Not sure why I am posting this other than perhaps looking for some sort of absolution. I am an old-school diehard pc gamer but one who has also had consoles on the side as the games used to be of a different order until recently when it seems every game is released on all platforms.
I have a gaming machine easily capable of running Skyrim but I think I am going to get the 360 version. Rationally, I know that the pc version will look and perform much better. However, I purchased both Fallout 3 and New Vegas on pc originally and then never got more than a quarter through until I got the subpar xbox version, and then blew through all content and dlcs in short order. I know this likely has something to do with the big screen tv and the seating. I know I can customize the pc to use the controller which I have in the past and could go through trouble of hooking up the pc to the tv, but seems like a lot of trouble.
Once again, not sure why I am posting this other than I know this site is frequented many other longer-in-the tooth gamers and maybe wanted to see if my experience (i.e. personally frightening and guilt-inducing deviation from the pc) has been at all shared.
