Which version shall I buy? : V - Skyrim

» Mon May 07, 2012 3:58 pm

You think this not possible with PC?

It's not for me. It's easier for me to buy the PS3 version than move my PC closer to my TV.

You'll run the game on max settings with little difficulty with those specs, as long as you're not running a giant monitor.

Go PC.

In addition to what others have said about mods and graphics (if your rig is good):

You can also get a game controller for your PC, so even the argument that the console has better controls and "you can sit in a couch" is invalid since you can get the same controller for the PC (though not 100% exact I'd say). I still find the keyboard and mouse better though

PC>Console, always, if you have a half decent rig.

Both. PS3 for playing the game and PC for the mods. I've always had a hard time playing these type of games on the PC because I spend more time trying to find the perfect mods than actually playing the game. That's where the PS3 version comes in.

PC, no question. Don't listen to any console apologists on this one.

And don't listen to any PC elitists on this one :whistling:

This. Same here, but for XBOX.

PC, 'cause you can have better graphics and all that good ol'stuff and the mods ofcourse.

Only upside of the PS3 is that you can put the TV infront of your bed or couch and play all night long and blow your neighbours outta their beds at 2 AM!

Remember to put the music aloud then though.

yes, and in the thread poster's opinion, which is what matters here, shoo now.

Haha! That is the OPPOSITE of what matters here. He is asking for OUR opinions. I just don't like it when people state opinion as fact. So, you shoo now. Typical.

What are you talking about? yes, he's asking our opinion based on HIS preferences silly, which happens to be mouse and keyboard controls, see, wasn't that hard to figure out was it?

As you can use the 360 controller, PC controls are always >= 360 controls.

I know, but to use the controller you have to buy one. And I prefer a controller to keyboard, so to me it's PC =< Xbox 360

I'm not denying that Pc is better on the whole, just saying

Ever thought about plugging your PC to your TV? Get the benefits from both.

I don't have all the facilities to support it, I know it's only a couple of wires and a remove controller, but I don't feel the need that better graphic is worth relocating or adding a PC to the living room for gaming. Mod wise, since Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and NV, I have rarely try the community mods.

I suppose I am getting aged up

Better graphic no longer means better game experience for me, what I see on the net in terms of Xbox and PS3 quality is enough for me.

I love to tell my computer chair to buck off.

I find you very irritating.

Exactly, expressing our opinion. But you said it as if it was fact. That's all I was saying.

Good job on attempting to patronise someone in order to make yourself feel as though you're winning the argument.

Well done, champ.

That was sorta the point of the manner I responded, I'm just tired of being called an elitist everytime I dare suggest the PC is superior (which it objectively is, if you can afford it). Though it was a lil childish of me I admit.

@palex123 Oh dont give me that nonsense, I said it was fact as a repsosne to him, based on something he'd already stated. And please don't go all moral high ground on me, you acted in the exactly the same manner.

Definitely PC. With the PC version you can use player made mods which are AWESOME and player made patches for some things overlooked by the gaming companies.

» Tue May 08, 2012 3:24 am

PS3, as you're using a Mac.

» Mon May 07, 2012 6:19 pm

Both will be good. Both will have good graphics so ignore the "CONSOLE HAS AWFUL GRAPHICS" and just choose what you think you would enjoy more. No one can decide for you.

» Tue May 08, 2012 4:46 am

If you can only afford one, definitely PC... otherwise get both. I bought versions for 360 and PC.

PS3, as you're using a Mac.

I am actually, and I am slowly retiring from buying any more PC (for the last 15 years I have both).

Edit: Both PC and Mac.

This.

I also own a PS3 and many great games for it (Heavy Rain, Vanquish, Uncharted, Enslaved etc etc) but for TES i just want to be able to use mods as i'm still doing with Oblivion (100+ mods so far making it a totally different game).

You clearly didn't read the post did you? Do you know what Bootcamp is?

Thanks for all the other replies. I think I'll get the PC version now. Maybe the PS3 also :biggrin:
