Skyrim PS3 fix would require 'large time commitment'

Fuck it man.... I was gearing up to play this game, but if it's not going to be playable I'm not going there.  If Bethesda couldn't develop it to work properly on the PS3 they shouldn't have done it at all. If a class action suit gets filed against these dumbasses I can't say I'll feel sorry for them.



Wow. So our version is fucked then. So their thought process for the PS3 version is " does it run?" " well sir there maybe game breaking lag caused by the save file." "but it runs right, good , sell it"

I would like to see just one notable website take Bethesda to town for this. Hell IGN writes a bullshit editorial every day just to stir up people and get comments. Here's a chance to actually write something with some meaning behind it.

Since I'm in a bitchy mood today, let's talk about the Vita memory cards. If you haven't heard Sony decided to go with another propriotary memory card instead of a standard SD card. There is no internal memory storage on the Vita so you have to buy one. The cheapest is a 4 GB card that runs for $30.The most expensive is a 32 GB card that will sell for $120. Given that Sony seems to be encouraging digital download it's not unreasonable to think that some of these cards will fill up fast.

Go to hell Sony.... and Bethesda too.

"As you can see on the 65 hour side, the effect is impossible to miss and given its severity, the outcry that has followed on forums is very much justified. These prolonged bouts of stuttering render the game almost completely unplayable, even during non-intensive walks down pathways, with some freezes lasting long enough to drag the frame-rate down to zero in places - the first time we've seen this in years of performance analysis here at Digital Foundry."

God bless Don Frye. He's the man that keeps America great.

And sorry about the cat GG.  He's definitely lived a long life (and probably a good one), but it still doesn't make it any easier.

Thanks everyone.

If I go dark after thursday, you'll know why.

Sorry to hear about the cat man....like George Carlin said, having a pet is like waiting for a small tragedy. My dog died on Thanksgiving when I was like 10 years old, that was the worst pet related death for me. It was a very sudden, out of nowhere kind of death too. Took me a long time to feel better about it.

That graphics engine Square uses for the PS3 Final Fantasy games is fucking sweet. Its just a shame only FF uses it.

Now, is Versus 13 still in development? That game looked like the most interesting FF related project they had going. Or did they scrap it to do this spinoff?

Facing the loss of a family pet, especially one you've had for 19 years, is a hard thing. I'm sorry it has to be this time of year again too, GG. You have my sincere condolences.

I am thinking of switching versions at some point. I will probably play the PS3 until I finish the main story then sell it. Later get the GOTY version of 360 to try it out with a different character. Sounds good. Unless I find the PS3 version to be ok but its already studdering on me.

I tried some Mario Kart, not sure why I got it, eh its something to play I guess. The tracks are really cool, I will give them that. I may sell this in a few weeks.

So Leo, anyone else want to play today. I am pretty free, just let me know when.
