It's not about can I afford a decent desktop. I choose not to buy one. I'm a X box fan and have been since day one. I've played my fair share of games on both the computer and console. I choose the console. As far as modding, who cares. Why use cheats and modding. You take away from the game by using mods. You change the rules of the game to your benefit and quite frankly it's sad. Just look at all the crap going on with Modern Warfare and Black Ops. Mods, Mods and more Mods. The online play of those games is unfair because people like you choose to change the game to your favor so you can be number 1 in deaths, or number 1 in whatever. Give me a break. You can take your Mod and go fly a kite. Mod's are for people who just have to be number 1 in the gaming community. Sad, very sad indeed.

That's not butt-hurt love, that's common-sense

I don't care what you think about consoles or its players, but to make that broad, unsubstantial claim is just amazing.

Well, Skyrim was designed for the XBox first, then ported to PCs and PS3 poorly. There's nothing wrong with what was said.
XBox gamers taking it as it's their fault, is their own problem. Bethesda aimed for the bigger piece of the pie, which happens to be consoles.
Be happy. It's the strengths of PC's that are under-utilized by the game.

Uldred

well this topic worked out well. about as well as any topic could given the title, which essentially translates to "EXPLAIN YOURSELF DUMB PEOPLE!!!"

I'm a PS3 user, and some of the severe flaws I find in Skyrim makes me consider PC gaming. Too bad I have no money, compooters confuse me, and I have no idea how to play games with a mouse and keyboard.

but this is hardly a matter of hardware.

PCs are expensive, period.

Problem with you and many others who got so upset over one guy`s comment on a game`s forum is that I explained in detail why I thought what I did while nobody gave me even the slightest reason why I was wrong. I was well willing to change my mind if people had sensibly discussed why i was wrong.

All you did was insult.

In the end a Moderater had to close the thread because of it.

This. Plus, I highly doubt my Macbook Pro could run it if it struggles with Oblivion on max settings.

Plus a tv? Even people below the poverty line already own a tv, even an hd tv. You can buy an hd tv at Wal-mart for $100

...because i can't afford a ninja gaming PC, and i'm not interested in getting one, since i have a PS3 that works perfectly fine, and i'd rather just have fun playing the game than spending all of my time tweaking the graphics settings or installing mods.

Steamworks is Draconian and stupid in design. Not to mention that Consoles don't force you to update patches unlike the PC version and it's much cheaper to use consoles and less of a pain if you aren't a computer genius.

Steam is perfectly fine, it's really useful. Also consoles do force updates. If you decline you get signed off the online service.

While this topic is pretty ridiculous anyway, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest what platform you play on, you clearly have no idea what you're talking about when it comes to mods.

but online services are not required to play

that's a bit harsh to imply removing something that's been so integral to the community for the majority of the series' success. though i agree with the whole keeping with the "original design", i wouldn't want to remove the option to modify content simply because of some philosophical reasoning about altering the author's original design. that decision should be left to the community, at least in my opinion.

I dont have a gaming PC, I have an Acer Laptop, Runs perfect for me lol

Skyrim is one of those games where I get to relax and play at the same time. I enjoy chilling in my bed across the room and laying down while killing people. You can't do that on a PC.
