What would make you NOT buy Skyrim? : V - Skyrim

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 8:12 am

If the combat system is not more robust than TES IV. Oblivion had the bare minimum for combat and do not give me the excuse of it being an RPG, because its been done by other developers.

Nothing really, I'm going to buy it even if they overhaul a lot of things.

I can't think of anything. Even without the construction set I'd still buy the game and enjoy it.

The only way I won't buy it is if my Xbox gets the red rings, or I guess it would be called the red light on the 360s.

If it was an MMO, or otherwise had overemphasis on some multiplayer aspect.

If it was designed to cater to the lowest common denominator, who are too lazy to actually play a game.

I think it's funny how PC gamers won't support the game if there is no construction set. Don't get me wrong, I see it's a very fun tool, but you guys would cry a river without it.

That's because Oblivion was pretty much an empty shell without the construction set.

Yes, yes we would.

It's that amazing.

I'll be the shallow one here and say that if Skyrim had graphics anything similar to Fallout, I would not buy the game.

If the release date is set only to compet against Uncharted 3 (they both will be release on the same date...).
If it lacks in content.
If it gets a bad score on M.net.
If it costs 60$ (59.99$ is 60$...). 55$ would be a great price.

Lack of werewolves and vampires.

If Bethesda forced me to be a specific race, class, and gender, with a prechosen name and backstory. Like Dragon Age 2 :stare:

Even then, though, I'd probably still buy it. I'd just be really PO'd about it.

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 4:21 am

Lack of 1st person view.

this and if the world would come to an end.

This is a depressing thread. I don't want to think about not buying a game that I have been wondering about since I finished the Shivering Isles, and thought, "what innovation is next?" for TES. :sad:

If they keep dumbing it down i'd be pissed.

I want more depth and complexity not less.

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 9:25 am

If it gets a bad score on M.net.

If I rated it bad, would you buy it?

What would cause me to NOT buy TES V - Skyrim?

I can't really think anything other than unnecessarily obtrusive DRM(Ubisoft!) or the lack of mod support. Steam would rather be an annoyance than a dealbreaker.

I really do hope that it is not a Steam exclusive. For those of us who want the retail disk version, just have a disc check and maybe keycode as DRM. Steam, online activation, limited activations, etc. are all deal breakers for me, especially for a single-player game.

Overly anol DRM. Like the kind that requires you to have an online connection to play and monitors the number of installs. Not something Bethesda is known for but stranger things have happened.

As far as actual game features... well there's a lot of things that would make me upset but nothing that would prevent me from buying the game. I guess if they somehow managed to put the whole game on a rail but then it wouldn't be TES anymore.

But the point of the thread is to prevent that from happening

David Hasselhoff as a voice actor.

If it was an MMO I would not get it, if there was no mods maybe. Otherwise I can't think of what they could do(reasonably) that wold make me not want the game.

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 10:52 am

Making Steam mandatory and not having Skull Crusher in the game. The last reason isn't actually true. But I refuse to use Steam, it killed to many games for me. I was addicted to The Totalwar games, than they moved to Steam and now I won't even touch 'em.

» Tue Aug 25, 2009 11:17 pm

I'd really only not buy it if it was an MMO or had an irritating DRM. -shrug- I'm just easy to please, I guess. :B

» Wed Aug 26, 2009 2:45 am

let me get this straight. i'd still play skyrim even if it includes most hated features. it would lead me illegal ways though... :ph34r:

but it's not likely happen since i've always bought elder scrolls games and i've always liked them. and i'm almost 100% sure that bethesda will do amazing job with skyrim.

If it is not released for ~~PS3~~/360

This

And if it svcks. It's going to be awful hard to do that because Fallout 3 was pretty terrible but got great reviews :shrug:
