I already have the 5th Thread ready to post once this fills up, so don't waste your time please.

*bashing Microsoft is fine, bashing Mr. Gates is not since he is an individual. You can bash Bethesda as a whole as well, but you can not bash developers or Mr. Altman because the moderators don't allow it*

As I posted in the last thread.

If this content was trivial there would be no reason for Microsoft to be paying good money to secure it for itself.

Sad but true.

I agree with that reasoning. It'd be awfully weak PR if the big Christmas DLC was Rex Armor or something. Plus, the initial quotes talk about continuing the adventure, and that doesn't sound much like a trivial thing to me. That sounds like content.

oh, but i would. trust me. if they want more sales, these companies need to actually make their system better, or invest in exclusive games. not pull these cheap tricks, i would not encourage this at all.

Other post should be locked soon now, because of being past the post count, so I will comment here now. It would have been nice it if was said ahead of time. Didn't someone say that this wouldn't happen again? Also, is it because the PS3 is more sophisticated than the 360 or PC that it's harder to make games for, so this can be why it's delayed for the PS3? They want to make shure no more bugs or unplayble issues like last time in Fallout 3?

they do it every year with COD games just for extra maps and for 1 to 2 months

this svcks.

its not as much that i want the dlc. its that i feel i am not getting as much for my purchase as an xbox360 owner. we pay the same price (actually i am paying 110 dollars) so we should get the same amount of content.

its like if you and 2 other guys bought a pair of head phones. the third guy got a 20 dollar i tunes card along with. its just not fair.

and that is why i am mad. i feel as if i pay the same price for the same thing. i should get the same thing

Quotes from thread 3.



I agree on the mod point. When I make the decision to buy a game on xbox or PC, I am taking into account all the things like mods, regulated multiplayer, dedicated servers, hardware power, etc. All those things that differentiate the two. If I get the game on my 360 I've already decided that something about it is more important than my desire to see third party mods. Third party mods are also rarely as deep as the DLC put out by publishers. It almost always lacks voice acting, and often has compatibility issues (most mods for FO3 for example broke or conflicted when Operation Anchorage came out). When I make that decision, I am not deciding on knowledge that isn't even public yet of the fact that I am going to get screweballed on DLC. Had this been announced a month, or eve a week ago, I would have called gamestop and changed my order to a 360 version, or at least HAD TIME TO CONSIDER MY OPTIONS. I can't do that now. If I want to play this week, I have to make a snap decision in the next 24 hours whether I want to drive to a GS store several downs over to return my mail delivered game and pay $10 more for the right to get DLC on time.

Meh, it doesn't matter. If Bethesda releases it for the 360 first, then the PC and PS3, we'll still get to play it. If they don't, someone will just use a modded 360 to bring over the ESM and BSA files over to PC, and then PS3.

...and if neither happen, so what? It's just a game. Besides, most DLC isn't worth buying anyway. The only one I've ever bought was worth the cost was Lair the Shadow Broker, and that was only good because it resolved an issue that spanned two games and brought back a well loved character.

That could be one reason, but I kind of doubt that it is, since as far as anyone can tell, the PC doesn't get the DLC either. Just xbox.

We′ll i think people should still be angry...

Anger is healthy in small doses.

=D they are 360 lovers but svcks for other consoles....

Bethesda isn't going to make it any easier on us by telling us the score anytime soon, and arguing about it is going nowhere. It's just a shame that this whole thing kind've sapped my excitement for a potentially great game right before release.

no they are money lovers. they are under the thumb of Microsoft

I agree, I paid $110 and I feel like I got screwed when I payed the same as the 360 guy (if he really did pay at all).

I got a question for everyone. Why are we buying Fallout New Vegas? Are we buying it for DLC or to play a game that gives 100+ hours vanollia? So to say you are not buying New Vegas because of DLC seems kinda moot too me.

I remember being on the origanl xbox and not being able to play Morrowind. I was so happy when Morrowind came to the xbox, I didn't care if I could have expansion packs or mods or what not. I was playing vanillia Morrowind. I guess we as humans can't be greatfull for anything eh?

Greed will collapse the gaming industry, I fear an early 80s type video game depression coming. It will probably be started by companies buying exclusive this and exclusive that licences, plus the greed and shady business practices of companies like EA/Activision.

I don't believe the DLC is free for the boxers.

It's a just a game. Don't let the little things get to you, or you won't be ready for the big ones.


True, but only as a stress relief mechanism. Little things like this shouldn't stress you out though.

@ davor

people should stop playing vanilla, it sounds really dumb.

and im buying it to play new vegas....all of it. i need the whole experience.

If this happens hoppefully EA, Activision will finally be bankrupt and we will never see them again. Too bad that Activision CEO will get a large payout when ever he leaves thoguh.

That's a valid point I completely overlooked. It seemed like it could be trivial but you don't pour out big money for nothing.

I play on ps3 (xbox is rrod and my laptop gets extremely hot when playing games)

I'm Just glad I will be able to play the game and worry about DLC later, although I would PC game (Saving for a Alienware Desktop) if I had the choice But I don't.

But I am Slightly annoyed that PS3/PC are getting pushed aside, but nothing I say will change that, all I can do is hope for the best, that Bethesda decide to include PS3/PC faster then Fo3 DLCs were released for PS3
