..and that is a lot of backwards flying dragons!Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 10:29 AM
Fucking love Skyrim but they really need to patch the Dragonborn DLC. Hope they also release it for the Xbox One.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 10:40 AM
And can't they tell TES Online is the follow-up we don't want?Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 10:44 AM
I can't wait for TESVI.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 10:53 AM
Stuff ESO, gimme Skyrim on my XOneTuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 10:55 AM
What's the issue you're having with the dragonborn DLC? I haven't had any issues since the major title update earlier last year. I wonder if Oblivion had better character faces and textures it might have sold around the same or more than skyrim. We can expect TES 6 sometime in 2016. Just because Skyrim released around 5 years after OblivionTuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 10:57 AM
20 million? holy shit, that means they have to make another one. That's a lot of money.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 11:02 AM
Personally, I enjoyed Oblivion more, but that's just my opinion. Nonetheless, Skyrim was a great game.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 11:06 AM
They could probably sell another 10 million units by porting it to the X1, I know I'd buy it again if they did!! Easily one of my favourite games of all time.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 11:10 AM
Absolutely loved this game from start to finish but id rather have fallout 4!Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 11:29 AM
#9 Same here. i still play the game from time to time. 170+ hours so far :)Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 11:35 AM
I must be the only person who's never had a single glitch with this game! Mind, now I've said that next time I boot it up it'll proper messed up lolTuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 11:52 AM
did anyone play the the elder scrolls online beta? wow what a terrible gameTuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 12:07 PM
Great game, but the dlc was just bland and boring for me, and a let down. Main game was good enough for 110 hours though. Overall I prefer Oblivion, and would rather see Fallout 4 next than another ES game. Just finished Fallout 3 and about to start New Vegas. Really getting into the Wasteland vibeTuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 01:14 PM
@13 I played TESO beta amd have to agree. Its no more than a badly done cross between guildwars 2 and dark age of Camelot. Character progression was quite good regarding the skill tree, but what a dull game, the quests R just so 1980'sTuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 01:30 PM
Does that include free codes given away with some Xbox bundles? My mate got a free code when he bought a slim console and gave it to me as my Skyrim disk was having some issues with not being able to load. Anyway, good for Bethesda and Skyrim. I thought it was a fantastic game and well deserving of the high praise it got almost everywhere.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 03:00 PM
By that logic #6 T3 shouldve been out earlier than it was because the second film was released 7 years after the first. I shouldve logic in inverted commas...Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 03:53 PM
Deserves it. Great game.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 04:37 PM
My bosses gave me a $25 gift certificate to Amazon for the holidays, so I bought the Legendary Edition which was priced at just $29.99. I've played... maybe eight hours of it so far. It's alright, I don't really see what all the hype was about.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 04:47 PM
20 million-ish copies...wow, that's a LOT of flowers being picked.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 05:12 PM
And to this day I can't even get through one of first quests for Brotherhood of Darkness (I check occasionally in hopes it was patched with no luck) Still loved the game and looking forward to ESO later this year. I definitely will at least try it out for a month to see if it can keep me hooked for more.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 06:13 PM
Syrim was amazing 10/10 But fallout NV is just that tiiiinnyy bit better ;pTuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 07:26 PM
I love when people come into Skyrim with some preconceived idea of what it should be for them, put a measly 8 hours into it, and has a verdict that goes against the majority of the people who played it YEARS ago. Seems representative! Not to mention the clueless hip-firers who keep confusing TES Online for an actual follow up to Skyrim... it is NOT the follow up to TES5; it is not even a Beth/Beth production! Get the BASICS down, then we can talk detailsTuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 08:36 PM
Why a MMO Bethesda? Because MMO subs make money? Like 20 million copies didn't make you money?Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 08:40 PM
I'd rather them work on Elder Scrolls 6 then Skyrim port to Xbox One! What are you people thinking? I already had my 150+ hours of Skyrim. Yeah, I'd still buy it again. ha!Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 09:33 PM
What is it with people hating on ESO? Have all of you played it? I have played the beta and quite enjoyed it. If you don't want to pay a sub then don't buy the game. I have no problem paying for MMOs, if you do, don't play them. And I would Re-buy Skyrim if they released it on the X-One. I'm all for it. Bring on the MMO, Redo Skyrim, Or give me a new Elder Scrolls. VI They keep making them, I'll keep buying them. Give me an HD of Morrowind, I'll buy it twice.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 09:55 PM
WOW! need to get back to SKYRIM! So much to do, such little gaming time! :( lolTuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 09:57 PM
@26 Lots of people are hating on ESO, well, because its not very good. (judging by the beta). And yes, i have played it.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 10:22 PM
@ 28 I don't get why though. I have found it very good and enjoyable. Have I not been playing the same beta as others? Cause I have been loving it each time, with each time being better than the last. I have had no problems and it has played pretty tight. Everyone I have played with has had a great time too. I have yet to have a bad experience for it. I feel bad that others haven't had as good of experience as I have had with it.Tuesday, January 28, 2014 @ 11:02 PM
I had never played any RPG's before Skyrim, and only played it because i had nothing else to play, but absolutely loved it and put over 300 hours into it! Such a brilliant game. Am eagerly awaiting to see what ESO will be like, and if they reproduced Skyrim onto the Xbox One i would quite happily lose another couple hundred hours of my life again!!!!Wednesday, January 29, 2014 @ 01:52 AM
"Does that include free codes given away with some Xbox bundles?" @ #16 yeap I'd say 7 million hardcopies sold across all platforms and the remaining 13 mill sold thru various digital distributions, 360 bundles, PSN, Steam, Deal of the week etcWednesday, January 29, 2014 @ 04:17 AM
So glad that the game was such a big success it definitely deserved it. I think across all of my play through's I have racked up over 300+ hours. I just hope that they kept the same quality of standard for elder scrolls online. If so I definitely will pick it up as well.Wednesday, January 29, 2014 @ 07:01 AM
Is this better on Xbox 360 or PS3?Wednesday, January 29, 2014 @ 10:06 AM
@33 REALLY???????Wednesday, January 29, 2014 @ 10:16 AM
#32 if you go into ESO with any preconceptions from skyrim you will be MASSIVELY disappointed. The graphics are stunning and my pc could only hack medium settings to avoid the game getting choppy in places and there is a TON of lore to find and read if your into that but in personal opinion those are the only two things I liked about the beta everything else was mediocre at best if I didn't outright hate it. Forget every morrowind, oblivion and skyrim experience you've had and go in with an open mind and you MAY enjoy it enough to pay for itMonday, March 31, 2014 @ 01:21 AM
They still didn't patch that repetition glitch when Selana talks in Dawnguard dlcSaturday, September 05, 2015 @ 09:31 PM
I hate it when your a vampire and you are trying to kill the emperor double and when the chef is trying to identify your race it freezes the game!Saturday, September 05, 2015 @ 09:31 PM

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has sold a whopping 20 million units, Bethesda has announced.
The publisher revealed the news via a press release overnight, but failed to clarify whether that number refers to units sold to customers or to retail. Regardless, it’s the best-selling title in the series.
Indeed, such is the RPG’s success that Wikipedia has it as the 20th best-selling game of all time, sandwiched between Nintendo giants Brain Age and Super Mario World. On the DS, Brain Age sold 20 million units, while Super Mario World for the SNES sold 20.6 million.
Later this year, a subscription MMO entry to the series is due to hit Xbox One, PS4 and PC. Bethesda will be hoping The Elder Scrols Online can build on Skyrim's success.
