WRUP: You know, other than Skyrim

by Alexander Sliwinski on Nov 11th 2011 9:45PM

Listen, if you didn't pick up Skyrim, it's okay. You could spend your time watching mini-musicals about it, or videos, or re-reading our +5 review of enamorment.

What's everyone else playing?

Alexander Sliwinski (@XanderSliwinski): Skyrim. Maybe some Battlefield 3. Waiting to pounce and stab Assassin's Creed: Revelations next week.
Arthur Gies (@Aegies): I want to play so much Skyrim, but I'll probably be spending some more time with Assassin's Creed: Revelations for the review, and I want to get through Halo Anniversary as well. And Skyrim. Skyrim.
Ben Gilbert (@BigBossBgilbert): If I don't swing by the office and grab Modern Warfare 3, I have no choice but to jump into the wiles of Rage. It's also highly likely I'll keep spending time with Battlefield 3 multiplayer, because it's my boo.
Christopher Grant (@ChrisGrant): The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Skyrim, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Halo Anniversary, Rayman Origins, Modern Warfare 3, Lord of the Rings: War in the North, and others. In no particular order.
David Hinkle (@DaveHinkle): I still need to finish Deus Ex and Batman, but I just got in the Ico Collection, the MGS HD Collection, Halo Anniversary and, of course, Skyrim. I will probably burn all of those other games in cleansing fire and focus my full attention on Skyrim. Fingers crossed I don't burn down my apartment!
Griffin McElroy (@griffinmcelroy): [Learning what a Po' Boy is.]
JC Fletcher (@jcfletcher): I find myself free of review games this weekend, so I plan to hunt for the limited edition of Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. And then I'll probably spend the whole weekend filling up my Star Medal collection in Super Mario 3D Land. Whoops!
Jess Conditt (@JessConditt): [MEDIC!]
Jordan Mallory (@Jordan_Mallory): King of Fighters XIII landed at arcadeUFO, so I'll be spending the weekend with that ahead of the console release in a couple weeks.
Justin McElroy (@JustinMcElroy): Skyrim's that old ish. I'm on that Assassin's Creed: Revelations tip.
Ludwig Kietzmann (@LudwigK): I just got Skyrim and Modern Warfare 3 in, but I'm awfully tempted just to start New Game+ on Batman: Arkham City. Bad idea ... or best idea?
Mike Schramm (@MikeSchramm): I have never prestiged in a Modern Warfare game before, but somehow I've got it in my head that I'll do it in Modern Warfare 3. Hopefully Call of Duty Elite will be up soon and I can start filling my head with that winning knowledge.
Richard Mitchell (@SenseiRAM): As much as I'd like to pick up a copy of Skyrim or dig into Modern Warfare 3, I'm stuck playing Halo Anniversary. It's a rough life.
Steven Wong: I'll be exploring Skyrim this weekend. Maybe if I get tired of wide open spaces, I'll mix things up with Orcs Must Die! - Lost Adventures.

Not Skyrim. I finished Cave Story 3D and just picked up MGS HD collection today. I'll probably be playing that, Uncharted 3, Kirby's Return to Dreamland and Disgaea 4.

@The Great Cornholio
Gah! Forgot about Mario Land 3D. That will be on my list too, as well as Skyward Sword and Saints Row 3 next week.

Mw3 and waiting for Sunday to pick up Mario 3d land

Not Skyrim either, that'll come when modders, in Oblivion fashion, fix up the game for PC. I'll be playing Metal Gear Solid HD Collection (beating MGS2 and then 3) and then hopefully I can beat Dark Souls before Skyward Sword comes out.

@NukaCola

I hope the UI get's some love, It's total garbage on the PC.
Little to no effort put into that part of the port whatsoever.

@Draugdraugr

What's so bad about the UI? I'm playing it on PC and loving it. Interface is so much easier to use than Oblivion, or for that matter, most RPGs. The only tripping point I've seen is the level up menu, which I've had to switch to mouse pointing for instead of keyboard wasd-e-tab. Not that you spend much time on it anyway.

@myr

I don't mean to imply it's not useable, but it could certainly use some work. You provided a great example yourself of it's shortcoming. The 'mouse support' on the UI is just painful to experience. Pressing TAB to back out of something? was escape' to intuitive?
Mouse acceleration being forced on is also silly. fixable via ini files, but it shouldn't be forced on.
I'm not saying this is the worst example of this to exist, but this is pretty bad.

This game is a total blast though, aside from the UI it's definitely one of the highlights of the year.

UI is SO dope on 360, at least.

@Shadowbender

Yeah, and on PC it works fine with a gamepad hooked up, but it should work with either/or.

@Draugdraugr

no edit ftw.

I'ts not the aesthetics I'm complaining about, the UI LOOKS great. It's the ability to operate the UI without a gamepad is what I'm reffering to

I was considering getting Skyrim, but Zelda and Super Mario 3D Land are on my radar this month.

Plus I don't really have the time or money to invest in all these big games, so I have to be very decisive about what I want to get (replay value and all that).

Disgaea Infinite, Xenosaga I, Dragon Quest Swords, some classic Taito arcade games, maybe some other games that are years old. The newest game I might play would be Fighting Fantasy: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain.

Well I'm not playing Skyrim... yet. I am on the other hand playing Uncharted 3 and enjoying every second of it!

Playing multiple Mario games in the runup to 3D Land on Sunday. NSMBWii, Galaxy 1 & 2, and 64DS

I haven't bought a new game in years. But, in honor of Skyrim, I plan to spend a good amount of time with Oblivion this week.

