PS3 Release for Dawnguard-Thread #24

Post » Sun Nov 18, 2012 4:47 am

I've just removed a few inappropriate posts. It's one thing to voice your opinions on this forum, but we do have rules that we expect all of our members to follow no matter the case. Keep in mind that our job as moderators isn't so much concerned with what you're saying so much as how you're saying it. And there's never an excuse to insult another member of this forum.

while i have a problem insulting a fellow member on the forum i dont have a problem with insulting anyone from bathesda, have at it people they treated the ps3 community like garbage, there silence is merely them buying time hoping we forget, did anyone remember Mafia 2 on the ps3???? same thing happened there.

I'm actually curious as to whether moderators are paid or not. If it's like a part time job. They're spending their time on the forums doing a service afterall.

And I don't see why beth shouldn't become xbox and PC exclusive. They seem to be in favor of them themselves as their always porting from one of those two to PS3, and they are always messing up the PS3's run through of their games. They've done alot to tarnish their reputation starting before skyrim.

It'd be alot less stress for everyone if they just did this until they got their act together.

If they can work the PS4 then fine, but I think they should take a break from PS3.




Workers must be freaking out over that idea though. They'd wipe out an entire group of employees leaving them jobless.

It's not like those employees are actually doing anything productive, just look at their track record. If anything they SHOULD fire them, and hire people that actually know what they're doing.

Having to get help from Sony shows how competent their coders are with the PS3.

I agree, fire the Ps3 coders; they're obviously incompetent. If that means no more Ps3 games from Beth until the Ps4 is out I'm fine. As long as I get the next TES game bug free coded by people with degrees not obtained from the University of Phoenix.

i bet if i had a 360 and played that version it would be night and day and then be yelling "WHY THE HELL DOESNT IT PLAY LIKE THIS ON PS3!!!!". Ive only played it on my friend PC however this was before i knew of the problems the ps3 version had so i can not compare nor remember how smoothly it played.
Oh, the Xbox version does have its share of issues with Dawnguard installed, excessive lag in some of the Dwarven ruins for example.

I can't think of any profession that allows you to be employed with the kind of ineptitude Bethesda has shown. They've made plenty of money by selling an unfinished, and broken game early. And made plenty of money off of microsoft. They should have more than enough by now to afford some decent talent.

I would LOVE to see Microsoft ask for their money back. If Bethesda couldn't get DLC working after a month of exclusivity, then they shouldn't require their money. It sounds like Bethesda may have also lied to Microsoft, and screwed them out of money. It'd make me feel better about being a PS3 owner.

Plenty of companies have zero issues working with the PS3. It's not overly complicated, just different. Bethesda has had around 7 years to learn how to work with the PS3, and have obviously chosen not too.

The excuse of the PS3 being complicated was acceptable then, not now. Bethesda's idea of coding a Playstation game is to just port the 360 version, and rig it with band-aids and bailing wire until it can barely run.

Also, the companies that do experience problems with the PS3 are able to fix them relatively easily. After Rockstar patched their games, I stopped experiencing any problems.

That's just specific to dawnguard though.

Same issue with me here on PC.

They simply released another half baked product.

well I think dawnguard has caused the save game bloat to erupt to a situation similar to the ps3s save game bloat problem. what im saying is it has little to do with Sony xbox has the same issues just less frequent do you also blame the xbox?

That's a good point about Bugthesda 'screwing' MS. MS paid money to have a month headstart with DG but recently Pete Hines tweeted that it wouldn't matter if that exclusivity deal never mattered and that we still wouldn't have PS3 DG so therefore MS paid money for this deal for no reason. Hmmm. You could say that it meant that the XBOX had DG a month before PC and therefore MS did technically get an exclusivity deal but it's not the same in my opinion, the XBOX and PC are not competing in the same way as the PS3 and the XBOX does and I suspect MS feel the same way.
So MS pays money to get DG before PS3 but we now know that that was a pointless investment as PS3 wouldn't have DG by now anyway. The point is, did Bugthesda knowingly take MS money knowing that the PS3 version wouldn't be here for months after the XBOX release. Keep in mind that Bugthesda has already knowingly released a buggy broken PS3 version on 11/11/11, we already know that they are not trustworthy. Personally I think MS ought to take a look at this.

I'm sorry but why would anyone buy the PS3 version of Skyrim after experiencing how Fallout 3 and New Vegas was like? I've never played those games and I thought about getting them some months back to make time go by during my wait for Dawnguard back in May. But when I looked at the reviews of the games, I read so many bad news. Had I known about how bad these games played on the PS3, I wouldn't have even considered buying Skyrim for PS3 for fear it would be the exact same problem as Bethesda previous games and it is the exact same problem! I have heard they are not even going to fix the Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition at the state it is in. You can barely even move. Now if they don't give a darn about Fallout 3 GOTY Edition and Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition, I see no reason why Skyrim would be any different.

I'd been lucky with all my Bethesda games on the PS3. I own FO3 GOTY and FO:NV with all dlc's and I've never had any issues at all with my copies (or if I did they were so minimal I can't even recall them). I had minimal issues with Skyrim as well on my PS3. I don't know if it's my specific system (fat 80gb unit) but it's hard for me to believe my game plays perfectly yet the next guys says his is unplayable. If it works on one PS3 why doesn't it work on another?

Nope I've been considering Bethesda to be a company to release products half baked and partially tested for quite a while.

Moderator positions tend to be voluntary or rarely they are "Associated duties", contracted extra responsibilities relevant to the post held.

The voluntary positions are usually held by people who enjoy the work or know it is a plus point when it comes to annual review time. ;)
