Porting console game to PC: proof of fail for SKYRIM!

I'm starting this post to pinpoint a major problem in the game industry, which is: Porting a game made for a CONSOLE to PC.

Now, as you may know there been a lot of very good game that have been fully devolved for PC and that have been a huge success. UT2004, ESIV - Oblivion and Crysis 1 are a good example.

The main problem I have been observing since 2006-2007, is that more and more game developer have been making game on console and porting them in PC instead of fully developing them for the PC. This actually bring a big problems which lead to critical bugs, less freedom for settings, and designing problem, mostly because console run on TV screen and computer doesn't.

The most perfect example is the UT3 fail and the Crysis 2 fail. But now after playing some of Skyrim on PC, I'm starting to realize that unlike Oblivion, they haven't developed the game for PC and that lead to 2 huge problem:

1. Remapping your key will completly make the "favorite" system (for weapon and magic) fail!!! <--- Sweety if you read this, know that it have been driving me crazy XD.

2. The inventory menu (magic, weapons, items, etc.) was definitely made for a console game (big font, and list rolling system). For an experiment game player as myself it has become clear like crystal. The first time I saw the inventory menu I slapped my head telling myself: "Oh god! Stupid Bethesda did a F***ing port from a console".

Hopefully, the modding community for Elder Scroll game STANDS!!!! In this video, you will see what a REAL PC INVENTORY MENU Should looks like:

Skyrim Mod Sanctuary - Part 7 : SkyUI (Skyrim User Interface)

Now don't get me wrong peeps (especially you my precious sweety if you read this XD), I am not bashing this game, but I do think that game like this, always should be developed for PC and then ported to console, not the other way around. More PC gamers have been complaining about this problem which is starting, in my opinion, to become very alarming, especially when you know that the main reason for developing game for console is mostly because of the same damn f**ing thing: MONEY!!! THE DAMN F***ING MONEY!! how many game company will fall into this trap, Epic Game did (UT), Crytek did (Crysis) and now *sigh*, Bethesda did.

Yes is true what you say, many companys look to the bling bling and forget the quality of is money source! -.-

One thing about the video, the guy was complaining about endless favorites page but he forgot the meaning of FAVORITE cause he added everydam spell on it! i Just have 2 magic and 1 weapon on my list and dont need much more!


Im playing Skyrim in the new xbox and honestly didnt found yet any bug or major problems!

Only thing i wished to have was a lock on oponent to dont make me miss them and when on batle whit a dragon or a dungeon boss is hard to do "combos" cause im nervous and sweating from hands!! xD need make pause to clean them constantly!

Oh and another thing, the speel clarividence doesnt always help! It show us the way to the closest quest task so when we are between 2 quests the speel indicates 2 ways and end being useless sometimes.

note: when we start have too many mission arrows on the top compass i sugest to open missions page and disable a few your not going to do soon and let the closest ones activated!

Anyway, even whit this few problems Skyrim just take Zelda from my fav throne! At many time i dont experiment a game so good and so exciting! The soundtrack, the grafics... everything! is so dam good! Is not just a game about slashing oponents, we must think a lot and the game will continue acording to us choices!


Ok time to go, i have dragons to kill! ~~~~

(I ustued to like pc, then i took Skyrim in the knee!)

Kisses!
Gata & llin