The Old Republic, if I ever manage to get through the queue. :(

Barring that I think I'll pick up the MGS HD collection tomorrow.

So who's currently running Joystiq?

Uncharted 3....wanna get that platinum ....oh and just might get my first COD game...yeah I know but all my friends are having fun with it .

Skyrim and MW3 and i might go back and do some more Uncharted 3 multiplayer sometime.

Dragons & Wizards etc aren't my bag.

Layton for me this weekend.

@MLS
The movie is pretty good.

I tried playing San Andreas and it just made me homesick for Liberty City, so I'm back to Ballad of Gay Tony. And I'm hyped for Ultimate Marvel!

Unfortunately, I'm playing Uncharted 3, Warfare 3, Skyrim, L.A. Noire 2nd time (1st for PC ), and soon MGS HD Collection. Unfortunate because it's so much goodness and to be honest, it's more than enough to satisfy anyone.

Finished the first Uncharted today...was about to tear into the second, but I ended up playing "watch the green game update bar fill up" 9 times instead.

I also played Get A Giant Project For Every Class And Both Of Your Jobs: Due ASAP. It's probably the worst ever.

I won't be playing Skyrim because I'm holding out on the inevitable GOTY edition. In the mean time, I just wrapped up Panzer Dragoon Saga for the Sega Saturn, Chrono Trigger for the PSOne, and Kingdom of Paradise for the PSP. With those out of the way, I went ahead and started up Baten Kaitos for the Gamecube and Riviera: The Promised Land for the PSP.

Finally, I'm still trucking through Tales of Vesperia. If I can finish it, I might just take on either Yakuza 3, Shining the Holy Ark for the Saturn, or Trinity: Souls of Zil O'll for the PS3 I'm also thinking that I may hold off on all of those and simply wait for Zelda: Skyward Sword.

Skyrim. Only Skyrim.

Been playing since it unlocked on Steam this morning (with break to sleep and walk the dog), and I love every minute of it.

Gunna wait on Skyim for Christmas.

Petrol is in my blood, so its still Forza 4.

I might pick up Skyrim along with AC: Revelations on Tuesday. I was going to hold out for a GOTY edition but it looks too good to wait on. Until then, I've got Heavy Rain, Sly Cooper 2 and Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars. And speaking of 3DS games...Super Mario 3D Land on Sunday. As someone who grew up with a Game Boy and not an NES, a new Mario game with "Land" in the title is a very special occasion.

I'll get Skyrim eventually, but unfortunately I had to put it on the backburner as I clear out my backlog.

I plan to finish off Call of Duty: Classic tomorrow and then start on Brink. Resistance 3 also has 5X XP this weekend so I'm hoping to get back into the multiplayer.

Skyrim Skyrim anyone finding the game on consoles to be a bit choppy? Whenever I turn in a circle it gets a bit choppy and when I run too.

GOW 3 the rest of this week
Halo CEA next week

No Skyrim (or MGS Collection) until next week.

Currently playing Assassin's Creed 2, because I couldn't be more late to the party (it's really good!). On that note, anyone know when Michael Jackson's going to be posting those tour dates?

going through the StarCraft II campaign, it's actually helping my online game, which is all I've been playing since it launched

MW3, BF3, Gears 3, and Halo Reach.

Skyrim.

...and Dissidia or Kirby Mass Attack on the side. My college classes are keeping me away from mah vedyergames!

Just got Skyrim,

Uncharted 3: Road to Platinum,
Dark Souls,
Batman: Arkham City NG+

Continuing my Professional run through Resident Evil 4 HD, avoiding my friends' Live party like the plague because all 3 of them are playing Skyrim and I wanna avoid spoilers.

I got Skyrim for $3 so I might play that and also MW3 (like my favorite game so far) and maybe Start on Assassins Creed Brotherhood DLC that I bought a long time ago and have yet to touch

Besides hours and hours of skyrim?

Some cars 2 with my kids.

Dark Souls, Battlefield 3, Gears 3

I'm resisted buying Skyrim. I have Dark Souls for my fantasy romp and I still need to finish The Witcher 2. I'll wait until all the bugs are fixed, some good mods come out, and for there to inevitably be some sort of goty edition with all the dlc.

I know it's "old," but I'm finally getting around to Minerva's Den in Bioshock 2 after finishing the main campaign on Hard difficulty.

DARK SOULS

Will be skipping skyrim

Skyrim, nothing but Skyrim

I'll be playing de Blob 2.

Yeah, that's right.

So many indie games. These bundles will be the death of me. Also, I started with DCUO and Fallout 3 GOTY on the PS3... and I have a 26 hour gaming event marathon to manage with some friends. Busy weekend.

Skyrim, probably for the next couple of months...

Rim of the sky, of course.

Only played a bit of it yet, but what I have played is just gorgeous. A dream come true.

So Skyrim and Uncharted 3, both of which need my attention.

I've been planning on getting AC: Revelations on launch day ever since it's announcement, as I always buy the AC's day one. But those Black Friday deals, like Best Buy's 35 dollar purchase, on top of the fact that Black Friday is not that far away, are certainly tempting. We shall see...

I'll be playing DragonSlayer Barbie, otherwise known as Skyrim.

I shall be working over the weekend so iOS gaming until Monday, when Assassin's Creed Revelations will arrive, and I will lose myself in the Rennaisance again!

I'll be playing MW3. Skyrim is in my hands, but my bro wants to wait so we can switch off between it and Skyward Sword
