Poll: What console are you playing Skyrim on?

[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.

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.

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

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.

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?

 

[DirgeNovak]

PS3, since my laptop is shit. Whyyyy did my desktop PC explode?!
But since I never used mods in Oblivion or Fallout 3, that doesn't change much for me.

 

[Brian Hendershot]

On my PC. The way it was meant to be played.

Unless the Xbox version is better (by some twist of fate). I heard someone saying it was designed for that console in mind...but...I do like mods.

Also, this is off topic but, I am really not a fan of having to sit through an ad for captcha.

 

[Free Thinker]

I'm torn between Xbox and PS3. I just don't have the funds currently for a top-end gaming PC. But if there are slight graphics changes favoring PC, or less glitches on 1 console, then my mind will be made up.

 

[Hazy]

PC, because the community will probably, in typical Bethesda fashion, have to finish the game themselves.

Oh, and mods.

 

[zelda2fanboy]

PS3. I also have a 360, but I recently bought an extended warranty on the Sony system. I went through three Bethesda games on my old model 360 elite and I never got the three red lights or the E74 error. Wasted 60 bucks for that warranty. I know one more game will brick my 360, since it's expired now.

 

[Jaime_Wolf]

I would never want to play an Elder Scrolls game on a console.

 

[Liudeius]

I should play it on PC, but I'll probably get it for PS3.
What's up with all of these Skyrim topics surging recently? It was quiet for a little while after the announcement, and now it has started back up again.

 

[Zenn3k]

I don't own a PC (I own a Mac, which won't have this title).

I don't own a PS3, because...well, why would I?

I DO own a 360, so that will be what I play Skyrim on...eventually.

You can always bootcamp it. Then it wouldn't matter if you have a mac.

I'm aware of this.

Its also a laptop, gaming on a 2 year old laptop isn't exactly amazing.

Graphically, the 360 experience will be superior, and why would I wanna screw up such an amazing looking game with a mobile video card?

Plus then I'd have to spend $300 and buy Windows.

 

[Yokai]

I spent a good deal of money upgrading my PC this summer for the sole purpose of playing Skyrim on it. So yes, PC for me.

 

[omicron1]

PC!
'Cause seeing this thing on high with user-generated graphics mods (4x grass distance? 2x texture resolution? Extra shaders?) will not be a sight readily missed.

 

[Argol228]

Of course to beat a dead horse MODS!. also all you people with your foolish "Consoles are more immersive" BS How can you say that it is more immersive on a console what is the major point of difference? controls? PC can use keyboard and mouse or 360/ps3 pad.
