What do you expect? Microsoft are greedy and will do anything

It's just [censored] DLC. Stop crying about it. It'll come to your platform anyways.

:rofl:

Should't it be DC?

Actually some of us just have more important things too spend our money on then toys. Like toys for OUR kiddies.

Maybe someday you'll meet a girl and find out about that.

Here's a tip, don't try to impress her with your pc. SUPER lame.

Microsoft pays Bethesda to have DLC's earlier.. anyway, it's just a month.

At least us PC players have Mod support, which IMO is way better than getting DLC's earlier..

Be happy that x box gets it first that means any glitchs we get you dont have to deal with when it comes out for you plus microsoft payed money to get it faster then every one else.

You got it. pc players will have more than 10,000 dlc's to choose from.

Do not care. I do not feel alienated.

I bought nothing as far as Fallout DLC for this reason.

As long as they're doing timed exclusive DLC in any form, I won't ever buy it.

This is because Microsoft is stupid.

Firstly, in a business standpoint, what Microsoft is doing is just incredibly...just... :shakehead: . Buying exclusive rights to a DLC for 30 days by shelling out money to Bethesda won't increase sales on any of their services. Who in their right mind would buy an entire console just to play the DLC 30 days earlier? Not to mention that whether the DLC comes earlier on consoles or not, it'll still have similar, if not the SAME sales rate. Look, nobody is going to buy the DLC any differently. I'll still only buy the DLC on PC because that's what I have Skyrim on! And I think my friend who has the console copy will only buy the CONSOLE VERSION! It's simple Microsoft!

Secondly, in a social standpoint, it just shows that Microsoft is greedy. If they just left it alone, then it would just be a normal DLC release date. But no, they needlessly stick their greedy fat noses in Bethesda's face and does something fancy that only will dirty their reputation amongst both console and PC gamers.

Thirdly, to seal the nail on the coffin, Microsoft really doesn't know about Creation Kit, do they? If they're trying to do something like goad PC gamers to not play on PC any more, well it's not going to work. XBOX may have earlier release date but we have Creation Kit, which is basically a thousand DLCs FOR FREE right there. Even if the first two points were null and void, this last point just seals the deal.

I think you're taking this a little too seriously. I look at it as MS rewarding Xbox players for being Xbox players. They have the money and they're spending it. Part of good marketing is keeping your current customers happy, and they're doing that.

As a PC player, I'm happy with us getting the creation kit and user mods. I have nothing against MS claiming DLC 30 days early. Who cares?

If anyone should be griping, it's the PS3 community. They do have the most broken version of the game, currently.

I don't mind that the DLC comes out for the console first, and I only play on PCs (also bought Arena when it was released). Why? Because four weeks isn't a huge deal, and I understand why the console version may deserve a tiny advantage. They don't get a construction/creation set, and they can't use mods. That is such a huge disadvantage that getting a couple of DLCs is an insignificant benefit.

Guys, this is common practice for microsoft. It's not just something Bathesda does for them, it's very common for most multiplat games. If you've got a problem with it, take it up with Microsoft, not Bathesda.

People who are [censored]ing about this are one of the reasons everyone thinks PC gamers are whiners and such.

This is no big deal. This is life altering.

[censored] enjoy what you have.

hey bethesda, I am a total fan. I don't mind that you are getting mad cash from Xbox to release it 30 days before the PC.


because a) I will have mods to occupy me and B ) patience is an under-rated virtue c) less bugs!

dear microsoft-- you are [censored] slow in the head if you think that spending more than 20 bucks convincing a publisher to delay DLC will affect your overall sale. if you only spent 20 bucks to convince BGS, then you MAY get two idiots who do end up swittching platforms on a game. but I bet you spent a lot more!!!!! for no effffffing reason.

please microsoft, show me the numbers you crunched that would lead you to believe that somoene would fork out 200 bucks for a new console just because sometimes the DLC arrives faster on that platform.

They did the same moronic crap for Fallout and still haven't learned how stupid it is... Sometimes I wonder if they even pay attention. Of course if I had the kind of cash they have I wouldn't really care either.

Why do people keep acting like this is news? Where have you been? Reprimand.

I would like to add the following information to this discussion: I have 2 left feet.

If you are ready for DLC that's a bit frustrating, the way I'm going. I would say I am about four to five months away. What percent have finished the game in the first month. if I had a guess I would say 15 to 20%

PC and PS3 users get to use 360 users as lab rats for the DLC bugs.

this is old news :confused:

Mods > DLC

Enjoy paying $15 for horse armor ( )

IIRC, doesn't microsoft require this if a multiplat is to be let on their platform? So why is everyone yelling at bathesda for having to deal with microsoft's questionable business practices? Bunch of spoiled brats, I swear. Go play with your silly mods, PC. I don't wanna hear you griping about DLC ever, you guys get to make your own. If anyone has a reason to be pissed, it's the PS3 guys, and we're used to this BS. We also tend to know who to blame.

Seeing as PS3 users took a bullet for being the first to get patch 1.2 and hit a new set of bugs. I would actually prefer to be behind in the line.

We have mods anyway. The wait wouldn't kill.
