@DatNJDom81 The PS3 port of Oblivion was outsourced to 4J Studios, who apparently were better at coding for Sony's platform than Bethesda themselves.

Once my Skyrim save file hit double digits, the game became unplayable. Seriously, I was getting 6-8 frames per second within 15 minutes of booting the game up. It's BROKEN and should never have been released in this state.

A patch may or may not fix the lag problem, but given Bethesda's poor support...

Well that didn't take long...

But what's your savefile size? How many hours in are you?

I started getting frame drops around 6mb (25 hours), now at 9mb and the game becomes barely playable after 1-2 hours.

I've turned off PS3 background processes and disabled autosaving, but the improvements were only temporary. Game runs alright for the first hour, but things get really choppy after that.

I haven't experienced the "things are so bad you can no longer int...

Looks like Bethesda actually did a great job on every platform.

Exactly. The fact is, Pete has been wrong before and contradicted himself on several occasions. He's a PR guy, not a developer, and since it's his job to market the game, taking his assurances seriously is a bit hard at this point.

Let's just hope that this will get patched if the problem persists.

Agreed. The fact that Black Ops sold a bazillion copies probably doesn't hurt its chances either.

Good thing I read that disclaimer. I was about to attempt jet surfing in real life.

Ah, who am I kidding? I never listen to those things anyway... *jumps atop fuselage as jet takes off*

They're ancient machines created by the dwemer, the extinct dwarven race (actually bearded elves) of Tamriel.

This story is false.

There is no low-res mode for the textures. The original source for the story actually reported a glitch in which textures sometimes fail to load completely, resulting lower-res textures *when the game is installed*. NOT when playing off the disk.

The author of this story has it backwards and is repeating a false report.

Just reading about the guide gets me excited :)

Soldier walking towards camera with light background vs soldier walking towards camera with dark background!

It's the ultimate matchup between the most original, bold and trend-breaking pieces of box art ever!

More like people who don't play COD and probably never cared for it in the first place are rating down a game they haven't played because they have nothing better to do than troll metacritic.

Did you read the part about fixing issues? Fascinating stuff.

I'll have to sit down and analyze it all later on when I have time to read through the extensive list of meticulously described updates. Too much for me to process right now.

More Deus Ex is totally fine with me.

According to rockstar, It was the facial animation data that drove up the file size for LA Noire, not the world itself. If GTAV uses traditional capture tech, there's no reason to expect the game will take up as much space.

We all knew this was coming.

I find it more disturbing that 2 of the top 10 most anticipated games are girlfriend simulators...

No way. Rockstar wouldn't release this so close to Max Payne 3.

Exactly. Human Revolution gives me some faith that they won't mess up Thief. Keep the open-ended levels (with plenty of crawlspaces), non-lethal takedowns & excellent AI, and this will be one of my most anticipated titles for next year.

Yes, looks like jets are in :)

This game space is going to be huge!
