"Should you play the PS3 version of Skyrim?" Me who only have PS3: Yes, now shut up. Edit: I have a PC now and i gotta say, Skyrim is indeed A LOT BETTER on PC
I played 70 + Hours Skyrim in PS3. i had no problem and it was real fun. In 2011 ıt WAS MASSIVE FUN!!!! Frame drops or loading times nothing to me. Cuz im old school gamer. All i care is what did they create and what they offer me. Thechnical things are the last things for me to concern
That's cool and all but I would argue that if a game crashes and corrupts your save file, it is a slight concern... But I'm with you on that games don't have to perform perfectly with 60fps and the highest resolutions to be enjoyable. Game breaking bugs is where I draw the line though.
Yeah every PS3 port of Bethesda games just came out awful. If I had to guess, maybe the audio was so good due to the PlayStation’s Blu-ray Discs? Thanks for watching!
Especially Fallout: New Vegas. Glad I got it on PC, and Fallout 3 alongside it, rather than the PS3 version of NV, as I've heard bad things about that port.
My Skyrim Journey in a short story: It started with the Skyrim save debacle on PS3. If you want a character past level 42ish...TOO BAD SAYS "The Todd." Then an update basically made my PS3 disc drive faulty. It was perfect with zero issues ever until immediately after an update, and then it malfunctioned half of the time. I limped it to gamestop to trade in for the new PS4. My first game "Assassin's Creed Unity" was a broken mess on new system and required 20 GB or more in updates. I became a PC gamer shortly after and never looked back. I love "Nolvus" Skyrim. The "other" became a glorified bluray player and MLB: The Show only.
lol. My first time playing Skyrim was on a ps3 fat and I can confirm that the loading times really were the worst thing ever. I just play Skyrim on PC now
I put HUNDREDS of hours into Skyrim on my fat model ps3, long loading screens, frame rate dips, none of it bothered me at the time. However my game never crashed or shut my ps3 down. I must have been lucky I guess.
I've played it for roughly 200 hours and I can say that it ran good enough for me, but older brother who played it on PC right beside me though... yeah, he said "good luck with this torture of a game".
When I first played skyrim on my ps3, I remember thinking to myself, "this seems a little slow and buggy". I just put it down to the game starting out and not "warming up yet" lol, now I know it genuinely has issues.
My PS3 Skyrim Save File bricked at level 34. I was a Stealth Archer and I remember it clearly because I realized first between my friends how important Enchanting was. That + Stealth Archer made me the only one who could progress the game on Master Difficulty. The game bricket when I was in Whiterun training smithing. I had single digit FPS and was already asking my parents to buy me a new PS3 (I thought it was PS3 related). Also, my loading screens took on average 1-2 minutes. I remember using my iPhone 4 to count it.
I played it in ps3 for years, but was lucky enough to never have a save corruption or game breaking bug. But glitches, characters flying, and yes, the frame rate was garbage as hell❤
@@charleykiser305 one that I didn't hd the same luck is fallout 4, Jesus Christ it crashed every 30 minutes, and visual glitches everywhere. Even got an save corrupted but for some reason it corrupted only one or two saves from a character so I've could continue playing.
Lot of weird things happened on my old ps3 version of the game aswell like walking mannequins, and shadows like beings moving in caves, was convinced it was cursed or something, but awesome at the same time.
I played on a 20" CRT, it looked great besides the somewhat blurred text. It ran... alright, only thing is later down in the game those loading screens. Still managed to finish the main + a couple guild quests. I can't play the PS3 version after having that backpack in the later releases!
As someone who still dosent have modern consoles pr pc hardware, the Skyrim version of PS3 is one of those games i truly enjoyed for hours, and surprisingly, i have never encountered a fatal bug... But when i download Fallout NV for the PS3, in the first hour of gameplay the game crashed
@@CatManDoom84 hahaha on pc it also runs just as bad. Memory leak problems. On ps3 you just disable auto saves, and you clear the engine cache each time you start the game by pressing r2, l2, and square if im not mistaken. It works pretty damn well. Managed to finish all dlcs plus a few runs on the ps3 and it wasn't that bad.
I stillown it and bought it day 1. graphics were 'mind blowing' until around 10 hours in where you had to restart the game every 30 mins to reset the lag/shit fps. Been playing on PC since 2013, and now in 2023 replaying again with a 4090 and like 200+ mods + enb @ 4k. Crazy how well this card handles this game. Can push 120+ fps easily but physics starts to break, seems engine wasn't meant to go beyond 60 fps. I was on a 970 for 10 years and couldn't even handle an enb without being at a 30-40 fps with decent mods @ 1080p. Temps at average as well, same goes for fan speeds. Only game thats cracked it up to the max has been cyberpunk with Path Tracing and even then still getting 80 fps average at 4k Sort of want to dust off my PS3 and hook up to my 4k and even 1080p I originally played it on to spot the differences xD. Especially that mushroom area in the game. Forgot what it was called but I t was a huge underground area with a bunch of blue growing mushrooms. Was mind blown back when I played on PS3
@@salatprinzvegg I preferred the 360 version I'm not trying to start a console war I had both consoles I liked both consoles but Skyrim on PS3 was trash
It might just be dependent on the system, or a lot of these were patched out, but I have an enormous save file on PS3 that I have had since 2013, more than 300+ hours, and most of these were shocking to me, I really haven’t had any of these issues outside the load times getting longer.
I still have a save of Skyrim on my ps3. Its near Raven rock where you can find those bandits after doing that quest for the miner. I just saved after exiting the mine and my game froze and i never picked it up since. Not until i got the PS4 special edition. Not as buggy but i sure do love seeing that blue screen pop up saying a error occured. Plus on the ps3 version there was a certain spot near Riften that i could not go near because it would always crash my game.
My skryrim straight up broke so bad that I could no longer go into blackreach. (Aka the one dungeon needed to complete the main story and a million other quests)
Did you play it right away on launch day? I'm asking because Bethesda actually fixed the issue with a patch. At least in my case they did. Went from single digit frame rates back up to its usual 25-ish fps. Took 'em a long time though. Must' ve been half a year or so.
i still play it on the ps3, and... well, my save file has like 11 mb, and yes i notice a LOT of sutters and horrible flamerate, but besides that, i still can have some fun, but maybe its time to create another character... goobye restoration dawnguard paladin 😢 lol anyways great video bro!
I somehow managed to platinum skyrim, AND get all the dlc achievements without too much fuss. however, loading times and framerate DID get a little bad towards the end. and OH GOD THE LOAD TIMES!!!
