Why did you even bother making the game for the PS3 Bethesda?

LegatoSkyheart

Money.

They should have let 4J Studios do the PS3 port.

My PS3 copy is arriving tomorrow. After reading everything, I'm pretty worried. Do you guys really think it won't be fixed in a future patch? And how bad is it, really? I don't actually see that many PS3 owners complaining, rather than self-righteous PC gamers.BlackoutGunshot

I had to take it back and get it on 360 but that was pre-patch

For me before the patch it was nearly unplayable once my save got to a certain size; particularly if i went in a town, it literaly looked like a slides show. After the patch tho, i notice occasional fps drops but nothing game breaking, it play just fine for the most part. I've had a few crashes since the patch tho, which i didn't before.

Sounds like how F: New Vegas was after all the patches.

It is a far weaker than 360 system, since all big games run better on 360, it is not just Skyrim, but also Crytek with Crysis 1-2 etc that look better on 360

You obviously have zero understanding of the issues causing this problem. Learn them or get out, troll.

I was excited to get this game for PC, but I am so glad I haven't yet. Maybe after a few patches and a price drop or two, then I will pick it up.

The weak PS3 hardware and its bad design is the problem, i read it

Same for Crysis 1-2, RDR etc that look and run far better on 360

Indeed, I may have modded the hell out of my Obliviion on PC but I enjoyed it more on the PS3 than the PC or X360.

Has nothing to do with weakness. It's Bethesda not fixing a design problem they've had for years now. Having these issues are reasonable if this was the first game in which their save game method didn't mesh well with the PS3's design, but its the 4th game thats has this issue. Its ridiculous that they haven't fixed it at this point.

Yes and BF3, Castlevania and LA Noire. OOPS those all look better on PS3. Not to mention no game on 360 comes close to the visuals of U2, U3, KZ2, KZ3 and GoW3. But I guess that's just cause devs doesn't know how to develop for the 360 :?

I have Skyrim on PC , and if it wasnt for mods the PC version of skyrim would pretty much be bad too. Bethesda needs to stop relying on mods to fix there problems as the 2/3rds of the platforms skyrim is on dont have acess to mods.... well PS3 could if they wanted too.

Why downgrade the game for PS3 ? When PC and 360 can run it fine, makes no sense to downgrade just to accomodate the split ram and bad PS3 hardware design, would not be fair to those that bought the superior 360 for its power and the best lookign versions of Skyrim, Crysis 1-2, RDR etc

I've just started really devoting myself to it (360 version) and I'm wondering if the magic resistance bug has been fixed. I can take down dragons, ruin the most hardy bandits but whenever I see a guy in a dress or something with glowing hands I lose my %*&$ and run the other way. Great game though and other than that I've had no problems at all.

Bu bu bu but the blu-ray has tons of memory! Oh wait, that media has no barring on actual gameplay memory. Start to believe it does when you spend a lot of time here in SW and Cows say it over and over.

Yes and BF3, Castlevania and LA Noire. OOPS those all look better on PS3. Not to mention no game on 360 comes close to the visuals of U2, U3, KZ2, KZ3 and GoW3. But I guess that's just cause devs doesn't know how to develop for the 360 :?

GeoW3 and Crysis2 look better than all of those so stop trolling little boy.

Crysis 2 not a chance. Gears 3 maybe looks better than the multiplats I listed. It's a close call.

Reading most of your posts I would say It's obvious that your a underage kid who's probably posting on an alt account that's obsessed with anything PS3 and doesn't know what he's talking about.

Off Topic Question: How is Fallout 3 on PS3? does it have the same problems as NV and Skyrim? i've been wanting to get it since a long time due to the apocalyptic setting and now is super cheap but if it has the same problem, then i'm going to have to pass on it.

They simply rushed the ps3 version at the end to try and get the game out on that date.

Sounds more like its impossible for the PS3 to play this game. Its ram doesn't meet the minimum specs. Bad form Bethesda (twirls Captain Hook mustache).

It seems the PS3 is not well suited for an open world game like this with the level of detail Skyrim has, or they just found it too hard to make it work as well as it should. If either case is true, there shouldn't have been a PS3 version TBH.

No, 4.5 million people pirated the game and about 1.5 million people bought it legally. Although my post was just a joke about us hermits and piracy xD

bummer that they applied that crappy area reset in the 360 version too.

there was no problems in my game and i liked that i had kicked all the jarls food into the floor and that there were dragon skellys laying around on main street in the cities.

the story is from forever ago but there is a week old comment from a guy griping about the game not working.

...which is why I wont be purchasing Skyrim at all. I loved Fallout 3 (had a few issues with the game) and New Vegas (didnt have any issues with the game), but Bethesda wont be screwing me with a $60 purchase of a PS3 Skyrim purchase.
