FOR THE LAST TIME.....THERE IS NO REASON TO BELIEVE THAT DAWNGUARD IS CANCELLED FOR PS3...IT HAS BEEN TWEETED BY PETE HINES. CHECK ON MY LINK ON PAGE 3. ANYONE WHO IS THINKING/SAYING IT IS CANCELLED, IS JUST TRYING TO CREAT CHAOS. WE DONT NEED ANY OF THAT IN HERE.

Lol! You might as well just put the thing in your signature!

[ZANEY82]

A meal is something you can only "use" once and is time limited due to health issues. DLC content you can use as much as you like for life, there is no time limit and doesnt cause any health issues by being "late".

Discount makes zero sense to me. You folks want it cheaper just because you have to wait? Yeah right.

Yes, I agree. Games get delayed literally all the time. It's a very common thing and they can't be throwing discounts around to everyone that expected it to come out on a certain previously set date.

That's most likely one of the main reasons they're not setting another date for the PS3 release. If it does come up to where it needs to be delayed again, users will just grow more angry.

If it comes out a month from now it may as well have been cancelled. DLC relies on hype to sell, honestly my excitement for Dawnguard is next to zero at this point.

I don't forsee people spending 20$ on an addon that is very old news, and as many people have stated not worth the money it's being offered for.

Well, Rock of Ages sold pretty well on PSN for a game that was released 11 months late on PS3. And If people weren't interested in Dawnguard anymore, there wouldn't have any threads in this forum predicting its release date and demanding news.

Well, at least I'm still on the hype regarding DG. Even if it got a 0 and be considered the worst DLC in history I'd still gladly pay 20 bucks and enjoy it, and for this I consider myself fortunate (I would hate to lose interess in Dawnguard, as I already did for many other games/DLCs before)

[Sarah Kim]

Mr. Tweet verifys Dawngaurd DLC is not cancelled yet, they are still "working on it". Fine, so how about finishing the communication. NO release date is necessary, but a plege / confirmation that Bethesda definitely will release it at some point in the future would go a long way with us. Make a COMITTMENT to your PS3 patrons Bethesda! Enough with the sidestepping , and ambiguous BS. The longer you draw this situation out , the worse you look......

They spend all that time and money working on the PS3 version, they seem committed enough to me. Since they have no date to give us, what do you expect them to say? They already said they are still working on it.

I just have to say the logic here seemed flawed. They give you the meal free because of the inconvenience, and in no way for any health concerns. It's to keep you as a customer.

If they gave you food 2 hours late, and it was from 2 hours ago, then it is a health concern. But most likely you're not getting the food from 2 hours ago served to you. If that were the case theres absolutely no reason to give it to you so much later because it's already made. And even if they did give you that food, and gave it to you for free, it in no way went around the health concern, is considered bad food, and it would be cold and all this other crap. Just throwing that out there.

As for it would be horrible to be biased to PS3 users and would piss off other system users, well they're already biased to 360 so not much said there. But I do agree, alot of the sales are from the hype. Look at SWTOR, so many people on there at first PURELY out of hype. Dying now, but it was very popular and the quickest growing MMO purely out of hype.

Take the hype away and you still get sales, but not the people who are so excited they just want to throw their money. Those people are gonna be lost soon as frustration builds. Others are putting off when they'll buy because other situations are now popping up that will demand more attention such as school.



And some of you keep saying calm down it's not cancelled. We know it's not cancelled, but we don't know when it will be released.

If it's months down the line some of us won't or can't wait for it. And the hype certainly will die down by then.

Most people buy CoD in the first week. If you didn't get it then 5 months later you're not gonna think about getting it still most likely. I never bought BF3, but someone lent it to me. I was never gonna go out and buy it since I didn't initially cause I lost the hype for it. Just watched some youtube vids of it, and I was like ooh thats interesting. Now i've seen it, all done. Ima just be repeating it.

