g_bassi13 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Have you considered Steam? I have, but: a ) The game is going to cost almost triple the amount it would for an Indian retail copy (no joke) b ) I don't have a computer to play it on at the moment, so I'm going to a friends to play it on his. On top of letting me play it, I don't know he'd be cool with downloading 6-7 gb of data. c ) I have a habit of collecting retail copies of games. There's just something about online digital media I don't really like. The only ones I don't have DVDs for are some indie games I have on steam. I was a little peeved about this yesterday (hence that earlier jumbled up post), but I calmed down pretty easily, because even though I've been waiting a few years for it, it's still just a game, lol. Also, can someone confirm that this is really only 6 Gb? How did they manage that? Did they spend 2 years making it and 3 years compressing the hell out of it?

g_bassi13 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 5.7gb. God damn Bethesda, lol. If the game is really as vast as they claim, that's some amazing work. It's to the point where I wonder "Did they even need to make it that small?" There are other RPGs I can think of like Dragon Age Origins that are 15gb (minus the dlc). Despite being long to play through, it isn't exactly open world, and it manages to be almost 9 gb more. Hell, a short ass game like portal 2 takes up 2gb more. Even 6 year old Oblivion was only 1 gb less. Again, it's just really impressive work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've waited years for BF3, and alas, I'm too broke atm. Yeah, it's 5.2Gb. Visuals are dated compared to some other games, but it's still quite a feat to compress such a large game. Oh, and it is pretty big, I've only played for a couple of hours though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah feel for you too I'm getting paid today and hoping I can find myself a copy around town somewhere. I have even been avoiding joining my friends parties and stuff just so I don't have to listen to all the epicness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 What's this like? I've heard the visuals aren't too great. I'm probably going to end up renting it once my essays are all handed in this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably going to end up renting it once my essays are all handed in this week. It's like Oblivion, except with more to do in more refined ways. Now if you haven't played Oblivion... it's umm.. pretty goddamn cool. Run around killing, looting, crafting, and killing dragons. What more needs to be said? :D Visuals are somewhat dated. I was playing Crysis before it, and that game is much better looking (although it's not a free world blah blah blah different game altogether).

Unless of course you just plan to rip through the main story in which case you probably just shouldn't play it at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest gumballthechewy Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I can't decide on what to name my Nord... either Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin or Jannik Hanson... Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sakage.shinga Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 It's Nord, so how about Hank-Dan Sedin The Great jannik Of hanson... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sterling Archer Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I bought the Collector's edition strategy guide... this game is immense. Honestly if you don't get the guide, you're only playing a fraction of the game. And the graphics sure as hell don't look dated. This game is breath-taking on PC, and not too shabby on the box either. But, too many idiots place way too much importance on graphics (least important part of any game).

DollarAndADream Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I was just reading a guide on the Playstation UK website that said when you're fighting dragons to let them attack your horse...because your horse never dies. Little do they know, my horse lasted me for 3 dragons, until the 4th one killed him. I had to walk the rest of the way to the next town, which was a long way. A companion is a great way to distract a dragon while killing it though. To the guy saying he will rent this game, don't. If you don't want to buy it, then don't even rent it. This game is a buy-only.....if you rent it you will NOT experience nearly as much as anyone else. Side note: I love how when you kill a dragon, it's skeleton stays where you slayed him. There is one that I managed to slay in the middle of a road....so I see it sometimes, although you can walk through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Hank-Dan Sedin The Great Jannik of Hanson." Dragons and men alike shall tremble before me! Not only am I going to name my Nord that but also my first born son!

ZackAttack-9 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Ordered the game and the guide, i actually need to stay in and stop blowing my money, I figured this was a reasonable way to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Ordered the game and the guide, i actually need to stay in and stop blowing my money, I figured this was a reasonable way to do that. Nice investment. Spend around $100 to save hundreds...or even thousands. This is going to sound dumb, but I haven't done anything this weekend because of Skyrim. Anyone who has me on PSN probably knows that. It's Saturday now.....and I don't think I'm doing anything either besides watching the Velasquez/JDS fight. Although, it is Skyrim's fault that I spent over $100 on Battlefield 3, MW3 and ICO HD Collection. I couldn't wait for Skyrim so I needed things to hold me off. If only Skyrim came out first....then I could have easily waited for those other games. I need to really cool down on this Elder Scrolls binge.

Sterling Archer Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 With Elder Scrolls, if you're using a guide, you're doing it wrong. Lol nope. It's all about creating exactly what you want, getting exactly what gear you want. And also knowing as much as possible about the world you're in.

(not really ) Haha in oblivion I made an Argonian character named "Butt-Puncher The Harbringer" Harbinger was his class so it was sweet and I just went around using h2h and puching people....s buts. But I just picked up my copy of Skyrim and can't wait to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