I liked the charm of the loading screens, where you could read about lore, and calmly plan your character’s next move. I feel the fast SSD loading times ruin that a bit
Recently got all the trophies for the ps3 port of skyrim, came around to rougly 130 hours of gameplay on that save file, and it wasnt completely horrendous, loading screens only ever got to the 2 min mark in the dlcs and graphics didnt look the greatest, but still was much more stable than fallout 3 on ps3. However this was on the legendary edditon, so potentially issues were fixed idk
Just went back and got the platinum today and completely agree wasn’t too bad. Loading times were worse and the save file got big. Sometimes had a bug where my controls would lock and I’d spin in a circle but still got the job done
I grew up with the Xbox 360 version, and for the longest time, i was actually playing it on a Xbox 360 Slim without the Hard Drive, so it was only running on internal storage. Yet the whole time it worked fine. Now my Xbox 360 does have a Hard Drive, and i’ve been trying it out again for nostalgia, and games not Backwards Compatible with newer Xbox consoles. So far it has been running just fine, but for some reason i couldn’t find my original character on my old profile, no clue why i would’ve deleted it. (unless i put it on another storage device i later used on my Xbox One, i had to format the memory so it could work) To this day it runs Skyrim just fine. Consistent 30FPS, which actually feels better than a dipping 60fps on other games. I also made a lot of saves on my old character before i got the hard drive and the game never deteriorated. Somehow though, it runs better when my Xbox 360 isn’t struggling to connect to internet (it barely can, Wi-Fi speed horrible, downloads take until the day Jesus returns, and i get signed in and out of Xbox Live). I was wondering why i was playing at 20fps for a while, and i didn’t remember it running this bad. Then as soon as it said i was disconnected from online, i felt like i was playing a next gen title lol. Besides internet issues, Xbox 360 runs amazing right now even though it collected a shit ton of dust and smears i never cleaned up even when I actively used it. It’s just annoying when i have to re-update games that are on the storage device i formatted, and because of the shit Wi-Fi speed, it can take from as short as 20 minutes, to literally half a day. I’m serious, Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 literally took half the day to install while sounding like a nuclear meltdown you could hear from the hallway. Only for me to have to install the episodes too, and when they finally installed they didn’t even install correctly so i couldn’t even play them. Luckily i found an Xbox One copy though that’s usable. (how did i go from what Skyrim platform i grew up with to everything about the Xbox 360?)
I also played Skyrim on Ps3 when it launched back in 2011, thankfully I managed to finish the game. I didn't get any of the DLC's as I was aware of the 5Mb Save File issues.
I remember the first time I bought skyrim for the ps3, I was so excited to play it, when I put the cd and boot it up, I started a new game but right in the wagon scene the game started glitching, the engine went nuts and the wagon started spinning like crazy and tossed me below the map, and because I didn't have control over my character the game was hard locked and the cd was just useless dead weight. Thanks todd 😊👍
All the Bethesda games were ticking time bombs on PS3, thats how i first experienced most of them. Fallout 3 had a glitch that would cause the loading screen to "tick" forever. It happened to me at Tenpenny Tower which was my residence. New Vegas was majorly unstable, I dont think i was able to get through everything without a few important things breaking. Skyrim gradually degraded over time, usually by the time your dragonborn was a G the game would shamelessly break down to lower single digit numbers and the very seams of the game would break.
But I actually remember Oblivion never "died" for me like the other games. The Gray Fox quest was broke though, you're meant to wait for an undisclosed short amount of time but he left me waiting eneternally 😂
Now that you mention it, I don’t recall oblivion on ps3 giving me any trouble at all. Fallout 3 and new Vegas were different stories though lol. Thanks for watching!
@@happygosunday It's because they actually took their time to port Oblivion to the Ps3! it came like a year later, and had improved lighting and post processing.
I used to play this on PS3 and still have it to this day. But ever since there are better versions out there like the game of the year edition and anniversary edition which lets you play the game at 60fps, this makes it really difficult to go back to the PS3 version even for me.
I played Skyrim on PS3 for years and never had too many issues. I saved lots too lol But I did get the texture bug very rarely. I assumed it was because the console was overheating. I think the save file thing may be something that affects all versions to a certain extent because of the marker system. The engine keeps adding more markers and has more to process...
Active PS3 player. Honestly never experienced any of these issues. Sure, the frame rate is a little choppy at times, and the load times are a bit long, but honestly, I play with auto saves on, make new saves, and have an over 7mb save with no issues whatsoever. Maybe I’m just lucky, who knows. And I do own a PS5 and have 100%’ed that version, really only doing the PS3 version for that extra 100% :P
Still playing modded ps3 version, none of the issues are here. and 5mb is a lie , it gets more laggy after 10mb that is not hard to reach but bathesta patched it to make it bearable. loading times still issue
If you walk a half hour at skyrim on ps3. Game slowly starts laggin like 10 15 fps and after some point you got a few second drops. And your ps3 gets very hot and stops working. It just stops you cant even turn off it in normal way.
@@necromax13 idk some parts of skyrim is extremly unoptimised. Specially around riften. Maybe i had a problem caused by 10k weight unit inventory or i found a feature that brokes game optimization. Some missions are buggy and if you leave them without complateing game loses frames
@@growlanser5600 Because it's the most convenient way i currently have of playing it. I have a 5600G with a 6700XT, but i prefer to play a handful of games chilling on my bed with my wife and cat on the ps3.
@@growlanser5600 Also because I got that Skyrim Legendary Edition years ago and ill play it until the universe suffers heat death or my ps3 blows up lol.
I always wondered whether PS3 Skyrim would run better with an SSD installed, preferably something ultra good like Samsung 860 Pro. Had this idea to install one for years on my PS3, but ended up selling it because there were no games left to play.
I'm currently running Skyrim on an SSD on PS3 Super Slim. I'm going to do my best to commit to a full playthrough. So far, I've actually been enjoying myself. There are still frame rate issues in some areas but so far the loading times have been decent. I probably won't know about the bugs until way later. Strangely enough, The Xbox 360 playthrough that i was playing keeps crashing so I gave up on it lol.
having the SSD and running the game from the SSD would help a lot. The problem with the ps3 as opposed to the 360 is that while it has roughly the same amount of ram (512mb), it's divided in two chunks, one for ram and the one for vram (as opposed to the 360 which had straight up 512 mb unified). Skyrim squeezes everything out of the ram, and with savefiles being so awfully optimized on bethesda games (they definitely didn't need to be that large at the time lol), the ps3 runs out of ram quickly when also needing to have that savefile loaded in.