People who wait half a year before buying assassins creed after it's released and stuff, it doesnt happen often. And the fact that it's been so long in such a situation will actually turn me off from buying it unless it's discounted. It's weird to see PS3 games a year old still selling at 60 bucks lol

[Christina Trayler]

When you go to a restaurant and order a meal and it takes 2 hours for them to bring it. they give it to you for free. When you tell a bunch of gamers that there is a 30 day exclusivity deal keeping them from buying something and then 2 weeks after you are still scrambling to get it to them... you give them a discount.

Makes sense to me.

When you go to a restaurant you're there for one reason and one reason alone. You're there to buy a meal and eat. You don't have anything else to do there except eat. So if your meal takes a long time to get to you then that's on the restaurant and it's up to them to decide whether you get a discount or not.

As for buying a delayed game, that's completely different. You'renot sitting at a table waisting time waiting for this specific game to come out. Once it's finished and released you can buy it at your own will and it will be there for anyone and everyone no matter how long it's been out.

Then when it does finally come out no one is forcing you to buy it. It's up to whether your willing to spend the money to buy it. Whether it comes out next week or next month the content in the game won't change. Yes, the hype will have died down but does that really matter?

And I've stated this several times already in this thread. They're most likely not setting a specific release date because if it does happen to get delayed again the PS3 users will be in an uproar again and they'll probably burn down the Bethesda headquarters.

What I'm saying is, yes theres no one forcing anyone to buy it. But they'll lose money cause of how this went probably if it gets pushed off too much longer.

And we're already in uproar. It would stop the uproar for a little while. They'd have peace at least until that date hit. And I kind of am sitting here wasting time waiting for it honestly cause I keep coming to this forum for any helpful info on when it'll be out lol.

Shoot I just left an MMO for keeping me in the dark and then doing things in an odd order that pissed me off.

[Jessica Raven]

Something along the lines of "rest assured we WILL be releasing the DAWNGUARD DLC. Your patronage is important to us, and we will not delay its release, any longer than proves necessary. That would erase the doubts and angst of many of the PS3 faithful.

Is that so much to ask?

[^~LIL B0NE5~^]

Dawnguard wont be coming out on the PS3 too many bugs for the PS3 to handle

[trisha punch]

Dawnguard wont be coming out on the PS3 too many bugs for the PS3 to handle

again...comments like that should be followed by a link. We seriously dont want any Trolls or War starters in here. Thanks for understanding. Buh-Bye now!

[Laura Ellaby]

Skyrim is just too easy to beat. It is too easy to become a level 100 stealth, then 100 enchant, then do what ever you like. It just seems to me they didn't put as nearly as much thought into the game itself, such as hitting level 100 in skills in literally an hr to two hrs of game play. In oblivion each time you were leveling you had to actually think about what 10 skills to level to get your max 5 attributes in what you needed. This game completely [censored] the attributes and skills up. Makes me sad they went for a more fallout approach. Any way back on topic.

Any ways, I wouldn't worry about Dawn Guard. If anything the unprofessional manner in which they handled the release of a sub par dlc should make people mad enough not to waste a cent on it when it comes out. Shivering Isles was a DLC, Dawn Guard is just an add on. They are trying to save PC/PS3 users money by letting them find out how bad the "DLC" is. Trust me just do some research into the content and see what I mean. It's just not that great of a DLC. M$ bethesda can svck a 8==D, I won't be wasting another penny after what they did to the series. D3=Skyrim. Just major disapointment after all the hype died.

[Charlotte X]

Dawngaurd isn't coming to the PS3 becasue.......we lack bacon. (( I swear to talos somebody takes that seriously.....))

[meg knight]

Well im back from suspension. Got suspended for telling you guys what I think of all you who are........ummm.... ahhhh....nevermind.

Anyway, I see nothings changed. Still the same......uhhh....yeah..... You guys are funny. lol

I for one am happy with the new patch and still cant wait for Dawnguard!!

[Chloe Botham]

I'm curious why is Bethesda caring about the performance of there games now? they didn't care at all about fallout 3 the Pitt was so bad they had to take it off PSN, mothership zeta had an opening cinematic freeze that made the dlc unplayable, skyrim had horrible lag and freezes, and now they care about us? the dlc is probably the last thing Bethesda is going to make for ps3 so why do they care now? that's what confuses me the most

No idea but no crashes since 1.7 hit.


