Should Bethesda deny us future support and decide we are not worthy of getting any DLC, there is no doubt in my mind the storm of absolute rage, hatred and chaos that is to follow will permanently cripple the company's already severely damaged image, destroy any hope of restoring their PS3 fanbase or acquiring anymore cash from us. If that happens, I will laugh so very hard, I may have been denied Dawnguard and other DLC...but at least I got to see Bethesda's fall from grace.

[Reven Lord]

Couldn't Bethesda have a beta for DG like they had with the 360. That way people could see how well it actually works and what portion of people are having major issues. Obviously this won't resolve all the issues but would give some insight on how well DG works on the PS3. Personally, I don't have many bugs or lag problems on the PS3 (at least not as much as before) and I would want to know how worse my game would get with DG added into the equation.

The beta for 360 was just something to grab some hype. Not much changed between the beta and the full version I hear.

And they're not gonna care if we find it acceptable because someone else won't find it acceptable and everyone will be complaining etc

[Jessica Raven]

Still no dlc....wow. I have never had to wait this long for dlc with any other game company except this one.. They should at least let us know if we should expect this in the new year. It does seem like 2013 release is very likely in my opinion. I predict Obama is elected president before we get any dlc. Deadazz....

[Christina Trayler]

wow.....i havent been on this forums since the game was released and it had all of it's problems and now that i am back i find out........it still has all of those problems. Im going to go on a small rant so lend me your eyes if you will for a few moments of your time if you choose to read. You know theres a time when companies tell us to bite our lip and wait a while, however i think you ps3 gamers including me have waited long enough. Does skyrim have issues yes is it playable meh up to you to decide however i have never seen a company treat its fanbase with such disrespect before ever. My boss hates my guts,why? because i won't kiss his ass like everyone else but you know what i get more respect out of him than i do a company i give my money to to create good products. You gamers have been treated like trash its right infront of your eyes yet we are still hear, our words mean nothing to them you know why because they already got our money from us. They released a BROKEN product, yes the same product that they never showed gameplay to and the same product reviewers had to go out and buy because Ba-durr-da wouldnt send them a broken game. And the icing on the cake what did pete hines tweet a customer about the dlc for ps3 "we will release it when it's good and ready, we are not going to rob you of your money". Well you know what putting skyrim on the ps3 with the issues it had and still has is robbing us of our money. I can excuse fall out 3 for being broken but the minute they saw the complications with developing on the ps3 they should have directly went to sony, ya they go now but hey the ball game is already over they have your money what do they care right. Im not trying to change the world or the gaming industry im trying to bring attention to the very issue that baffles us all. Vote with your WALLET, if you dont like or support a product do not buy it especially when you know a company like ba-durr-da is gonig to treat you like. As much as i hate gamestop/eb games for their used games policy i hate bathesda even more for what they have done to you people. If you must buy another bathesda game buy it used, why? Because none of your money goes to the developer for it. And yes some of you right now may not agree with me, or you might say your not buying a bathesda game however if they announce the dlc coming to ps3 im sure some of you will be wetting your skyrim dragon pyjamas. HOWEVER for the few who listen protest and vote with your wallet, remember they treated you like crap, its time we return the favour.

Well based off of what someone else said was a tweet from hines, no DLC should be expected at this point until it is stated otherwise.

If Sony can't even help them fix it, they should have never have released the game to PS3.

Just shows that the two wern't made for each other.

I'll be disappointed if there isn't an update this week with Hearthfire's exclusive expiring on Thursday.

Personally, I don't have many bugs or lag problems on the PS3 (at least not as much as before) and I would want to know how worse my game would get with DG added into the equation.

It would be a waste of time, Beth didn't really make changes from the 360 version. The only thing they learned was where additional bugs were.

[Taylrea Teodor]

Everyone needs to be civil about this subject.

this is Right down BS I WILL GIVE YOU gamesas UNTIL the end of the month IF WE DO NOT HAVE DAWNGUARD AND HEARTFIRE I WILL BE RETURNING MY COPY OF SKYRIM,OBLIVION,FALLOUT 3 AND NEW VAGA and WILL NOT BE SPENED ANYMORE OF MY [censored] MONEY ON YOUR GAMES

Civil huh? I feel sorry for you PS3 users out there. I can't imagine the frustration that your having right now not knowing. Hopefully this will all be cleared up shortly though and in a beneficial outcome for you. I have a feeling they will announce something soon.

They mean civility between forumites. Bethesda has been treating PS3 users like crap for a loooooonng time. That's a perfectly acceptable opinion to have about Bethesda at this point in time.

Oddly enough, at first people from other consoles were very very annoyed at the PS3 community. There were some supporters but alot who were frustrated.

But it seems that as months have gone by, those frustrated have left and rather those more sympathetic have slowly been popping their heads in.

The PS3 people were upset at the very beginning because, they knew this would happen, it's happened time and again to them, and their copy wasn't good quality. They knew where things were going already, I know I sure did.

I expected nowhere less than 6 months honestly if it was ever released.

I've personally been here from the start, started on PS3 transferred to PC.


Honestly, dawnguard isn't all that special. You get your new items sure, but the "20 hours" of gameplay, add in the travel time they force in where between every mission you have to walk from the east side of the map ALL the way to the west side of the map, and even if you can find a way to fast travel everything is still a good distance apart or on mountains. You don't just do it once, it happens over and over again for time sinks to boost the game play to 20 hours lol.

And my copy on PC had quite a few bugs.

Essentially, dawnguard is simply more of what you already have, with an extra story that seemed to have been written up pretty quick, but was still better than skyrims MQ story. Although as others have said, it doesn't necessarily take much to do better than the MQ story.
The story has plotholes and things that just don't make sense.