If for some reason you want to do a playthrough of Skyrim on the PS3 in 2024 I highly suggest that you: 1) Do not use a FAT PS3 model. 2) Upgrade to an SSD. 3) Play the digital PSN version or pirate it with CFW, absolutely avoid using the blu-ray drive. 4) Install all the game updates. 5) Turn autosave off. Then your experience will pretty much be stellar without any of the problems mentioned in the video. I know because I do play it right now.
Playing the PS3 version without the Autosave feels like you are running on an SSD when it comes to loading times as someone who got the Platinum trophy and the DLC trophies for the game back in 2019. But God help you if you forgot to save and then the Infinite loading screen hits you, you'll lose sometimes 1-2 hours of progress. Heck, it would crash the console because of it.
The PS3 had an unorthodox Hardware architecture, not Software. Further most problems you describe were fixed in 2012 with patch 1.04. Not all, but most. If you do not take my word for it, there is an article from IGN…and that guy used a 13 Mbyte save file Look for Skyrim's PlayStation 3 Fix: Does it Actually Work? on the internet. Sometimes you have to be patient. Some RPGs age like wine, see the Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077.
I am probably one of the few people here that have only played Skyrim on PS3. I've spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours on this version so I have plenty of experience with the problems. The PS3 version of this game is probably THE most broken game on PS3 aside from New Vegas. One common minor fix to the crashing is to turn off all autosaves and to never sprint when traveling the open world. Even then, there is still spots in the world that will 100% crash your game. One notorious area actually being right outside Whiterun. Keep in mind this is all exclusive to the PS3. The framerate is atrocious from start to finish of a playthrough. The more you play, the worse it gets. The loading times get worse over time as well. The questbreaking bugs are far more prevalent as well. After around 100 hours into a playthrough, (Around Level 50), the game becomes completely unplayable, especially if you are doing the DLCs. I do not know how all these years I put up with it. It really has to be played to believed.
So it's the number of saves that's the issue? Couldn't you just delete all the older ones every now and then? I almost got Skyrim on PS3, but I wound up getting it on my tablet/laptop hybrid instead, which ran it at about 15fps on minimum settings. It gave me a reason to build a PC though.
Its amazing they could even get it playable on PS3 with 256mMb of Ram, I wish PS3 had been Ram upgradable. I believe a modestly sized SSD may have been an option 2 or 3 years after launch to improve load speeds. The technology on the Switch is FAR in advance of the PS3 with a Maxwell capable Tegra X1 and 4 whole Gigs of Ram to play with.. The most amazing thing i ever saw running on the PS3 was Far Cry 4...just how?
As someone who never fast travels complaining about load times during fast traveling is...an amusing complaint to have given how much faster it still is...but the rest of the time I can sympathize.
I completed Skyrim on PS3 back in 2013 and I've finally got round to playing the game on Xbox 360 and it's a much better experience. I still have nostalgia for the PS3 port which could do with an SSD to make it load a bit faster...
I come from a future where I’m playing Skyrim for the very first time but on a PS5 at a silly smooth 60fps, 4K resolution and load times that take 2 seconds. I’m glad I never gave this game the time of day on PS3!
Yes. The first time I played this game was on ps3. My friend let me borrow it. I liked the game but hated the fps issue. I played it on ps4 and Xbox. I'm a Sony guy but I bought an Xbox from my coworker because I'm a killer instinct fan. So then i got my first gaming pc in 2020 and got Skyrim. PC Skyrim is so much better. But no lie I do feel nostalgia from ps3 Skyrim.
My first experience with Skyrim was on the PS3 and really did not have too many problems with it until Dawnguard. Dawnguard broke my game and I have all of the Achevements in it except for the Werewolf and Vampire skill tree related ones. 400 plus hours on the PS3 version alone. lol. Sure I had a few crashes and other things like the Blood on the Ice glitch where that Necromancers Amulet can get stuck in ones inventory if you mess up that quest. PlayStation players have always gotten the short end of things when it comes to Bethesda titles. Later got the game on PC and had a much better experience. Still feel bad about all of my friends who still play Bethesda games on PS.
I strongly disagree with the kids are spoiled with their SSDs part, because even with NVMe SSDs, Starfield takes absolute ages to load from one instanced area to another. It really has me thinking if it's the secondary storage medium, or Bethesda have no idea how to efficiently load areas and content properly.
First time I ever played Skyrim was on PS3 and before I got my hands untied, when I jumped from the tower to the next building, I didn't make it across and a soft freeze occurred at the death scene. Funny funny stuff.
I remember getting a 1G save because I would take every item I get and put them in one chest in the dlc home opening that one chest took like over 2 minute and my ps3 started to die after started with randomly turning off when playing that one save and then every game then it died
When i was young, around i wanna say 2012, I was playing skyrim on my ps3, i loved the game i always thought fantasy was cool but skyrim really solidified it for me. Well after like around 6 months of playing the game I was heartbroken when all of the sudden my ps3 went black, as if the darn thing turned off on me, i went to turn it back on but i couldn't and the ps3 light was flashing red unbeknownst to me, that was the last time i would use that ps3 again. also i vividly remember being in haelga's bunkhouse when it happened
Eu joguei skyrim no meu PS3 super slim, e apesar de toda hora ter bugs, o jogo nao carregar direito, as telas de loading algumas vezes durarem mais de 1 minuto, e muitas vezes o jogo so crashava e eu tinha que desligar o PS3 e ligar de novo, eu amei cada minuto do jogo, e eu vi que ele tava em promoção e comprei pro meu novo console
He's not lying! I was a 19 when I bought it day one for the ps3. It kept crashing my ps3 and the loading took forever. Big battles would drop to 5fps. My buddy picked it for his ancient 9600 gt laptop and it looked better than the ps3 version.
I somehow started blind with the ps3 version when I was a kid and it went okay without anything breaking, at least from what I remember. I was 13 and just kinda did what I wanted though
I played my first playthrough of Skyrim on ps3 and my save got bugged very late into the game and I couldn’t continue but I loved it so much I made another account and did it all over 😂
i still haven't completed any of the DLC for Skyrim since my PS3 save got corrupted right around when Dawnguard got delayed. even since getting it on PC i still can't get into it again.
I remember when i played my ps3 copy that sometimes the beards would be textureless blue and when i did fus ro dah my game would drop to 1 frame a second for a solid 5 minutes or longer. No dlc btw
I'm a PlayStation guy and even I can agree that the Cell processor in the PS3 was abysmal. It was good for first party games but as you said, third party games ran like a salt covered slug...Uncharted and Resistance was cool though, haha.
