No.

Other games wait for Skyrim.

Here's the real question: I could not for the life of me get into Oblivion and hated everything about its execution. Any chance I'll like Skyrim?

Probably not, but I guess anything is possible.

No, I want to throw fireballs now.

Bro I am already excited for Nov. 11th.
 
I don't feel like waiting any more than that.

@MormonWarrior: Gonna say 'nope'.

Find another game, this looks like Super Oblivion, which is fantastic IMO, but it isn't going to convert people who disliked Oblivion.

There are so many games coming out that month and while I was so tempted to go with this but I know that if I wait 6 months then I get all of the awesome dlc that they'll make as a bonus.

I see what your saying and no doubt there will be a GOTY edition and it will save your monies , but dude, its been 4 years and well its Skyrim, nuff said

I could never wait on a game like Skyrim, but I will probably also buy the GOTY edition, and the 5 year anniversary edition in 2016.

I see what you're saying, and I respect it. But no.

You're looking at a year, minimum. I won't be able to wait ten minutes.

For me, no. This is one of those games where I just gotta have it right away. I have eagerly been anticipating this game for a long while now. I know that in terms of money I spend vs the money someone else spends, they will end up getting a lot more for less... but value is in the eye of the beholder. To me it is worth the $60 premium to play this game from the get go and piecemeal the DLC I want into it. I know it will cost me a lot more in the end than someone who waits for the GOTY edition but like I said, I can't wait. This and Diablo 3 are about the only games I absolutely can't wait for :D

I've got the patience of a hand grenade so no, I won't be waiting for a GOTY edition. Aside from that I've got no problems paying for the game and any good DLC piecemeal. It will cost me more money, but that's okay because it's more money for Bethesda to make more great games with.

I've been gaming on a two- to three-year delay recently, because my interest waned heavily a while ago and it's just now starting to wax again, though it's likely to never return to its original fever pitch.

Short answer: I will wait not only until the GOTY edition comes out, but also until I can get the whole package for less than thirty dollars during a Steam sale.

How can I put this...Fuck no?

I am. At the very least I'm waiting till they patch the game enough so that it will be playable to the point where it won't make my console explode. 

Play awesome game in 1 month or wait to play it in 13 months.
I'll choose one month

I dunno man, that's more like a year out. You never know what their DLC schedule is gonna be like, either. So you could end up waiting awhile.

biggest game of the year? Wait a year to play it? HAHAHAHAHA No.

Hell no. I usually play the main game and finish it. I rarely buy expansions or dlc for non-multiplayer games.

Imma wait for some patches and bug fixing mods first..... LOLOLOL jk day one.. (comes out on my birthday)

NOPE! (Chuck Testa) this game is the only 2011 game i have and will purchase

It's always worth it to wait for the GOTY edition. You save so much money by not buying the DLCs as they get released.

Yah I can wait for the GOTY edition. Fallout 3 GOTY was a great deal plus a lot of the bugs were fixed, plus somehow I'm like over a year behind in my games. Just getting caught up to Alan Wake now.

I have no willpower so I know I'll cave long before the game comes out. Plus I loved Oblivion and Fallout 3 so much that I can't stay away from another game that will consume my life into early next year.

I'm expecting it in a year to year and 3-4 months honestly. I could see it earlier if November is crazy. I sorta wanna wait cause I'm tired of getting burned on Bethesda games... However I'll be leaving my system at home when I leave for college so.. Not sure.

I often have the same compulsion with games that I know are going to get lots of content-based DLC that I might enjoy, but in this case, I'm interested enough in the base game and eager enough to play it that the appeal of the DLC (and, in turn, waiting for it) is insubstantial by comparison. I already have Skyrim preordered.

Hell. No.

Naw.

No I am not. I will buy Skyrim twice. Once now again later.

I tried that with New Vegas, now Skyrim's coming out so I'll probably never play it.

Not a chance, I'd have a hard time going a day knowing that I could be playing the game when I'm not.

... I don't need to buy a game until they actually finish it.

I've been waiting years for this so there's no way I can wait even a day longer than necessary. I've bought both Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 multiple times, so Skyrim won't be any different.

If you don't have a burning raging boner for all things Bethesda like I do, then yes it does make more sense to wait for a year (and that's a year at least, definitely not 6 months) to get the same game with added content for a cheaper price. I'm sure between now and whenever the GOTY version comes out a ton of great games will come out to keep you preoccupied.

nope.

im not waiting 6 months just to save a few £ im not that strapped for cash
