I am only level 11, first treasure chest I went to find DID NOT SPAWN. This is a confirmed bug.

These people who say "I haven't had any bugs" are simply not encountering them yet, or not noticing them.
The bugs exist.
Just because you have not created the scenario for the bug to emerge, does not mean the bug doesn't exist.

I'm on a PS3 Slim and have a relatively small save file. Once I hit the treasure chest bug, I tried to reload a file 10x
Hours later, and I realized, the chest is not going to spawn, ever. Game is broken

I'm not a big fan of IGN but i don't see what's the problem. The lag on skyrim in the PS3 was a screwed up.

On PC and 360 is freaking awesome though

Thats pretty observant of you. Did you factor in that ppl come to the forums to ask about bugs and such.

Or the fact that if you have no problems with the game one probably wouldn't come to the forums anyway.

Or the fact that the ppl on these forums are a fraction of the number of ppl who are playing the game and all them have yet to have to make a forum account due to the game working fine.

I haven't had one major problem with the game in about 50hours of playing. It's not that I don't beleive that it happens, it's that I can't see how it's so bad when my game works almost perfectly. I know there are lots of variables, but something is up.

Everyone experiences the game for themselves and has their own opinion. I have a long list of things with the game that I'd like to see fixed, but I'm still enjoying it after many hours (I can't really say how many because I've done things like take a lengthy nap with the game paused). If IGN's article makes folks who are feeling frustrated feel vindicated, fine! Still, their experience is not mine, and one of the outcomes of their dramatic declarations about Skyrim has been to persuade me that IGN is irrelevant to my interests.

I may not care that IGN is the one who said it, but they're right. The PS3 version of Skyrim is a big mess. Whenever I can actually play my game again without running into lag and broken quests, I'd love to play it some more.

Oh, and Dark Souls does beat Skyrim, if only because it is a well polished game that works much better than the latter.

I'd say it's one of the biggest screw ups of all time if you consider the potential of the game. I'm unbelievably pissed that I have this 'great' game, one of the best i've played in a long while and I can't [censored]in play it!!! The problems have just gotten worse with the new patch and now I don't even make it 20 minutes before another crash, the last one caused my PS3 to reboot and say something about corrupt files which leads me to believe it's actually a danger to my PS3's health now and I won't be putting this disc into my PS3 again. This is [censored]in pathetic from Bethesda. IGN is spot on

Wow.Bethesda just needs to do a full recall and refund ps3 users their money(if they want a refund,that is.Only a fraction of ps3 users are having these issue's)Clearly they either

1.Dont know how to develop on the ps3

2.Dont care enough about the ps3 to put the resources into finding the issues,OR

3.The ps3 just isnt designed to run these massive games.Which has been shown with 2 other Bethesda games.(this is my personal opinion)

But really,it is a screw up,one that isnt totally Bethesda's (dev team) fault.How do we know if they (Zenimax & $ony) didnt push this team to release on the ps3,well aware of the issue's that may arise,just to avoid $ony's wrath.I truly feel for the percantage of ps3 users unable to play this game,I feel sorry that they have to miss out on this fantastic game,and I really hope that a fix comes sooner then later.

Now im off to begin another marathon session,Skyrim is really a amazing game on the PC

u know i wanna see someone plow thru the game as fats as possible, 1 game for EACH questline, 1 entire game for just main story, 1 game for just civil war, 1 game for just each one of the guild quest lines, and heck throw in one game only the misc and exploring. Go thru do nothing but those quests, beat it and then delete and go to next one. If someone could do something like this this would basically be the determining factor of which is broken the game or the console? because if the game is broken it should not let u do or proceed thru each one and finish. if someone is able to go thru and complete every single one but does a game where they do all of it at same time and have the problems, then it would be the console not being able to handle it, if said personw as nto able to go thru each questline due to at soem point it was lagging and major freezing then its the games fault.

myself i alrdy know whats the problem but sad u wont ever be able to convince the people who are in denial. theres a good reason for the rage but im very surprised its not being directed at the place it should.

Yeah but that is basically true with just about every game. Go to metacritic look up Dark Souls which was a horrible game that relied on cheap difficulty and see how many perfect scores it got. At least i can stand proud by Skyrim saying hey most of the bugs/flaws are ignorable and will be patched away, not Dark Souls.

IGN is or rather was owned by News Corp. You know the channel that makes Conservatives look like hicks instead of conservatives. So yeah screw IGN. If I owned Zenimax Ign wouldn't be getting another preview, review copy, or screen again.

There went your objectivity.

Seriously, you act like the PS3 is just being lazy or incompetent or something.

IF YOU ARE GOING TO RELEASE A GAME ON A PLATFORM, IT IS YOUR JOB, NOT THE JOB OF AN INANIMATE OBJECT (the PS3), TO MAKE IT WORK. Seriously, think about it.

Minecraft
Stronghold 3
Dungeons...

I could find others.

Regardless: The PS3 issue has put a lot of people off, so if this was an independently released article by a random blogger, that would be one thing; however, the fact remains that the exact same people gave Skyrim a glowing review and voted it one of their choice picks of the year.

Does this negate the fact that some PS3 owners are having issues that make their game unplayable? I don't know, I have the nice stable Windows version... but still no, it doesn't negate that fact at all.

The issue is: IGN are hypocrits, charlatans, and shisters. To hold up what they say as evidence of your own opinion being valid, is not the best of ideas.

Really? You guys still take IGN seriously? The same site that praises the Call of Duty franchise and Halo as the best games ever? Put out the "Top 5 reasons why Dark Souls will eat Skyrim's face"? The same company that are all clearly mornoic biased xbox 360 fan boys? They are the Fox News of the gaming industry, no journalistic integrity whatsoever.

Fail.

We take them seriously when they speak the truth, the PS3 version is screwed up.

BTW, you're the one coming off as biased.

Which means you only take them seriously when they agree with you.

They gave Kane and Lynch 2 a good review because Edios paid them loads of money and fired one of their employees when he said it svcked. Machinima are worse, but I'd still take anything they say with a mountain of salt because most of their articles are nonsensical gibberish and they tend to overexaggerate everything. Sorry, but I don't trust those kind of sites.

No, the PS3 version IS screwed up, do you deny that?

You don't need to trust them, look around THIS site to see that they speak the truth in this case.

There is irony hiding somewhere in your statement...

Just look at the title of the article, "Skyrim one of 2012's biggest flops"

It is designed to svck in enraged viewers who will promptly type out comments that are even more illegible than the article. Does it have bugs to work out? Sure, does the PS3 version need a lot of work? Absolutely, I'm not trying to deny it, but one of 2012's biggest flops? That is just Grade A crap, that award goes to Saints Row 3.

When I look at this topic, I see what what is wrong with the human race - ignorant people all to eager to jump to conclusions, ignore the facts, and baselessly defend "their side". I mean, did you even read what IGN had to say? It was entirely fair and pretty much just regarded as a fact around here. Hell, they were nice and didn't even mention the massive amount of other bugs or the PC version. Did you realize that Skyrim vs X game is just an opinion?

It's not bashing Skyrim to say that the lag-issues with the PS3 was a huge mistake. It's just a fact.

Its true

It is a fact and people defending Beth releasing buggy software are just shooting themselves in the foot. The people blaming the PS3 are just clueless. To these people Beth could have released a Wii port with 2 FPS and they would blame the Wii.

Pretty sure that there is no article, anywhere titled that. Maybe you should try typing it into google before making baseless claims? Just goes to further prove my point... /sigh