I had some asshole named "Deefor the Labrador" Harass me and call me a PC elitist over this... I didn't fucking make the PS3 version of Skyrim, Then again people like him are why the Sonic fanbase is so infamous... But yeah, only half the RAM for games and the other half locked off to the OS? Bethesda games need that RAM.
Bro a few months ago after revisiting the PS3 I was like hey why not platinum the PS3 version. That would be fun and enjoyable. Never.... Has a fun trophy would be more of a enduring job that tried my patience. The last 3 days.... Averaging 6-8 times a day I had to restart the console because game froze and yes frame rate was garbage. Last trophy was civil war.... The battles I had to hope "plz don't freeze plz don't freeze"
I rented the PS3 version of Skyrim on GameFly just around the time it was released in late 2011 and only played a small chunk of it. Thought I’d give it a try because it was the big game at the time. However, I wasn’t really into RPGs and got bored with it… As I got older, I eventually got into Fallout 3 and New Vegas then eventually got Skyrim for PS4 and played the holy living hell out of it!
I never got to experience the bugs or glitches on the PS3 version of Skyrim but I sure got to see the nonsense with Fallout 3 and New Vegas as I did play those on PS3.
Sony made the mistake of putting all it's resources into the cell processor.. They could have had a x86 cpu, possibly the AMD phenom processors and Could have had 512mb system memory and 512mb gpu memory with a better equipped gpu, it would have been an undeniable generation.
Dude is froze so many times on my ps3 and when i say froze i mean the game crashed so i had to restart the system and continue from my last save i had before it froze on me
Is it true the PS3 version could corrupt your save file outright? If that never happened to you you should be grateful at least for that. I can put up with a lot of shit including piss poor framerate (I grew up on Perfect Dark for N64, I know a thing or two about single digit framerate) but getting my save file corrupted from a game I sank 100+ hours is too fucking much.
I dealt with skyrim on ps3 because I went through 3 360s within 6 years as they all got red ring. Never had any kind of issues like this with any other console. And now in 2024 with the homebrew scene you cant even mod a 360 without becoming a psuedo-engineer. Worst console ever
I remember playing skyrim on ps3 it was awful After like 100 hours (idk how i managed that) one of my saves got corrupted and the other was an autosave under water without much air, so that save was doomed as well Needless to say i bought the game on ps4 and pc several years later
I'm new to Skyrim bought it for €3 in March for PS3, ya loading time's are irritating, if you go to fast on a horse or pull out a weapon about to fight sometimes the game freezes. But I'm having a great time, I suppose a fella in his 40s could care less about graphics and fps. The only thing really bothers me are the loading time's, I love the game so much I hate waiting and when it does freeze, it is annoying, but I think the graphics are nice on PS3 and I won't be forking out crazy money for a ps5 that's not backward compatible for ps1 to PS3 games. I'm done with Sony, they are traitor's to people like me in the 90s that built up the PlayStation brand,
@happygosunday only time he started to break is when it kept spawning druagr in cities and place I go to some times death overlords can whip out a whole city
Wow a game I never finished. And yes glitches sometimes. Until I put a SSD in the ps3 the load times unbearable. Felt like 30mins to start the game on HDD.
90% of PS3 ports are bad but Skyrim managed to surprise me with how bad this game is on the PS3, one of my biggest regrets I had with Skyrim was buying the PS3 version back in 2011
@@the_troll309 Yes, 90%...almost every fucking game between 2006 and 2010 runs better on the Xbox 360, that's a fact, things only started to get balanced on the PS3 from 2011 onwards when the generation was already heading towards the end
I finished GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect trilogy on the ps3, MAN was an awful experience, my ps3 crashed like several times after the marathons i played on each of those games, but skyrim for real was unplayable so i didn´t ever finish skyrim, maybe someday i´ll play it again on a decent remake or something
I played all the Bethesda games on PS3. Oblivion, fallout 3, NV and Skyrim. I had no idea how bad things truly where back then.
Same. Going back now is almost impossible. Thanks for watching!
Oblivion on PS3 was actually really quite good, it was the best console version at the time.

That's cool and all but I would argue that if a game crashes and corrupts your save file, it is a slight concern... But I'm with you on that games don't have to perform perfectly with 60fps and the highest resolutions to be enjoyable. Game breaking bugs is where I draw the line though.
I never had to worry about the PS3 version couse I didn't own Skyrim on PS3 I got it for PC the best version
the biggest problem was that your savefile could become corrupted and unloadable if you played too long
Makes sense, I guess I'm the same way and I guess that's why I'm still playing PS3 in 2024

Bethesda and PS3 are always a bad combination. It is funny that the audio in this version is so crisp that you can mod it into the PC version
Yeah every PS3 port of Bethesda games just came out awful. If I had to guess, maybe the audio was so good due to the PlayStation’s Blu-ray Discs? Thanks for watching!
Especially Fallout: New Vegas. Glad I got it on PC, and Fallout 3 alongside it, rather than the PS3 version of NV, as I've heard bad things about that port.
My Skyrim Journey in a short story:
It started with the Skyrim save debacle on PS3. If you want a character past level 42ish...TOO BAD SAYS "The Todd." Then an update basically made my PS3 disc drive faulty. It was perfect with zero issues ever until immediately after an update, and then it malfunctioned half of the time. I limped it to gamestop to trade in for the new PS4. My first game "Assassin's Creed Unity" was a broken mess on new system and required 20 GB or more in updates. I became a PC gamer shortly after and never looked back. I love "Nolvus" Skyrim. The "other" became a glorified bluray player and MLB: The Show only.
Except for Oblivion which was actually good.

Probably. @@davidedelvecchio7004
lol. My first time playing Skyrim was on a ps3 fat and I can confirm that the loading times really were the worst thing ever. I just play Skyrim on PC now
Oblivion was the game that killed my fat model. good times, good times.
I put HUNDREDS of hours into Skyrim on my fat model ps3, long loading screens, frame rate dips, none of it bothered me at the time. However my game never crashed or shut my ps3 down. I must have been lucky I guess.

I've played it for roughly 200 hours and I can say that it ran good enough for me, but older brother who played it on PC right beside me though... yeah, he said "good luck with this torture of a game".

I remember it never being that bad, but I was 11 years old.
My PS3 Skyrim Save File bricked at level 34. I was a Stealth Archer and I remember it clearly because I realized first between my friends how important Enchanting was. That + Stealth Archer made me the only one who could progress the game on Master Difficulty. The game bricket when I was in Whiterun training smithing. I had single digit FPS and was already asking my parents to buy me a new PS3 (I thought it was PS3 related).
