New Skyrim Patch Will Fix "Long-Term Play" Problems

This is exactly why I didn't buy the game at launch. I have no faith in bethesda (the company or the city) to create something that functions when first released. Which sucks cuz i like their games. Oh well, I'll buy it in March.
This is great. I thought it was just my PS3. It is getting a little older and I have played hard on it and was afraid it was my 'station dying. Glad I am not the only one and really glad Bethesda is on top of it.
I try not to bash consoles but if you're trying to play Skyrim on 7 year old hardware, you get what's coming to you.
Yes, if you play a game designed for a console on a console, you should expect it to not work. What?Poisoned Al said:
Wierd i have the ps3 one and with 40 hours i've barely had any problems at all. It's crashed 3 times due to exessive play and thats it really.
Guess i got lucky!?

Ha, ha, ha. They focus on selling the game to console gamers, yet we PC Gamers get the better deal in both performance and additional content thanks to modding.
Well, aside from sensitivity, custom keybinding, memory, texture, and miscellaneous issues, but come on, it's Bethesda! They make great game concepts, but fall just a few inches short of reaching the grand conclusion to their master plan--the games are fun and awesome and on a large scale, but there's always these little nitches where you feel like something should be there, but it's just a little hole...
...and then mods come along and fill the hole with unofficial patches, bug fixes, graphical enhancements, new weapons, armor, spells, creatures, quests, lands, homes, characters, technical tweaks, improved gameplay mechanics, better menus, increased customization, etcetera etcetera.

I'm using my wired xbox controller to play the PC version. If I wanted to I could pick up my laptop and lay in bed playingMoosejaw said:
17in screen close up? More than enough for me.
No it isn't. Not really. It was crowbarred into the consoles ageing husks with blood and guts ozzing out of it's split sides. It's DirectX 11 eye candy with a stupid pad interface on top.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
Again, I will stress that consoles use SEVEN YEAR OLD TECH! When in gaming history has a console been around THAT long? Games have gotten tired of waiting and have moved on. How can anyone defend something that old and shit is beyond me? Can't afford a good PC? How is that my problem? Stop defending console makers and kick them up the arse instead.
Actually the game was designed for the 360, just like oblivion was. The 360 makes up the majority of its sales, with pc ranking last at only 14%. They choose the market which would sell the most and designed the game for it. If you haven't been able to tell from playing on pc that it's a port, you're pretty blind. The pc port of this, which is what it is, a port, is horribly optimized and clearly not designed for it.Poisoned Al said:
Well for a game designed for a 360 it looks and runs like shit. Have fun playing the shite version designed JUST for YOU.Piecewise said:
Haha, it seems i spoke too soon...i just went back to play FO:NV for the 3rd time and got the dreaded load game error...Primus1985 said:
Before then, no glitches at all!
Wow, you seem pretty bitter about this. Speaking as a 360 player, I've clocked up about 50 hours, and have had one major bug hit me - the game became intensely choppy and laggy, meaning I moved in small spurts, but stopped after about 30 seconds when I discovered a new location. I don't include crashes (which have happened twice) because I used to play games on PC as a kid so I'm relieved when crashes are only occasional. You know what all of this makes me feel?Poisoned Al said:
Impressed.
Consider the size of Skyrim. Not just geographical size, but the amount of characters, quests, items, creatures, dungeons, options, the sheer overall hugeness of it. The fact that in something that enormous relatively few bugs have turned up is genuinely impressive. I don't get why so many people cry and cry about "modern games" and the lack of comprehensive bugtesting when the epic amount of things to test means that there will always, always be things that slip through the net. The game looks great, it plays great, and if I get the occasional crash then I accept that as part of the price I pay for such excellent entertainment.
Oh, and I barely had a problem with the 360 New Vegas either, for what it's worth. Another game that was so much fun I could overlook flaws when they did occur.
