Doubtful we will ever get an update on the PS3 besides "we give up."

I think we have all come to the conclusion, it has been said many times, that there is no way to "fix" the PS3 version. Elevating it to a "level of parity" with the other consoles would take a complete reprogramming and re-release. Something Bethesda is not prepared or able to do. They have had years to work on the issues their games have on the PS3 console, yet they have done absolutely nothing. I don't think their status quo will change.

I'll guess that it will be next week at the earliest before Gstaff is OK'd to answer anything other than technical queries on the blog. As to Tweet Hines, i doubt he'll resurface until after the holidays are in full swing and he wants to play up an appearance at a trade-show in Timbuktu or some other god'sforsaken place.

I just hope they come to KoP or Philadelphia. Never will happen though.
Maybe Boston or NY.

If the purchase of a game or playing of one is effecting your life or view your life in a negative fashion, its time to step away from gaming and reconsider what is truly important to you in life. As its clear something is vastly amiss and need's to be corrected, and a forum is the worst place to look for sympathy.

Quick interjection: Having a life and being able to follow this ongoing issue are NOT mutually exclusive. And not speaking for DTF in anyway, but the man just recently got married, so at least a major part of his life is firing on all cylinders-goes to figure that other bits of it are doing ok as well.

Just saying.

Understood and received

It's the purchsae of any product. It doesn't affect my life in such a degree, but I did spend good money on it.

I really don't need life lessons from you or anyone on these boards. I'm going to be 30 in about a month, just got married to a wonderful woman who accepts my polyamorous lifestyle, have a steady and secure job because I'm good at what I do and joined a company that has seen nothing but growth even through the tough economy (we were worth about 200m 5 years ago, now worth close to a billion), I'm a father of a 14 month y/o old son who was born 10 weeks early but is healthy today due to our (his mother and I) due dilligence and some incredible nursing staff help, have a healthy hobby in building leisure activity furniture....I could go on and on about what is right in my life, but it would probably be more effective to explain all the things I did wrong too but I'll just leave it at this: I'm fortunate enough to have been wise enough not to be caught and got out while I could. I made a lot of mistakes in my early 20's that could have landed me in jail or resulted in the end of my life. I played it smart and when it was time to get out, I did.

No one is looking for sympathy here. We're looking for answers and solutions. Or have you missed that general concept in now 34 threads of posts?

I apologize if you feel I snipped at you a bit, but don't ever comment on my life structure. You don't know it and while I may or not be more successful than you (and I could not care less if I am or not, I don't compare lives that way), I'm more than stable in everything I do which I can not say for yourself but I won't say either because I simply don't know. The most important things are my family and our well-being. If you're all for laying down when someone attempts to screw you over, as "trivial" as it may be, that is all on you and good for you. I don't take it lightly and I never will. If I did, I can guarantee you I wouldn't be alive today.

In short conclusion: My life is of no concern to you unless I'm actually causing a physical stress upon yourself.

That's all I got, rant over. We cool.

Just curious..... how long would I have to be a Mod before I can get Dishonored for free, a t-shirt and maybe a cool Dragon statue ?

Your deserve a reward for the Profile picture

Understood I am avoiding long posts right now to daunting to type one and my reply was directed at Strad_37 post that you quoted.

Im predicting thread 50. It'll be at least Christmas by then. They gotta release a statement some time before or a couple days after that.

Im a playstation 3 but im giving Beth sometime to get Dawnguard together they are working on many projects .Im not flamin or blaming them .Just hope to hear some news after Dragonborn dlc content is complete .hardcoe elderscrolls fan .

