iansutton91 Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 I played Oblivion on both PC and the 360. I liked both for different reasons (i.e better graphics on the 360 vs. mods on the PC). However, I have recently acquired a Macbook Pro and no longer have my gaming laptop. In y'alls opinion, will Skyrim be better on the 360 or PC? Thanks!

ita Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Definitely on the PC, as PC users will be able to use mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AurianaValoria1 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 PC. If I'm not mistaken, they get higher resolution options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hector530 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 (edited) if you have a PC that can play skyrim, theres no reason to get it for 360. unless the like spending more for something that does less, but you bought a MAC so you prply do.....lol i kid i kid Edited May 22, 2011 by hector530 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The better graphics on the 360 in your case is only due to the power of PC you have, a PC can blow away a 360. Mods and the ability to far outstrip a console graphically make PCs the winner hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansutton91 Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 I see. Hmm...dunno if I should start searching for a computer. Who knows, maybe playing it only on the 360 will be good since come Spring I'll have a boatload of school to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corakus Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 That really depends on just how powerful your computer is, a powerful enough computer can actually run games more smoothly than a 360 or PS3 can.On the other hand, if your computer is utter crap, it might be best to stick with the console version until you can afford a decent enough PC to run it with all the mods you want on it.Some people said that Oblivion's UI was more suited for a console, but I don't think that's necessarily true, just because you play on the console doesn't mean you don't want a clean, immersive UI that doesn't take up much space.

Mightandmarine Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 As said above me, if your computer can handle it fairly well then all power to you. However, if you, like me, have trouble doing so much as playing Fallout then maybe you should hit the 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwellufool Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Protip: DON'T GET A GAMING PC FOR SKYRIM YET. Wait until a month or two before, or preferably when they release the requirements, then build on that. PC gaming is always evolving, so 1,000 into a pc now has a good chance to not be as good as 1,000 into a gaming computer shorty before release.

audioave10 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 You should find someone to build a gaming PC specifically for what you need. Buying one means a lot of junk (60-day Norton free trial, etc) on the OS which will make it slower. Usually new PC's don't have strong enough power supplies & video cards to be serious machines. If money is tight, (and you are in school) go ahead with the console. I'd sure miss the great mods I expect for Skyrim however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
