Skyrim: 5 Things It’s Missing

360 Magazine: Skyrim might be a big game, but Bethesda has made some schoolboy errors…

[DaveX360]

It's missing nothing, clearly.

[StraightPath]

its sometimes unplayable on the PS3.

[megacowdung]

oh god yes, the framerate is horrible especially on cutscenes and stuff.

[Laxman]

Keyword is PS3.

[dirigiblebill]

I'll see that five and raise you 15.

[slayorofgods]

Monopoly money doesn't count in poker because it can't be used in the real world.

[dirigiblebill]

A studied insult. I'll dance on your grave, sir.

[snipes101]

How about a patch or 10?

[LastDance]

spears

[Biglet]

Is that a foil-wrapped Kilo of charlie I see on top of the bog? Quick - it's the cozzers! Flush it!

[Biglet]

Wah. The image changed. (clearly, the coke was flushed and someone left something in the bowl to discourage further investigation)

[Dailynch]

You guys are stupid, Skyrim clearly needs Dr Who in it.

[Ace_Man_6]

it's missing more than 10FPS……

[Drake117]

your missing a good computer

[azraelnc]

That's strange, I can't seem to get below 10FPS, even in Markarth.

[slayorofgods]

I know there have been some slight performance issues that needed to be tweaked or modded to run on ultra settings. I'm looking forward to the patch in a few days just like everyone else.

But this is the first I've heard of the 10FPS issue. You have 14 agree so I assume it is a widespread issue?

[Yukicore]

I think he meant that it misses 10 more FP/S, not that the game runs at 10FP/S.

[ShottySnipa417]

This list is spot on about the dinosaurs.

[SITH]

Hey high speed, dinosaurs were not alive when mammoths and saber tooth tigers roamed earth. Early man hunted those animals and we definitely were not around with dinosaurs. So wtf is this list and you talking about?

[ShottySnipa417]

Dude, what I said was a joke. The fact you even took that list seriously is pretty sad.

I want to be a paleontologist in the future. Dinosaurs were most likely extinct due to an asteroid smashing into the Yucatan peninsula 65.5 million years ago. Had the dinosaurs not died out, they would still be around and we wouldn't even exist. The mammals during the Mesozoic era (Dinosaur period) were reduced to small, rat-like bodies because the dinosaurs filled all of the niches that the mammals couldn't even dream to touch back then.

Also, if you play Skyrim, why are there mammoths and saber tooth cats living with medieval people? That certainly didn't happen at all in history. So what would it matter if dinosaurs were in this game in the first place? This game is labeled as a fantasy game, after all...

So yes, I know my stuff regarding prehistory. What I said here was a joke... Stop keeping your panties all in a bunch...

Edit: Also, "Saber Toothed Tigers" is the incorrect term to saying that kind of animal. They were Saber Toothed Cats, my friend. =)

[SITH]

Kid I have a BS degee and a BA in history. I don't need your help with history. And with your impeccable insight into the game you failed to notice elder scrolls planet has two moons. NOT EARTH.

And it is saber tooth tiger or cat (Smilodon) neither is wrong. Next time you google something open the top search up and read. Many animals had, "saber teeth" mr. Paleontologists. come correct with that 10 second research when you think you are educating someone. And did you bother to find out where birds originated from in your extensive research into the demise of dinosaurs? If you did you wouldn't be so quick to claim they all died. Go read a book. That turkey you may be eating this holiday is related to the t-Rex.

Pre-history... has absolutely nothing to do with dinosaurs.

Also next time you think you made a joke put (j/k) at the end so there is no confusion of a literal statement.

[Drake117]

how could that not be a joke

[ShottySnipa417]

Now you just contradicted yourself.

In your first post, you started off stating the realistic facts about ancient life. Then, I responded by saying that my previous statement was a joke.

Then, you go on by saying, "And with your impeccable insight into the game you failed to notice elder scrolls planet has two moons. NOT EARTH." Well, NO SHIT! I DID say this game was fantasy, didn't I? So, when I said "What difference does it make if dinosaurs were around?", it was a valid question.

And no, I didn't Google search all the stuff I said. I knew that from years of studying the one topic I want to professionalize in after I graduate college. We "kids" have a voice, too. I don't care if you disbelieve me, but don't take logistics for a video game so damn seriously.

