Why don't YOU have Skyrim?

- Start date
I had only enough money for one upcoming game and I chose Saints Row: The Third over Skyrim.
I was excited for Skyrim, but moreso for Saints Row. Solely based on their predecessors, I tried to get into Oblivion but found it boring, but I had a blast playing and replaying SR2.
Of course if I had 120 bucks instead of just 60, then the point would be moot.

Because
a) I don't get paid until next week, and until then I'm broke
b) I'm waiting for a new PC to run it
c) Oblivion is occupying me until a and b are fulfilled

Well, I just spent all my money on a brand new shiny microphone, so I only had enough left for one game. I was planning to buy BF3, Skyrim, the new LotR and a few others, but then I was stuck with choosing one of all these instead of getting 'em all. I chose Battlefield because I was in the mood for some Multiplayer and generally in the mood for some FPS. Plus, seeing the first half hour or so of Skyrim's gameplay didn't really impress me as much as I thought it would, so I'm going to get it sometime in a few months or so. For December, I'm definitely getting the Animus Edition of AC Revelations, so Skyrim is quite a bit down the list ATM.
Because Up Until Last Night, I Had Never Played An Elder Scrolls Game And Had No Interest In Doing So, But Was Finally Convinced To Buy Oblivion While It Was On Offer...
...I Don't Regret It... And I Will Get Skyrim When I Am Not Skint... I Have 1d In The Bank. No, Really, A Penny. That's It. And Nothing In My Wallet. XD

Same engine, better visuals, even the animations are the same.nikki191 said:
I hate the feel Bethesda games have, the controls are all over the place and I just HATE the melee combat.
I played it for a few hours at a friend's house but I still haven't decided if that's the game I want to buy. I have 60$ and a PS3 and need to choose between:
1) Dark Souls (I would have gotten that already, but I read that it's buggy and laggy and people can dupe items and everyone is waiting for some huge patch due some time before Christmas)
2) Skyrim (I have horrible experiences from Bethesda games in consoles, Oblivion is pretty much the only one that was decent, Morrowind had read disk errors, Fallout 3 GOTY froze every 10 minutes and they never fixed it, New Vegas is still a mess and crashes often). I'm really reluctant to give Bethesda another wad of my cash so they can rip me off with a non functioning product again.
3) Ico-Shadow Collection. I'll certainly get that at some point, but it's a luxury purchase.
4) Arkham City. Looks great, but will probably rent that, don't think it's worth 60$.
5) AC: Revelations. See above.

i'm so going to fail the year
I am simply not fond of Bethesda Games.
I mean its impressive, sure. But Fallout, Oblivion, I had some fun dicking around, but I know that dicking around is all I'll ever fucking do in those games, before losing interest and putting them on the shelf.
Sometimes that's enough, but not for 60 bucks.

Not to bring too much temptation into your act, but meanwhile you could always go weak and install Windows on your Mac. Easy peasy done and all the games of the Windows world would be yours to waste your time with, ruin your career and wreak havoc on your relationship.Slenn said:
Why not give it a try?

I, too, generally despise all melon farmers and the melon farming mainstream.
So, here's what I did:
My rogue casts fireballs and summons her own tanks. That's the power of Skyrim. Splendid fun!
Because I have absolutely no interest in any of the Elder Scrolls games. They just look boring to me.
I have very little money and a computer that couldn't handle it. Luckily I have Morrowind, and Oblivion is only a little upgrade away from being playable.
And considering the length of these games and the many others I have lined up, I probably won't get around to Skyrim until Elder Scrolls 7 comes out.

Because I got bored of Oblivion way too fast. And I exploited the 'cast x to increase skill in x' by putting a book on my mouse and going out for coffee.
