Poll: Are you getting skyrim?

[jackpackage200]

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?

 

[CthulhuMessiah]

You have no idea how much I will get Skyrim.

 

[Rawne1980]

Indeed I am. I pre ordered the first opportunity I had.

Loved Daggerfall, loved Morrowind, loved Oblivion and I do believe Skyrim will be just as good.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Hmmm, probably not. I'm poor and totally out of the Oblivion universe. I don't know if Skyrim would be a good first game to buy into.

 

[Baradiel]

Not in the slightest. Maybe when its gone down in price, but I have no excitement for Skyrim. I tried Oblivion and thought it was one of the most overhyped pieces of rubbish I'd ever played, but hey/ To each there own.

 

[cybran]

yes I am, but where's the poll ?

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I'm considering selling my soul in order to get the game early.

 

[w9496]

Never. I got burned pretty bad on buying Oblivion, as in, I thought it was a peice of shit.

I won't make that mistake twice, although I may rent it.

 

[Irridium]

Eventually.

I've learned with Oblivion to not buy Bethesda games at launch. Served me well with Fallout 3 and I expect the same with Skyrim.

Give the community time to fix the bugs and/or broken mechanics. And to see if the game is, well, stable and not crash-happy.

 

[liquidsolid]

I will get all kinds of Skyrim, I enjoyed Oblivion a whole lot and don't regret anything other than not getting the GOTY edition (still haven't played Shivering Isles). I haven't pre-ordered it but I have not pre-ordered a game for years.

 

[jakeblues1295]

Not just yeah, but HELL YEAH!!!! I pre-ordered it in Feb, and then upgraded it to the CE first chance I got.

 

[Jaime_Wolf]

Absolutely and immediately.

Oblivion was Morrowind with better combat, a more stereotypical fantasy setting, and a much less engaging story. The thing is, the combat wasn't much better and the thing that saved Morrowind was how incredibly well the setting and story made up for the combat.

Given how much they've talked about bringing back the originality and focus on story in addition to the improved combat (the videos alone show how much the combat has improved), I have very few doubts about Skyrim.

I'm surprised by the number of people here who liked Fallout 3 and disliked Oblivion though. My opinion of the two was more or less identical for all of the same reasons.

 

[Nuuu]

I've never even seen or heard of an Elderscrolls game until Skyrim, with all the hype it's gotten and all the extra money, i decided to buy it, i guess i'll see how it turns out.

[Nautical Honors Society]

Yea I will probably get it. Does it matter story-wise that I have yet to beat another elder scrolls game?

 

[trollnystan]

Yup. I even got the collectors edition even though I REALLY can't afford it. BAD ME.

Like you I was disappointed with Oblivion. I loved Morrowind and I felt Oblivion didn't have the same feel or atmosphere. I still haven't finished it. Made me feel Bethesda had lost their touch.

Fallout 3 has redeemed them a lot in my eyes - I thought it a fun game if not really GOTY quality - and everything I've seen or heard about Skyrim since gets me more and more excited.

Now I can only hope my computer can run it!

 

[New Frontiersman]

Eventually yes, but not on release day, I think I'd prefer to wait until the price drops and all the bugs are patched out.

Also I'd like to wait a while for all the good mods and DLC to be released.

 

[CM156_v1legacy]

Sorry, but no.

At least not at launch. Oblivion is one of only a few games I've never finished. Nor do I plan on finishing it any time soon, by the way.

 

[Fieldy409_v1legacy]

anyway. yes. fucking yes.

Hmmm, probably not. I'm poor and totally out of the Oblivion universe. I don't know if Skyrim would be a good first game to buy into.

The games aren't designed to follow on from one another in a specific order, the only thing linking them is the world they're set in. They often have little references to events from the previous games, but that's about it, so Skyrim would be as good a first entry as any to get into The Elder Scrolls games.

OT: Yes, definitely. As of about a week ago I've played every Elder Scrolls game released (excluding the mobile phone one), and I greatly enjoyed them all. I've got no reason to think Skyrim will be an exception, so purchasing it is a sure thing for me.