Also, my loading screens took on average 1-2 minutes. I remember using my iPhone 4 to count it.
I played it in ps3 for years, but was lucky enough to never have a save corruption or game breaking bug. But glitches, characters flying, and yes, the frame rate was garbage as hell❤
You're lucky dude I had my Skyrim save file corrupted it pissed me off I had the 360 version after that
@@charleykiser305 one that I didn't hd the same luck is fallout 4, Jesus Christ it crashed every 30 minutes, and visual glitches everywhere. Even got an save corrupted but for some reason it corrupted only one or two saves from a character so I've could continue playing.
It seems Bethesda games crash on PlayStation alot
Lot of weird things happened on my old ps3 version of the game aswell like walking mannequins, and shadows like beings moving in caves, was convinced it was cursed or something, but awesome at the same time.
I played on a 20" CRT, it looked great besides the somewhat blurred text. It ran... alright, only thing is later down in the game those loading screens. Still managed to finish the main + a couple guild quests. I can't play the PS3 version after having that backpack in the later releases!
As someone who still dosent have modern consoles pr pc hardware, the Skyrim version of PS3 is one of those games i truly enjoyed for hours, and surprisingly, i have never encountered a fatal bug...
But when i download Fallout NV for the PS3, in the first hour of gameplay the game crashed
New vegas was insanely awfully ported to the PS3. There was a way to counteract all the problems though!
@@necromax13 pc? lol
@@CatManDoom84 hahaha on pc it also runs just as bad. Memory leak problems.
On ps3 you just disable auto saves, and you clear the engine cache each time you start the game by pressing r2, l2, and square if im not mistaken. It works pretty damn well. Managed to finish all dlcs plus a few runs on the ps3 and it wasn't that bad.
I never had any of these problems on ps3 except the fps problem and sometimes on rare occasion a loading screen crash.
I'm playing on ps3 now. beat both dlcs also.
im also playing on ps3 now, after watching this video is it even worth it? little sad over it
@@prodstvnk I surprisingly didn't have any bugs. It ran flawlessly with all dlcs running at once.
oh nice :D thanks . i just bought a house in whiterun im still pretty early in@@truthlight2816
Did turn off the auto save right
Never played the ps3 version but it seems like it’s a miracle the thing ever ran. Shame on Todd
I stillown it and bought it day 1. graphics were 'mind blowing' until around 10 hours in where you had to restart the game every 30 mins to reset the lag/shit fps.
Been playing on PC since 2013, and now in 2023 replaying again with a 4090 and like 200+ mods + enb @ 4k. Crazy how well this card handles this game. Can push 120+ fps easily but physics starts to break, seems engine wasn't meant to go beyond 60 fps. I was on a 970 for 10 years and couldn't even handle an enb without being at a 30-40 fps with decent mods @ 1080p. Temps at average as well, same goes for fan speeds. Only game thats cracked it up to the max has been cyberpunk with Path Tracing and even then still getting 80 fps average at 4k
Sort of want to dust off my PS3 and hook up to my 4k and even 1080p I originally played it on to spot the differences xD.
Especially that mushroom area in the game. Forgot what it was called but I t was a huge underground area with a bunch of blue growing mushrooms. Was mind blown back when I played on PS3
@@cloudboysmusic5223 I know how that was I had the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions
Ps3 version starts lagging at a save file size of about 10mb
@@salatprinzvegg I preferred the 360 version I'm not trying to start a console war I had both consoles I liked both consoles but Skyrim on PS3 was trash
@charleykiser305 ayo those times are over for me as well xD
I fully agree. They did a rly rly bad job with the ps3 port
I remember checking the wiki often for what I was doing in-game, and seeing all the bugs that were documented for the PS3 version.
It might just be dependent on the system, or a lot of these were patched out, but I have an enormous save file on PS3 that I have had since 2013, more than 300+ hours, and most of these were shocking to me, I really haven’t had any of these issues outside the load times getting longer.
I still have a save of Skyrim on my ps3. Its near Raven rock where you can find those bandits after doing that quest for the miner. I just saved after exiting the mine and my game froze and i never picked it up since. Not until i got the PS4 special edition. Not as buggy but i sure do love seeing that blue screen pop up saying a error occured. Plus on the ps3 version there was a certain spot near Riften that i could not go near because it would always crash my game.
My skryrim straight up broke so bad that I could no longer go into blackreach. (Aka the one dungeon needed to complete the main story and a million other quests)
I played 360 growing up, I see now that I was spoiled
Same issue happened with Fallout 3 and NV on PS3, but I had a huge save and actually never had this problem with Skyrim on PS3
Did you play it right away on launch day? I'm asking because Bethesda actually fixed the issue with a patch. At least in my case they did. Went from single digit frame rates back up to its usual 25-ish fps. Took 'em a long time though. Must' ve been half a year or so.
I've played fallout 3 and new vegas all the dlc on ps3 no issue expect a few crashes but my save file is still good
i still play it on the ps3, and... well, my save file has like 11 mb, and yes i notice a LOT of sutters and horrible flamerate, but besides that, i still can have some fun, but maybe its time to create another character... goobye restoration dawnguard paladin 😢 lol anyways great video bro!
Rip. Thanks for watching!
Think God I never had the PS3 version of Skyrim

@@wafflboix I agree it's a good game Skyrim is one of my favorites but the PS3 port was trash

I somehow managed to platinum skyrim, AND get all the dlc achievements without too much fuss. however, loading times and framerate DID get a little bad towards the end.
and OH GOD THE LOAD TIMES!!!
I still play this on my ps3 and somehow i never encountered these issues, maybe because i switched to an ssd or the auto save is turned off
It's because Bethesda fixed all these issues few months after the release.
@@Shibu_PL they didnt fix it completely i am pretty sure.
3:02 is still more smooth than fallout new Vegas on ps3
Went from PS3 to PS5 Pro Skyrim……….i couldn’t finish PS3 Skyrim it was that bad. Broken quests and crashing and sloooooooow AF! 😂
I liked the charm of the loading screens, where you could read about lore, and calmly plan your character’s next move. I feel the fast SSD loading times ruin that a bit
Recently got all the trophies for the ps3 port of skyrim, came around to rougly 130 hours of gameplay on that save file, and it wasnt completely horrendous, loading screens only ever got to the 2 min mark in the dlcs and graphics didnt look the greatest, but still was much more stable than fallout 3 on ps3.
