I was thinking about buying it but I think it not worth the money

Not on PS3. Its probably worth it on 360 and is definitely worth it on PC.

Nah. 240 hours in, can't be worth the money I paid for it at all.

You should at least tell people why you think that so that they can give you a better opinion.

Its worth it for the entertainment value, if you would otherwise starve or be unable to function without that money, it probably isn't worth it.

I think it's a great game but if you think a game that big isn't worth the money then it probably just isn't your style of game. I still suggest it anyway.

If it''s not your type of game and you already think it's not worth in then: no, it's probably not worth it.  
 
I know, making sense on these forums, right? how dare I. 

If you genuinely even need to ask this question, I think it's probably not worth buying it (for you). You're probably the kinda person who wouldn't enjoy the combat or something so much you think the game stinks. It's no Call Of Duty my friend.

Nope...a poorly made game all around.

It wasn't for me - I hope were very much alike or this recommendation might steer you astray!

On PC yes.  On 360 yes.  On PS3 only if bugs don't annoy you a lot.

I think people really do blow the PS3 problems out of proportion. I've put about 100 hours into this version, and while I saw some chugging framerates in Whiterun and a few backwards-flying dragons, it's by no means unplayable. Patches, while far from perfect, have fixed most of these troubles (which are not game-breaking, by any means).

To tell someone not to buy the game on PS3 is just ludicrous -- this is an epic, one-of-a-kind game that comes along once every decade or so. Don't miss it, even if you're playing on Sony's console.

@Galiant:

I'm just going by what everyone else has said about that version as I've only played the PC version.

thank I want to get portal 2 but I saw skyrim and thought about it and came here

No man. If you want to keep your job and/or stay in school, it's not worth it to buy Skyrim.

If you're thinking about getting it for the Xbox, then I'd wait for the GOTY edition. If you're getting it for PC, however, I'd go ahead and get it. The mod community will have created plenty of things to do by the time you've exhausted all the vanilla game has to offer.

@Brando: Agreed. I play on PC, but I've watched my brother play the PS3 version with very few issues. He also has about 80 hours in one file, and 20-30 in another and has had very few complaints in terms of bugs.

Wait for the GOTY edition for $40 or less. It's overhyped because modern games are so linear and narrow in scope that it's easy to get a boner over something like Skyrim despite how unpolished it is.

@3ds24: Brad gave it a 5 in his review. I did a user review and gave it 4. It is very much worth the money.

@3ds24:

Where have you been? Have you not read any reviews or seen any of the response online?

This has to be a troll. That, or someone who lives under a rock, raised by wolves, etc. etc.

eh idk

probably; but it really depends on what kind of games you like and how forgiving you are of flaws.

If you like that kind of game, absolutely.

Yes.

Is Skyrim worth the money? This has to be a joke thread, right? Right?

SHUT UP AND BUY THAT SHIT!

somehow i don't think this guy and skyrim will mesh..

The PS3 version doesnt really have any major problems when I think about it....  Like I didnt mind the lag until the internet started bitching about it.  I guess its because I really loved Fallout 3 on the PS3 and I tolerated that version 

I have ps3 and bunch of you said it bad and I don't know a thing about it and 300 hour sound long so there are side quest on it and I not a troll

Definitly worth it man. Awesome game with a shit ton of content. If you like this kind of game you will get alot more hours out of it then you would from most $60 games.

I think I might get it thanks

How are you so unapologetically real?

@3ds24: I have the 360 version and I have to say yes!! I am 210+ hours in and I just started a new character. Love the game.

For Xbox/PC, it is completely worth the money. If you were thinking between Portal 2 and Skyrim, I'd buy Skyrim and rent Portal 2, because you will finish Portal much more quickly than you'll be finished with Skyrim.

why is it worth it on the 360 pc

Portal 5 hours, Skyrim 100+ its worth the money.

The 360 version is the superior console version (no oxymoron intended). Or at least, was. I've heard that the latest patch, 1.4, fixed all the lag issues on PS3 which rendered the game unplayable after some time. I guess you can buy either version now, if those rumors are true.

On PC, mods. Seriously. Fucking mods are amazing. They are as simple as animation tweaks to things as complex as redoing the whole magicka system, including textures, gameplay, quests, places, weapons, armors, companions, etc.

Mods.

Everyone who has played it says "It is very much like Oblivion, but a bit cleaned up so it's better". It looks like a pretty standard Bethesda game, so you can probably base your decision on their past work.

Skyrim Sucks!

If you don't think it's worth buying it's not worth buying. Simple as that. Pointless thread. Come on, read reviews, watch videos, make up your mind. Give us more info as to why you don't think it's worth 50 bucks or whatever the price is nowadays and perhaps someone can help you.

Listen, you can find a TON of things about Skyrim all around the internet. It's pointless to ask a group of strangers on the internet if it's worth a purchase or not. However, if you're still interested in what we have to say, I think the game's okay. I don't think it's spectacular, but it's solid and will keep you interested. I'd say check it out. The PS3 version is pretty busted though, so rent/buy the PC or the Xbox 360 version.

Giant Bomb's game of the year ! Need I say more ?