Only issue is my nightingale hood wouldnt go back to normal colors. But loaded an older file.

[Laura Hicks]

About 5min ago my excitement for this DLC dropped significantly for some reason.

One of those "I don't need it realization sensations". I always knew I didn't need it, but I really really wanted it. But now it's like eh, the equivalent of buying myself a little snack at the store, grabbing a candy bar cause I'm a little hungry but don't want food.

My hype just randomly went down a lot. I do hope they can get us some info about its release soon because of this thread dies out before the announcement then they know that they lost money. My thoughts are only gonna be about this DLC for a little while longer after that I guess my emotions just kind of gave up on it lol.

The example from the restaurant wasn't perfect, but it wasn't as flawed as you think. I as a PS3 user expected my DLC, which I am standing here with $20 bucks waiting to throw on the table. I expected it in a certain window or timeframe, which was after the 30 day window. When that didn't happen. A company should come forward and announce what their plans are immediately. They didn't. In fact they came forward and said... we have no plans.

That my friend is why I feel that I deserve a discount. I deserve a discount because Bethesda told me that they had something for me. They led me to beleive that I could buy it on July 26th. They waited until July 28th to tell me that they actually don't have a timeframe in mind for when they are bringing the product to my system. 2 days of confusion and feeling ignored just to hear that I was being ignored?

Then, almost a week later on August 2nd, PC gets the DLC without any warning, almost as if it was like... well we have had this done for a while now, may as well just give it to em.

Then we get that joy of a message that says that they can't actually program well for the PS3 so it is taking them a bit more time to get it out to us.

Their statement on the 3rd is what condemns them. They are admitting that if not for their incompetence when it comes to coding for the PS3, then it would be out already. BOOM! Anytime, ANY business in america can't get a product to a customer because of their own mistake, the customer, I feel, is entitled to some sort of discount or benefit for having to wait due to the companies error.

Although not exactly like the restaurant situation, it is actually closer to that than you think.

Beth told me they were making something for me, then revealed that they didn't really know when they'd have it ready, then gave it to someone else...and at the same time told me that they are having trouble making it. That means I deserve some kind of concession.

Tell me my logic is flawed. Cause it isn't. If Beth wants to save face with PS3 owners they are going to have to do SOMETHING... cause they have lost a ton of respect with me, and I know I'm not alone.

This is not how you do business. This is not how you treat your fanbase.

[asako]

Bethesda did not say you could buy it on the 26th in any way shape or form, and at no time did they even MENTION a release schedule for PS3. That is your error for thinking they did.

[Janine Rose]

Agreed. I would like to refer back to a comment I made a week or so ago: Media sources online made speculations about the release date and therefore folks simply assumed it would be available for them on July 26th. I certainly was hopeful but also didn't expect it. I understand the whole point of not wanting to wait. However, it seems foolish to demand something on discount, or free, when nothing was said about the actual release date. We know it is in the works and coming.

[jasminε]

I am also assuming that much like the suprise release for PC, PS3 users will get it the same way. This could range from anytime...like...this...second!

OR it could take a while longer. Either way it's just a waiting game that some folks are frothing at the mouth about.

[Laura Mclean]

Exactly,and most of all no one can force you to buy the dlc,you have the freedom of choice,so no discount its due - don't forget that we're talkin' of an entertainment product here after all

However,i think that a lot of ps3 users could only appreciate if bethesda in the future would make "something special" even for them

No one forces you to go to their restaurant and eat there, but when they are late bringing it they give it to you for free. It is about caring for the customer. I realize no one from Bethesda said it would be on July 26th, but what am I supposed to think when they say Xbox has a 30 day exclusivity? Doesn't that make you think, oh ok well July 26th or a couple days after will be when I get it?

It isn't about the product at all. It is about the PR and customer relations. Bethesda has handled this side of everything very poorly, and I think that gives me the right to ask for some kind of concession.
