Here's more info on his GPU. Mobility cards are generally pretty meh... He might be able to play in low-medium settings (depending on res), but as with most laptops, there will be heating problems.

I would love mods on the console, but I don't see it happening anytime soon. I have a 4-5 year old laptop that has never been upgraded and I've never liked PC gaming except for RTS games. 360 for me.

AMD Turion X2 RM-75 2.2GHz
Mobility Radeon HD 4530 (550MHz)(667MHz) , 7.14.10.0636
4096MB RAM

^ Those specs can't even run it at medium with more than 20 FPS. So I'm having a hard time believing you are, unless you are playing in 1024x768 resolution.

But we're getting way off topic here.

Anyways...

Why is there an Other? option? Is that for people buying it on multiple platforms?

PC

Main reason is the Keyboard and Mouse control. I've been playing computer games since 1992 and adapted to that method of playing. While I find w,a,s,d more preferred and comfortable, I don't mind arrow keys either.

PC, easiest decision of my life.

» Tue Feb 02, 2010 4:27 am

Both PC and 360

What is "other" suppose to be?

» Mon Feb 01, 2010 10:32 pm

PS3

» Mon Feb 01, 2010 8:36 pm

It looks increasingly like it's gonna be for 360, but If I get a ps3 before, it will be for ps3.

» Tue Feb 02, 2010 3:00 am

Wow what an imaginative thread, it's only about the 20th of it's kind! But for the record, 360.

» Tue Feb 02, 2010 8:50 am

There is only PC.

I really hope that Bethesda code the PS3 version properly, but this is highly unlikely. Regardless of whether or not they do, I'll be getting the PS3 version.

PS3

I'm only going to play it on the N64. Sony FTL!!

» Tue Feb 02, 2010 7:31 am

PS3.

» Tue Feb 02, 2010 2:39 am

Damn, how unrepresentative these forums are if the PC audience of Bethesda games is only 10%? Do the console gamers not use the internets?

Anyway, it's PC, even if I had a console

XBOX! why would so many people get it for computer lol. unless you all have crazy expensive supercomputers to make it look better than Xbox.

You can build a computer for $500+ and it'll look better than on the Xbox buddy.

And we get the PC version for better graphics, and for mods. As well as mouse+keyboard control.

PC. Check my siggy for details.

Yep, I've got a 700$ lappy that runs Crysis on max (on native 1366*768 resolution fcourse). And I would need that computer even if I wasn't a gamer since I'm a programming student, so buying something specially for gaming is a waste of money, if to take in consideration that I would need a big and expensive telly I would use only for gaming, and that console games cost three times as much as PC games in my country

but last night in the other post about the fake Xbox720 the comps that could do better thatn Xbox were $1000 not $500. also why would you rather use a mouse or keyboard instead of a controller lol?