[YoungKingDoran]

hahaha
sith: "i have a BS degee"
yeah you can say that again.
dinosaurs are awesome, and skyrim is a fantasy game. last time i checked, lots of the monsters in that game didnt exist during the time of humans, mammoths and sabre tooths, or at all.
giants - maybe
dragons - i wish
argonians - probably not, but try telling that to David Icke though

[SITH]

This must be a noob lists, I have seen three out houses in the game at least. There are numerous rooms with buckets on the floor. That's the toilet.

[Jio]

You realize this list is a joke right?

[That_Genius]

I think he might have been joking too. Idunno.

[blaziliuz12]

I'm not sure whether he's joking.Seeing as how he reacted to ShottySnipa417's comment.

[Slugg3r]

So toilets it is!

[Grip]

i finished the main quest andfeel there's something missing in the story other than that nothing

[acemonkey]

i would like it to be more gory and maybe a button to call your horse

maybe a gun lol but thats why they have magic and shouts

[pr0digyZA]

i hope you have the pc version because i can guarentee those will be modded in.

[MizTv]

well lets see u cant lvl jump at all,cant make a class like in 4,cant name your weapons after u combine a soul gem and cant make spells. i like the gamr but 2 me i like 4 much better

[KaBaW]

You can rename your weapon in the game, after adding a soul gem to an item..

[BuT_TeR]

A helpful patch.

[chretienm]

Lol okay?

[Bellcross]

Skyrim need whores....

and the ability to climb, I also want to ride a freakin dragon. =(

[Qrphe]

In all seriousness, it NEEDS a better melee combat system. The current system feels more or less the same since Morrowind.
I know this isn't Dark Souls, but Bethesda could seriously step its game up on the next Elder Scrolls game in this aspect.

[LastDance]

dark souls has spoilt us

[Gigglefist]

Reason 4 makes this entire article invalid.

[Aaroncls7]

Wow. That was weak. The N4G comments are actually funnier than the "article"

[SwampCroc]

Horrible hit-hungry article.... worst read of the day... I should burn my eyes out..

Other than minor issues... which come standard in all games now... Skyrim is fine...

I'm closing in on 100 hours on my only character and I haven't had any big problems...

people nit-pick too much about Framerates and glitchs... just play the game...

[bozebo]

lol you didn't read it

[SwampCroc]

actually I did... it was about toilets, yoda, Dr. Who and 2 other point less things...

the other part of my remark is just about other random comments...

[Reborn]

Woah, this got taken a lot more serious than the usual ones.

I agree with one of the comments, regarding the melee.

[0neShot]

Who cares about Dr Who, but where is Marty McFly? Missing also are Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo and Richtofen - these guys teleport everywhere.

[i_like_ff7]

This is the dumbest list ever

[Shinuz]

Its missing your character's Shadow while in 1st person mode!!

[iMpuTeD]

this was a retarded and pointless article

[DeFFeR]

this was a retarded and pointless comment

[That_Genius]

You should also be able to bend arrows to go hit a person bside you like in Wanted. :)

[Kishin]

its missing fun factor.

[The_Kills]

Missing the Solid State Drive they should include with every purchase so the game can be played without so much texture pop in/frame rate downfall.

[DeadManMcCarthy]

What about fat people? There's no fat peope.

Or dwarfs, would be awesome to be an evil leprachaun in the game.

[TheWolverine]

Author = retarded

[WitWolfy]

I found one thing wrong with this game... Too many retards are playing it and when they arent happy about something, then they come on the internet to write idiotic articles about it.

[No_Pantaloons]

toilets
dinosaurs
cars
yoda
dr.who

......thats the stupidest thing i've read in quite some time

[SephirothX21]

News Flash. The Elder Scrolls is not based on the planet Earth so who cares when dinosaurs and dragons existed on Earth. It is not relevant!

[GammaTru]

This article really made me laugh. But mostly at the people who took it seriously and can't take a joke :)

[iMpuTeD]

DeFFeR you are a Grande Pito Lover

[Hide_and_Geek]

Charm.

[Bimkoblerutso]

N4G users have no sense of irony or sarcasm.
