Skyrim DLC to be on Xbox360 first : V - Skyrim

» Fri Aug 26, 2011 9:27 pm

Well I haven't played any of the Fallout 3 DLC so unfortunately I wouldn't know, and I agree with what you saying about PS3 and PC users getting shafted, I mean do you know for a fact that it is specifically optimised for an xbox? (I was unaware of this). I don't think it's particularly despicable it's business, could you honestly say to me that if you had made a game and had created some DLC for it that you would turn down a heck of a lot of money for releasing it to another platform before the others? That's money that can be used to help fund the current or next game your due to make, it's not as if we (PS3 and PC users) aren't getting the DLC we just have to be a bit more patient that's all and frankly I don't particularly have an issue with it, I was just trying to be optimistic

Eh, before I respond, I'm really sorry about the sarcasm and the eye-rolling thing. I really meant nothing by it. I tend to get a bit rash when upset.

However, everything Bethesda's shown and said has indicated they're making Skyrim to push all they can out of the 360, specifically, and nothing else... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utZFhdRiWvI&feature=player_embedded This is definitely a goal of theirs. I'm sure of it.

I am just glad we all know this before the game ships.My housemate can beat his PS3 using fists against the wall and then get over it in time to enjoy the main game.Really though, the word "exclusive" seems to be good business practice for gaming these days.I see that word as negative, and would not dream of using it when customers are listening.Am I supposed to feel like the chosen one when I play these before two thirds of my fellow fans?

Because everyone goes out and buys their games anyway... Microsoft is giving them cash to delay DLC for everyone else, they pocket that cash, people complain, but they still go out and buy it. It's a win win for Beth who in my book would be no better than activision if it wasn't for the mod tools they give us.

You want to send Beth a message? Do so with your wallet, don't purchase the game.

Oh no, I still want to play Skyrim, because clearly that's the only part of this they've put any effort into. The DLC, on the other hand...

I won't be buying DLC either way, I'll be getting the PC version regardless, and I'm aware that companies exist because of and for money.

While this is callous disregard for their greater playerbase in favour of whatever deal was struck with Microsoft, I do hope that it will serve to improve the quality of the DLC.

But then again we 360 users have to pay monthly for exclusiveness, PS3 is free, and I'm not that knowledgeable on PC but i'm pretty sure it depends on the game but i think it is free.

You don't have to pay for a single-player game on an Xbox360, IIRC.

WTF is wrong with these forums? Another double post.

Not buying the game is not an option for me. What else could I do to send Bethesda a message?

The issue is really only an issue for the PS3. The poor, poor PS3 really is the only platform getting shafted here.

PC gets mods, hundreds of user-generated content. 360 gets TWO pieces of early DLC (and for all the people frothing at the mouth in rage, let's at least SEE what that DLC is before we get angry.)

Better later, than [censored]-ed-up ports!

No you pay to be able to play multiplayer games, and not get hacked.(*cough*)
You can download DLC with a silver account.

I read your post before Summer cut it to pieces, and I completely agree. But some people just don't listen to the facts.

Still, PC is better.

As I said, I have no disillusions about any platform's strengths or weaknesses. I know a half-decent PC will mop the floor with the PS3. Again, I'm only stating documented, researched facts, here, about hardware.

10th page.

[censored] that, I'm still going to buy for the PS3.

You pay 60$ a year

You get things 30 DAYS early.......Days people ONE MONTH.

Cut the complaining, Bethesda isn't going to change anything. Micro$oft pays them the big bucks to do this.

Where do you get the game being optimized for the 360 from? Most of you guys read ENTIRELY too far into things.

You are paying because MS is greedy. The service is inferior than PC's open online, as are nearly all of the mulitplats on it. You pay for DLC that is free on other systems.

Don't for a second think its because you pay, thats just you getting swindled.

Buy the game but not the DLCs, there are of course other options but I do not condone those.

Buy it used?

Pirate?

Well, why not delay it just for the ps3, since PCs are mostly Microsoft based?

I'm having serious double posting problems today. Curse you, internet.

well, i guess i should be glad that ps3 owners are ALLOWED to have DLC this time, atleast... even if we still have to wait atleast a month.

» Sat Aug 27, 2011 6:25 am

figures... microsoft's evil taint got hold of bethesda again.

i swear that company is ruining the world, in every way, not just the gaming part of it.

well, i guess i should be glad that ps3 owners are ALLOWED to have DLC this time, atleast... even if we still have to wait atleast a month.

although, if bethesda gives the 360 version exclusive content, that we'll never get to see... then THAT is when they lose me as a fan, because im tired of all the unfair treatment just because microsoft's a bunch of children who cant stand not getting their way.

Corrected it for you. :confused:

No worries :thumbsup: I do completely appreciate what your saying though, after watching the video I can see what you mean about them pushing the aesthetics on an xbox, but that is an xbox page so he would be primarily talking about the xbox (I hope and pray). But saying that I haven't seen him really mention anything about the PS3 in terms of aesthetic or graphics, so again I do see your point and I do hope your wrong lol!!

Precise, to say the least.

This again... and they think they will sell more Xbox...

You obviously don't know me, at all, then. I will not be purchasing Skyrim the day of release and whether someone wants to believe me or not is of little concern to me, but I refuse to purchase this game on nothing but a handful of insults and bad omens. If Bethesda can display the PS3 version via screenshots and video and I'm happy with what I see, I would consider it, but no, I will not be purchasing Skyrim on day one otherwise and I may very well go entirely without Skyrim, at all... and that's a conclusion I've come to based on a history of Bethesda doing this type of thing. I don't need to deal with it and I won't. Skyrim is a now-wait-for-reviews game, for me, and then only a brand new purchase if the PS3 version is technically sound and healthy... but if there is even so much a shred of a lazy porting job, the only way I'll be purchasing Skyrim is used... and to Bethesda, that may as well be as me not purchasing it at all... and I don't know whether to list reasons why you're wrong or otherwise, but the PS3 doesn't svck or have many problems.

The only problem the PS3 has is the thorn in its side that is developers like Bethesda. This isn't to start a platform war, *platform war material removed by moderator :nono:*

Ok, I guess "problems" wasn't really to correct word... What I mean is people complain about the RRoD the Xbox used to have and now the "disc eating" but the RRoD has been fixed with their new Xbox (granted it shouldn't have been there in the first place) and the "disc eating" only occurs if you pretty much tip the thing on it's side and start shaking it about... I was talking to a friend on Xbox not... 30 minutes ago and he had just come from his cousins and played his Ps3, he said it was horrible and some of the features were just... re-tarded to say the least, stuff about it automatically installing discs to the hard drive so to play other a new game if your hard drive was full you had to delete some things and the Ps3 has an equivalent to the RRoD (not sure what it's called) although it is far, far less common. Combine that with no party chat and no invite to game it would personally annoy the hell out of me. All this and the fact that it's still ￡400 a console and free online is why Microsoft can afford to pay for all the exclusivity.

Just like you, not trying to start a console war, but the Ps3 has it's downsides and reasons why it doesn't bring in enough money to purchase the amount of exclusivity that Microsoft can.
