Extremely impressed with Skyrim, releasing on the same week as the phenomenon known as MW3 and still pre-ordering over 1.2 million units. Here I was thinking 360 owners only buy shooters.
Edit: Halo 4 already over 100k units and no release date. BEAST.

Chuk54553d ago

I am also impressed with Skyrim's numbers. Don't be fooled by the numbers shooters do on 360, there are a lot of of 360 gamers that love western rpgs.

xPhearR3dx4553d ago

All 360 fans only love shooters is just a stereotype, just like all black people love chicken. The fact that Skyrim on 360 almost has more pre-orders than MW3 on PS3 is damn impressive.

Focus4553d ago

I do love me some chicken though. He he he. Skyrim is pre-ordering almost 3 times more on 360 with an install base less than twice as many before anyone mentions the 11 million difference

Noticeably_FAT4553d ago

I wouldn't be surprised to see Halo take back the most pre-orders for an Xbox 360 game. I am guessing between 3-4 million by the time the game releases late next year.

fluffydelusions4553d ago

Halo CD Anniversary has nearly 600k preorders...madness for an HD remake.

SlipperyMooseCakes4553d ago

Halo An. Will have a lot of preorders, but it will not beat MW3. It is a remastering of a 10 year old game so a lot of people will not purchase it. However, Halo 4 I think will give any game a run for its money. Not only is it a Halo game, but the return of Master Chief. We haven't seen a game released with him in it since 2007. And we all remember the spectacular Halo 3 launch.

towelie12884553d ago

already got CODMW3 and Halo CE for 360
thinking about MGSHD
and battlefield is a great game already and still playing

SDF Repellent4553d ago

Wait a minute, I thought all X360 fans only buy shooters? What the heck is Skyrim, Assasin's Creed Revelation, and Saint's Row the Third doing on the chart. :S

GraveLord4553d ago

Modern Warfare 3 is BEAST. Its on track to beat Black Ops' record for highest first week sales of all time!

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai9h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken8h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

Valkyrye7h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken5h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

Inverno3h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop2h ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Chocoburger3h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer2h ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

badz1491h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos1h ago(Edited 1h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

Hopefully Microsoft will go back to the original story line and get away from that woke nonsense from the last Gears game Gears of Woke! But were talking about Microsoft so all the betting money is on more of the same woke nonsense.

Sciurus_vulgaris1h ago

The Locust trilogy concluded with Gears of War 3. I don’t get how Gears 4 and 5 are “woke” .
