Skyrim on PS3, anyone tried it?

[Capricorn Anomaly]

I've always played Skyrim on PC (bought it for computer on launch day 2011) and I never touched it on the 360 or PS3 before. I tried the Legendary Edition for PS3 a few days ago for the first time and I couldn't believe how bad the frames were (25fps or around there) and the textures almost looked like PS1 era. It was almost laughably bad. I tried to push through, made it all the way to Riften and did some Thieves guild quests then had to stop. Frames were making me motion sick.

Has anybody else here played the console version? No real point to this post really, I'm just curious about other people's opinion.

Have a good day

I played on the ps3 starting a week or so after launch. TLDR: they weren't all the good old days.


Loading screens were horrible, and the there was a bug that bloated your save game, the longer you played. Play for 6 hours and now it takes 5 minutes to get into breezehome.(or longer)

Then came time for the dlc's. Pc got them. Xbox got them. Nothing for ps3 as sony were being ♥♥♥♥♥. I think it was 3 or 4 months later that I was able to enjoy them.

Not knowing any better, I played on.....and on....and on....

A few years later I bought a ps4, and my game bugged on me so bad that I bought a pc and never looked back.

Oblivion's been waiting 18 years for DLC on PS3 so a few months of delay is nothin'.

But yeah the load times are gonna get ya. It's probably not much different than playing Skyrim on a Nintendo Switch, maybe a bit slower, but I only play my Switch copy on airplanes and such.

PS3 load times were absolute ass. Game was basically unplayable after a few hours due to how terrible the game's saving system was.

Switch issue as far as I am aware doesn't have nearly as much of an issue.


Ironically, Oblivion becomes unplayable on consoles after a period of time, too. Though it takes much longer than just a few hours and it isn't due to save game bloat, but rather a bug that has to do with the play time incrementing that causes the "A-Bomb glitch".

Same problem happens on PC but there's tools to fix it now-a-days.

My wife has, is was so jank and broken she gave up, yet more proof that Bethesda have always sucked when it comes to many aspects of their games even the so called good ones.
