:::digs up post from other thread:::: Where I said:

"Actually, out of the dozen or so people I know playing this game across all platforms, I don't know a single one who has played more than a dozen hours without seeing some glitch, issue, freeze, or lag. In fact, on these forums I'm willing to bet the person who claims they've played the game with no issues is either one of three things - not very far in the game, in total denial, or one of the luckiest bastards on the face of the planet. In fact, most journalistic sites have now posted separate articles acknowledging the glitches, but somehow stand by their ratings - which sounds incredibly contradictory to me. Maybe it's just me, but the logic here just doesn't add up. "

Is there anyone out there who's honestly playing this game without seeing any issues, at all? Really, I'd like to hear about that incredible luck, because it'll be the first I've heard it if someone is actually being honest about it. And I'm clearly not just talking about PS3 here.

@Linkale - yeah, come back and say that again when you're at 1 FPS and trying to fight off three bandits and a dragon. I'm sure you'll be all candy and roses about it.

@gomer - Too bad the autosave function breaks the game too, or we wouldn't have to remember that.

@Oakshin - this is precisely my point. While the issues may differ, there are major problems on all platforms. It makes me wonder how these "judges" and "reviewers" get their jobs and keep them when they totally ignore such blatant fact.

Edit: @The Nobodies - Metacritic scores are often skewed by the users, but this is precisely the point of the topic. How does Skyrim get such high ratings with reviewers and metacritic despite being plagued with bugs? Luckily IGN recognized that it's bad enough on PS3 to not be included, however it is on the PC and XBox lists, indicating that the lag is their only real concern, and not the MQ breaking bugs, textures issues, broken stat calculations, numerous and frequent crashes, or any other number of issues I could name. Skewed a bit? I think so.

5.5 lol?

with that logic the nobodies the ps3 lag isnt a fact becuz i havnt experinced it...............

I have more respect for Eurovision than I do for IGN GOTY.

I think its appropriate the video doesn't even mention skyrim....not even in a negative light.

People are very upset. I'd guess these people are not a minority as bethesda would have you believe.

Skyrim on PS3 Just went up on Metacritic.

UC2 96 out of 100
UC3 92 out of 100
Skyrim xbox 96 out of 100
Skyrim PC 95 out of 100
Skyrim PS3 93 out of 100

All of those are the combined critic scores, You know the score that matters. THE score that is so important that on Steam they even use those scores.

The LAG is shameful. Truly sickening.

Like I said, those critics reviewed the game on RELEASE DATE.
It's literally impossible that they could've found those bugs.

IGN already reported on just how bad it is.

By the way, it says those critic reviews are based on 91 critics.
OVER 127 have reviewed Uncharted 3, most of those being 10/10 scores.

Like I said, Uncharted 3 had the most perfect scores of any video game in the last decade.

*Also*, Skyrim is based of 13 critics, Uncharted was based of 91.

Cheat Code Central (Skyrim) : 90/100
Cheat Code Central (Uncharted 3) : 98/10

IGN (Skyrim) 95/100
IGN (Uncharted 3) 100/100

PSFocus (Skyrim) : 97/100
PSFocus (Uncharted 3) : 98/100

PlayStation Official Magazine UK (Skyrim) : 70/100
Playstaion Official Magazine UK/US (Uncharted 3) : 100/100 on both

What idiocy. As if a finished game is something measurable.

Oh the apologists.

This year we had Modern Copypastefare 3, Battlefrustration 3, The Elder Scrolls: Lagrim, and the only game with Deception in it's name was the only game that didn't disappoint at all.

LOL you wanna look for more misleading scores to post?

The only score that matters has all versions of Skyrim above UC3, I don't care what IGN thinks or any other single reviewer thinks. What matters is what all of the critics collectively thinks. That is what Metacritic is used for, you had to have known that when you ignored the real scores in your post.

So true, tell me anyone what is the metric for a finished game? What exactly is the "Finished Game" Value? How do we all agree on what comprises a "Finished Game?"

IMO Skyrim is in every way a finished game, yes it has bugs but someone name ANY software product that didn't release with some bugs.

Are you being serious? Skyrim was released on multiple paltforms which means MANY different type of review magazines etc (xbox, pc , ps3 exclusive). That means that SKYRIM has the more reviewers. Common sense.

That's only true if the customer had prior knowledge of it being "unfinished" at time of purchase.

From what I've read, this is not the case for most.

The level of heat and hostility in this thread is concerning me. Please play nice, guys - or the thread gets a lock.

Uncharted 3 doesn't have bugs.

Skyrim is one of the best games of all time....I love it.

But I'm not blind enough to say that Skyrim on PLAYSTATION 3 is worthy of GotY. I've heard too many ppl that have problems with it on the PS3. Of course there are those that don't have any problems with it on PS3, but it's a big enough problem that a lot of sites have given it their full attention with articles and such.

So until it's fixed for PS3, I would have to agree with it not being nominated for GotY for PLAYSTATION 3.

It also isn't a huge open world game. I don't think skyrim deserves to win PS3 either though none the less.

But not ALL REVIEWS ARE NO METACRITIC.

Do you understand that?
Skyrim has 13 reviews on MetaCritic. Over 100 Magazines/Sites review it!!!

You can't base all of it on Metacritic, as its completely unreliable.

And look at this. PlayStation UK updated their review from AFTER they played it for a while.


PlayStation UK (Skyrim) 70/100
PlayStation UK (Uncharted 3) 100/100

They must've realized how buggy Skyrim is...

Catherine has no bugs. Catherine doesn't LAG like a POS

Skyrim is a finished game? Yes, Skyrim is finished, I completely agree! Betatesda isn't too greedy to throw money at IGN when it comes to resetting user reviews/scores and making sure that a follow up story isn't finished. However, they won't do the right thing and pay a third-party developer to come in and fix their engine. If I had a billion plus in assets, I'd pay a third-party $10,000 or whatever it takes to fix the problem. What's wrong, Betatestas, did ego get in your way?

Skyrim is a joke period.

Lol Mad7776. Completely agree.

No other game has crippling LAG like that on PS3.

It's listed as a nominee... I'm not sure what you meant.
