Poll: Skyrim mini dlemma

[Wuggy]

PC

I mean, you'll miss out on about 60% of the game by NOT getting it on the PC.

Did you even bother to read the OP? It's four sentences, shouldn't be that much of problem. He specifically said that PC is not an option.

OT: I don't think it really matters all that much to be honest. I hear the cater a bit more to the 360, but I honestly don't think there's any meaningful difference between the platforms. Then again, if you want to be rather safe than sorry, don't get it first day and find out if one version is clearly inferior to another, because we can't really know that before release.

Apart from 360 getting DLC earlier I doubt there will be much difference between the 2 consoles performance wise.

Although, as people have stated, if you can wait a couple of days after it's released you will be able to see which one has the least issues and get it for that one.

To be honest i'm not clued up on console performance. I did have a 360 but gave it to my son a year ago and stuck to my PC. I have never owned a PS3 although I wanted one my missus said it would be a waste of money because i'd rarely use it.

So all I can say with any knowledge is get it on which ever one you prefer most.

Bar waiting and finding out which version has less bugs I can offer no real advice.

I won't plug the PC version mainly due to you saying you don't have a good enough machine and there isn't much point updating that just for Skyrim when a console can do the job minus mods.

If I did have to take a wild stab at which one version to get i'd have to say 360 though. You get the DLC earlier which may be an indication of getting patches earlier if the issues are that big.

If you can't run it on pc (for the mods) then 360. As people have said, it's been designed for the 360, then ported to the ps3.

 

[Kestor]

I wouldn't make your decision based on DLC, I know for a fact that Ill be 80+ hrs in before I even start the main quest...

 

[Voulan]

I'm naturally more inclined towards a PS3 copy. Because, you know, that's the only console I have. I hope I helped you.

 

[The Pinray]

I say Xbox 360. Seems to be Bethesda's console of choice what with all the previews being on it. I'm getting it for the 360, too. I have a PC that can run it, but I hate gaming on the thing.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

My blood boils every time I boot up my PS3, so I can't really recommend it.

Also, it will only look marginally better on PlayStation.

 

[Ready2Go]

ps3 is will probally have worse loading times and glitches (fallout was terrible on ps3)
so i have to say 360, thats what bethisda intended anyway

 

[Wintermoot]

fix up your PC the mod,s are worth it.

 

[Outright Villainy]

360 would be better than PS3 I'd say, since the former is the system they're building it for. I prefer the 360 controller too, and honestly, that's the most important choice: whatever controller you prefer.

 

[Red Bomb]

IF I had a choice I would go for PC anyway BUT I don't so I'll say 360. I just prefer it to the PS3, nice controller and I'm a bit of a fangirl.

 

[CuteRocketeer]

PC is the only way to go.

 

[Aprilgold]

Greeaattt... More skyrim discussion.

PC will have the most content.
360 will run better.
PS3 will look slightly better.
PC will have problems running, its a port.
360 will have long load times.
PS3 will have the most bugs.

Pick your poison.

 

[Vuljatar]

PC.

Yes, I read the OP, thanks.

Bethesda games are the games you upgrade/replace your PC for. That's what I'm doing.

If that's not practical from a financial standpoint, PS3.

 

[Aoper]

I'd honestly say PS3. I'm a PC gamer first and foremost (I spent a ton of money on a new machine primarily for Skyrim) but I tend to think games look better on the PS3. I own both a 360 and a PS3, so I'm a pretty unbiased source.

 

[Da Orky Man]

Wel, thhey keep showing it on 360, and Oblivion looked better on it, so I suggest that.

 

[LogicNProportion]

I'm getting it for 360 AND PC.

PC for modding community, 360 because they made it for it.

Soooo, yeah, go for the 360!

*PS3 turns away in shame and goes back to its corner where it is used as a HD-FF/MGS machine*

 

[poleboy]

360, unless you want a shit port. Any TES game after Morrowind not on 360 is a shit port. The good thing about PC is that you can mod it into a non-shit port. You can't do that on PS3.

 

[MintberryCrunch]

360, definitely. I'll be getting it on PC and Xbox 360, 360 because Skyrim was built for the console, and PC because of the better graphics available (I'm NOT being elitist, Todd Howard said that PC would have higher resolutions and better textures) and the mods.

 

[thepauper]

trade in your consoles and get a decent pc. problem solved.
