Skyrim

DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU! I DON'T WANT TO BUY THIS AGAIN!!!!
Much like a priest at Harry Potter World, or Bill Cosby in the coma ward of a hospital, YOU CANT RESIST!

Don't you have this on PC? It doesnt look as good as the modded up version
 
Realized I have the game and all DLC so I get it for free on PC. Only played it for 15 hours and rage quit because I didn't like it at all. Maybe I'll give it another whirl someday.
 
The remaster is absolutely gorgeous. As someone who put a huge amount of time into this game on last gen consoles, this feels like a massive upgrade. Looks so much better than Fallout 4 does on console.
 
Tempted as I only finished maybe half of Skyrim. With the mods it would make it more enjoyable, but then again, I already played half the game.
 
$60 seems like robbery.

Especially when it's $40 on PC for some reason.. or free in my case. Or $10-12 if you simply bought old Skyrim and took advantage of the free update. It would be nice if they did something similar for those that have 360/PS3 digital version.
 
To each their own, For me, $60 is nothing to be able to play one of my favorite games of the last decade in a way that rivals visuals and performance of how I initially played it in every way. Can't wait for the PS4 Pro so I can see even more of an upgrade.
 
So what mods are out worth trying on consoles? Someone said FO4 had like 7000 mods on Xbox one already, I think I saw they've doubled since release for skyrim.

I can respect that. It's just think it's weird that it's $20 more on consoles for no good reason.

I made the same complaint with Overwatch as well... it's like there is a console tax or something.

Dat Console Master Race.

Who's the peasants now? ;)

Yup.

And tax is there because console gamers are willing to pay it. That's why console games traditionally sell for the same amount (usually $60 US for the past few generations).

Using Canadian prices are a bit weird as prices can fluctuate due to currency exchange, but to give you idea of gaming prices just to prove the console side takes bigger bites of profit margin.

Early 90s
- Awful currency exchange. About $0.67 on the dollar vs the US. Genesis/SNES games were about $80 CDN
- Console games on cartridges which cost a lot.... I remember reading it could be $10-15 for the chip

3 years ago
- Currency on par 1:1. Console games $60 like the US
- Console games on discs which are probably no more than 50 cents. Digital game sales taking off which makes it even cheaper as there's no physical packaging and MS, Sony and the game maker cut out EB Games and Best Buy

Today
- Awful currency exchange again. About $0.75 on the dollar vs the US. X1/PS4 games are $80 again
- Digital sales taking off even more. Still selling games for $80 like a brick and mortar store

All the while the entire time, PC games are typically cheaper.... (although at launch, a game can be the same price of a console game), but even if it's the same price at the start, PC game prices fall fast. Then there's Steam deals down the line, and all kinds of indie bundles you never see on consoles.

Like it or not, many devs treat the console crowd as the profit makers.... high prices, slower price drops, and over the past 5-10 years many PC-centric devs now focus on console first and then release a PC port later. They see the $$$, so they want to lock in as much $60 copies on Xbox and PS4 before selling it for $40 on PC.... which will turn into a $20-30 Steam deal 6 months later.
 
Anyone wondering what Mods to pick up- I found this vid. Looks like some great suggestions.



That music makes me want to pick up the game all by its self :(

For anyone who's done lots of mods on X1, do these downloads bog down the load times or frame rate? It seems many improve the visuals or textures and I'm wondering if it affect it. The game seems locked at 30, so there isn't a lot of room to move until it becomes stuttery.

Is there any kind of "magic number" where if you download certain mods or number of mods, it makes the game unstable or stuttery because you've tried to change the game too much?

Man, I'm tempted to get Skyrim Remastered. Download the mods and play it again like it's a fresh game, since I probably got through half the game on 360.

Some of the mods ES and Fallout games get which seem to make the game instantly more enjoyable.... things like getting rid of weight limits, and a Skyrim mod is supposed to get rid of needing to farm souls to keep your magic weapons alive.

Video makes me wish I could mod her. :hehe:
Same. She deserves to be punished.

Look how filthy that room is. If you're going to make a YouTube video, you could at least pick up the s*** you've left all over the floor. Makes me feel sick.

May I be the 1st to give her a proper spanked bottom? :hehe::hehe::hehe:
 
I want to play this again, but I'm not paying full game price.

Needs to be at least half that for me to even consider it.

For real. If it was $30 i would have already sold my soul to play Skyrim again. The game is an investment of time. Definitely worth every penny of the $60 but i have other stuff to play already. $30 would have made me say the hell with it.
 
I don't think those mods are portable up consoles. But they look awesome
Those ones are PC only.

I love the hippy one that places more trees in towns too.

I've been looking for a good mod that lets you manage music playlists in game, without resorting to the ol' alt+tab.
 
I said I'd never buy a remaster, but I did. Got Skyrim on deal for $30 for X1!

For those of you doing mods, any you recommend? Checking old mods, I have to look for the name of them, but I'm going to look for these:

- Unlimited weight carrying capacity
- No more needing to farm souls to keep magic items in effect
- That mod that starts you out as a nomad on a raft

There are so many mods for additional content and gritty visuals.

If any of you know any good gritty mods to add (none of that Macho Man dragon stuff), or any kind of mod that makes the game "less grindy" like the above ones I'm going to look for, please tell.

Cheers. I'm going to start it up on the weekend.

Got in on the Amazon deal for Skyrim Remastered for PS4 @ $24.99 shipped. That was the price I was hoping for. All that is left is a great deal on Tomb Raider 20th. Let's see that makes about 10 games I have bought in the past week because of amazing deals. Nuts to have so much gaming in front of me, I think I am going to pass on the Xbox One S just because of no time to play. Maybe by Scorpio release I will be caught up.
