Great times.

Skyrim managed to make fighting dragons boring. I didn't think that was possible.

Really? Look at *shudder* Lair.

I try to forget that Lair exists. :P

Shh! It actually works on a PS3.

In the same way a ticking time bomb works. Until it explodes.



I guess that explains why my copy is working.

Give it time. It won't.

[QUOTE="eboyishere"]Abansado will never let us forget this awardeboyishere

he was banned but he resurrected and banned again. i wonder what his alt account is now. rofl.

Give it an hour... He needs ro soak it in first Then the skyrim spam will begin.....again

I don't see that happening, hopefully by this point Staff works fast enough to stop a potential moron before the flood.

Maybe GS should use IP bans? Just saying, I don't need to hear a guy tell me why a game that's also on PS3, is the reason Xbox is teh awesome.

Bombs are supposed to explode, Shadow. Skyrim is not supposed to break itself. Fail analogy.

Ok, it works in the same way an original Xbox 360 works. Until the inevitable happens.

Gears 3 not even nominated. Pathetic.

For what, exactly? Being more Gears?

For Graphics.

Other than that though, nothing.

Not talking about GOTY or any other category, just graphics.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"] that makes even less sense...mems_1224

Do guns have unlimited ammo? His sword is obviously not normal. So what I said makes more sense.

because its a sword.....it cant cut through human tissue but it has a "special ability" to lifts thousands of pounds worth of machine and cut it?? do you even realize how stupid that sounds? i get its a game but cmon now. its dumb

Well yeah, I was thinking about it as a game though, seeing as it's a game which clearly doesn't take itself seriously or root itself into reality. Games are for fun, not to make sense.

:lol: Skyrim

Gues the gaming industry has a long way to go. I can only imagine what future generations say when they see the game that got elected for GOTY in 2011. They're probably going to be like "oh... they were still learning to make games" "oh... i wonder why it took so many years for them to develop a game that has proper physics" "at least they knew how to record damage" :lol:

But, on the contrary, fighting dragons in Skyrim isn't boring in the slightest. I've heard a lot about how fun it is to fight dragons in Skyrim (and I've played it on my friend's PC, and it was fun fighting a dragon).

Also, Lair invented boring dragon fights :P

Who knows. Maybe Bethesda got tired of developing for the PS3 and said "fuc* it" and had a little fun.

.
I was disappointed... I was really happy when I heard it was Generals 2, but when I saw the trailer... the cool thing about generals is that it was about modern warfare, it was realistic... and one of the few things we saw in the trailer was a futuristic helicopter. That's bad.

What if the patch to fix it comes out before his copy "breaks"?

Oh, and by the way, there's already a fix that works most of the time. The problem is more or less fixed for a lot of people.

Diablo III > Last of Us > Everything else

Opinions are opinions, Last of Us > Diablo III > Everything else.

Why is this my opinion? Well soley due to the fact we knew NOTHING about The Last of Us, and I knew that D3 was going to be awesome. It was cool, but it wasn't an announcement or anything.

That made me sad actually, BF3 is my most played game this year so far, and it's well deserved. Yes the Single Player was generic and easily forgettable, but the Multiplayer (what it was created for) is a blast, and very much exceeding my expectations.

That's not it, Bethesda said that they fixed that sort of issue a long time ago. That was said by a New Vegas developer, not a Skyrim developer.

What is it?

There are a few methods, one is deleting a file named "corrupted data" in your Game Data folder, another is clearing some HDD space, disabling autosave helps lower the freezing and framerate hitches, and a lot of the times restarting your PS3 seemed to work for people when they got the "framerate crash".

theuncharted34

Game has 1) tons of content 2) is fun to play 3) interesting world 4) great graphics considering the scope of the game 5) huge improvements in animation 6) lots of refinements to its sequel 7) dragons 8) different stats and features 9) has loads of content, and 10) has glitches that are very funny and entertaining. Sounds like GOTY material to me ;).

Yes, just what this thread needs another Dark Souls vs Skyrim debate.

What is there to debate? Skyrim won VGA GOTY, and Dark Souls wasn't even nominated for it. Skyrim >> Dark Souls :P
