What platform are you getting Skyrim on?

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 12:32 pm

PC for the better graphics and mods, and I prefer keyboard + mouse as controller.

I'm getting the collector's edition for PS3 because I love the controller, and will be getting the PC version some time later for the better graphics. I don't really care for mods, I want to play the game as designed by the developers.

I bought Oblivion on xbox360, PS3, and PC, but won't be getting the 360 version this time since I don't play on that platform anymore, Microsoft screwed me over for the last time...

Oblivion ran on a PC. Oblivion ran on a XBox 360.

Skyrim will run on a XBox 360. Was your PC able to handle Oblivion? You'll probably handle Skyrim as well since the XBox 360 didn't change at all since those times.

PC superior version no way I'd play any other. No mods = no Skyrim.


PC for sure, I just got an ATI 6850 for games like this, Deus Ex 3, Dragon Age 2, Crysis 2, Witcher 2, Diablo 3 etc. When the next gen consoles launch I'll go ahead and get the GOTY editions of these and play them at 'true' 1080p resolution and enjoy them again on my plasma. I love the xbox but my PC gaming has made me notice how terrible the resolution looks when upscaled to 1080 from 720, if I wasn't a PC gamer I would have never have noticed it, so that's why I'll wait for the next gen so I can enjoy the cinematic experience of these amazing games as well.

PC, not just for the mods and graphics, but also because I like to play games in anaglyph 3d (which doesn't require any expensive 3d hardware, just a £1 pair of anaglyph glasses and free 3d driver). I don't have any consoles anyway!

I was going to vote, but not the way it's worded. It's to one sided.. I suggest change it before the thread gets locked. I wanted to vote 360, for personal reasons. I do not want to vote 360 because it gets DLC before PS3 or PC. This will start a :flamethrower: war.But I will be buying for the 360.


I agree that the wording of the poll is biased. A simple "Xbox 360, PS3, PC" would have done, with people explaining their own reasoning for a particular choice in their posts.

I'll be getting it on Xbox 360 first. Then, with the first good sale I see, I'll pick up the PC version for mod playing and making.

I will get Skyrim to Xbox 360. Maybe I will get it to PC as well if I buy someday new PC. Now my laptop can't run even oblivion on highest settings.

Probably PC, even though I bought Oblivion and Fallout 3 for xbox 360. I built a system with a Radeon HD6850 to play pc games and a new monitor, but I also have a surround sound system for the tv. Whether to be immersed with the graphics vs sound is the debate for me.

Do both!
Alternatively, I've always found headphones more immersive, though speakers are certainly more accessible.

I'm getting it on PC for sure for the better graphics on mods. If you have a strong enough PC get it on PC when it comes out of course.


I'm not getting it on xbox just because it might get things before other platforms. You should just have 'xbox'

I'm getting it on xbox because its by far my favourite platform to play on. I love it.

In the end more people will play Skyrim on the Xbox, the reason PC is getting more votes because there are much more PC players that will be on these forums compared to xbox players. I have tons of xbox addicts for friends and they love TES. But very rarely do they venture on the computer.

Xbox 360, but not because of exclusive dlc. I don't have a PS3, and I haven't really had a decent gaming PC since the days of Daggerfall.

I am a very casual gamer, except when it comes to Elder Scrolls.

PC, I don't own a Xbox360 or Ps3, but I would get it to PC anyway (mods and graphics).

This forum is mostly PC players. All polls reflect that. It's always been as such here.

PC for me. :)

I thought there would be a more balanced mix of platform users on these forums. why would there be more PC players here?

PC. Games feel so much more immersive on PC, for me at least.

At least in general, PC gamers are often more comfortable with a computer, and a forum has a hard time with people uncomfortable with computers.

At least, that's the only explanation I can figure.

Xbox 360. Never been a fan of the PC for games, probably because of the fragility of computers nowadays.

I am getting it on the 360 but not for the reason stated so I didn't vote. I am thinking about getting it the PC later on depends on how much money I have(I need to build a decent PC first).

Everyone is entitled to play the game on whatever they want but... I can't help but think that if you played it on anything but a PC you'd be doing it a disservice


Really? Then you should see my PC, playing it on that would be a disservice to the beautiful world Bethesda created.

I think it will be the same for most people out there. Few have a PC that can run this game better then the 360/PS3. On gaming boards PC gamers seem to forget that, saying that the PC version is the better looking version while, considering most PCs, the console version actually looks better (for most).

I will be getting it on the 360. Specs might be low in comparison to a PC but devs are able to optimize the game for these (low) specs resulting in a product that looks very good. Certainly better then what my PC could have produced. And I will get the game, I wont miss out on it because you think my way of playing it is a disservice.

What kind of poll is this? The only option for Xbox has "because it might get DLC first", which is NOT the reason I'm getting it for Xbox.
