PCPS3 Release Date Thread part 17 : V - Skyrim

» Sat Nov 17, 2012 12:10 pm

The fact that we have 17 threads about this argument proves that the majority will still buy dawnguard for pc and ps3 when it will be out on their platforms - even someone that try to convince himself and a forum of the contrary perhaps

I can understand the rage and frustration about the lack of communication but look this way :
the purpose of an exclusivity is try to sell more consoles and in the meantime - why not - to harm the rival
this is a timed exclusive,it means that there are obscure parts of a contract of which we don't know nothing - apart from the 30 days and blah blah...

Last,the purpose of a timed exclusive is explained here; they're aware of the addiction that these videogames could have on some players and are sure that you will buy however their product at the end

My guess ? When 1 month is passed from the 360 figs version we could have some real info about the pc/ps3 dawnguard release - during the august gamescom or early perhaps

But i find scaring a reaction like this about a game release date frankly when in the world we have still people dyin' for the lack of drinkable water and food

its way too early to react the way we did, the xbox deal just expired and I agree there are more important things but I kinda think saving the world is a different subject entirely

I'm more inclined to believe, patch next week or the week after that and then Dawnguard to release 2-3 weeks after the patch. After all Sony still has to certify the patch and since there's been no hint of news of Bethesda giving Sony the patch.. could be another month or so.

Exactly people thinking its coming out in August, that's a very very low chance of that happening. At least a August release on PS3 is not going to happen. Everyone should prepare for a September release, If it comes out before September then you'll be happy

A couple of posts have gone away that were encouraging piracy. Don't do it!

If dawnguard actually comes to ps3 I will have a huge NerdGasm

of course it will, it's a matter of when

From my personal perspective, against no one specifically:
I completely understand the current situation about trying to keep this thread civil and respectful, thats great! But I will continue to wonder how a company like Bethesda made such a bad decision to first release Xbox version with 30 days exclusivity, and then not to release the DLC for PC and Ps3 after that 30 days. The DLC should've not been released for Xbox in the first place until it was certain that after the 30 days it will be ready for other platforms. That was the terrible mistake Bethesda decision-makers made, and I feel somehow aggrieved about it.
I've had a strong love relationship with Bethesda games, and this kind of actions, when the DLC is already late (for most opinions), its really unbelievable. This current situation in here is not the fan's fault, and this kind of "raging" about this issue must be taken for granted when a company fails with a release like this. At least the company could take the responsibility for it and say it out loud, maybe even apologize to PC and Ps3 users (paying customers).
For my own perspective, Im really, really sad about this delay (even angry), since if the DLC is not coming out very soon, there is no time window for me to play it enough to spend my money on it. Borderlands 2 is coming out soon, and that'll take all my limited time for games for the next months to go. Of course I can get the Dawnguard DLC next summer, or something, but once again, there are many, many new games coming out and its not guaranteed that I'll have time to play Dawnguard at all. For this personal reason, Im really sad and angry about this, since I've been excited about the first DLC for Skyrim.
After all, in my opinion, Skyrim is the best game after Fo3, and it means a lot to me. When I hear someone saying "be patient, its a small thing, not the worlds biggest thing" etc.., be that anyone, thats only half the truth for some of us. Understating the passion of a true fan is not advisable :nono:

Well considering the bug density of this DLC, as it has been shown in some reviews (i.e.: kotaku) it is better if bethesda is going to polish and debug Dawnguard before it comes out for pc and PS3.
Borderlands 2 is wonderful way to wait for this dlc. I'd say that if you will play Borderlands 2 you will risk to completely forget Dawnguard!

Nobody here knows anything about PR. He is only allowed to say what he is told to, which at this point isn't very much.

"Nobody here knows anything about PR". There you're badly mistaken..

Well, for PS3 maybe. PC players can fix most gameplay bugs ourselves, most of the time without even exiting the game via console commands.

It's not about saving the world,its about an overreaction about a game release date that is totally out of my comprehension - it was a simple metaphor of course,a game isn't a priority in our lives - when it become there must be something wrong

Play implies fun in the free time for me,when i'm not entertained anymore i try to do something else

Then enlighten me, because I have yet to see a person who proves otherwise. People seem to believe that it's Pete Hine's fault or that he is a terrible PR rep, yet ignore the fact that he is extremely limited in what he is allowed to tell us.

I agree PC shouldn't have wait to because of us PS3 users, they probably afraid to divide the fanbase more

In my opinion all they had to do was state at the beginning that the Xbox version was being released first and at a later, undetermined date the other platforms would receive it.

They basically did say that. They said the Xbox 360 got a 30 day exclusive. They did not say that the PC/PS3 versions would be released immediately after, therefore, we can know that they meant it would be released at a later, undetermined date.

Yes, but for me its not just playing the game for fun. Im partly playing games as a profession nowadays, so its not that simple. I dont have time for multiple games at a time, since I work for 3 different movie production companies at the same time (as the Office Manager for 2 and the Digital Material Coordinator for 1), and Im married and otherwise active in personal life. The time for Skyrim is soon gone, when Borderlands 2, Far Cry 3, Dishonored, Crysis 3, Metro: Last Light etc.. comes out. It makes me sad that I might not be able to play Dawnguard in a long time if its not out very soon..
Its amazing that the first DLC for Skyrim is coming out 9 months after the game release, when for Fo3 we already had 4 in that time, 5th on its way :shakehead:

I hope, as a pc version owner, that you are right. I personally haven't seen mods really effective in fixing the bugs.

I didnt say he is doing bad work, or anything else, just that you never know what kind of people might be posting in here.
Im sure Pete Hine is doing what he can :deal:

but this forums is about customer entitlement(because we are entitled to great customer service) however in this case we should let Bethesda hav time to fix bugs and stuff, I agree tht we shouldn't be jumping dwn their throats, but imagine if they announced a release date but the game delayed for a month. we are entitled to complain about that if there is a lack of communication.

I see your problem, but it is better if we get a game that is playable, than getting a game with broken quests, disappearing grounds and so on. Anyway, from what i have seen we are even not so sure Dawnguard will ever be available for pc and ps3. If DG will never come out, it will be a huge letdown for me.

but in gaming community 30 day exclusive means just what it says nothing more they could have said timed exclusive like many games and dlc's in the past but didn't they should have never let that slip.

Let me just go find the part where I said that you were the one implying he was doing bad work etc...

Nope, can't find it.

He is, and like I said, he's restricted. He doesn't even have to be answering those things on his personal twitter; a lot of people like to overlook that. People need to climb from within their sphere of self entitlement and unrelenting consumer consumption.

the problem is not entitlement its lack of understanding and impatience

Actually entitlement plays a major part. Quite a few people were even demanding that the DLC be made free due to their 'suffering'.

ok wow tht is sellentitlement but I was adressing y ppl slam pete hines, but I do think if it takes longer than a month the price should be slashed

Yeah, people definitely are entitled. Our society, and the companies that sell us stuff, have done a very good job convincing people that entertainment is important. Guess what, entertainment is NOT important.

My entertainment, your entertainment, anyone's entertainment, is NOT important enough to warrant any amount of anger or frustration. You are talking about sitting around and playing a video game, there are very few things on this planet that are any less important than this.

People need to realize that despite what the companies selling you things want you to believe, being entertained is not a priority, a right or a cause to fight for.

Best point i've seen in this thread.
