I hope the Christmas dlc is just a Christmas hat

Too bad I pre-ordered when it first came to Steam...

Those are despicable tactics. Depriving gamers of content just for one system doesn't well with me.
It's not like Pc or PS3 will cannibalise Xbox sales over a damn DLC.


DLC = Content that should've been in the game in the first place, but the devs saw a quick buck, so here we are.
Thanks for svcking M$' [censored] Beth, thanks alot...

I guess someone should go ahead and make thread 5...

it will probably be like F3, except maybe theyll each be released 5 or 6 months after instead of all being released a year after.

10 hours? More like the 2 or so that Anchorage lasted, if we're lucky.

But I agree with your point - the easiest way to resolve this issue is to simply stop caring.

Hey, more anti-consumer DLC exclusivity. Glad to see we are so important to you guys.

I just hope the DLC is NOT Area 51. That's all, if it is then I would not be amused.

However it's just DLC, the game is already massive so that won't be as effective as FO3. FO3 was so small there HAD to be DLC for additional quests. Oblivion was fine as without DLC it was a pretty big game.

I could smell this coming a mile a way. I'm on PS3, and was delayed DLC for quite some time. Then when it did come out (I rebought the game on GOTY as well as BoS DLC so I could level up.) I couldn't play it without serious issues. So if the delay is because they want it to be good and run, fantastic. But if its pure greed, its sad. But, as long as the game is good, I don't need the DLC. In fact, I'd rather not have it than to get it months later and it is buggy and broken.

I actually agree, to an extent. The Fallout 3 DLC was all pretty piss-poor, so it's not like we'll be missing out on much.

However, I also agree with previous sentiments that it's despicable of Bethesda to announce something like this on the day the game is released, thus depriving potentially millions of people from being able to make informed descisions about which version to buy. I mean, I have a PC and a PS3, and chose the PC version because it gets content/patches earlier, and it gets mods.

Now it turns out that half of my reasoning was inaccurate. Naturally I'm pissed.

Things have gone so well that so far that people are used to things being well, so even these relatively minor issues are enough a sparkle an explosion.

Modded content, especially when it comes to quests, is often not of the same quality as that of the game itself though. There are still very few decent quest mods for Fallout 3, and even fewer with voice acting. And they take a lot longer to make than DLCs from professional companies.

The PC version does not have these benefits out of the box, they are made by fans. Just because fans are willing to create things for the game, doesn't mean PC users shouldn't get the same official content.

Also basing mod statistics on the number of files on Nexus is hardly accurate. There aren't 300 real companion mods, just as there aren't 300 quest mods. Or 19,000 weapons.

I have to disagree with your views on DLC. While I would say that its true with a lot of other game makers, I'm looking at you Bioware. Bethesda games give you 1000+ hours of vanilla game play. Anything added on is extra content that probably couldn't fit on the disc. If Fallout was a 6 hour game with nothing to do in it after the story is complete then yes they could of put in more, but its not.

I don't think you'd feel the same way if the DLC was going to come out for the PC first.... :rolleyes:

Publishers really shouldn't release titles across multiple platforms if they're going to favour one of them, even slightly. IMO

DLC can be abused for that butt it is sour graqes to say that defines DLC

You think Fallout 3 was too short and not a full game without all the DLCs?

This isn't horse armor. These DLCs if they are anything like FO3's are small scale expansions, not some content they made already locked away in the last minute to sell for extra money.

Exactly, this isn't Bioware, its Bethesda. Its not Mafia 2, its New Vegas.

Yippee yay...
They'll be no DLC Christmas day...

Yup, 100% anti-consumer move and somehow console gamers still by and large don't care. But hey, let's defend them hurting a large segment of our community because... oh right, because we're all so excited that they got a big check from Microsoft! Wow, I'm so happy for you.

Hey console gamers, which screwing up gaming for the rest of us please.

Flame Bating much?

It's nothing new. Windows versions of Microsoft's software tend to have more features than ports to other OS's. Windows versions of Apple's software tend to svck big time. Windows versions of a lot of Adobe software aren't as good as the MacOS versions because Adobe is a long-time pal of Apple's. Heck, Apple has bought out software companies just so they can prevent Windows versions of some software from ever being made. Bethesda has had a relationship with Microsoft for some time...Sony is "the new guy" as far as Bethesda is concerned. I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft has even helped Bethesda out in the past. If your buddy and "the new guy" both asked you for some exclusive DLC content would you be more inclined to help out "the new guy" or your long-time pal that owns your lead platform?

I just pray that instead of a year Obisidian follows Call of Duty by making the wait only a month.

Have we heard back from the developers? I know its skeptical thinking, I mean why would they worry about their community members and go on the forums to speak to them.

whos the new guy exactly? psone was way before either xbox

I'm calling post limit
