Discuss.

Honestly, it's not surprising at all to me.

It's not surprising, but it's infuriating, nonetheless... on top of an already highly 360-biased marketing campaign.

As you said before, I just really want to see some footage from Ps3, or better yet, PC.

Months? Just 1 month for each DLC.

Seti, I bet it is pretty frustrating, but it doesn't' bother me seeing as how I'm on the lead platform. =/

Yeah, I heard it was just 30 days.

Still stupid, though.

It happens.

PC users get user made content and much better visuals.

PS3 users get Dark Souls (so damn jelly).

And 360 users get some DLC 30 days earlier.

a month later? :verymad:

damn, i just hope it's not one of those "months" like for the fallout 3 DLCs

bethesda: the DLCs for fallout 3 on ps3 will be available a month from now, mid september.

....we only got them in the middle of [censored] December :banghead: .

and as for them having more time to iron out bugs and improve performance.....see how that worked for the ps3 fallout 3 DLCs, namely the point lookout one. :facepalm:

As posted in the last thread:

In a way, we PC gamers are being punished by Microsoft for Bethesda's decision to use Steam instead of GFWL.

I wish Bethesda would stop agreeing to this bull. It's one thing for the consoles to be warring, but PC gamers shouldn't be victimized as a side effect.

Can't we see both?

Not surprising. I won't be buying those two DLCs until they're really cheap on Steam.

So much for treating all platforms equally eh Beth?

People, mind your lettuces or ye shall tremble before the might of the corrupted beehive :jammasterjay:

Months? Just 1 month for each DLC.

That's actually a long time if you're heavily into Skyrim and want all it has to offer, altogether knowing that your rival platform is getting the better deal out of it.

My faith in Bethesda's support for PS3 gamers is already pretty low due to past experience. I'm not surprised at this at all.

» Fri Aug 26, 2011 7:52 pm

It's not really that big of an issue. Most of us will still be playing the game. 300+hours of content, remember?

GFWL and early DLC would be more of a punishment than Steam and late DLC.

first they hold back graphics due to M$ butthugging, instead of using the DICE approach...now this.

sigh.

I've never bought any DLC. Unless it's free or a proper expansion pack, I don't care. Whether or not XBOX players get it early makes no difference to me.

» Sat Aug 27, 2011 7:52 am

I would hope so, but this is Bethesda. I doubt they'll show the Ps3 version if they can help it.

I don't think people understand that this has little to do with Bethesda, at all. It's Microsoft offering them a lot of money, and they are taking it, as well they should.

Bethesda is a business. What do businesses do? They make money.

So 30 days is "months now"?