But again, it's more of what you already have. There aren't really any new features added besides a few spells you may never touch and the vampire lord form which gets old fast for some people and the werewolf perks.

More of what you already have, also meaning more bugs. My PC version I could work around with console commands when I ran into bugs although I guess part of my 20 hours of gameplay was looking up console commands since I had never used them, and figuring out how they work like how to skip around broken quests.

Even people on 360 run into points where they can no longer progress.

Really what I'm saying is, after all these months, it really isn't worth the frustration unless you are really a die hard elder scrolls fanatic who wants to collect every thing elder scrolls related. Or a die hard vampire fanatic.

Personally I wanted it real bad cause I like vampires. But the form was inconvenient as I couldn't fit through doors and stuff so I didn't go into the VL form often at all. As another person had said in their review, you find yourself not going into the VL form because you want to, but simply to increase the perk trees.

[^_^]

I had already completed everything I wanted to do in Skyrim around the time Dawnguard was announced. From that time, until Bethesda announced their incompetence with the PS3, was spent preparing my multiple characters for Dawnguard. My Bosmer werewolf ranger is ready to join Dawnguard. My Altmer mage is ready to join the Vampires. *removed*

Now there's nothing left for me to do. My copy of Skyrim is gathering dust. I expected the full experience when I purchased Skyrim. We were promised a better game, and we ended up getting a port inferior in almost every way. I had to deal with game-breaking bugs from day one. All the "content" they patched in is utterly useless. Kill cams that activate when you miss your target, and mounted combat that freezes my game shouldn't be considered DLC. Yet Pete Hines and Bethesda seem to think so.

I would not have purchased Skyrim if I had known that this would be the outcome, and Bethesda will NEVER offer even a partial refund.

The kill cam thing with missing, that is quite annoying...

I just stand there and get hit for a good 20-30 seconds...

I sold my skyrim copy yesterday. No dishonored for me byebye beth!

[Kirsty Wood]

This has gotten ridiculous. It's been over a month since the last official update, and it appears as though no progress has been made. If Bethesda was truly sorry about the condition of the PS3 version, we would have Dawnguard right now and would have Hearthfire in the coming weeks.

[Juanita Hernandez]

This is so sad. *facepalm*

[Rich O'Brien]

This is so sad. *facepalm*

Meowth, that's right.

[sally coker]

Pete just tweeted "you should not expect DLC for PS3 until we announce a change in status."

With a change in status meaning almost anything, the optimistic user would read "Until we notify that progress has been made and we post a projected timeline for release"
Now the more realistic, whip shy, cynical user hardened by past experience would read "Until we announce we are ceasing support for PS3 to save you further speculation"

You might here Pete or Todd apologize, but don't accept it.

Bethesda is just stringing us along until a majority of us forget about Dawnguard. Then Bethesda will cancel it because of "a lack of interest from the customers."

Line 1 - Will never happen, that would require admittance of guilt regarding several lies and half truths that have been quoted as fact since before release, oh and a backbone.

Line 2 - Quite plausible and pretty much what has happened in the past unfortunately.

We will get nothing apart from a support cessation announcement and some hollow, meaningless apologetic platitudes, maybe not even that with the gaming media watching because IGN et al will be all over an announcement like that in a heartbeat.

[Marcia Renton]

With the small exception of a broken Vampire Cure quest, otherwise yeah 4J Studios did an outstanding job.

That bug was caused by the DLC Shivering Isles that Beth made and ported. 4J didn't port it in.....so 4J made a working game and Beth boke it by adding a bad coded DLC to a workable game.

If they follow their usual MO they will release a new Fallout game and just seem to "forget" Skyrim exists. If one looks at the Fallout: New Vegas forums that is what happened there. Gstaff made occasional appearances in that forum with some "new" information until Rage came out. Then, everyone employed by Bethesda just kind of stopped showing up in the FNV forum. Skyrim came out and all previous games were forgotton completely.

Actually, if I remember correctly, Gstaff did come back for one line after a thread got blown up with angry PS3 users wondering if FNV and it's DLC will ever be fixed. He simply told them all the programmers have moved on to other projects, so FNV would be left broken.

I think that is what will happen with Skyrim. They are just biding their time until they can wave their new, flashy game in front of us. The first blog post we see about the new Fallout game will be the last time anyone at Bethesda thinks about or mentions Skyrim. Well, that is until an Ultimate Edition or GOTY edition comes out. Then they will ask for money again, but not provide any support.

What will be really disgusting is if they advertise a PS3 verstion of the Skyrim UE or GOTY. I think their websites might crack under the load of all the hellfire and fury that will be coming their way. Although if one thinks about it, as of right now a PS3 version would be absolutely no different than the normal one.

Which I honestly don't mind, because being a vampire has it's perks in that game and the downsides don't bother me that much. Actually adds challenge to the benefits.

That said though, it still doesn't excuse that they never fixed a game altering bug of that proportion.

I can only imagine the backlash from that, but it will be justified for Bethesda because it gave them more money in their pockets which they don't have to give back.

As I've told everybody else, you can return your BluRay PS3 Disc of Skyrim for $10 and get a PC version returned to you if you go through Bethesda's customer service. Not the best looking solution, but probably the best one (which isn't saying much except that the company does svck at coding for the PS3).

Gee, isn't that nice. They will charge someone $10 to return a defective product, nevermind the fact that the company new about the defects before release yet still chose to move forward, and get a product that works the way it s supposed to.

Wow. Bethesda...real class acts.

[Sam Parker]

I sold my skyrim copy yesterday. No dishonored for me byebye beth!

Sold mine Sunday. I started a thread on the PS3 forum simply to say goodbye and it was locked quickly.

[Jack Bryan]

Well, if they let people post "goodbye" threads the forums would be absolutely clogged with them.

Hmmm, maybe that should tell them something?
