Poll: What console are you playing Skyrim on?

[zehydra]

PC because of mods. Like everyone with a half-decent computer should.

I dunno, you're probably going to have to need a nicer-end computer to play this game on good graphics at a decent fps.

I'll be playing it on the PC, but because I can run it on my laptop on higher graphics than the XBOX. I don't care much for elderscrolls mods. I've always liked the vanilla versions better.

Seeing as how my PC is only one step above a toaster oven I'll play it on the 360.

Achievements!!!!!

 

[Chelsea O'shea]

360 for the 1st yr of it,no mods will not be great for a while since its a brand new engine and all and its more fun with a controller.

it's sad that good computers aren't cheap...

yeah, this is the only reason we still have consoles at all.

If good gaming comps were more easily affordable, there'd be little other reason for gaming consoles.

 

[zehydra]

PS3. Because if a game can't stand on it's own no mod will fix it lol. Thats just my reply to all the PC gamers here.

I totally agree. But I'll still be playing it on the PC for Graphics and the fact that I can't stand joysticks for First-Person view games.

It doesn't take much to run a game at 720p at 30 frames per second at medium settings (360/PS3 levels). I dropped a 25 dollar video card into a crappy single core sytem and was pulling that off on newer (2010/2011) games.

For 415 dollars, I got a system that runs Crysis and the Witcher 2 at almost full settings at 1080p. Guess what else is around that price?

You got a system that runs Crysis at 1080p at full fps for $415?

What did you buy?

Edit: I don't really like playing any modern games at anything less than 1080p

 

[synobal]

What console? None, what platform? PC

 

[spartan231490]

360, I love the controller. That's about it. It's also being designed on the 360, so I suspect that it will be the best experience.

QFT times a billion. Mods are what make most of these games anyway.

 

[RepeatAfterMe]

No Contest, you should already know we Escapists are generally PC Gamers.

 

[Necrofudge]

PC, because anything else would be insulting to the game. Bethesda was kind enough to give us the power of modding the game in any way we see fit. I don't understand why anyone would want to play it on a console where the experience would be ultimately inferior.

 

[lordlillen]

why is there no option for none because im not getting it, i hated oblivion and to me i dont see a big difference between these two games so im not going to bother there are to many good games anyway in december.

I mean it will dip down into the 30s when the action is really heavy, but it hangs around 45-60 pretty much everywhere else. Including the snow levels. Except for the final fight, which is one of the most unoptimized messes I have ever encountered.

Athlon II X4 3.00 ghz $100
5770 $100
Case $30
4 gigs 1333mhz DDr3 $30
Asus Mobo $70
1 TB HDD $50
PSU $30

$410

Plus I ripped the old HDD out of my computer and used it to install XP (recovered it and it recovered onto my new drive as it was first in BIOS); and I ripped the old DVD drive out.

Though eventually I put $30 into a wireless mouse and keyboard and $100 into 64 bit Windows 7, but that was optional.

 

[LooK iTz Jinjo]

Both PC and Xbox 360.

 

[scorptatious]

Most likely on my 360. Although considering I've recently found out I can play TF2 on my PC, playing the PC version may be a possibility as well.

Also, didn't Bethesda say they wanted console versions of the game to have access to mods as well?

 

[TConti]

Xbox at first, collectors edition if possible, then after a while I'll buy Skyrim for my PC from steam at a unreasonable discount. I did that for fallout 3 and it worked great. I normally go Xbox first because I'm gonna be too tempted to cheat.

 

[Raijha]

just dumped almost 900 into upgrading my pc to the max I could....for a combo of Skyrim and The Old Republic, definitely PC (it needed the upgrade anyway)

 

[badgersprite]

Most likely Xbox 360, but I might decide to get it on PS3 for graphical quality.

I'm surprised at how cheap that is. Where did you get it?
