Got mine only a month back and its great. I tend to wait till all bugs and patches are fixed, less frustrations that way.

He raises a very valid point though. I do the same. It's an increasing problem for new games, with the devs forced to meet deadlines and rush releasing before they've been fully tested. And apparently Skyrim now is much, much better than it was at release. Not perfect but nearly perfect. I didn't get my copy until xmas 2011 but for the first few months PS3 users (especially) had it really bad. The game was collapsing after around 30 hours of gameplay before 1.3/1.4.

Bethesda games aren't the only ones though. Red Dead Redemption was riddled with glitching and lag to begin with. It's just the nature of the open world game beast. I personally think that some of the glitches add to the fun. In Read Dead there was some funny sh!t going on. Horses riding through the sky, people falling though the map, all sorts of weird and bizarre stuff.

I loved it and sunk somewhere around 150-200 hours in to my character but after completing all of the main quests, side quests, daedric quests, levelling up more than was needed, suiting out in daedric armour, etc, etc it didn't present any more kind of challenge. The last quest I did (Dark Brotherhood) was a cake walk even on master difficulty. The buffs were so high with all of my additional smithing and enchantment perks that I was one shotting everything with my daedric bow. Even ancient dragons weren't any kind of challenge. Don't get me wrong though, gaining those perks was just as much fun as the quests themselves. I suppose I could have created a new character but I'd become jaded with the game by then. Maybe one day! :-D

Instead I started playing the ultimate edition of dragon age: origins and found playing that much more of a challenge and essentially more rewarding. If you guys haven't played it yet, I'd seriously recommend finding a copy. It has masses of content. It's tough (in places very tough) but a thoroughly engaging story and fun strategic combat system.

After finishing that I was about to begin Dark Souls but felt like something a bit more action oriented so have just begun playing InFamous 2. A decent open world post-apoc adventure/shooter. I've also got Dishonored waiting on the shelf. So many games, so little time!!! :-p
