Man this whole Kinect thing is lame.........................

There's already a mod available from months ago that allowed voice commands for the PC version...

Well... I'm not a fan of the Kinect at all, so I'm less than impressed.

However, the line at the end of the Blog about the DLC's (they made it plural!!!!) coming soon has me kind of excited!

I'm ready for Shivering Isles type expansions! Not just little 800MSP DLC horse armor crap. lol

Please tell us soon bethesda!

I need another reason to procrastinate working on my finals

Haha... That's exactly what I was doing...

Kinect already supports it (see ME3). Most console owners have both consoles anyway. Me, I was always a PC guy until the Kinect first came out. I bought the 360/Kinect bundle because I have two children under 6 years old and I like them to play games that don't require things in their hands that they can break. I also went Xbox because, out of the two consoles, it seems to have the better graphics since most game developers build their games on Windows machines that mirror the Xbox hardware then port them over to PS3. PS3, unfortunately, always gets gimped because of that basic fact unless it's one of their exclusive titles. This is the first time I've ever been privvy to console wars. Man, the [censored] on either side are rather vicious. I'd rather build a mammoth PC and max out the graphics and download the mods, but I'm happy with my Xbox. It's relaxing to lie down on the couch, pop on my 3D glasses and set my TV to 3D settings and play Skyrim. Now with the Kinect feature, I'll be even more pleased. Yippeee!!!!

Some people actually believe that the DLC will be a whole new province? Really? Wow...

Wow, sounds AWESOME! My Kinect is in the dust right now but that will definitely change. It's not DLC but this seems amazingly helpful.

*Sigh*

I don't have a 360, and I think Kinect is a gimmicky waste of time that would work a lot better as a football than it does as a control input. But I seem to be able to do what a lot of you idiots can't, think for five damn minutes. Let me queue up a few ideas for you below, hopefully some of you will figure out how to keep your damned ungrateful traps shut afterwards because of it:


- This marks the second update to Skyrim where Bethesda have added Gamejam content to the game. Just because it isn't content you can use or that you don't like doesn't entitle you to whine about it when it's completely free.

- Just because Beth haven't mentioned bug fixes in the announcement for this features inclusion in the form of a patch doesn't mean there won't be any bug fixes with it. (They could be finalising the list of fixes before release)

- Gamejam content. For free. I couldn't really make it more obvious if I tried.

- If Beth are adding these features from the GAMEJAM, which it will now have done TWICE, for FREE. Then if you really think for two seconds about it, doesn't that mean we could see more?

- Bethesda have a timed exclusivity deal with Microsoft for the expansions. Who knows what goes on in the background at Beth HQ? Maybe this wasn't something they wanted to add so soon. Perhaps they might be making money off of doing this via another deal. Which if you think about it would mean they're making money without having to charge us anything.

- The above point is very important. At the end of the day, games are made to make money, there is very little standing in the way of us having to pay for this content and get it for free. There is also no way of knowing when they'll stop patching it in for free and start charging us, if they ever do. Enjoy this while it lasts, even if you don't like what they add.

- Bethesda don't owe us anything, if you're playing or you've played Skyrim, that most likely means you've purchased it. They already have our money, that's all they wanted and they got it the day you bought the game. They could easily have said 'Nope, [censored] you' and not bothered to patch the game at all and there would've been nothing we could have done about it, by the time we'd have realised patches weren't coming it would have become impossible to return the game for a refund. http://www.vgcats.com/comics/images/120318.jpg

- They are actually supporting the game, not just fixing mistakes but adding content as well. How many developers do that if the game isn't an MMO?

- Just because it isn't what you want, just because you don't like it and just because you won't stop [censored]ing about the fact on a forum, doesn't mean Beth are going to release what you want any faster. Be grateful free content is being added at all.

- If you actually want to see the content you desire added to the game. Stop [censored] complaining, people tend to have little tolerance for ingratitude.

- They're making an effort. Beth are fixing mistakes and adding new content, they are trying to make Skyrim even better than it already is. Instead of shooting them down at every turn how about actually being mature about it for five minutes and accepting that the effort they're making is in itself something to be grateful for. There are plenty of developers that just wouldn't care.


In short: A little less complaining would probably help actually get what you want added to the game. Bethesda are supporting Skyrim, how about you guys start supporting Bethesda and showing them we're actually worth the effort.

Since honestly, at this stage, I don't think we are.

To Bethesda: I have my issues with Skyrim, I have my complaints, my problems, my peeves and my hates. And like the rest of the community I have things I want in the game, but I am patient, and I will wait.

Fixing bugs, adding new content and restoring Elder Scrolls to its former glory; Well, heh, that takes time... even for Bethesda.

(Flaming removed. What flaming? XD)

Okay so i guess the add on you mentioned is a small add on for free?
Thats kinda amazing we get stuff meanwhile we wait for the big thing.

I hope the thing the PS3 version gets is an option to disable FXAA and a solid 30FPS gameplay.

We just have to wait...like always...
They did a commercial action and who can disagree with it???
We will have some dlc and we will enjoy every moment, so what to worry about?
I know i know it svcks but what can we do?nothing...
So we need to stay positive and wait...wait...wait...wait...
The only thing that make me think is why Kinnect...i mean lets face it, kinnect is something for what?between 11 and 17 yo???Im just guessing but i dont know ONE single person over 20 who has kinnect...am i wrong?
And if my thought is right, Skyrim its a mature game right?i mean how many guys of 13 or 14 yo do play it?So if im right(really not sure about it) why Beths aimed these kind of ages???

You failed me, and many gamers today bethesda.


KINECT

I think you're taking some liberties with your assumptions. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it childish or for 13 yr olds.

No no no...i never said Kinnect is bad, never... read again please.
I was trying to understand why Kinnect and if u read more carefully it was always a question mark...No assumptions.Just thoughts...

Perfect timing!!
I just received a new xbox with Kinect free when I signed up for a home phone and internet.
My wife is going to hate all the shouting that is about to take place

Hello Gstaff, wanna drop any hints on that DLC?

I like what u did here. Gives me a reason to not let my Kinect take on dust.

Personally I cannot wait to order Lydia off a mountain. And when she refuses FUS RO DAH her off.

Yea, I can do that now...

but still

Its not the first big expansion seems like its just something we will get while waiting for the big thing.

I'm almost 40 and I have a Kinect. Some of the Kinect games are actually quite fun.

probably FIRE ARROWZ AND FOOTPRINTZ IN DA SNOW! haha

Edit: All kidding aside tho, i hope the bigger expansions include better quests with better stories. A little more RPG mechanics.

I know Kinect isn't the expansion but check the last paragraph of the announcement. They are getting close to the real DLC.

No hints?

... okay ):

A fix for the PS3 version?

The pc mod that does voice command shouts only is found http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?%20id=5626#content, for dudes on pc that want to try this idea out right now.

Well I play it with PS3 and I don't have XBOX so can't say how young Skyrim gamers there is, but I know that there is some at PS3 (I'm 36 next saturday) and I don't care is it using in future that PS3 EYE system, but it would be nice if I could use headset to give commands etc. It brings more immerse to the game as it did with Socom I & II.
