Really nice score, however I didn't think it would be any less.

Only one thing I was concerned about apparently came true:

Quote:
This menu can then quickly be brought up during a fight, pausing the action, so you swiftly adjust to the changing nature of a battle without having to page through the main menu system, though on PC an option to also bind items and spells to number keys would have been appreciated.

It surely would have. After watching a few videos in the heat of battle, it seems to break the flow of the game any time that you need to go to the main menu to use something.

Hopefully they'll patch that in, or it will be capable of being done through mods.

No problem! Great news to me! Yeah there are some bugs and stability issues but there will be a day one patch and more to come!

Hmm, someone focuses on the score instead of reading the content, why am I not surprised?

Based on their breakdown it should have got a 9.6, but I guess they only like a scale of 0.5...

EDIT: If you read their ratings guide, the way the define a ten fits Skyrim exactly, says may not be flawless, but flaws are easily overlooked. Well the only flaw I saw them give was the close combat was clunky, but they said it was easily overlooked...

Does the review contain any major spoilers? Too afraid to read it.

» Tue May 08, 2012 4:17 pm

Huzzah! Nothing but glowing scores so far

» Tue May 08, 2012 9:02 pm

Well now I'm celebrating my rank up to curate! I've been looking forward to that one star! WOOT! Two celebrations! This calls for an Orange n' cream soda!

EDIT: OMG Hammy of Doom, that guy is so adorable, I have a chinese hamster now. I've had a total of six, just love those puffs!

And guys, these early players are having a slightly problematic time because they don't have the day 1 patch for 11/11/11. Just letting you know!

» Tue May 08, 2012 11:50 am

awesome. i liked the pc gameplay. except for the ui but that will be modded so im not worried.

» Wed May 09, 2012 12:34 am

Does the review contain any major spoilers? Too afraid to read it.

the second vid does the pc version. it contains 2 minor spoilers if u look close enough.

i didnt bother to read past the first two lines.. soo much text lol.

» Tue May 08, 2012 12:40 pm

It clearly states the the PC version is the best one graphic wise.

» Tue May 08, 2012 5:24 pm

Good review, very unusual from IGN. Obviously the reviewer in question has experience with RPGs, again that is very unusual, but most welcome.

» Tue May 08, 2012 7:12 pm

It's true that the PC will have superior visuals but I'm content with my PS3.
