My OP from that topic:

We're approximately at one month before Skyrim's release. We still haven't seen any confirmed PS3 or PC screenshots or footage, still only 360 footage, we already know they're going for timed DLC exclusivity deals with Microsoft, they haven't demod the PS3 or supposedly the PC version even once at any of these conventions (including the ones where fans got to try the game out for 15-20 minutes), we have no reviews of the PS3 version and possibly not even the PC version and no reference for how they technically look and run, we already know the 360 is the lead platform and the other versions practically ports, nothing Skyrim-related is coming onto the PSN, any given Bethesda staff member won't even acknowledge the lack of PS3/PC footage and/or the possibility of seeing either before release... or from them, at all. Just today, I found out that the speedruns were exclusively held on the 360 and Bethesda released the list of 360 achievements... but didn't even so much as mention the PS3's trophies and I'm not sure of anything pertaining to Steam achievements.

Arguably, some of these things are minor and even unimportant, depending on the specific subjective view, but my point is more about what, together, they represent and more about the principle of much of it. This game isn't coming across as multiplatform, it's coming across as a 360-exclusive. I... my head's throbbing, but I've reached an all-time peak of frustration when I should be celebrating the game's upcoming release... but I can't because I don't even feel like Bethesda considers anyone playing on my platform or the PC in any of their marketing decisions and few of their technical decisions. They won't show anything pertaining to the other versions and it's really upsetting me. What is this? How much longer do we need to wait? Why is everything relayed the public about the 360 version? This is simply an inexcusable failure on the part of Bethesda's marketing team. They aren't addressing their fans on 2/3 of their supposedly supported platforms. Following what they dared to do with Fallout 3's PS3 DLC (delay, release as technical mess, never acknowledge or patch it) and I just have very little faith in their technical motivation to actually give a crap about something other than the 360 version nor am I getting the message from the marketing that this is a multiplatform game... just a 360 game quickly and haphazardly ported over to the other platforms in an attempt to grab money. What gives?

Did this really need a second thread?

"Games for Windows", "Xbox 360", "PS3" right there on the elderscrolls website... In addition the 360 is the one with the least hardware, so it makes sense they would show that off(and rightly so, it looks amazing on the 360 version from the demo footage) instead of using PC footage and trying to pretend it would look that good on the consoles.

What more did you want? Ive always played TES on the PC, and Skyrim is definitely not coming across as a "360-exclusive" to me.

Does anything even ever need a first thread? These are forums... a simple fact many don't seem to understand. They're here for the civil discussion of topics related to the game and it is perfectly within the limits of the forums to create a continuation of a thread if one so wishes... so long as that thread was not locked due to vulgarity or any other form of contradiction of forum rules. We're only about a month away from Skyrim's release and this is the only issue about the game that's really bothering me, at the moment. Nothing ever needs another thread... nothing ever need a first thread... there don't even need to be forums in the first place. Therefore, I don't quite understand your question or why it is relevant to the topic at hand. It is simple forum rules that I be allowed to post my opinion in a civil manner and it is within your rights on these forums to ignore my topic. If you're in here only to add spam to the thread and contribute nothing of value to the topic, then you should know that nobody is forcing you to read or respond to any of this.

the game is only for the 360 thats why.

Mircosoft is obviously funding Bethesda. They cant talk about other versions because of their endorsemants. Its just marketing. I'd get used to it.

LOL, it didn't need a first thread imo :facepalm:
