"I'm definitely noticing the frame rate drops on PS3; on a regular basis mind you.The majority of games are always being rushed for release which is really annoying - they should go through intense testing before releasing to the the mass. It's not fun I know waiting for a release and it makes it a whole lot worse when they do eventually get released only to be riddled with bugs, performance issues; you name it.Sort it out! :-)"Steve
"Without giving too much away before the PC review is up, I'd say that it is a real testament to how good a game Skyrim is that I haven't had a GUI-based tantrum yet. It helps knowing that it'll be modded/patched quite soon, but what bugs me is that the game is so nearly perfect in so many other ways, yet they made the colossal design decision of using that menu system on the PC. Seemingly without adjustment, because I often end up exiting menus and conversations due to appalling mouse integration.But I do want to reiterate that I'm very madly in love with the game, despite this (baffling) flaw. Every time I have to pick a perk, I grit my teeth and prepare for 2 minutes of randomly bouncing around the screen hammering direction keys, knowing the frustration is a small price to pay for the rest of the brilliance. I just don't understand why it's a price that needs paying at all."

"You called it mate - no doubt it will be GOTY"Ray_Baker
"That's quite an achievement.Bethesda have clearly made one of the best titles, no doubt it will probably pick up, game of year the next year. :-) If it doesn't, voting will be fixed."ShotgunPeanut
"It does seem a very strange decision to make the game so it only really runs smoothly on PC, but at the same time to tailor the GUI so heavily towards consoles. It means you either get a game that has either a usable menu system and doesn’t run well or one that has a nearly unusable menu system but runs fine.It isn’t like you need a monster PC either. The review machine for the PC version is using an HD4870, which was a fairly decent card when it came out but is frankly ready for the knacker’s yard now. The only noticeable drop in performance is when an area loads, where there is a second or two before everything goes back to smooth again.That said, I think I would trade the odd drop in performance for a menu system that can be used with a mouse and keyboard."

"That was perhaps one of the most fun things to do in San Andreas. Little Sanchez, mountain covered in dirt tracks.I'm sure they are going to go that way but as of yet all we can do is speculate."Ray_Baker
""Grand Theft Auto V heads to the city of Los Santos, San Andreas."^^ The above quote is the news I've been waiting for since GTA:SA itself!The trailer is pretty impressive - It makes me want to fast forward time so I can test drive this bad boy tomorrow!One noticeable thing; The mountain range - maybe I'm jumping the gun here, because of Skyrim's immense map which doesn't have a mountain range you CAN'T climb gives it an aspect of, 'this isn't a .JPEG image in the background' makes me want to ride a little 'Sanchez' to the summit - assuming Sanchez's make a return. I know it's an unusual thing to get excited about, but come on... nothing we can't touch! Call me a sucker for anything on a large scale. (Let's all be adults about that comment) :-P"
