GI, I made this early so we could speculate and discuss and so that everyone would be familiar with it before the release of the mag.

I'm probably gonna take a peak at Neogaf. Will probably be posted asap there.

6 days is nothing, I'm glad its so soon

There's no GI in Croatia/Bosnia... nor is there any other mag that will have skyrim info/screens. Is there any way to buy GI online? Will anyone scan the pages if it there's no way to buy it online?

I hope there will be a way to buy it.. or scans (but I would rather pay for the mag).

I wouldn't worry too much about it, all the info will likely be posted here. Not the magazine, however. But if you want it for the cover and screens you might be able to find them elsewhere.

I'll be honest, when i first heard about Skyrim, that video was the 1st thing popped in my mind. But I feel bad for the video creator because before all the Skyrim hoopla, the usual comments on that video were normal, friendly ones like "cool vid" or "I hope tes V is skyrim" and other things. Now ever since the only comments are "ZOMG THIS AINT SKYRIM HAXOR!!!!!" and other flaming discussions and trolls started to emerge. Poor guy :sadvaultboy:

But on topic, does anyone know where to buy GI other than GameShi---I mean GameStop :wink_smile: I dont want to subscribe to GI just for Skyrim, but like all you i want all the juiciness :liplick: So has anyone seen it at a Target or Bestbuy? Even if I dont get to the mag, I can still get the same exact info and screenies at the GI website, here, or even on TES webite/Facebook? Wow I am loaded with questions right now, i better stop! :facepalm:

You can't hate gamestop that much! Go to gamestop. They will have it. If there are none in your area then look for an EB Games. Other places MAY have it but I strongly doubt. Maybe a newsstand or Shopper's Drugmart or something.
