Bit late here buddy... But either way, I wouldn't mind at-least people are still going to get the DLC and it isn't 360-exclusive.

Edit: Love the title as well, "What it's a PC game" not to disappoint you but TES has been on consoles for the past 2 entries.

*green glasses on*

360 users = Guinea pig

*green glasses off*

Seriously everything is a bit harder for PC because every PC has different specifications, hardware and software wise. So the chances of bugs appearing are higher. Having them release the DLC for console first is actually logical.

I doubt it's about bugs testing. It's all about Microsoft.

I'd advise you learn about what your talking about before typing wrong things.

This is purely to do with that beth are getting money from micro$oft to get it to 360 users first.

As a fellow PC gamer, I really couldn't care less. We have mods, and thats better than any PAID 1 hour questlines.

I think it? a smart move. Us pc gamers have more advantages than X-Box players to begin with (better graphics, tons and tons of mods), so cut them some slack. Beth needs to sell some X-Box copies too.

id bet my left nipble that the xbox version outsells both PC and PS3 versions.



Skyrim is only a PC game if you buy it on your PC. im getting it on 360, therefore for me Skyrim is an Xbox 360 game.

DLC is because microsoft bought it, simple as that. its business. it doesnt make microsoft evil, no more than it makes people who write "micro$oft" seem justified in their hatred....

I'm just annoyed about spoilers, and they are bound to happen. I'm not sure if previous expansions had a delayed release as well, but if you imagine ...

"The Tribunal? Oh, those dead wannabe gods."
"Sheogorath? Oh, that old Daedric Prince? Yeah, totally replaced by Jyggalag now."

And that is normal for a xbox game made for xbox, ported to pc and ps3 and advertised with xbox footage by a designer who says he likes xbox better. The sales could have been different if you switch pc with xbox.

Bethesda gets more money to develop future games/DLC with, but gets it from Microsoft instead of making us pay more for the content. And when the PC version gets the DLC it probably has some bugfixes applied as well.

I'm totally fine with this.

They are not getting it first. We are getting it later. There's a big difference.

Micro$oft paid Bethesda to release the DLC later on the other platforms. That means that it's really not an advantage for 360 users, it's a disadvantage for PC and PS3 users. If Micro$oft hadn't done this 360 users would still get the DLC at the same time as they do now. So you see, it's really not a perk for them.

That is why I don't understand why people are not more upset over this.

Its a lot easier than that. M$ are paying Beth a sh***t lot of money for this. Why do you think only xbox screenshots and videos are shown? If people saw how nice it will look on the PC they would not buy it for xbox and even worse, maybe think the xbox is starting to svck. M$ cant have that so they push the companies and give them money. I'll bet Todd prefers the PC, but like any person with a sponsor deal, has to say he och she prefers the sponsors products! That's how business works nowadays. MONEY IN THE BANK! :tops:

its just microsoft taking whatever cheap shots they can to tell us PC players that they hate us because some other guy with a PC pirates their games.

at any rate, its not like skyrim is lacking in content to begin with; it wont be much of a wait, and for the countless gameplay hours added by mods, microsoft can throw all the temper tantrums they want.

not only xbox screens are shown. its already been confirmed that weve been shown PC and PS3 screens and none of you noticed. maybe you are hyping up the PC too much. there will only be a slight graphical improvement and slightly better loading times. hell and thats only on the HIGH end PCs that only mummys boys or people with a job can afford

You're forgetting mods, mods that enhance graphical options on the pc. You're also forgetting the 720p cap the consoles have.