The whole thing with games is that for some people it's a hobby. Personally they're works of art, you have acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, story writing, all these on their own is an art. Landscapping and painting the terrain to make it look "real" is an art in and of itself. People immerse themselves in games to get away from their lives for a while. With the poor economy, some coming from broken homes, not knowing if they'll actually live to see tomorrow because of street violence or even violence in their homes. A lot of our players are under 21, live at home still and some are not in the best of worlds. Games like Skyrim allow for a release, just for a little while to actually feel better. To get away for just a little bit. To enjoy themselves, it's why we goto concerts, movies, sport games, out with friends, read books and be immersed in the story. Videogames can immerse players with the story being told, the world presented to them. It is people whom like myself as I'm finishing my Associates Degree in Game Development will be making these games, to engross players in worlds and story. To bring enjoyment to others. THAT is the big issue, that enjoyment and basically giving people a small taste of freedom and salvation for just a little bit which might save their lives somehow. Preventing some from self harm and other tragic events to themselves, because the story might inspire them. I've played games longer than what some of the customer base has been alive(I'm 28 and first game I played was Pong at the age of 4). I've played role-playing games a large portion of my life and still do now. For a company to break the hopes of players to continue that small bit of hope is a very painful reality and it hurts. So yes it is a big deal to some people, and some of the demographic that the game has reached probably has been touched. The story itself makes you choose a side where there's no clear right or wrong. Save the province from a dieing empire, or try to renew order and keep it apart of the empire? We recently had an election in the US with very similar consequences. Politics aside, you have a company which makes games that brings great enjoyment and time of peace and happiness who then goes dead silent when a portion of their demographic is seemingly ignored, given very little news and constantly sees that they're pushed aside.

To my personally as a student going into the Industry, it's a learning experience one of which that I'll carry with me for a long time. Don't ignore your customer base, try to keep them as much in the know as possible even if it may break the "status quo". You keep the customers in the know, you'll have their trust better and they'll support and invest in you in the future. I understand that the problem greatly deals with memory allocation and purging from what I understand. I will openly admit, I still wouldn't mind working for Bethesda as a level designer. Just moving to their location is hard to justify in reality right now. So for now I do modding to build experience in how to design good levels, learning what does and does not work.

Long story short.. while as a PS3 and PC gamer I am greatly disheartened and sometimes disgusted and yet amused by how things are going and the whole issue. I understand completely, I sit back watch keep an eye on it. And do other things, my education, career and life are more important, and besides there's other games out there both old and new I can play to pass the time. I wish we get DLC as I'd like to sit with my console and enjoy playing the game. I wish luck to Bethesda and to my fellow PS3 Skyrim owners. Just if you want change, do something.

Depends upon how long before the next game comes out. It's not retroactive.

That said, let's get back on topic. Moderators don't mind answering questions about what we do and how we do it, in fact we sometimes have topics in CD called "ask the mods" where we all answer questions for people. We also try to answer all of our pm's that folks send to ask questions about why we did something or about the rules of the forum. And on occasion we will answer a couple of questions in other threads as long as it doesn't entirely derail the topic. This thread has now been majorly derailed however and Rohugh has answered a few question for you but it's not time to get back on topic.

We do offer our support and understanding of this but we still expect that everyone will follow the rules of the forum. We have a rule about "off topic discussion" and one regarding discussion of moderator actions or inactions on the open forum". We don't allow either one. We also don't allow people to flame one another or bypassing the autocensor and use of profanities. It is entirely possible to get across the point of one's disappointment or to disagree or to be critical without breaking those rules.

And that is all we ask as moderators. Don't post to complain about moderator actions but rather if you feel they did something wrong, send them a nice pm to ask why. If they don't satisfy you with their answer you can take that complaint to a community manager. Don't call one another names or put them down because you disagree with them. It's ok to disagree with one another. Nobody expects everyone to agree. It's fine to be mad at Bethesda as a company for how they handle things and to express such as long as you don't discuss petitions or boycotts here or threaten harm to their employees or volunteers. It's ok to be mad as long as you don't bypass the autocensor.

