Poll: Are you getting skyrim?

[Don't taze me bro]

Where is the poll?

And the answer is: No. I won't be buying Skyrim. I won't be buying it, because while I have played Daggerfall, Morrowind and Oblivion, I end up being overwhelmed at the scope of the game and giving up. I need a little bit of linearity in my games, and these games are far, far to open.

the thing about threads like this is you're more likely to get people that are inclined to get it already, and anyone else that comes in is probably on the other side, they wouldn't get it anyway and are going to tell you all the whiny reasons
OT: no, I don't care much for RPGs, unless they're rocket-propelled grenades

...Wow i went on a rant...so...Are you getting skyrim?

One single paragraph hardly qualifies as a rant on these forums. Anywho, I'll get Skyrim, but not immediately--I want to wait until there is absolute verification of modding capability before I consider buying it. Personally, I enjoyed Oblivion, but only after I got mods for it. The combat was somewhat functional, if quite bland...okay, I didn't really like the combat, but the feeling of a large open world was definitely there...a large open world consisting of copy-pasted forests tha--okay, okay, I'm heading on the same road you did now with your opening post.

Anywho, Skyrim will be 'safe'. It's not going to carry the combined impact of Neverwinter Nights, Dragon Age and Fable all combined into one god-like fantasy game, but it will be quite functional. It will have design principles that mainly appeal to console gamers, but which will be adjusted for PC gamers in an at least functional fashion. For the unique adventure experience that PC gamers crave, it'll likely take modifications.

So I'm going to wait. Not necessarily for a price drop--if I see the rise of the modding community, I'll give it a go. I'd love to join the modding community from the start and help build the game, but I've been so disappointed with recent game releases that I'm not willing to pay full price for a game I only hope will actually be enjoyable. I'd rather verify the entertainment factor before committing $50--or as lately has been the case, $60 dollars for a video game.

I will buy it when it goes down in price. As much as I love TES, I just haven't got much money.

[AwesomeNinjaPowers]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! <3

I would give up sex, alcohol and all food except dry bread for a year if I had to in order to get Skyrim.

I'm sure it won't be perfect. I'm sure it will have niggles. But I'm totally confident it's gonna be good. The only thing that could really be a let-down for me is if they haven't got rid of the stupid enemies-level-up-with-you nonsense.

 

[Wayneguard]

You have no idea how much I will get Skyrim.

He has no idea...

*yes I will get skyrim day 1*

 

[CuteRocketeer]

Already ordered and paid for!

 

[Captain Pirate]

Probably for Christmas due to lack of money, but yes, I WANT THAT SHIT.
This is coming from one of 6 people worldwide who hated Oblivion.

Skyrim + Battlefield 3 + Saints Row 3 + Gears 3 = Bankrupt, but happy.

 

[thelastmccabe]

I'll probably wait until I can get GOTY for less than $30 and have a nice computer to play it on so I can mod it up and make it all pretty. So probably in a few years.

 

[ciancon]

Yes, but not immediately, maybe for Christmas.

I personally am not reserving skyrim. I bought oblivion because of all the hype almost five years and i regret it to this day. i found the combat and all around gameplay dull and unenjoyable which for me is the key part of a game. It had left with bad feelings about rpgs until the release of Fallout 3 restored my faith in rpgs. I personally hope skyrim ends up the most amazing game ever made and is wildly successful. I just do not feel like making a decision just yet on purchasing it.

...Wow i went on a rant...so...Are you getting skyrim?

... Oh look, three different threads asking THE SAME QUESTION.

Use. The. Fucking. Search. Bar.

I have to agree on the repeated threads but, the first one is about consoles, the second is about the same thing but the third is also about consoles so...
Chill. The. Fuck. Out.

OT HELL YEAH!It will be so fucking epic! I already preordered Alduin and his mightyfullness.

Spoiler: The Box

I respect you decision, whatever personally I'm going to love this game, but I think that your logic is flawed. You say that there aren't enough changes but if they changed the game any more with this sequel, in good or bad ways, well... Well it wouldn't be an Elder Scrolls game that's for sure, it'd be along the lines of Far Cry 2 being considered a legitimate story driven sequel to the first Far Cry. You can do whatever you want, just don't base your actions on silly notions.

Sorry, I suppose I should have been more specific. I didn't mean change it to where it wasn't a Elder scolls game. I mean adding things to it to make it not the exact same game as oblivion. I wanted like more races, or like a sepreate co-op things, something that isn't the same as the last game. I really dont' care about graphics or different facail features, or whatever "slight" changes that are made. I want something that is a big enough change to make it worth the money.

Like the real only change in Dead Rising 2 was the combonation weapons, and while it was cool, I haderly used most of them and it didn't really change the game any. So I'm really glad I didn't pay 60 bucks for it. That's kinda what I meant.
