Because the hours of fun / euro ratio will be incredibly high

I'll aim at getting it for the PS3 for convenience sake, if it proves to be terminally bugged on the format such as Oblivions slowdown issues (had that on PC so no problem). Then I will be cherry picking components for another gaming PC as the wife now has my Intel Quad Core since her AMD system blew it's PSU (in my face as I tested it btw)

At least I know my house has a working breaker as the house went dark at 10pm.

It's the exact opposite of this for me. I love what they're doing. Is anyone else doing what they do *this GREAT?" The open world game is what I want...more please. Last night I downloaded Arena and Daggerfall and watching the videos for them and it really showed me the progression from Arena to Skyrim. It was so wow.

Irishboy, I know you were kidding...and dripping with sarcasm.

:tes:

I will be getting Skyrim, because MW, OB and FO3 were all awesome. I have no reason to believe Skyrim will be any different. I think the changes that have been made are for the better.

Skyrim will be the best TES game yet. I will be buying the CE on day one.

I'll buy it on release even if my computer wont be good enough for it. thats what i did with oblivion.

What? Are you manning up online? :rofl:

Ive been playing ES games since Arena. Why would i stop now?

Oblivion one of my 2 favorite games -ever-, and I am getting a weird kind of excited for this game, which i have not got this excited for a game in 3-4 years. Its the kind of excited that a 12 year old girl gets when their mom buys them tickets to a justin bieber concert, which I still have yet to understand.

Someone wants to get this thread locked.

I'm sorry, are you saying someone is NOT going to buy a TES game?

...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am going to buy it on day one. I am still waiting for the CE to be announced:) Including a cloth map

I will drive (a bike :sadvaultboy: ) to a gamestop and buy it right after i break out of school.

EDIT: I'll get it for xbox becose in several (atleast 2) interviews toddd has said something like this:
''90% of our gamers are on console.''and''We want to bring mods to consoles.''

I'm definitely going to pre-order the game, even though my elf-sense is tingling that I'm going to be somewhat disappointed with the default game.

The real selling point for me has always been the mods that make these games so customizable.
I already have begun work on my Skyrim Journal (website).
As a modder, I'll be able to tweak the game, so that it is closer to my own game play expectations.

Skyrim is low on the list for me. I'm interested in the potential for modding, but the overall game (based on current info) is not very compelling to me.

I could be wrong, (and have been). When I first played the Diablo demo, I thought it was interesting, but not something I'd ever play again ~and did not until I found it for $10 in IRRC Walmart, many years back. (I was indeed upset that I'd not played it when it came out; its a great game.)

I do not plan to buy Skyrim immediately though. I have a lot of games bought, that I haven't managed to complete yet. FO3; FO:NV; Vampire:Bloodlines; Space Rangers2; XIII; Pool of Radiance2; Temple of Elemental Evil; all of the Might & Magics; NWN 1(plus expan.); NWN2; MOTB; Battle March; Arcanum; Vampire:Redemption; Morrowind; Daggerfall; Stalker; and soon, the Witcher 2.

I'll sit out 'til most of the patches ship for TESV.

That was my hope for FO3, and NV, (and it looks possible too, but time has been a problem for me ) .

I hope the same for Skyrim, because I have no doubts that the environments will be spectacular.

I will buy it 11-11-11, there is no way I am not going to get it. I have played all TES games. If the Bethesda devs literally said "Skyrim will be the worst game ever," I would still buy it.

I will wait and see how many bugs are in the game - gamesas lost my trust after the QA problems with FO3 -NV. I also have problems with the use of Steam for the DRM of a single player game.

I will probably buy it several times because of the first copy and the GotY copy

I will buy Skyrim since it will be the most amazing game ever, unless they screw up which they won't.

I'm going to buy Skyrim, simply because of Morrowind.

It could be the worst reviewed game of all time, an utter waste of money on it's own merits. And I'll still buy it, just as a "Thank you" gesture to Bethesda.

I decide whether I'll buy it or not when I've heard some user experiences, and seen the game in action. So far we have some hype (some of which doesn't "hype" me at all, but work for the contrary), marketing talk and a couple of screens - not a deciding factors for me.

I'll buy it
For all the flaws of previous games its still my favourite fantasy CRPG series
I'm actually quite hopeful
Judging by Fallout 3 they've taken the criticisms of Oblivion on board and will improve on it.
Also Skyrim (although it isn't where I'd have chosen to set TES V) is more interesting to me than Cyrodil

I don't want to get any thread to get locked. To be honest, I enjoy reading the pettiness of the younger crowd
I find it amusing.
Take the original post: here you have a young fellow thinking reasons for not buying a video game are "stupid", and I have to assume on the youthfulness of the poster, because we are talking about a choice of buying a video game here: drinking and driving is stupid, getting a second mortgage on your home and flying to Vegas is stupid... but buying or not buying a video game hmmmmm

Then you have the other poster who cowboys up online. Come on, don't that me you laugh, or at least chuckle?.

A quick edit to add, I also enjoy reading the "fanboyism". Again, I find it amusing.

On the contrary, I love threads like this one, and when they get locked, it is a downer.

i am buying skyrim because its a new elder scrolls game thats all the reasoning i need. not to mention from what i have seen this game will be the most phenominal elder scrolls game yet :toughninja:

I will buy it because it's The Elder Scrolls. :shrug:

I'm getting it because it's an elder scrolls.
