Skyrim and MW3 come out on the same week, so.........

[templargunman]

Hm... I could either buy what will probably be the next great rpg that will be talked about for years after its release, or I could buy another call of duty... Hm... this is hard.
I have no doubt that MW3 will be good, but when I get it I'll play the campaign once and then play it a lot with my friends for about a week, start getting bored and play it less and less as I find other things in which the experience changes and doesn't stagnate once you've learned all the multiplayer maps.

Wow. Activision should be shitting their pants judging by this thread.

Fuck Activision and MW2 and 3's plot. Right in the ear.

Skyrim all the way

 

[SlasherX]

This is going to spell death for Skyrim. Poor choice by Bethesda to release it during the same week as CoD: Modern Cashcow 3, or CoD: 14 year olds wrangle another 60$ out of their parents 3. I'm predicting they either push back or move forward the release date by a week or two. Mark it.

 

[OManoghue]

Skyrim all the way. If I'm gonna waste 300 hours it certainly won't be in Afghanistan or whatever.

 

[superdelux]

It just might be possible that Skyrim will surpass MW3 in first day sales if every 12 year-old with an X-box gets a flu or responsible parents.

 

[DaHero]

Hahahha...oh wait you're serious...lemme laugh harder...Skyrim of course!

 

[Dr Snakeman]

Hahahaha! You act like it's an actual choice. That's cute.


A vastly improved next installment in the Elder Scrolls franchise, that's been years in the making, versus yet another version of the exact same goddamn game?

I've never even owned an Elder Scrolls game, and even I'm excited for it. So, yeah, I'm likely giving MW3 a pass in favor of countless hours of RPG goodness. Not saying the shooter won't be fun; it likely will, it's just that there is going to be absolutely nothing new about it. I'm a broke-ass college student, and I'm not going to spend sixty bucks on a game that has three (cheaper) siblings that do exactly the same thing.

 

[Vault boy Eddie]

I'm not even buying Modern Warfare 3.

Problem solved!

This. But since I AM getting Battlefield 3, my time will be divided between the two.

 

[Scorpianhead]

Skyrim! MW3 is going to be realy pricey that i'll wait and get one of the best game seris ever first

 

[Bat Vader]

I plan on buying both Skyrim and MW3 on the day they are released. Most likely all of my time will be sunk into Skyrim until Mass Effect 3 comes out.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I'm not even buying Modern Warfare 3.

Problem solved!

Oh lookie here. The very first response to the thread reflects my own feelings on the matter.

And you'd better believe I'm going to sink entirely too much of my life into Skyrim. And it will be glorious.

 

[scorptatious]

I never bought nor will I ever buy a Call of Duty game. So Skyrim for me.

 

[Matt Wood]

no one seems to have mentioned that saints row the third is comming out on the 15th of november.
im gona save up and get that and skyrim.
collectors edditions, gotta love them nick nacks.

 

[captaincabbage]

Bah, I'm not even gonna bother with MW3. I'll hire it at best.

Yup, I've got my sights firmly set on Skyrim and I've never been so positive that a game will deliver.
My girlfriend and I have already decided, we're both gonna pre-order the game, pick it up on the day it's released, then go home and play it separately for the week, meet up, and tell our own tales of wonder and adventure.
It's gonna be awesome.

What a delightful idea, my wife and I might have to steal this idea from you good sir.

OT: Skyrim most definitely. CoD, while fun in brief increments, does not deserve a day one purchase - although I do like that they are bringing back that co-op mode, considering that was all I played anyway. But it certainly can wait until I can buy it used, for 15 dollars.

Have it man, the idea is now yours. XD

As for what you said, I just hope if anything, that MW3 brings back the persistent splitscreen multiplayer profiles from MW2. That said, I'm just gonna buy a used copy of MW2 to play with my mates.

 

[OrokuSaki]

I'm going to get Skyrim. I'll buy MW3......... about when hell freezes over.

 

[ArcticSquirrel]

Buy Skyrim, Skip MW3


I'll probably borrow MW3 from a friend or something, but I will not let Activision eat any more of my money.

 

[RedDeadFred]

Sequel to my favorite game of all time or another generic installment who's void will easily be filled an exceeded by Battlefield 3......?
This is gonna be a tough one.

 

[Ig88]

Man there is a ridiculous amount of stuff coming out this November, funny, considering how many games seemed to opt to not run against CoD last year.

OT: Disregard MW3, acquire Skyrim.

 

[Devil's Due]

Modern Warfare has my vote here, as I do not enjoy the Elderscrolls series, and I actually like Call of Duty, at least the Modern Warfare version, not the Black Ops or World at War stuff. I only like the modernized version, and while the story isn't as amazing as 4's was, I still want a conclusion to it, and I kind of miss breaking my controller in frustration at online play (not being sarcastic, I have no idea why, maybe it was funny to me afterwards as a story to tell my friends?).

 

[Atmos Duality]

Why should I care about either? A copypasta sequel of the most overhyped FPS series, or a copypasta sequel of an incredibly buggy and overhyped series?

Oblivion (and later Fallout 3) crashed constantly to being nearly unplayable, and Call Of Duty 4 failed to impress me (and the multiplayer was strictly inferior to several shooters I've played before).

*Sigh*
Nevermind my jaded attitude.
