Looking at the review scores coming in for Skryim it definitely looks like it's gonna be front runner for game of the year. Mines been dispatched by Amazon today so I better get it by Saturday. In response to the post a few above about a patch, Bethesda have said there will be a patch released tomorrow.

Oblivion got good scores and that was absolutely terrible.

Are the basic mechanics of walking, running and fighting any better on Skyrim? Particularly the use of spiral staircases?

You can't dismiss an old game as terrible because of a few graphical glitches or whatever they were. I've not played Oblivion yet but I've heard nothing but stupendous praise for it.

I can dismiss whatever I like. It was terrible. Walking, stairs, fighting. In an RPG the basics need to be there and they weren't. It was hard to admire the locations and the different echelons of a wonderfully created game when they were so poor.

Got mine on order - hoping that it comes tomorrow morning but not getting my hopes up. I watched the review on IGN and they gave it a 9.5 so expectations are pretty high

I've had high expectations on a few games this year and been badly disappointed. Skyrim is ticking a lot of boxes for me at the minute just a few glitches need sorting. Reminds me a lot of things from Morrowind, but lots of extra bits that keep making me and my flatmate shout out "Have you seen this yet?".

Regarding the patch, there was an update on Wednesday, but that hasn't fixed any of the problems I’ve encountered. There's another annoying glitch i keep getting. When you go into any menu the directional buttons don't work. You have to keep quitting out and going back in. Very annoying when you're in mid battle and need to heal. Hopefully they'll release something today to fix these problems.

Anyone any rumours on when GTA V is being released. I'm a sucker for these games and have owned every single one.

Must do something for you though when you are still playing if after so long. I agree though, the AI in this regard does need to be improved. Instead of running back away from the player there needs to be some sort of positional awareness. The AI should take no more than a few steps backwards as they wouldn't in real life. In real life the fullback would ping it to the keeper and in the first one, they would retain possession by passing it to the centre backs once you closed the midfielder down.

Are you just holding x throughout those clips? Auto-contain is absolutely useless as you'll never ever get in a position to tackle them. Instead of chasing their bum around the pitch, just get goalside and use contain. That way they come forward and you can intercept or challenge them.
