When I was a kid I bought Airwolf for NES with my birthday money. That was a bad game and I cried real tears; Skyrim is not a bad game. I've probably got 500 hours in Skyrim and played 250 hours of Oblivion with similar numbers in Fallout 3. The reason people get so pissed (besides console pride) is that Bethesda's games are AWESOME and when they fail to make you feel happy and work the way YOU think they should you want to get all butt hurt and post complaints! I hated that lag issue but they fixed it! I hate the long load times on Ps3 but that doesn't stop me from playing for eight hours on my day off! I'll never buy an Xbox because I like Sony's O.S. and I'm willing to deal with whatever. Video games are supposed to be fun. Remember trying to play Super Mario Three but your Nintendo would keep flashing different colors so you had to take it out and blow into the cartridge or wipe it with an alcohol soaked q-tip? I bet you angry ones felt every bit as angry back then only there was no blog to post it in. It's all good! Skyrim is a great game and I'm far from finished with it DLC or not. Let's keep the expectations realistic for now. What you need to do is buy a pc with an i7 and mod your asses off to your hearts content. (wishing I could afford a pc with an i7) I love Bethesda; they simply make the best and most entertaining games and I'm really looking forward to buying Dishonored!

Maybe it's time to move on to the dark side: skyrim for 360.

Hopefully I can trade my ps3 copy for a snickers, or maybe even a large bag of chips.

But more on topic, Bethesda said that DG doesn't work only in a few cases, and that it works fine for others. PS3 these games are relying more and more on cached data stored on the HDD. I suspect that on the cases where it doesn't work that the console has little or no hard drive space left. In my opinion Beth should just release the DLC, and if it doesn't work then the user can clean their HDD or replace it with a SSD.

Then again this is all theoretical, based on the information that Beth has given us, which doesn't say much...

Users with problems gathered a lot of data over the course of a few months as things were going wrong with Skyrim on PS3, the amount of HDD space didn't seem to be a factor. When the game first installs it may take a percentage of available free disk space to set the initial cache size but this is probably a dynamic cache. Yes keeping the HDD tidy helps for a time as a database rebuild using the system maintenance menu also gives short term gains but performance always degrades over time due to the nature of the ported data.

SSD users also reported initial gains but again the performance fell off over time with all the usual faults becoming evident, but the SSD is also useful for any game that pushes large data blocks around such as GT5 but as a cure for Skyrim's shortcomings it's a waste of time.

for me the excitement wasnt really their... but if this happens to fallout 4 i will be soooo pissed....

Fallout 4 is still using the Gamebryo engine and we know how well that does on the PS3 so don't hold your breath on it being better.

Fallout 4 will most likely release on the next gen consoles so I/we can only hope that "it is easier" to code the game for PS4! I love TES but Fallout is just purely amazing (basically I prefer Fallout), so if they comit the same mistake with Fallout 4 on the PS4, I'm gonna be so pissed..!

Never had an NES so I can't say. My Sega Master System games were all quality, and had much better RPG's.

Phantasy Star and Govellius just to name a couple. And besides, this is a little different then a simple blow on the cartridge trick. If I could blow on the bd and then in the brd to make the game function well, that would be fine, but it doesn't so your point is invalid.

as do I. man the games and systems from NES to N64 had the best games...then they kinda all went downhill.

[Heather Kush]

Pfft chasing bitmaps around a maze on the ZX80 and ZX 81 with a massive 1k RAM was where it started for me at the age of 15.

[Nice one]

I wonder where Bethesda is at in the whole DG situation. Are they making progress? Have they found a solution, and is there a speck of light at the end of the tunnel? Any progress would be nice and hopefully we will see a positive update soon.

According to Gstaff this week no progress has been made.

Wow, that really makes me wonder if we will see any form of dlc on the PS3. But I guess we will have to just wait and see at this point. As the saying goes, If there is a will there is a way.

[Bethany Watkin]

Dawnguard will never be released. Trust me, it won't.

I think you are Todd Howard in disguise... Trying to calm everyone down perhaps.

Sadly there is no will so no way can come of it. (What I mean by will I mean willpower to get up and do it. If no progress has been made from the last time Gstaff said there has been no progress made then they clearly haven't doen anything and are probaly fixing HF for Xbox)

[matt]

What you need to do is buy a pc with an i7 and mod your asses off to your hearts content. (wishing I could afford a pc with an i7)

If you don't mind graphics mods (although it works well enough with the official HD texture pack), you've enough with a cheap $80-100 AMD Phenom II CPU (4 cores) and a GTX 560 Ti or equivalent to run Skyrim at full settings. And it even runs ENB quite decently

Other than that, I agree with the beginning of the line

So I guess there really isn't any hope for dlc then. Their wills softer than a Hershey bar in Dominican heat.

I just found this article about Dawnguard on the PS3. It's about a day old but in it Bethesda has announced that any and all rumors of Dawnguard being canceled on the PS3 are false.

Interesting..

[Jordan Moreno]

dawnguard isnt coming, they know they cant say that because us ps3 users would riot and get pissed. Its quite obvious, and if you honestly think its coming... Well, i feel sorry for you.

[ezra]

This is not a problem we’re positive we can solve...

This seems pretty condemning, but you shouldn't give up hope yet, Playstationers!

I wonder if 'indefinite hold' is more to Hines' liking?

Or to be more specific, 'indefinite hold until we can bundle Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and any other DLC we can come up with in the next few months into a GotY version PS3 players will be forced to buy($60 + tax thank you very much) if they want to experience add-on content.'

Hopefully sony will fix the issues present in dawnguard and the rest of the DLC"s.

If that's Bethesda's plan, I can suggest where they shove the GOTY edition, firstly because I'm never buying a game twice and secondly because I will be playing or have played at least three new games by then.

same here cept i have bought at least 2 games more then once, one was LOZ and megaman legends

[Calum Campbell]

If there was $60 worth of DLC on the GOTY version, heck yeah I would buy it.
