Anybody who wants a decent RPG should be purchasing games such as Dark Souls, not Bethesda's latest turd. The sooner people stop giving money to them the sooner they'll realize that their appalling business practices and lack of respect for customers needs to change.
Currently: 300 hours in skyrim and over 750 hours in dark souls personally.
If weren't getting into the game of wishing and telling business how to be run....
I wish for no console exclusives. I want Zelda on meh 360, Gears of War on the ps3, and Uncharted on the wiiU.
new ip's are a risk. the reason that many "hardcore gamers" buy one console over another is content exclusivity, be it franchises or dlc. the 360 has chosen the safer route of putting money in successful franchises in order to get some exclusivitythat way. so xbox getting the timed exclusives basically says "if you want to get the full game experiance of overhyped title a, you have to wait a couple months or play it on 360" if you don't want to support that, by all means buy the other console and wait while they make safe money. i'm gonna wait a year or two and then buy a console after the first or second price drop.
Exclusive games don't hinder the experience of a different system, while withheld DLC and preferential treatment does hinder the experience of another.
PS3 player's got a broken game that didn't work, the DLC should definitely be discounted for them.
"The fan took it a bit further, stating that he too doesn’t agree with the “Consoles first,”policy of Bethesda as an owner of the PC Collector’s Edition and concluded that ‘there’s no good reason for these delays."
The guy sounds like a baby to be honest, just wait a month to play your crappy underwhelming overpriced DLC. Sheesh
Was going to say the same thing. PS3 owners have received, by a wide margin, the worst treatment from Bethesda and hopefully the discount will be substantial.
PC users have nothing to complain about. There are quest mods out there for goodness sake, many of them probably superior to Dragonborn. Skyrim on PC is about a billion times better than the console versions. Hell, Hearthfire contains stuff that was already available on PC so what's the problem? You want Dragonborn so bad? Ask someone to make it on the Nexus or something.
Thank the cell processor for that, plus Skyrim is a wide open world. That makes it very hard on devs (so Im told) to program for this gen consoles with the low ram.
I know the follow up comment is going to be naughty dog spends a million hours on each games and gets it right.
Given that Bethesda has yet to release a game that didn't need to have a year spent on it fixing all of their bugs, or that didn't need the PC community to fix it within the first week of release, it's safe to say Bethesda is the problem.
Plenty of open world games work just fine on the PS3 and a completely different studio was able to port Oblivion to the PS3 in a condition far more stable, and of higher quality, than what Bethesda could have released.
Defending Bethesda's actions while attacking their DLC.
I like it.
But the guy is basically saying he deserves 50% off the DLC for having to wait a month. He's just annoyed Xbox gets it first, but Microsoft paid for the timed exclusivity so you just gotta deal with that.
There's nothing that really justifies a discount...
Timed-DLC a silly concept, and people are well within their rights to complain about it.
It might even make Bethesda treat all platforms fairly next time. Slim chance, but it's better than just bending over to 'deal with it'.
Months before the game was even released it was announced that Xbox was getting timed exclusivity on DLC so its his own fault for either getting it on the 'wrong' console (in terms of DLC being a day one priority) or being uninformed.
Plus, its DLC... Bethesda didn't even have to make it. Its like complaining you bought a movie and when the Director's Cut/Extended version comes out you complain you didn't get the extra content.
The concept of timed exclusivity is retarded though, same with all exclusive content (from console, where you purchased, etc). But the fact is, complaining about a month's wait is ridiculous and he's just an entitled git. The 'delay' wasn't due to technical problems such as the case with PS3, its simply a later release date. I bet he would complain about not getting a discount for games like Bioshock, Mass Effect, and others on PS3/Wii U so long after 360 as the concept is exactly the same.
If the deal was over, then it seems as if the deal was the only thing making the DLC pop up. Without the deal Bethesda fails more?
Forum users were content with any form of update it's just that Bethesda doesn't treat its consumer base with any respect thus the out lash from the man towards Pete Hines.
Me and my other bro PC gamers have no qualms with Bethesda...neither does 99% of the PC gaming population.
We have mods yo! Some of them are better than the DLC they come out with.
and, as a pc gamer myself, with all the amazing mods the community has made, i'm in no hurry to PAY for dlc, i'll grab it off a steam sale this summer, with all dlc in one package for like $7.50
mods like this;

make me not care to much about over-priced dlc
i feel bad for ps3 gamers, if anyone deseves a discount, or heck, the dlc for free it's them!
2. Make game in PC, Xbox 360 and PS3 seperatly, they made skyrim for xbox the PC port isn't nearly as bad as the ps3 but its still pretty bad without mods.
Its impossible to be fair, PC has mods that are better than any of the DLC will be.
