The PS3 fanbase is 13 of Skyrim, how could Bethesda ignore?

Post » Wed Nov 07, 2012 5:44 am

1/3 of all owners of Skyrim is huge. Over 4 million, that's right, over 4 million people play Skyrim on PS3. Not only that but the reason I wanted to make this post was the amount of anger towards Bethesda I've seen. Everytime there is a pic having to do with Skyrim or TES in general on Facebook, every other post is about the PS3 version. Also everytime news about a new DLC comes out, there are articles everywhere not even talking about the new DLC but if the PS3 will ever get it and how Bethesda is incompetent.

How will Bethesda respond? I've never seen so much fan outrage over a game ever.

They'll respond as they've responded for months: "Calm down, we're working on "content" for all platforms, will share another non-update when we have one."

If Bethesda really cared about ps3 users, they wouldn't have shipped Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas and now Skyrim in a broken state, and we would have DLC.

Because they hire people who clearly don't have the skills to be working on the ps3 platform.

They need to release a behind the scenes type documentary video showing some of what they are working on...to let us know that they actually are working on it and making real progress...

I don't think it is a matter of skill, I think it's more one of motivation. I honestly think that if Bethesda wanted to make a game that worked properly on PS3 they could, the sad fact is, they just don't want to spend the time in doing so.

For me and many others though, the state of the game and the lack of DLC have become the secondary issue. After yesterday's pathetic show from GStaff on the blog (he flat out refused to answer questions relating to the exclusivity of Dragonborn or progress on PS3 DLC) it's the lies that surround the PS3 version of Skyrim that we're angry about. The claim to have learned from Fallout 3, the claim that the PS3 had received tons of attention and would on par with the 360 receiving the same level of support after launch. The claim that after Dawnguard failed to appear after 30 days that Bethesda have been forever "working on it" with zero progress made. The lies are mounting up and I think it's time for people to move away from the lack of DLC and state of the game and start challenging Bethesda on those lies.

Can't wait to see all of the articles pop up today, it's going to be awesome.

Because they hire people who clearly don't have the balls to tell MS to [censored] off.

Fixed.

Because they already have our money so they have no further motivation.

^^ I think it's more like that.
But I still ask myself what lies they will tell us when Fallout 4 is announced. I mean even IGN noticed that "new engine" and "lots of attention" did not reflect the truth.

Even though we make up 1/3rd of their fan base our console "doesn't exist" as fai as Beth are concerned. Id love to be proved wrong Beth but you need to prove to us that our community MATTERS!!!!! :wallbash:

Also it seems to me that nobady at Beth at can count, as pre relese they clearly stated that the first 2 DLC's would have a 30 day xbox exclusive but DG,HF & now DB has also got the 30 exclusive, that makes 3 NOT 2 so yet another pre game release lie they told us. Just like the "we are working on content for the PS3" lie!!
