Do you preordered the game?! : V - Skyrim

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 9:46 am

I will not pre-order and might even not buy when:
- it's Fallout in Skyrim,
- there's no CS
- the DRM is intrusive and requires authentication servers to be ran,
- it has the same flaws as Oblivion, generic/bland story line, extensive leveled scaling issues, underwhelming cities and setting, consolified UI, etc.

Since there's still a year minus a month to go before release, I'm not in a hurry te pre-order.

Your first worry doesn't even make sense

Your second is nonsense because the exclusion of the CS would hurt their sales too much (Bethesda knows that the modding community is what kept Oblivion and morrowind alive so long).

Bethseda is too smart to use DRM

And what the hell makes you think that Bethesda would see how popular the mods that fixed those issues were and STILL make the same mistakes as in Oblivion?

I'm waiting for the special edition and I'm waiting for Bethesda to tell us what the system requirements will be so I know if my computer will be able to run Skyrim and if not what graphics card I'll have to go buy.

There is no point to argue here, he just hopes that none of the above will happen

I don't want to preorder as I want to see were the cheapest place to buy it close to release,besides I don't think it will have that big of a demaned, right??well not where I live.

No. I never do.

No I do (have) not, and wont do. Don't really see the point; i'll just grab it on the release day.

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 7:05 am

No, but I plan to this week, hell i could preorder 3 of them and pay them off as well $65 each) but I wont since i need to buy a late xmas gift n preorder another game for myself that comes out in March than have some cash to upgrade to the BEST CE of Skyrim when it is announced,

EDIT: Am I the only one preordering this than?O__O I normally also wait but just scared I will be stupid and use the money on another game or something since i want to get this game day one and i don't know how it is going to look when it arrives

:verymad: no im poor

Nope, waiting for the collectors edition. Then I will definitely preorder it.

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 7:12 am

no, i will not preorder it, until their is more skyrim news, then i will preorder it :thumbsup:

not really

Waiting on amazon.com to list and collector edition information.

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 12:39 am

Is there ANYTHING bad that could happen with preordering now?I normally don't care for preorder extras so that doesn't concern me but if worse comes to worse would they be able to somehow lose my money on the preorder or something?
I mean I just don't understand why ppl are not preordering now, like besides the preorder extras is that the ONLY reason? Anyplace you preorder at SHOULD allow you to upgrade to the CE version of the game when they get info that they can after all.

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 12:34 am

I will, but not yet.

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 9:42 am

I haven't yet. I'm going to wait a bit. I'd like to see some system requirements at some point.

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 12:26 am

Have grammar you?

And I'm going to wait until I see more Gameplay footage and what the engine is capable of before I make a decision.

what?

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 8:00 am

No. I'm sure Steam will have enough copies when it's released. Gamestop can kiss my axe.

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 11:16 am

Heck no! I at least want to see what Skyrim is about, if my comp can handle it and what the collector's edition will contain.

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 2:24 am

I've never found a need to preorder. it's just a gimmick to predict sales.

I wait in line with everyone and just buy a regular copy, they have extra copies there 95% of the time.

(i suppose it would be different if I lived in a bigger city)

Thats true but than again some times I have had the issue where if I didn't preorder they wouldn't have any copies in stock for me on release date.
This has happend to me a few times back like I would go into the store, ask if they had a certain game that just came out that I didn't preorder and they said no because all of the copies they had were preorder ONLY, so ever since than I have preorderd.

It's possible to pre-order, now? Let me know when the Collector's Edition becomes available for pre-ordering.

Yes has been for a few days now? maybe a week at gamestop atleast

Someone will let us know if not Beth themselves

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 1:45 am

what?

I'm obviously making fun of the 'Do you preordered the game'.

» Sun Jan 10, 2010 9:45 am

Nope. I'm waiting to hear about the collectors edition and preorder bonuses. Once they announce that stuff, I will definitely be preordering...
