Never seen that before.

Hmm I also got my Skyrim at Gamestop her ein germany, but I can#t find my receipt. Looks like I am fucked. I would have picked up Rayman as well.

there was a similar bug on both ps3 and 360 where the game was more prone to framerate dips and crashes the longer you played but nothing this bad.
the ps3 version of Fallout 3 did launch with a bug that would crash the game when ever a XMB notification would happen... that was funny.

How much of this can be blamed on Ps3 being crap to code games for?
They can just put the disc in a paper sleeve, and put the case on the shelves with a new sticker on it and sell it again for MSRP.
0.
Or have you not seen games like God of War 3, Uncharted series and countless multi plat games which are just fine?
It is developer laziness, no more and no less.

I didn't have the receipt. Go get Rayman.

I'm so damn glad I didn't buy the PS3 version. I was close to doing it, too. I run the PC version on ultra at 1080p, but I have to put the shadows at low to get 60fps in many places. This thread has made me realize I have nothing to complain about. I just feel for my brother. He is the biggest ES fan, and was on a complete media blackout, so pumped for this game. Way more so than me. Now he tells me he's not even playing it because of the PS3 problems. God damn, Bethesda. Get control of that fucking product you charge $60 for.

It's not crap to code games for. It's different.
Besides, Bethesda's always been hit and miss with their coding.
That really sucks, hopefully it's not a majority issue... but still Bethesda, do you test this shit?
Any PS3 owners care to chime in? It seems like there's only a few on here experiencing the issue but it's kind of hard to tell when there are so many 'GOTY lol' and troll posts to sift through.
360 version here, 165 hours in and pretty much only 2-3 issues (
). I guess I'm lucky...

Holding off buying this game till they sorted it out or probably wait for the the inevitable "GOTY" version a year down (or just buy a new PC RIG, atm it's costly).
Well some devs said it's a different difficult to develop for the PS3, but on this one - Bethesda is the one you should blame.

Please don't bring "the PS3 is hard to program for" excuse. If a developer can't make a PS3 game without game-breaking bugs 5+ years after the console's release, then it's just plain laziness/incompetence on their part. The console have nothing to do with it.

Errr ... What ?
The majority of PS3 GAF posts that I have read, all agreed and stated that they are experiencing the frame rate issue at one point or another. My self included.
I've noticed quite a few users say that it's not affecting them that much, but you're right in retrospect. Like I said, there's so many posts in this thread, it's hard to tell.
Yeah, its a launch slim. Playing off the disc because when it was installed the textures were always lowres.
That is some truth too.
This is NOT new(s).
You cannot fathom the shistorm that would ensue.
There's definitely a QA issue at Bethesda, I'm starting to wonder if that department even exists.

And once again, holding off on buying a bethesda game at release pays off. Will be grabbing the PC version then when I've got the time.
Or it would end up like Sonic '06. PS3 version delayed by months, and still played worse than the already terrible 360 version.

Honest question for the OP and everyone else: did anyone actually read the article beyond what the OP quoted and watch the second video? What he specifically quoted related to the game's performance before patch 2.01. The first video was also made before 2.01 which was when the game was an unplayable mess after the save file reaches ~10 MB or higher. The second video shows that patch 2.01 didn't fix the issue entirely but it still runs quite a bit smoother.
It is pretty f'ing shameful for Bethesda to have released the game in that state and they clearly should have delayed the game or skipped the PS3 entirely, but they did say they aren't finished patching the game so there's still hope.

My friend has about 90 hours for PS3, and has experienced no stuttering. He did have stuttering earlier, but he just turned off all autosave. This is still some bullshit, but it might help some people if this hasn't been mentioned yet.
I'm around 50 hours in and I just saw my first dragon fly backward, it was pretty funny until I remembered all the posts on GAF about how it's a sign that I'm experiencing the evil curse of the PS3 version. Another dragon attacked me a little while later and it was all normal, with still no drops in frame rate and far from 0fps.
I know 2 other people with the PS3 version and neither have experienced anything bad enough to complain about. So either we're all really lucky or the problem is being blown out of proportion a little bit, but that never happens on video game forums. I'm not saying there isn't a problem, just that it's no where near enough of a problem to not buy the game.

It is a problem, its just very inconsistent right now.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
Yes your few anecdotal experiences limited to a tiny sample definitely overshadows those of a march larger sample (the internet) and documented proof of the problem.
Clearly we are exaggerating.
People have claim:
1.No problems at all even with big saves
2.Huge problems with low framerates
3.Only problems in dungeons
4.Problems even with a small save file
5.Problems with huge save files
6.Problems after a couple of hours resetting the game fixes it until the next couple of hours.
7.No problems until several hours in.
Its really inconsistent but its still a big problem that makes the game unplayable for some people.

It sounds like a lottery, almost.
I think if I was one of those people fortunate enough to have a functioning game, I wouldn't try to paint the less fortunate as exaggerators. It's quite off-putting and I'm already kind of aggravated about the situation.
edit: that comment wasn't directed toward you.

It always happens with stuff like this. Can remember people claiming the rrod stuff was overblown. Until it happened to them.

Listen, I'm a huge PS3 fan, but Sony has to own up to at least some of this. Not only did they launch a year later than the 360 (therefore giving Microsoft a bigger install base), but they also made the PS3 harder develop for given the complexity of the Cell architecture.
The truth of the matter is that Bethesda is not going to bother with the PS3 version because more money can be made with the 360 version. That's also one reason why Microsoft is getting the DLC first.

I was referring to people not buying it because there's possible lag after 65 hours of gameplay that could possibly be patched in the near future, it just seems like people are choosing to miss out on fun because of all this talk of the PS3 version being broken. 20 hours of Skyrim is probably still worth the full price...
Unless it's out of protest, but Bethesda aren't exactly going to feel the loss of money.
