Aren't those the guys that gave Oblivion 9.5, but then shat on it and removed the review as soon as Skyrim appeared on the horizon?
Can't wait. :bounce:

Game Informar is Bethesda's exclusive magazine of choice. They have been given the first preview for everyone of their games since Oblivion - and their coverage is fawning PR crap just as you would expect. They basically act an extension of Bethesda's PR machine.

Expect a game preview in blowjob form. If the focus is upon the new engine the game will have shit design, if the focus is upon the story and design, the game will simply have poor design.

Over there.
WHEEEE!!!! _~'^^'~_ :D --<-@ **** Kawaiiiiiii!!!!!




...the fuck is this place turning into?


In all seriousness, I do want to see the screens. I've got to know if it's going to be a fucked-over rebuilt version of Gambryo that they're calling "new", or if it really is some new engine.

11 pages, man. There will be plenty of orgasmic gushing, but a fact or two has to be there, given the length.

Just read some posts in the TES forums (for amusement purposes and to find out if anyone got the magazine), they say the magazine is gonna be shipped out today or tomorrow to them plus this:
Skyrim is coming out 11/11/11

Skyrim, converted to numbers where A=1, B=2, etc: 19/11/25/18/9/13
19112518913 has 11 digits.
If you divide that number by 11, you get approximately 17375017193.
17375017193 also has 11 digits.

If you divide 17375017193 by 111111 (the date that Skyrim is released), you get 15637.311112311112 (repeating). Add 1+5+6+3+7, the nonrepeating digits, up to get 22-- that is, two elevens. 15637 is a tower within a tower-- an eleven (5+6) hidden inside an eleven (1+3+7).

If you take the sum of the components of Skyrim (19+11+25+18+9+13), you get 95.95 divided by 11 is 8.63636363 (repeated). 8 time 6 times 3 is 144-- that is, two twelves. In other words, the sum of the components of Skyrim (the two twelves) is sufficient to get us past the Skyrim in itself (the two elevens, one eleven contained in another) toward-- what? What lies past the two twelves?

11*11*12*12 is 17424. Here we have an eleven (7+4), but not inside another eleven-- inside a 7 (1+2+4), perfection. The tower inside the divine, the New Man inside the God, everlasting hypnogogic. Hallucinations become lucid under His eye and therefore, like all parents of their children, the Amaranth cherishes and adores all that is come from Him.

I must confess, I am curious how fucking badly Bethesda 'artists' have bungled up the faces of everyone this time. Will they look like talking frogs or like talking genitalia? Exciting.

Story, and interesting skills and any semblence of RPG will of course be absent. And, should Soule be hired, music will be the same as he's always done.

And third, I wonder how badly they will suck at optimization this time? Will people be able to see all the glitz 5 years from now when the technology has caught up to the shitty coding?

I'd bet a million septims ;) Skyrim has:

A Vats type feature (maybe for finishing moves or magic)
A romance option
Companions with they're own side quests
Dual Wielding weapons
Prettier faces
Better animations
Locations that aren't covered in snow
An invasion from akavir as the main plot
You will be the dragon born
Werewolfs and vampires
Falmer ruins kinda like the aylieds
The plot heavily involves tiber septim
Ok who of you is this guy:
Honestly?

Bad writing
Weak quest design
Decent exploration
Cliched story
Average combat
Simplified game mechanics
Good graphics

It's probably just a bored math student trolling people who asked if 11 had some kind of significance in the TES lore.

well most of that is your opinion, i thought FO3 had major upgrades in alot of that stuff.

so in my opinion you already are proven wrong.

Fallout was made by Obsidian, and you're very strange if you didn't like Oblivion.

I expect Bethesda to blow me away.
I mean they have a new engine and everything.

I'm surprised that posts like that are about 50/50 with those that are either measured praise at best or openly critical at worst... and almost everyone seems to want more complexity. Not that it'll mean anything. But let me stick to my fragile illusion that we've passed the peak of dumbing down.

No. You get approximately 1737501719,3

How could you get an 11 digit number by dividing an 11 digit number by more than 10 anyway ?

A new era is dawning in the world of Tamriel, and we've got 14 pages of penis-slurping PR action

Seriously, if you read that article "the right way", you can probablly deduce a couple of things about Skyrim. They have a lot of magic words in the industry which tend to betray the reality of the matter.

Not that it won't be shit anyway...
