Didn't see any info on these in the forums.........

One word...... Wow!!!!!

I am shocked IGN had the balls to give it a higher rating than Modern Warfare 3.

I am shocked Modern Warfare 2.5, errr I mean 3 got a higher rating than Hello Kitty Online

I'm surprised it got a rating at all :pftch:


but seriously, This game drops in 12 hours.... this is going to be hard....

dangit! I turn around for 12 seconds to refill my coffee and i get beat!

that's what she said.

Skyrim is the highest rated game for 360 and PC, and 2nd highest for PS3. Cant say I'm suprised one bit. Fantastic job BGS! I cant wait to play in 15 hours!!! It's killing me!

18/20
Not a very good score for the graphics though

This is definitely PC footage. Look at the scenery starting @ 55 secs. Gorgeous.

The movement looks smoother too, thanks to the higher FPS, when shown in third-person or riding a horse, for example.

Can't wait!

You know what this really says? When pros are giving this game 100's with KNOWN technical issues? This says this game is so overwhelmingly good, the glitches can't take away from the experience.

Go Bethesda!

Not only 95% over 37 reviews, not one of those reviews is below 90%! Why won't steam just hurry up and unlock this masterpiece

10/10s across the board. I have never been more psyched for this game.

And oh no! FIVE WHOLE FREEZES! Throughout at least 50 hours of gameplay! Whatever shall we do?!

I'm not sure what to think of these's reviews. They seem consistent, bugs are still elder scrolls bugs ( ive come to love them ... because there what helps define Bethesda's style in my mind)... but the rest bothers me a little. They ressemble to much those of Oblivion. Not that it was a bad game.. it was just a rushed game ( by Bethesda standards at least). I find myself not overhyping... but ready to be disapointed. Is this a good mindset to assault a game like this? This is coming from a guy that pre-purchased Duke Nukem expecting a ridiculous action game with childish humour and outdated graphics... got exeactly what he expected... and enjoyed the heck out of it ( dont play it anymore though XD). I afraid that I will be nitpicky...

This is definitely GoTY, I don't see any other game getting higher scores then it anytime soon.

39 reviews in on metacritic and average score is still 95. Amazing!

This is the only thing that gets me.

Morrowind was hailed as a brilliant game in many regards, but criticized for poor combat. Oblivion was hailed as a brilliant game in many regards, but criticized for poor combat. Skyrim is being praised as a brilliant game in many regards, but criticized for poor combat.

At what point does Bethesda say, "with people playing these games for hundreds of hours, maybe we should try to make the combat mechanics more entertaining"?

Man, this forum is flying today!

Try not to go into the game too negative, or you will be looking out for the little imperfections and noticing them more and ruining the experience for yourself, i try to start a game with no expectations or doubts, not that its always easy with a game like this. in fact im probably overhyped.

The combat looks fine to me. How would you like the combat to be changed?

Do any of those actually have PC code to review?

GameInformers review stated they didnt have PC code to review so used the xbox version. PC review in a few more days.

Also seen mention of the typical Bethesda game bugs in many reviews.
