Who else is putting off buying Skyrim?

[New Frontiersman]

I'm probably not going to get it until I can get a computer that actually plays it. So it'll be a couple years for me probably.

 

[userwhoquitthesite]

Its been pre-ordered. I put off life to play Skyrim, for Skyrim is all that is glory!

I propose we form a cult

 

[Drops a Sweet Katana]

I'm putting it off until I get a PC which has more umph behind it than a soggy napkin. I'll be damned if I play it on the 360. I already made that mistake with Oblivion.

 

[Xorph]

Well, to get it on the PC (which, quite frankly, is what I'm getting it on) I need a new video card. I have the cash for an ATI 6770, but I'm spending $150 on Youmacon next week so I might not have enough for Skyrim until a few weeks after launch.

 

[aretelio]

I've decided to just go ahead and get the Collector's Edition. You can't take money with you anyway.

Yeah, but the statue is so crap!

Yeah, you've got a point, but I'm not the type of person to display shit like that on my mantle. I look at it for all of about 35 seconds, put it back in the box and forget about it.

Which makes me wonder why I spend money on this stuff...

...but hey...

ZOMBIE CHICKENS!

 

[imnot]

I was planning on it for GOTY edition.
Then I saw the dragon and it got put in the Christmas pile.
Then I saw the spell that reanimates dead chickens.
ZOMBIE
FUCKING
CHICKENS
So yeah pre orderd :3

Besides I have never ever had one of thsoe game breaking bugs everyone talks about and i have a non patched edition of Fallout 3 on the 360.

I like you. You understand what's important in life.

I like you too random internet person!

 

[Carl The Manicorn]

I still have to play Arkham City and Oblivion. By that time Saints Row 3 is going to be out so I gotta play that. Also school is taking up a lot of time. So, I'll just wait and order the GOTY edition later on.

 

[spartan231490]

See, I'm just not going to play it during the week, except maybe release week. But I am also having a tough ass semester, I might not play much until christmas break, but I will buy it in case I get the opportunity.

Agreed. We need ceremonial launch day robes!

 

[Beesejar]

I made my choice, I flipped a coin to see whether or not I'll pre-order Skyrim or Assassins Creed Revelations So it's Ezio's Final chapter for me 19 day's

 

[Westaway]

I'll get it for Christmas, so I don't have to pay for it and I'll have some time to play it before school starts again. I'm pretty hyped, but not that hyped.

 

[RYjet911]

I won't be buying Skyrim, purely because Dark Souls has delivered on everything that got me excited about it.

I mean, huge open world? Check.
Intricate fighting, weapon, upgrade and inventory systems? Check.
Massive level of detail? Check.
A good challenge to complete? Check about a thousand times.
Dragons? While not as dynamic as Skyrim's, check.
Story and world lore all woven beautifully into gameplay? Check, but Skyrim won't have that anyway, since I'm sure it'll be the hundred different books you can pick up and read... I'm playing a game, I don't want to read books! Plus I can't wait to talk to people by moving my head two inches away from there face and seeing them stare blankly at me while they talk. Then again, this might be rather dated thoughts on my part xD

Basically, Dark Souls has chewed Skyrim up and spat it out for me.

 

[Soods]

I highly doubt my Laptop can run Skyrim, so I may have to wait a long time to get to play it. But it's not a big deal, since I'm not that hyped up for it and I have more important (game related) things in mind.

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

I'm putting it on my Christmas list. It's not that exciting to me, but knowing myself, I'm still going to get it, try it, and probably ether keep it or trade it in for Twisted Metal or The Darkness II

We can make them from curtains and highschool graduation gowns!

 

[Bobbity]

Exams start on the twentieth, nine days after Skyrim comes out. If I want to be able to study at all, I'm going to have to wait until the 1st of December. It's hard to be positive about a three week wait, but at least the bugs will be fixed...

 

[v3n0mat3]

Getting it for free, so...

 

[Alphavillain]

Well, I'd never pre-buy something on Steam or wheverer, because I don't like the idea of comitting to buy something that is unproven by any reviews. It' objectionable.

But whether I buy Skyrim depends in the end on how much time I'm prepared to lose from my life. Which will be "lots", I guess.

 

[MrCalypso]

It's almost inevitable that people are going to rush out and buy Skyrim on the day of release, and over the following week there will be much bitching and complaining about bugs followed by a few weeks of consistent whining and while gamers impatiently wait for that first patch. There will also be people complaining about the vanilla how 'this part is too easy' or 'this thing is game breaking', which for us PC users the modding community will quickly jump on to correct.

So yeah I'm not going to rush out to buy it right away, gonna wait for some patches and some mods to come out first. Don't know if I want to wait for the standard Game of the Year edition though.

Yea Oblivion was bad and I have a feeling that with the scope of it Skyrim may have a few more. I'd rather wait for everything to get sorted out. And maybe save a little money.
