I am pretty sure they have shipped with hi-res textures on PC because it is 6 GB on PC compared to only 3.8 GB on consoles.[deleted]

There is no damn way it's 3.8GB on consoles. That's simply way too small for a game this size. That screen was either a fake or had certain elements installed to make loading faster, such as textures for texture streaming.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]I skimmed through it just to look a the visuals. It's not a breath-taking game, or this guy was playing it on low settings or something. Oh well, going to be awesome nonetheless. Can't wait.ChubbyGuy40

It's the 360 version :lol: Of course it's on low

Then again...they did say Skyrim will look the same across all platforms. I'm terrified how horrible those textures are gonna be on PC if they don't include their own high-res textures.

Yeah, just noticed the LT, RT trigger buttons. I was still watching it. I didn't get to that part yet because I skimmed it. I don't want too many spoilers. Still, I don't expect the PC version to be that much better judging by Bethesda's past games. Still, I don't care. :P

If that's indicative of the rest of the game (which it might not be but who knows) then I wouldn't be surprised if this got an 8 or an 8.5, really unimpressive start.

The Elder Scrolls games suck. Don't see why anyone would like an open world RPG with class customization and the freedom to do anything you want.LightLink66

[QUOTE="Inconsistancy"]

[QUOTE="Stringerboy"]

If you go over to the Bethesada forums you will find that multiple people have played the game at conventions. They said that the combat felt heavier and attacks had more impact.

Stringerboy

Most of those people are Bethesda fans, and they'll give it a pass, and I'd not be surprised if they were the same type of people who didn't like, or are afraid of games like Bayonetta. RPG's have so little focus on making the gameplay actually great, it makes me sad. (Standard anti-flame statement: I don't mean over-the-top, I mean fluid, fun, diverse, responsive, quick...)

Not true. Dark Souls/Demons souls has some of the most satisfying gameplay in any RPG. And it relys much more on dodging attacks, waiting for the right time to attack than typcial stat based gameplay.

And that's another game that doesn't look fun for me, funny thing about opinions.

I guess more voice actors this time meant, "cheaper for hire" actors. :P But still better than Oblivion. They just threw in Patrick Stewart and thought we'd forget about the rest of the game or something? blah.

For me a game is all about having fun and this looks like a lot of fun to me so I could care less about bad voice acting and animations. The game is sucha huge game with so much content put into it that I can certainly overlook short comings. There is nothing perfect in the realm of gaming...but if you aim for perfection you can at least obtain a superb quality. :)

They nailed the atmosphere and art direction but I was hoping for a bigger leap, I'm not sure I can put another 100 hours into a game like this. I did it with Oblivion and F3, but I'm kind of burnt out. Maybe next generation with the Elder Scrolls reboot I'll be interested again.

It's hard to tell much about a game by the first 30 minutes, like many other games, this looks like it is trying draw in as much of the casual action fans as possible before they get bored and quit.

It's not 3.8 gigs on the consoles..some are saying this because they think when they're install a game on the 360 they think they're installing the entire game.

Usually you do install the whole thing though. Has it been confirmed that its bigger than 3.8 because thats the best we've got to go on.

Voice acting was passable. The UI looks bad. The animations are as clunky and stiff as ever. Nothing really in those videos that made me more interested than I already am (not at all). I'm sure fans will enjoy it though, doesn't look too different from Oblivion.

I'm really glad that the gaming community in genearl is not like SW here and can actually ENJOY the game rather than look at every single detail and make it sound worse than what it actually is. And with that I leave SW to go and await this game and await the reviews.

Cheers! :D

Some of us have standards. 60 dollars plus the fact that this game has to live up to every other RPG before it... The work is cut out for them quite well, and if they don't make the cut...

what about the PC specs? it's an 6 gig install and so far we haven't heard a thing about these "HD textures" some are talking about

Yikes, it looks to have a few buggy issues much like Oblivion did, though most review sites chose to look those issues over. The UI on the other hand has me incredible worried...:|
