See, I'm just not going to play it during the week, except maybe release week. But I am also having a tough ass semester, I might not play much until christmas break, but I will buy it in case I get the opportunity.
Who else is putting off buying Skyrim?

I won't be buying Skyrim, purely because Dark Souls has delivered on everything that got me excited about it.
I mean, huge open world? Check.
Intricate fighting, weapon, upgrade and inventory systems? Check.
Massive level of detail? Check.
A good challenge to complete? Check about a thousand times.
Dragons? While not as dynamic as Skyrim's, check.
Story and world lore all woven beautifully into gameplay? Check, but Skyrim won't have that anyway, since I'm sure it'll be the hundred different books you can pick up and read... I'm playing a game, I don't want to read books! Plus I can't wait to talk to people by moving my head two inches away from there face and seeing them stare blankly at me while they talk. Then again, this might be rather dated thoughts on my part xD
Basically, Dark Souls has chewed Skyrim up and spat it out for me.

I'm putting it on my Christmas list. It's not that exciting to me, but knowing myself, I'm still going to get it, try it, and probably ether keep it or trade it in for Twisted Metal or The Darkness II
Well, I'd never pre-buy something on Steam or wheverer, because I don't like the idea of comitting to buy something that is unproven by any reviews. It' objectionable.
But whether I buy Skyrim depends in the end on how much time I'm prepared to lose from my life. Which will be "lots", I guess.

Yeah, I'm getting that. Already picking out where I'm going to put the Alduin statue and the tabletop map.CM156 said:
I'm getting through the rough beginning (followed by the rougher exams, but at least then I'll know whether I get the stuff or not) so I'm getting it around the christmas holidays. Plus hopefully that'll be enough time for them to start patching the tidal wave of bugs people seem to suspect. Advantage, for sure, but I think that since it's on a completely new engine some optimism isn't too far fetched.
No way. Ordered my copy a few days ago and it's getting installed and played as soon as it arrives.
Arkham city is out on the 8th, giving me 3 days to beat it before Skyrim comes on the 11th. Uncharted should arrive on the 2nd, so I should be able to beat before the others. I'll have to mix in a little battlefield and dark souls beforehand obviously.
I really love that I have money.

I'm still getting it at release but I doubt I'll play it until a week or two later due to a combination of school work due in those last few weeks and the fact that I'm still be playing BF3 and Uncharted 3 along with the new AC 4 days later, since its purely a single player game its getting pushed back. I tend not to let games effect school too much.
I'll probably get it the week after it comes out, on my birthday. I'll be getting it on consoles to play the vanilla version, then I'll wait a few years until my rig's been updated, and then I'll get it on PC for mods.
Too many games, too little time.
