[quote name='Whedon']Debating waiting for Skyrim GOTY edition since I have a backlog at the moment. Thanks to this site I went on a bit of a spending spree w/Amazon, gohastings and glyde every time there were discounts/deals too good to pass up.
Also playing through New Vegas atm and I will definitely need a palate cleanser between massive open world games.
Using Oblivion release dates as a timeframe:
Oblivion release: March 2006
Oblivion Shivering Isles DLC: March 2007
Oblivion GOTY: September 2007
So if it followed this pattern, Skyrim GOTY would be June 2013. Yeah, I'm probably not THAT patient. But my backlog is still holding me back on jumping on this Walmart deal right now. Oh, what to do, what to do...[/QUOTE]
What you do is you say screw the backlog, buy Skyrim, and play that! The game is absolutely fantastic, definitely my favorite of 2011. One of the few games that is worth the full price.
Take note that this is coming from a guy with a ridiculous backlog himself though...
