well this gives me hope. After much patience and tolerance,http://www.examiner.com/topic/playstation-3 owners may be on the verge of good news regarding “The Elder Scrolls V:http://www.examiner.com/topic/skyrim” as Bethesda Softworks Tweeted an ambiguous message on Wednesday evening which gives hope that “Skyrim” DLC will soon release on http://www.examiner.com/topic/ps3.
On Wednesday, the official Bethesda Game Studios http://twitter.com/BGS_Devs/status/266310658306473985:[indent]
"To update: we’re also close on new Skyrim content for PS3 and PC.”[/indent]
As you may recall, PlayStation 3 “Skyrim” owners have been patiently waiting for an update regarding “http://www.examiner.com/topic/dawnguard” as the content was indefinitely delayed due to performance issues. Sony and Bethesda have since teamed up to address the problems in search for a solution.
Whether this Tweet relates to “Dawnguard” or another “Skyrim” expansion cannot be determined at this time, however, it is a small step in the right direction for Bethesda and PlayStation 3 “Skyrim” players. Hopefully the next update isn’t far off.
To date, the Xbox 360 and PC have received a couple “Skyrim” expansions with “Dawnguard” and “Hearthfire” downloadable content. Earlier this week we detailed the “Dragonborn” downloadable expansion which is scheduled to be released for Xbox 360 December 4, 2012 for $20 (1600 Microsoft Points).

sorry words somehow changed color

I am really not sure what to think about it somehow I doubt that they made DG and HF, DB work on PS 3 maybe they made small dlc that allows making dragonbone weapones amd gives face changer something that people really wanted, but lets not lie to ourselves it was practicaly a year already most people complitly finished skyrim on ps3 and I don't think that abilty to make new weapons will make them want to go back to play again

well you may have lost hope but this crazy dovahkiin has not. yes im upset i had to wait this long but i wont give up the hope. i need new enemies to fus ro duh at.

If they found a solution to the problems the game is suffering from then all 3 DLC'S will work. The fact they announced content means there is a good chance they solved the issues.

To be honest Beth has ignored most of the issues reported to them on all systems; how many times have you read the line "fixed rare issue..."

There's still day one issues not fixed etc. By all means I'll give due credit if they actually fix these issues in the near future.

Based on this I'm not raising any high hopes of anything beyond a token(ish) gesture.

Much credit to the optimists though, without you guys we'd all be hunddled in caves in the cold saying things like "so this fire thing, I don't think it'll catch on..." Much respect is owed to optimists!

I am not optimist...I am a gamer who's learned there is no such thing as a bug free game, Only people who believe their games are bug free. A game can be playable but still have issues, Ill give up my soul the day a game is made that is truly 100% free of bugs,glitches and programming loop holes.

Don't give them too much credit though, because if we did that, we'd all be eating radium hoping it'd give us the same powers as Spiderman.

I wasn't specifically reffering to yourself Azrim, just the optimists in general.

Oh there's no bug free game or free dinners. It's just the scale of the bugs that's the problem.

I've played Assassin's Creed and had elastic guards pinging all over the show after they've been killed. That can be written off as occassional and a bit humerous. Ridiculously bad frame rate, crashes, broken quests etc etc etc is a whole other can of worms.

I'll wait and see, if I'm wrong I'm wrong.

That's become my attitude too. Not just about if I'm wrong about us actually getting the same DLC as other platforms, but also about whether it works or not. I know I'm not going to be rushing out to download anything Bethesda puts out. I'm still on 1.4 because of their history with patches, and I'm certainly not going to be paying top dollar for DLC and updating to their latest version without guarantees that they're actually going to work. Too say I'm skeptical is to understate to the extreme.

People can call me a pessimist all they want, but it's not going to change the fact that I believe Bethesda broke my trust, ripped me off, and proved themselves to be grossly ill-prepared for making games on the PS3, and I'm not about to let that all wash away because they claim to have fixed the issues. Their patch notes document fixes that aren't real (I still have ashes not clearing up), so as far as I'm concerned, they're past the point of me trusting them on their words alone. I'll late braver souls test the waters before I dip my feet in with this company from now on.

