So, I've been following this for a few days now in the darkest depths of the Guest Void. So now, I feel like I should post my two cents.

Bethesda has, and always will, hold that special place in my heart as the preferred developer in my eyes. The only game I've truly been upset with is New Vegas, and they didn't actually make the game, Obsidian did. So with Skyrim, and of course Dawnguard (Delayedguard as it's now being referred to occasionally.. as to why, I have no idea seeing as there was never an established date to begin with.) they have my full support. BUT, I am upset with how this was handled on their end. As a player, I understand how some companies have to keep their mouth shut on certain things, especially when dealing with M$, but as a customer.. I feel I'm entitled to at least, "Uhh... really, we have no clue when, in all honesty. Sorry guys." Even if it's the same bs, every other day.

For this being released on PC before PS3, I really cannot form any solid opinion. From what I've picked up, porting to the PS3 is like trying to water in the desert. Not happening without a large amount of effort, yet I am a little impatient. I understand that Bethesda wants to do some qualoity control but c'mon, with holding an entire DLC because some people may have an issue? I've always been told, and pretty much agree that it is impossible, not matter how hard a developer tries, to iron out every single bug. Having 100 testers vs. 1,000,000 Players. Bug are going to pop up. But let me clarify, I'm not upset PS3 is last, (Came with the territory of being a PS3 Gamer.) I am upset at the reason, and the post they made as to why.

Will I buy Dawnguard? The day it comes out. But I'll be damned if I don't do my part as a loyal customer as voice my dissatisfaction either. Please Bethesda, you have a legion of customers who WANT to give you their money for a solid product, all you need to do is listen just a little.

I would point out that it does depend on the severity of the bug. Ironing out all bugs is impossible. Ironing out the serious ones, is.

Feels like Beth justslapped me across the face with this.
At least they're making SOME progress with the PS3.

The question then becomes, "Is it positive progress, or negative?"

Also... Maybe someone could clarify this (I wish Murt was here) but the 1.06 was rolled into the 1.07 patch, correct? But wasn't the 1.07 patch basically for DG? If that's so....and the quality is still in question...then why bother with that patch now?

wow! well, while i am disappointed that ps3 is last on the list again, i am very happy to hear news. i'm also glad to hear that the patch was given to sony.

i'd MUCH rather be in the loop rather than left in limbo like last week. i'm an advlt & understand that things can happen so a bit of waiting is ok, so long as i'm left in the loop. all you gotta do is say something about the progress. people are a lot more forgiving when they see that you're really trying.

thanks for the news and keep us posted bethesda

I wish I could say the same.. I have been scammed by bethesda once and I heard that they bought one of my favorite series.. STALKER.... And knowing Bethesda.. They won't make it as good as the original.. So if its true.. Which im quite positive it is since who it was said by.. Stalker will never shine the same again.. Unless Bethesda does a 360..

Did you read their statement? I'm not so sure PS3 will get a good performance Dawnguard. Ever.

I laughed so much when I read this


DIdn't even have word about what was up with 1.6 until it was out for 2 months on other platforms, at which point we were told we weren't going to be getting it until 1.7 comes out, which, last I heard, hasn't even been submitted to Sony yet, meaning we're unlikely to see it get released until mid-August at the earliest.


We don't get access to any of the mods that PC users have. I have asked Gstaff about the Portal 2 mod for Skyrim and the Unofficial Patch, and Gstaff told me that they have no intention of ever having either of those come to consoles.


Which we don't have either.

So pretty much, out of the three things Bethesda listed that they strive to make sure all customers get, we've been excluded at least once on all of them so far. No patch 1.6, no mods, and for the foreseeable future, no DLC.

I do believe the writing is on the proverbial wall.

I wonder if self patching is possible.. Idk if it is aloud but it probably should be since you own the game once you pay for it.. And its single player only without any rank board.. I have for PC.. Just wondering these things..

You can almost hear the swivel chairs turn as people begin typing their "it's the ps3's fault" response to this.

Im going to patiently wait till it comes out, if it isnt reduced price im trading in my game. my opinion is that we wont see it for months

FOR THE SIX WHOLE DOLLARS ILL GET FOR IT WOOO!

Make a Ebay account just for this.. Since gamestop are scammers along with Bethesda..

I'm guessing 3-4 weeks. At least they're giving us a reason for it being late, but I would still like an apology before handing them more money.

