Wondering if i should touch the hardback guide or not >_>

if you're getting the guide, get the hardback one. although i would wait until all the expansions and DLC are included and then get it.

The updated version would only be in paperback. The hardback CE is limited edition.

Choices choices...Plus the Hardback comes with a sorta free online map thing from Prima that would cost £15 anyway.

Hmm, mind you id probably never really use it until after id completed a large portion of the game, though since i dont know how its layed out, it could have information about weapons and monsters, etc which would be a nice read anyway.

It would be a nice thing to own, but inevitably the wiki pages will contain more info (and probably better organised). Oh, and free

True enough, but its just having there for the sake of it...i dunno...it is appealing.

:mad:

Damn the internet.

Yeah, I know what you mean - I always end up buying the strategy guides, but rarely look at them! I think the main reason I bought the one for Oblivion was because it came out before the actual games release, so gave me some reading material to fill the time

Again yes...argh...Free editable information from the Wiki (probably coming from Prima guide in some form) but wont be complete for ages.

Against a more or less complete delicious hardback... if only Prima released edited parts of the guide (expansions etc) for free to owners the book... >_> would be nice.

Yeah definitely getting the hardback guide.
Shame it's only available from one place at the moment...

I am well super pumped for this game, I can't believe November has come around so quick!

I hope it isn't delayed.

yashiro · 30 Oct 2011 at 00:09

They will ship the PC version working or not.

Pighardia · 30 Oct 2011 at 00:13

^ indeed, 11.11.11.

I have been looking forward to this game more than any other i think, but i am enjoying BF3 so much that i wouldn't actually mind if they did postpone it, just until i am bored

Sleeven88 · 30 Oct 2011 at 01:05

So excited. Week booked off work, Mrs going to New York. House to myself! Winning!

Im slightly scared though. Scared of disappointment.

And there are lots of unboxing videos on youtube.

I have rarely seen a game this big meet its first announced release date!

I am currently begging my local indie owner (normally lets me grab games when he gets his shipments in), but he won't be getting any shipments in until the 9th!

I can't wait any longer

Azza · 30 Oct 2011 at 10:19

Suppose I'm definitely going to have to get a graphics card for when this comes out!

PeterNem · 30 Oct 2011 at 10:35

I'm trying to hold off building a new PC until the new year. I've not had a proper gaming PC since Oblivion came out (back in the days when an AMD X2 3800 and a 7800GT was a good build!).

My main machines now are macs but I do have a Dell with a E7300 core 2 duo with some generic HD 3450 card in a machine I use for Windows office work. Thinking if I just throw a HD 6670 into that it'll see me through for a month or two (OEM 300 watt PSU with 18A on the +12v rail... so should be fine and the 6670 seems the best GPU which doesn't require any power other than what it can get from the PCI-E slot).

It sure was, I built my first PC just to play Oblivion after reading rave reviews and seeing vids. I had an ATI x800gto and thought it was great.

From all the previews and videos I've seen, this game is in fantastic condition for one which hasnt had any delays.