That being said, I'd LOVE to be proven wrong on this. I just doubt I will be.

I have to agree with this especially when it took them what 7 months on dlc for fallout and what did we get probably the moat unplayable dlc in history and now it's what 4 months and there close. you know it would be a great time for bethesda to release it with winter coming and so many games that unplayable skyrim dlc will not get attention from gaming media

I would like to think they got the issues fixed enough to give the PS3 community Dragonborn. Being as that Dragonborn will take place outside Skyrim its not to far fetched a thought, and it would fit with Bethesda's sudden change in behavior..

Hi just joined.

I really wish Bethesda would just state if they can't get it to work, if they did I could just move on and get Skyrim for the 360 or PC the waiting for some news really is frustrating and I really loved Skyrim I even platinumed it, which is an achievement because the PS3 version was so buggy. So yeah if you can't get it to work on the PS3 Bethesda can you please say so, so I can buy it on another platform?

If you're going to buy it for another platform make sure you buy it second hand. No point in rewarding Bethesda for the incompetent job they did making the PS3 version - not to mention the lack of DLCs.

It can be easily inferred from my posts the amount of love i have for Bethesda atm, but wanted to say this is not the only company that handles fixing bugs/glitches the way they do. A company that i have been a long-time customer of treats updates to their flagship MMO the same way. Fixing rare and obscure problems with an almost absurd alacrity while letting long-term proms persist. Its maddening to us players and ofttimes makes one question if the devs even play the same game outside of the test server.

Now i know TES games are not MMOs, but their open-world, do anything/anytime format has tons in common with an MMO. Just saying, at least in this area Bethesda isn't the only crew that fixes small before big on a consistent basis.


^--This.

I've played games so long that its not glitches that ever really put me out. Even the major game breaking ones. Shoot, sometimes the glitches can be seen as badass additions lol. What gets me is if/when a glitch pops up and a company downplays it or figures its too much trouble rectify, when its within their power to do so.

Oblivion Dupe Glitch Still functioning and making cash too this day

Hope they give it for free )

Now that they obviously have the DLC working for PS3...I bet what they are doing now is working on release dates...and prices. They need to be careful....if they try to sell this DLC at normal price...that would be a HUGE slap in the face to PS3 users. They are on thin ice right now...it is up to them whether or not they fall through that ice.

not that it matters but I never did figure that out on PS3......I have obilvion on the PC now and console commands rule.

I thought of a great idea the other day that would (maybe) take care of the problem and keep with lore.

What if a new caravan came to skyrim and it was essentially a cleaning guild. You pay them money, and they clean up skyrim for you. What it would basically do is reset all items that are not on the character's person and not in the character's owned property.

That's a pretty awesome idea imo. It could totally fit with the way the existing caravans work too. Everytime the 'clean-up' caravan hits the outskirts of a town, that town and all areas a set distance from the town have all loose items reset.

As we say in France: when we take a slap, we tend the other cheek.

I wonder if Bethesda is even reading these threads anymore...I mean seriously, when was the last time Gstaff posted on one of these threads?

No bigger than selling us a broken game in the first place, then leaving it broken for four months. Then delaying title content fixes for three months. Then telling us there might be no DLC and going silent for four months.

I agree they should significantly (30% ?) reduce the price of DG, maybe HF also. Commensurate with the delays from the other platforms release dates. If they do I will test the water and buy, if they are full priced I'm probably just going to pass.

They have fallen through the ice, are being weighed down by the sacks of gold from pre-order sales and collectors editions. Right now they are grasping at the life preserver that Sony has (apparently) thrown to them.

Hopefully they can grab on and will make it worth our while to pull them out.

Otherwise I won't mind watching through the ice as the heat drains from their corpse and cyanosis discolors their lifeless fingertips clawing ... clawing...

er..


whatever, meh, its just a game right?

Just a game true, but real world shenanigans.
