You know. I really hope rock star does something a bit more fun with GT. That being said after playing the second one and realizing that it gets a bit old doing the same thing I can't bring myself to play anymore of the franchise.

Not in any form am I saying its a bad game, just that for me something is missing.

It's been in every Elder Scrolls game since Morrowind, how have you not noticed?

Yea, sadly steam has severely spoiled me when it comes to prices of games. It's so hard for me to buy a game when I know in just a few months it will be at least %25-%50 off.

Amazon sometimes charges less for their digital copies than Steam, and they purchase them from Steam so its a win win in that regard. Sadly it looks like they don't have any Skyrim digital copies. Keep an eye out but you may need to amend your $45 stance to $49 though.

Good God man no...don't stand firm. Buy! Buy! Buy!.

Since your a chargers fan? I'm going to help you out.
Here are some suggestions.

1. if you have a girlfriend ask her to buy it for you.

2. You can also trade in some games to game spot if you have some as well.

3. I understand your hesitations with the $60 so if steam offers it cheaper then go for it.

There are not many games I would pay full price for either, but Elderscrolls is one of them. So is witcher. Certain games you know you're going to get a robust experience for them.

BF3 I would not, Madden, COD I would not pay $60 for.

I hear Skyrim has over 300 hours of play. I recall playing morrowind for 6months. I didn't even finish the game I just went around the map finding every nook and cranny to get loot from. Had to kill people but that was before i joined a faction that built me a house. house was full of all the loot i could find.

Hopefully they have a housing system in the game as well. Also I would like to find someone who is playing as well so we can swap locations and what not.

Bethesda said in an interview talking about multiplayer, that multiplayer IS possible with the new engine, they just decided not to add the feature in the game as it would take away from the single-player experience. I don't blame them, but it *would* be awesome to finally get that multiplayer mod for a bethesda games. Wait a couple months. I'm sure the community will come up with something :)
