Keth Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 New patch seemed to have completely fixed the whole memory/framerate issue also. Been playing pretty regularly since then and haven't had a crash yet. New kill cams are cool too. Now to wait for DLC.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Benz, From someone who has it on both formats: If you've got a PC from the last couple of years, get it for that, if only for the mods. It has low system requirements. Steam workshop makes mods literally one click installs, and you can disable any you don't like before the game launches. I cannot stress how much mods can add to the game. From riding giant spiders, hundreds of new spells, new areas, races, graphics tweaks and entire new skill trees. Not to mention that some of them fix actual problems the game has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnotizinChikns Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I don't have it on PC only because I don't want my kid playing mods (his cousin enlightened him to the mod on team fortress two...i really wish he hadn't done that). I have it on xbox 360, but yeah, no mods and some pretty hilarious glitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 My kid is all about the mods. he doesn't play these games like I do though. He got a spell that makes a tiny follower version of whatever you hit it with, up to 8 of them. Then he went on a quest to create his ultimate gang of tiny followers so he could...I dunno, pose for screen caps or something. He has a lot of fun though.

Keth Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Man I wish consoles had mods. It would have been so awesome to have seen some kind of gameshark this gen. Edited April 13, 2012 by axel_napalm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I wholeheartedly agree. They shouldn't care how we fuck with single player games. I blame achievements/trophies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I dunno how much I'd use the other stuff, but the map functions, item sorting, and shouting at enemies looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keth Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Ugh! Why can't they use this kinda stuff with the PSmove/eye? I get that the tech is different, but it has a mic too, and witht he motion controls, man this game was made for the move. But noooooooooo, that ain't gonna happen. Gripe aside, that does look pretty sweet. I like the idea of telling my follower to stay rather than awkwardly stopping and telling them to stay. ps narrator, you gotta put feeling behind those shouts!

Maldron Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Hahahahahahahahaha, we're never getting that shit. It's gonna be Kinect Exclusive because Kinect makes it easy for devs to do this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the division of joy Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Well... That has crushed my hopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 The main problem comes from the fact that Kinect has voice recognition built into the software that the system uses to run Kinect enabled stuff, and the Playstation Eye is a microphone. These devs are tying game commands to the existing recognition software, but if they wanted to bring it to Playstation they'd have to program a comparable voice recognition program from scratch to work only in tandem with their game. Which I'd say is 99% not happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Is that what it is Mal? I don't know shit about this, really. I know Kinect is pretty good with voice commands, I figured there was some sort of software behind it. If that's not the case, then I would assume Microsoft just bankrolled the whole thing, and Bethesda be more than happy to add it elsewhere if they were payed to do it. The same reason the 360 is getting the DLC early : dumptrucks full of money that they're willing to throw around haphazardly. EDIT: I was responding to your earlier post. You answered the software question seconds before I posted this... Edited April 17, 2012 by Thelogan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maldron Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I did some research after tossing my mouth off, and it turns out that the voice recognition stuff isn't in the software, but rather the hardware's developer kit. Different set of facts, but the basics of it is that microsoft is still providing the tools to the developer to make their job a lot easier, and Sony isn't.

IceManML Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 (edited) Yea... Sony is the Atari of the future... Landfill crisis 2017 Still ironically most of my friends play ps3 over Xbox tho that platform has a broader library blabla.. But Bethesda and Sony don't seem to be meshing very well this game. If it becomes psmove compatible however, I'm definitely jumping on. Edited April 17, 2012 by IceManML Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelogan Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 DLC announcement possible next week. Also, Patch Files Point to Snow Elves, crossbows, more vampire animations. An industrious Skyrim fan has been rummaging around in the patch files for update 1.5.26, unearthing information associated with 'DLC01' that suggests the first batch of DLC for the epic RPG will feature Snow Elves, crossbows, new vampire feeding animations, a Snow Elf Prince and something with an 'RF' prefix. The fan posted his findings on the Bethesda Forums, leading to speculation that Skyrim's first DLC will be focusing on the Snow Elves and the Falmer. From here on out, there'll be spoilers, so read on at your peril if you haven't played or finished Skyrim. The Snow Elves are a lost race of mer (elf) who lived in Skyrim before the Nords, until they were driven underground to become slaves to the ancient dwarven Dwemer race. The Nords usurped the Snow Elves' dominion over Skyrim, sending them underground where they were forced to survive on fungi that turned the Snow Elves blind, commencing their devolution into the twisted Falmer, a race of hunched subterranean scavengers. You may also remember one of the Thieves Guild quests ending in a water-filled cavern dominated by a giant Snow Elf statue. Crossbows and vampire feeding animations are also thought to be part of the DLC, while 'RF' is rumoured to be the initials of a new companion character.

Keth Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 We'll get it like 3-6 months later I imagine. This happened with Fallout. If they can work out any bugs this might bring in that time, I say it's worth the wait. I'll just have to keep away from possible spoilers til then.
