And the PS3 and PC users would be defending it like the 360 users are.What your point, people just naturally find things to complain about?

Thanks buddy :wavey:

I don't mind if we (PC) have to wait for the first DLC.... but not to get that one at all :stare:

really? This is exactly the reason I will buy it used. Beth will not see a single cent from me since the mighty $$ comes before their consumers.

How are they worse than any other game company? You must buy all your games used then.

Well, this whole DLC deal with Microsoft is bad news for me because I know my Xbox is going to crap out on me any day now. I've already had multiple hardware problems for it, which is a huge reason why I ended up buying a PS3.

I was pretty late to the party on FO3 as I bought it last December for the PS3, and after finishing the main story I was left looking for more. Luckily, Broken Steel had already been made available on the PSN so there were no issues there, as I literally downloaded it on the same night I finished the main FO3 story. Too bad it sounds like this time around I won't be so lucky.

Guess I'll still end up buying the PS3 version, but this time around knowing that I could be waiting a long time for the DLC. Hopefully this "temporarily" exclusive DLC won't be anything along the lines of Broken Steel, otherwise I'll definitely feel like I'm missing out.

The steam article says and I quote.

"PS3 version of Mafia 2, which included free access to 'The Betrayal of Jimmy".

In my book I wouldnt consider it DLC because I have never seen the Half Life 2 mini game "Lost Coast" refered to as a DLC and you got free access to that when you bought half life 2. The next DLC for Mafia II after Jimmy's Vendetta is called basically "Mafia II DLC" which gives you the choice of which pre order bonus pack you want. The third DLC that is currently under works is Joes Adventure which as I said takes place during Vito`s stay upstate.

So sure PS3 got free access to exclusive content but I didnt see once where it was refered to as a DLC on Steam in any of the news articles. I have seen "Jimmy's Vendetta" refered to as "technically the second" but that is it.

really waiting a month or 2 for the DLC wouldn't bother me. I mean microsoft pays a lot of money for the DLC early. But if ps3 and PC users never get the DLC then I will be pissed off. I mean we are all buying the game, we should all get any additional content.

Wow. Some people are really over reacting. We don't even know what the DLC will be. Remember they also said that only this FIRST DLC will be exclusive.

I don't expect it, either, really. Ha ha. We consumers barely make a dent when we do anything to fight back, s'why I laugh happily when I see things like Spore being downloaded in its millions, it makes an impact where it hurts: The Corporate Coffers. *dun dun dun* They pay attention then. lol

TBH when companies act in the best interest of the consumer, I'm just too busy not noticing I think, lol. I expect something, and if I get it I'm pretty uh, unaware that it should have been otherwise. Meh. Money = promised product. If something fails, is lacking, picks my pocket... then I notice. lol

:violin:

Your loss.

LOL, have fun with that...

Seriously this is annoying but(hopefully) not some huge"rip off" for the PS3 purchasers(like me). People are FREAKING OUT! I mean I imagine an office of PS3 owners acting like irate chimps upon reading this news given how people are acting now.

I'm sure even an irate chimp would raise an eyebrow at some of these particular responses.

.....

Valve.

People are acting like the few hours in the DLC will somehow hamper the 1000+ hours of vanilla game play if they don't have it. I guarantee that it will come to the PS3 eventually. Now if your worried about it being buggy and such, that I cant help with. I guess you should of got a 360 opposed to a PS3, since a lot of multi platform games on the PS3 are inferior/buggy.

I own a PS3, I am not a PS3 fan-boy, but I have been screwed over by Microsoft and cant help hating their system.

They obviously payed Bethesda as they do to every game review company. There is no other reason except xbox being the graphically easiest system to program because it is slightly behind the times ATM.

It's really screwed up that they decide to leave everybody on PS3 and PC hanging on this for a few bucks.

I hope they can release this stuff for PS3 rather than waiting forever like they did with fallout 3, especially considering that you have to use DLC to unlock your game after beating it.


Sick of getting screwed by the money beast that is MS,
Drew

The last good Valve game IMO was HL2.

"Dur, that's the point...how better to protest my $$ to a business???

Thanks captain obvious!

Of course it's the money, hence, caring about the GAMERS is second thought.


It's OK, It's OK.

I've come to terms with it.
I've come to terms I'll get the GOTY edition USED if at all.

And every other Bethesda related game USED if at all.

Tomorrow when I come home from work and see the Game and Collector's Guide waiting for me, I'll instead make a video of me returning them to Amazon.
I'd encourage anyone else doing the same in protest of these hi-jinks, regardless of your system.

Is it illegal to write expletives on parcel packaging?

How's that for profit, Bethesda just traded the chances someone will purchase and download the XBOX DLC six times to make up for my purchase on the PS3.

[censored] YOU BETHESDA....Fallout 3 was a buggy piece of [censored] anyways."

:rofl:

Have fun not playing Fallout for a year!

Make a save before the final part. Ex. being Fallout 3. Make a save right before you tell Lions your ready to attack Project Purity with Liberty Prime.

In order to protest getting the DLC a few months after Xbox 360 users get it...

... DLC that will likely last 2-5 hours...

Some of you are returning your copies of New Vegas...

... a game that, if it's anything like Bethesda's games, has the potential to last you hundreds of hours...

...

:blink:

I understand you want to protest a business decision that you don't agree with, but honestly, it seems like you guys are just hurting yourselves by doing it. A better option would be to never play the DLC when it comes to your platform of choice. Or buy the GOTY edition used, if you wish. But don't deprive yourselves of what is likely to be a great game just to protest this business decision.

The reason that the games for PS3 are buggy (I have not experienced this) is because they are more expensive to develop because the PS3 is more advanced and more capable. This is also why multiplats are equivalent on PS3 vs Xbox. Devs dont care about capabilities if they can take shortcuts and make them look the same.

I tried using a xbox 360, but it desoldered its own motherboard 2 days after the free repair deadline. I will never own that pathetic system again.

I have three PS3s...OWNING an XBOX is not my problem...the XBOX controller makes me feel like I'm holding a Frisbee.

I'm bothered/saddened by it not enraged BUT I do understand the anger. When I first heard FO3 was just being worked on I was crazy happy :twirl: cause I LOVE the previous fallout's, the story ,setting's, characters, you name it. I love FO3 and all it's DLC's and I know I will love FONV to, but to not have the possibility of getting even one DLC because I refuse/can't afford to go out and buy the 360 version along with the PC CE I pre-ordered really does bother me on many levels.

Yes I know that the PS3 is a superior machine, but if Dev's don't use its full potential it will forever be inferior. So i agree with you.

I am a bit upset as most of the people here seem to be with Bethesda and their choice to make it XBOX exclusive but I am sure the DLC will make it to the other platforms in time. I have all 3 platforms but I ordered for the PC because it's just my preference. It's just a shame that they didn't announce this until the last possible minute for the people deciding which platform they were going to buy it for. It really shows a lack of integrity in my opinion on the developers part. It's also upsetting to see the way things have gone with download content. I remember the days when the developers released free content to their fan base and now it seems as those days are gone. Well at least we will all be enjoying NV soon, some of you lucky ones already are.