However this was on the legendary edditon, so potentially issues were fixed idk
Just went back and got the platinum today and completely agree wasn’t too bad. Loading times were worse and the save file got big. Sometimes had a bug where my controls would lock and I’d spin in a circle but still got the job done
I grew up with the Xbox 360 version, and for the longest time, i was actually playing it on a Xbox 360 Slim without the Hard Drive, so it was only running on internal storage. Yet the whole time it worked fine. Now my Xbox 360 does have a Hard Drive, and i’ve been trying it out again for nostalgia, and games not Backwards Compatible with newer Xbox consoles. So far it has been running just fine, but for some reason i couldn’t find my original character on my old profile, no clue why i would’ve deleted it. (unless i put it on another storage device i later used on my Xbox One, i had to format the memory so it could work)
To this day it runs Skyrim just fine. Consistent 30FPS, which actually feels better than a dipping 60fps on other games. I also made a lot of saves on my old character before i got the hard drive and the game never deteriorated. Somehow though, it runs better when my Xbox 360 isn’t struggling to connect to internet (it barely can, Wi-Fi speed horrible, downloads take until the day Jesus returns, and i get signed in and out of Xbox Live). I was wondering why i was playing at 20fps for a while, and i didn’t remember it running this bad. Then as soon as it said i was disconnected from online, i felt like i was playing a next gen title lol.
Besides internet issues, Xbox 360 runs amazing right now even though it collected a shit ton of dust and smears i never cleaned up even when I actively used it. It’s just annoying when i have to re-update games that are on the storage device i formatted, and because of the shit Wi-Fi speed, it can take from as short as 20 minutes, to literally half a day. I’m serious, Minecraft Story Mode Season 2 literally took half the day to install while sounding like a nuclear meltdown you could hear from the hallway. Only for me to have to install the episodes too, and when they finally installed they didn’t even install correctly so i couldn’t even play them. Luckily i found an Xbox One copy though that’s usable.
(how did i go from what Skyrim platform i grew up with to everything about the Xbox 360?)
I play Skyrim on PS3, my save has already reached 18 MB. I still struggle a lot with this version, but as time went by, the game stopped crashing.
I also played Skyrim on Ps3 when it launched back in 2011, thankfully I managed to finish the game. I didn't get any of the DLC's as I was aware of the 5Mb Save File issues.
The older god of war games 1/2/3 are much better then modern god of war games
The new ones are just interactive movies
I remember the first time I bought skyrim for the ps3, I was so excited to play it, when I put the cd and boot it up, I started a new game but right in the wagon scene the game started glitching, the engine went nuts and the wagon started spinning like crazy and tossed me below the map, and because I didn't have control over my character the game was hard locked and the cd was just useless dead weight. Thanks todd 😊👍
All the Bethesda games were ticking time bombs on PS3, thats how i first experienced most of them.
Fallout 3 had a glitch that would cause the loading screen to "tick" forever. It happened to me at Tenpenny Tower which was my residence.
New Vegas was majorly unstable, I dont think i was able to get through everything without a few important things breaking.
Skyrim gradually degraded over time, usually by the time your dragonborn was a G the game would shamelessly break down to lower single digit numbers and the very seams of the game would break.
But I actually remember Oblivion never "died" for me like the other games. The Gray Fox quest was broke though, you're meant to wait for an undisclosed short amount of time but he left me waiting eneternally 😂
Now that you mention it, I don’t recall oblivion on ps3 giving me any trouble at all. Fallout 3 and new Vegas were different stories though lol. Thanks for watching!
@@happygosunday It's because they actually took their time to port Oblivion to the Ps3! it came like a year later, and had improved lighting and post processing.
Oblivion is the only Bethesda game I had on PS3 I had the other Bethesda games on pc
Oblivion is the only Bethesda game I had on PS3 the other Bethesda games I had on PC
I used to play this on PS3 and still have it to this day. But ever since there are better versions out there like the game of the year edition and anniversary edition which lets you play the game at 60fps, this makes it really difficult to go back to the PS3 version even for me.
I played Skyrim on PS3 for years and never had too many issues. I saved lots too lol
But I did get the texture bug very rarely. I assumed it was because the console was overheating.
I think the save file thing may be something that affects all versions to a certain extent because of the marker system. The engine keeps adding more markers and has more to process...
I first played skyrim on ps3 but the hard drive broke no idea why, so now I'm playing it on ps4 and it is going fine
Active PS3 player. Honestly never experienced any of these issues. Sure, the frame rate is a little choppy at times, and the load times are a bit long, but honestly, I play with auto saves on, make new saves, and have an over 7mb save with no issues whatsoever. Maybe I’m just lucky, who knows. And I do own a PS5 and have 100%’ed that version, really only doing the PS3 version for that extra 100% :P
This was the first version of Skyrim I played.
I knew I wasn’t crazy a kid when I said, “Huh…..this feels kinda slow compared to my friends Xbox.”
Still playing modded ps3 version, none of the issues are here. and 5mb is a lie , it gets more laggy after 10mb that is not hard to reach but bathesta patched it to make it bearable. loading times still issue
So you’re telling me that if I update the game, it won’t be that shitty?
Also is there a mod to make it not trash?
@Patxgib Im still playing it , its awesome
@@zorororonoraroro what update are you on and are using any mods?
@Patxgib the last update that there was , I play anniversary edition mod, you cna find it on youtube, its super good
If you walk a half hour at skyrim on ps3. Game slowly starts laggin like 10 15 fps and after some point you got a few second drops. And your ps3 gets very hot and stops working. It just stops you cant even turn off it in normal way.
BS. I'm currently going through yet another skyrim character on my ps3. It's not that extremely bad, and my ps3 is OLD.
@@necromax13 idk some parts of skyrim is extremly unoptimised. Specially around riften. Maybe i had a problem caused by 10k weight unit inventory or i found a feature that brokes game optimization. Some missions are buggy and if you leave them without complateing game loses frames
@necromax13 why are you playing it on PS3?
@@growlanser5600 Because it's the most convenient way i currently have of playing it.
I have a 5600G with a 6700XT, but i prefer to play a handful of games chilling on my bed with my wife and cat on the ps3.
@@growlanser5600 Also because I got that Skyrim Legendary Edition years ago and ill play it until the universe suffers heat death or my ps3 blows up lol.
I always wondered whether PS3 Skyrim would run better with an SSD installed, preferably something ultra good like Samsung 860 Pro. Had this idea to install one for years on my PS3, but ended up selling it because there were no games left to play.
I'm currently running Skyrim on an SSD on PS3 Super Slim. I'm going to do my best to commit to a full playthrough. So far, I've actually been enjoying myself. There are still frame rate issues in some areas but so far the loading times have been decent. I probably won't know about the bugs until way later.