Sorry for the off topic post but, gamestop prices on trade-ins are logical when you think about it . When you trade in a game, game stop is not guaranteed to sell that game in a reasonable amount of time if ever so they need to have their prices the way they are in case the used game sits on the shelf for like six months. Also how is Bethesda scamming anyone?

Why did Bethesda even bother to release this game on PS3? We had the worst performance issues at launch & now we're being shunned with DLC. This company has blatantly shown their true colors when it comes down to its user base. They should continue being MS's [censored] & keep it real with PC players. Just leave the PS3 to genuine developers that actually wanna release great games on the platform.

Oh Really your not satisfied with Dawnguards performance on the PS3? Neither am I, because I don't have it, because I have a Playstation. You say you want everyone to have a chance to play dawnguard, yet you give M$ a 30 day exclusive to it, so you seriously took time out of your day to make sure PC and PS3 DIDN'T get it. You wont release it for PS3 knowing that my gameplay experience will be worse?? Serious? It going to take two months to make it playable on my PS3...thats insane.

Oh wow FREE UPDATES for my broken game that had such lag after 60 hours of game play I couldn't play it at all, then I get a patch where if i walked waist deep in water my game crashed every single time, needless to state all the minor bugs that all add'ed up including but not limited too Skjor ressurecting after he had died in the companions quest or maybe when I killed a dragon in the air it would in-diffidently spiral forever into the air into space, or maybe when I killed a dragon on the ground it would fall through the floor and I get no soul. Also tell me are there other games that charge money for updates, because I haven't ever owned a game where i was charged for updates for my broken product. Oh really your going to talk to me about your user mods in the same news AS THE PS3 DELAY, echem "PS3" meaning I cant have those, ever, because I play this game on my playstation... Oh and the paid DLC...lol which I don't have... Yah I doubt your as disappointed as I am..keep striving for whatever [censored] reality your in, wish I could be there with you.

When I got home from my mediocre day out I see a PS3 update, received massive boner, then I read it and started crying. Seriously not even a [censored] guess at when it will be ready. You tell me you don't want hostile post's..Lol did you read the same thing I read? Honestly I wanted to put this entire post in all caps and all you would be able to read is the classic "[censored]" I would be less hostile if the news I have been waiting for didn't feel like they kicked my dog and punched me in the crotch, just the most smug cocky post ever especially the "Free updates" who the hell are you? I'm sure because my post is full of me not being happy it will just be deleted anyway by some mod who just isn't really waiting for Dawnguard and who didn't already put money into his PSN account that is non refundable the day Dawngaurd was announced. Whatever, I'm clearly unhappy.

BTW..about the free update...I'm still missing 1.6/1.7-JUST saying.

The niceset way I can cay what im thinking is this; lmfao at people who are still not happy with this recent announcement! I say bethesda takes names and releases Dawnguard to the people who are still whinning, with the agreement that they cant come here to complain. LOL!!! You guys are too much and are making the fanbase look bad. I for one am no longer frusterated at all. All I wanted was conformation that it would be released on PS3. Now that I have that im perfectly happy to wait for them to hammer out all the bugs they can.

Thank you Bethesda!!!! And if you are reading this im not kidding about releasing it to those who want it NOW. HA!

Wow, just saw the guys post who wants an apology before buying it. Again, lol!!!!!! Seriously? Wow...Thanks for the laugh though!!!!

Edit again, just read through more, you feel like you got slapped in the face!!! Oh man, this is a good night lol!!!

^Epic post.

More like epic fail post

You said you're pumped that DG is coming to ps3? Well, that still might not ever happen. You are assuming they will fix the issues within it. Have they fixed the ones already apparent in the vanilla game? Nope. Laugh away, Merrill. Cause the jokes on you.

To be fair I don't think they hate "you". They most likely hate the PS3 architecture that forces developers to make a separate batch of code for that specific platform. (xbox and pc are identical) This "hate" can be seen in countless other multi-platform games than run great on pc/xbox but terrible on PS3. I'm not saying it's right, because it isn't. I just hope Sony makes a more developer friendly console next generation

Maybe Bethesda should just not release a game when they obviously can't code for it?

If they don't want to put out the effort to code properly for the PS3 and put out a half a@@ game then they shouldn't charge us full price just saying.

We'll see who has the last laugh. But just to make it fun, after Dawnguard is released on ps3, im gonna hit you up and you have to say that you were wrong. Deal? (im serious btw)