I strongly suggest people take the time to read the rules of the forum and to then read and re-read their posts before actually posting to ensure their post is within the rules of the forum. Because as long as you follow those rules, moderators won't interfere. If you see moderator direction it's a plea to members to follow the rules because should you not we do have to warn and suspend you and we would much rather let folks get things off their chest and to express their anger or their viewpoints while staying within those rules. The so called "threats", as some of you call them, are actually pleas to try and educate you about the rules which you agreed to follow when you joined. So instead of seeing them as "threats" please see them for what they are....a chance to get back on topic, a chance to not discuss moderator action on the open forum, a chance to stop flaming and to give members an opportunity to state how they feel about an issue while avoiding those warnings and bans. Our job is much easier if you follow our direction and we don't have to issue a warning. Because giving a warning isn't just a button we push. We must send you a pm, give the warning, log it in admin and then answer messages from folks about it. (some of which are pretty nasty). It's not something we enjoy. But we do enjoy keeping the forum orderly so people can have threads about other things they want to discuss and so members can continue to express themselves without fear of being flamed. We do what we do for the members of this forum. Moderators are not your enemy and have nothing to do with these DLC's being released for PS3. We just want you to express your anger or your joy or your displeasure within the rules of the forum.

So all that said, can we please get back on topic.

You DO know what Bethesda HAS communicated. They blame themselves for not getting content for DLC. They WERE working on bringing it forth. They were NOT going to comment on it until they had something. You also know this has been going on for months with no workable solutions.

Now we get into assumptions. You can assume they are still working on it and have made little progress. People speculated by this 3rd DLC that PS3 users were in the mix based on a line in a patch. Still nothing.

My assumption is when there's a complete blackout, not just to PS3 users but also almost no communication upon a huge, likely centerpiece DLC for this game like Dragonborn they are being sheepish about statements because they not only have nothing but they are done working on the PS3 potential content. It's like you are back in high school and you took your Dad's new sports car and wrapped it around a telephone pole, came home, and your parents are gushing about your straight A report card you flipped on the counter for them to read. It's a great report card, maybe your best ever, but you know once you try to talk about it, your Dad's going to ask where his car is.

That's where the story is now for Bethesda.

So do I have to wait until a modderator goes into sovengarde before I can be picked ? Is the an initation ? No whips or chains... ok maybe some whip. Is there some kinda rule about not talking about mod club ? Is there anything higher than a 34 degree mod ? Do you guys really have an alien stashed away ? Who killed Kennedy ?...... Whoa got carried away there.




Long live Dawnguard on the PS3*


*obligatory PS3 Dawnguard comment.

I have decided to buy my Bro. the Halo 4 version of the Xbox360 so I can have his. Because I started to play Dawngaurd on the 360 and I want to finsh it and I never got to build a house for my adopted little brats. I will keep my Playstation 3 of course as I us it to play free online games. I will have both so i can play exclusive games on them.... I miss the cheeze !

This is exactly what playstation should fear as fallout of this mess.

Still m no word....aye..

There is nothing for playstation to fear from me or Bethesda for that matter. I've bought three Playstation 3s and five copys of Skyrim so far for vairus reasons... But the cheeeeeezee will get better, or it won't ! Right?

I believe even the crickets have grown silent. Maybe from fear of being eaten alive.

I believe all businesses have concern about market share. It's what drives things like "exclusive content"

Lots of whips and chains - you have no idea.

Some great discussions on this thread section. Kudos to many of the fellow PS3 users that are having to put up with this ever increasing pile of crap from Bethesda. It IS just a game, but it's a game we all purchased because we were promised a quality gaming experience when we get through with the pressures of our real life, and just want to relax, chill, and/or enjoy a little escapism.
Except that we are not getting that at all. We are getting the reverse. And leaving us in the dark is making it worse. This damn game no longer serves as a source of relaxation for me. Now it just pisses me off.
They made a legal promise to me when I purchased this game. They have breached that promise. They have breached their warranties. They put on the game literature and in subsequent release memos that they were releasing add on content for my game. They have not only not done that, they have lied to me about how they were going to do that, when they were going to do that, and how much of the new content that I would get. And now they have slapped me in the face by putting me off and refusing to talk to me, and further won't confirm whether my glitchy product will ever be fixed, or if I can ever look forward to DLC as promised. This is the worst form of fraud, misrepresentation, and breach of warranty that I have seen from a gaming company in ...EVER!!!!
Just wanted to continue to voice my opinion and keep this thread going, and document an ongoing and continuing legal wrong that is being perpetrated against us every day...

I want halo 4 just don't have the money too get it Boredom is not helping the matter, besides I got to think of my little ones first with christmas around the corner