Strangely enough, The Xbox 360 playthrough that i was playing keeps crashing so I gave up on it lol.
having the SSD and running the game from the SSD would help a lot. The problem with the ps3 as opposed to the 360 is that while it has roughly the same amount of ram (512mb), it's divided in two chunks, one for ram and the one for vram (as opposed to the 360 which had straight up 512 mb unified). Skyrim squeezes everything out of the ram, and with savefiles being so awfully optimized on bethesda games (they definitely didn't need to be that large at the time lol), the ps3 runs out of ram quickly when also needing to have that savefile loaded in.
Was around level 70 when I got a game breaking but that didn’t allow me to complete the thieves guild quest
If for some reason you want to do a playthrough of Skyrim on the PS3 in 2024 I highly suggest that you:
1) Do not use a FAT PS3 model.
2) Upgrade to an SSD.
3) Play the digital PSN version or pirate it with CFW, absolutely avoid using the blu-ray drive.
4) Install all the game updates.
5) Turn autosave off.
Then your experience will pretty much be stellar without any of the problems mentioned in the video. I know because I do play it right now.
Playing the PS3 version without the Autosave feels like you are running on an SSD when it comes to loading times as someone who got the Platinum trophy and the DLC trophies for the game back in 2019. But God help you if you forgot to save and then the Infinite loading screen hits you, you'll lose sometimes 1-2 hours of progress. Heck, it would crash the console because of it.
The PS3 had an unorthodox Hardware architecture, not Software. Further most problems you describe were fixed in 2012 with patch 1.04. Not all, but most. If you do not take my word for it, there is an article from IGN…and that guy used a 13 Mbyte save file
Look for Skyrim's PlayStation 3 Fix: Does it Actually Work? on the internet.
Sometimes you have to be patient. Some RPGs age like wine, see the Witcher 3, or Cyberpunk 2077.
I am probably one of the few people here that have only played Skyrim on PS3. I've spent hundreds upon hundreds of hours on this version so I have plenty of experience with the problems.
The PS3 version of this game is probably THE most broken game on PS3 aside from New Vegas. One common minor fix to the crashing is to turn off all autosaves and to never sprint when traveling the open world. Even then, there is still spots in the world that will 100% crash your game. One notorious area actually being right outside Whiterun. Keep in mind this is all exclusive to the PS3.
The framerate is atrocious from start to finish of a playthrough. The more you play, the worse it gets. The loading times get worse over time as well. The questbreaking bugs are far more prevalent as well. After around 100 hours into a playthrough, (Around Level 50), the game becomes completely unplayable, especially if you are doing the DLCs.
I do not know how all these years I put up with it. It really has to be played to believed.
Dude no way I remember yelling at my brother thinking he saved over my save when I was really young😂
Was the save file issue fixed in the ps3 slim? I had 100+ hours and never experienced that
Actually beating a Bethesda game on PS3 is a greater challenge then anything Skyrim can throw at you.
So it's the number of saves that's the issue? Couldn't you just delete all the older ones every now and then?
I almost got Skyrim on PS3, but I wound up getting it on my tablet/laptop hybrid instead, which ran it at about 15fps on minimum settings. It gave me a reason to build a PC though.
Its amazing they could even get it playable on PS3 with 256mMb of Ram, I wish PS3 had been Ram upgradable.
I believe a modestly sized SSD may have been an option 2 or 3 years after launch to improve load speeds.
The technology on the Switch is FAR in advance of the PS3 with a Maxwell capable Tegra X1 and 4 whole Gigs of Ram to play with..
The most amazing thing i ever saw running on the PS3 was Far Cry 4...just how?
As someone who never fast travels complaining about load times during fast traveling is...an amusing complaint to have given how much faster it still is...but the rest of the time I can sympathize.
I completed Skyrim on PS3 back in 2013 and I've finally got round to playing the game on Xbox 360 and it's a much better experience. I still have nostalgia for the PS3 port which could do with an SSD to make it load a bit faster...
I come from a future where I’m playing Skyrim for the very first time but on a PS5 at a silly smooth 60fps, 4K resolution and load times that take 2 seconds. I’m glad I never gave this game the time of day on PS3!
Yes. The first time I played this game was on ps3. My friend let me borrow it. I liked the game but hated the fps issue. I played it on ps4 and Xbox. I'm a Sony guy but I bought an Xbox from my coworker because I'm a killer instinct fan. So then i got my first gaming pc in 2020 and got Skyrim. PC Skyrim is so much better. But no lie I do feel nostalgia from ps3 Skyrim.
My first experience with Skyrim was on the PS3 and really did not have too many problems with it until Dawnguard. Dawnguard broke my game and I have all of the Achevements in it except for the Werewolf and Vampire skill tree related ones. 400 plus hours on the PS3 version alone. lol. Sure I had a few crashes and other things like the Blood on the Ice glitch where that Necromancers Amulet can get stuck in ones inventory if you mess up that quest. PlayStation players have always gotten the short end of things when it comes to Bethesda titles. Later got the game on PC and had a much better experience. Still feel bad about all of my friends who still play Bethesda games on PS.
I strongly disagree with the kids are spoiled with their SSDs part, because even with NVMe SSDs, Starfield takes absolute ages to load from one instanced area to another. It really has me thinking if it's the secondary storage medium, or Bethesda have no idea how to efficiently load areas and content properly.
First time I ever played Skyrim was on PS3 and before I got my hands untied, when I jumped from the tower to the next building, I didn't make it across and a soft freeze occurred at the death scene. Funny funny stuff.
Sounds about right lmao
I remember getting a 1G save because I would take every item I get and put them in one chest in the dlc home opening that one chest took like over 2 minute and my ps3 started to die after started with randomly turning off when playing that one save and then every game then it died
When i was young, around i wanna say 2012, I was playing skyrim on my ps3, i loved the game i always thought fantasy was cool but skyrim really solidified it for me.
Well after like around 6 months of playing the game I was heartbroken when all of the sudden my ps3 went black, as if the darn thing turned off on me, i went to turn it back on but i couldn't and the ps3 light was flashing red
unbeknownst to me, that was the last time i would use that ps3 again.
also i vividly remember being in haelga's bunkhouse when it happened
i remember playing this on a CRT TV in my own room while my mom was blasted on speed . Good times
Eu joguei skyrim no meu PS3 super slim, e apesar de toda hora ter bugs, o jogo nao carregar direito, as telas de loading algumas vezes durarem mais de 1 minuto, e muitas vezes o jogo so crashava e eu tinha que desligar o PS3 e ligar de novo, eu amei cada minuto do jogo, e eu vi que ele tava em promoção e comprei pro meu novo console
He's not lying! I was a 19 when I bought it day one for the ps3. It kept crashing my ps3 and the loading took forever. Big battles would drop to 5fps. My buddy picked it for his ancient 9600 gt laptop and it looked better than the ps3 version.
