Skyrim on PC

Platapus · 03-03-13, 07:29 AM

I am not a fan of Steam, as that company has fubared up to of my games. Good thing I had the world famous Steam customer service to fall back on ... not.

Unfortunately, more and more games are falling under the steam cartel

I boycott steam now, and that means that I can't play many of the newer games. Maybe if steam changes their business model, I might consider coming back.

I hope you don't have my experience with steam. It sucks to buy games, have the physical disks, all the keys, and you are unable to play games (that I paid for), due to an unacknowledged mistake on steam's part.

Steam hasn't been a problem with Syrim (or any other game i own, and i have 120 on my steam account).

As for playing skyrim on PC, i don't think there is any other way to play it. The graphics will be better, and the ability to use and create mods is priceless.

As skyrim goes, once you go PC, you'll never go back to console. I'm pretty sure of that.

Same here. Have used Steam since HL2 was released (2004) and got 143 games.
Only ever have encountered small problems, like "Game is unavailable" during
some big game release that hammered the Steam servers, but nothing bigger.

Goes for me as well. Never had a problem. In fact, I like Steam very much.

Well it seems I should be buying it then

Eventually I am probably going to purchase it then. What kind of FPS are you guys getting with what rig?

Maybe, just maybe U-play is up your alley then

I hear you loud and clearly. I'm boycotting them, too, I only made an exception for Skyrim - the only one. I probably will do again for any future Bethesda open world RPG. But for nothing else.