Some of my best gaming memories are playing the PS3 version of skyrim as a kid. I knew it was the shittiest version but it was all I had.
Played to level 90 with 400 hours. Never hat problems really only fps drops.
I somehow started blind with the ps3 version when I was a kid and it went okay without anything breaking, at least from what I remember. I was 13 and just kinda did what I wanted though
I played my first playthrough of Skyrim on ps3 and my save got bugged very late into the game and I couldn’t continue but I loved it so much I made another account and did it all over 😂
i still haven't completed any of the DLC for Skyrim since my PS3 save got corrupted right around when Dawnguard got delayed. even since getting it on PC i still can't get into it again.
I remember when i played my ps3 copy that sometimes the beards would be textureless blue and when i did fus ro dah my game would drop to 1 frame a second for a solid 5 minutes or longer. No dlc btw
I'm a PlayStation guy and even I can agree that the Cell processor in the PS3 was abysmal. It was good for first party games but as you said, third party games ran like a salt covered slug...Uncharted and Resistance was cool though, haha.
I played Skyrim on my 360 slim, then one day it never turned on… but it was awesome while it lasted!
I had some asshole named "Deefor the Labrador" Harass me and call me a PC elitist over this...
I didn't fucking make the PS3 version of Skyrim, Then again people like him are why the Sonic fanbase is so infamous...
But yeah, only half the RAM for games and the other half locked off to the OS? Bethesda games need that RAM.
15-30 second load times?! That's like playing Fallout 4 on a modern PC with an NVMe!!! 🤣🤣
Bro a few months ago after revisiting the PS3 I was like hey why not platinum the PS3 version. That would be fun and enjoyable. Never.... Has a fun trophy would be more of a enduring job that tried my patience. The last 3 days.... Averaging 6-8 times a day I had to restart the console because game froze and yes frame rate was garbage. Last trophy was civil war.... The battles I had to hope "plz don't freeze plz don't freeze"
Skyrim broke my Xbox. Never had any problems with the PS3 version.
I rented the PS3 version of Skyrim on GameFly just around the time it was released in late 2011 and only played a small chunk of it. Thought I’d give it a try because it was the big game at the time. However, I wasn’t really into RPGs and got bored with it… As I got older, I eventually got into Fallout 3 and New Vegas then eventually got Skyrim for PS4 and played the holy living hell out of it!
I never got to experience the bugs or glitches on the PS3 version of Skyrim but I sure got to see the nonsense with Fallout 3 and New Vegas as I did play those on PS3.
Sony made the mistake of putting all it's resources into the cell processor.. They could have had a x86 cpu, possibly the AMD phenom processors and Could have had 512mb system memory and 512mb gpu memory with a better equipped gpu, it would have been an undeniable generation.
With a modded ps3 and RSX overclock + ssd its a decent port and pure nostalgic moment,
I like it and play it every time with 12+mb savegame
I've had the PS3 version for some years, but haven't dived into the game. Guess I'll buy the PS4 version.
Funniest part was waiting almost a year for DLC then that made the game run even funnier
3:00 - Daaaamn, that farmerate drops lower than the age of consent😂😂😂 (in Japan😮)
I got a p s three slim, and some reason it won't read the skyrim legendary edition disc, they'll read all my other ps three games though
Dude is froze so many times on my ps3 and when i say froze i mean the game crashed so i had to restart the system and continue from my last save i had before it froze on me
Is it true the PS3 version could corrupt your save file outright? If that never happened to you you should be grateful at least for that. I can put up with a lot of shit including piss poor framerate (I grew up on Perfect Dark for N64, I know a thing or two about single digit framerate) but getting my save file corrupted from a game I sank 100+ hours is too fucking much.
I dealt with skyrim on ps3 because I went through 3 360s within 6 years as they all got red ring. Never had any kind of issues like this with any other console. And now in 2024 with the homebrew scene you cant even mod a 360 without becoming a psuedo-engineer. Worst console ever
I remember playing skyrim on ps3 it was awful
After like 100 hours (idk how i managed that) one of my saves got corrupted and the other was an autosave under water without much air, so that save was doomed as well
Needless to say i bought the game on ps4 and pc several years later
RIP
I'm new to Skyrim bought it for €3 in March for PS3, ya loading time's are irritating, if you go to fast on a horse or pull out a weapon about to fight sometimes the game freezes. But I'm having a great time, I suppose a fella in his 40s could care less about graphics and fps. The only thing really bothers me are the loading time's, I love the game so much I hate waiting and when it does freeze, it is annoying, but I think the graphics are nice on PS3 and I won't be forking out crazy money for a ps5 that's not backward compatible for ps1 to PS3 games. I'm done with Sony, they are traitor's to people like me in the 90s that built up the PlayStation brand,
Skrim on ps3 works fine for me
Ive played this version and got to level 110 and everything whlie this was bug
You need to go buy a lottery ticket then. Thanks for watching!
@happygosunday only time he started to break is when it kept spawning druagr in cities and place I go to some times death overlords can whip out a whole city
Wow a game I never finished. And yes glitches sometimes. Until I put a SSD in the ps3 the load times unbearable. Felt like 30mins to start the game on HDD.

90% of PS3 ports are bad but Skyrim managed to surprise me with how bad this game is on the PS3, one of my biggest regrets I had with Skyrim was buying the PS3 version back in 2011
"90%" 💀 blud doesn't know anything
@@the_troll309 Yes, 90%...almost every fucking game between 2006 and 2010 runs better on the Xbox 360, that's a fact, things only started to get balanced on the PS3 from 2011 onwards when the generation was already heading towards the end
I have a 360 and PC but I’m probably still gonna buy a PS3 and experience this again
PS3 has no issues if you start fresh on a PS3. If your PS3 is bloated up with saves and has had crashes and error check repairs the game will crash.
I don't think I've ever played a game as much as I played Skyrim on PS3
I finished GTA 4, Red Dead Redemption and Mass Effect trilogy on the ps3, MAN was an awful experience, my ps3 crashed like several times after the marathons i played on each of those games, but skyrim for real was unplayable so i didn´t ever finish skyrim, maybe someday i´ll play it again on a decent remake or something
