PS3 Release for Dawnguard - Thread #29

Post » Sun Nov 18, 2012 6:02 pm




I agree that they have found loopholes and wormed out of a lawsuit based on the DLC, but I think we could actually bring one to them over how Skyrim was sold and the issues with the base game. I sound like a broken record, but how many of us bought the game based on the words of Pete Hines? How many of us bought the game because we believed Bethesda when they said the PS3 was getting special attention, a new engine, quicker bug fixes, and would be on a level of parity with the other consoles? We found out those words were a blatant lie and that Bethesda knew about the issues with the base game, but released it anyway in a horribly broken state. I think that would be the ammunition we would use in the lawsuit against them.
it was funny because we were going over fraud in my law class and you could probably sue Bethesda for fraud and win lol

This is very interesting, and very much possible. However, if a lawsuit is made (which it will), then disingenuous business will be the most likely culprit (i.e. deliberately selling a broken product)

been playing borderlands and dishonored but came back to see if Dawngaurd was out yet disappointed to see it's not out yet :( and more important that minus a few Gstaff posts (who gave the basic "we workiing on it") no update. whoever Bethesada has working on it must svck really bad :( (although granted i'm not sure if Sony are still helping them or not in which case the porblem Must be petty bad)

Also more importantly imagne how much money this must be costing Bethesada every day it's no released, espically since by Decemeber i doudt many people will still want it having moved onto other games Although i have noticed that Bethesda hasn't moved onto 3rd dlc yet...


edit:

Also i agree with this : http://www.product-reviews.net/2012/10/23/skyrim-dawnguard-ps3-fiasco-about-dlc-communication/ Communication hass been the biggest problem.

communication has been the biggest problem. The main source of information has been from Tweet Hines' personal twitter account and its all "We're working on it"

The last patch added mounted combat which is cool but its not perfect i can kill a few wolves but anyhing else i might as well get off my horse, cause you gotta be a the right angle to hit anything, the patch actually caused glitches and bugs instead of fixing them :(

Mounted combat lags and crashes people's games sometimes, and the kill cams are even a problem for me on PC.

They initiate, and then nothing happens. You stand there, get hit, nothing dies but maybe you, then killcam turns off. No animation or damage to any NPC's, just a random forced 3rd person with a delay between your last attack and your next.

Not sure on how many changes I've done xD

I used in game pics at first, and those changed with my main character usage change. But it wouldn't allow certain photos to upload for some reason so I stopped doing that. I used Pai Mei from kill bill to represent my style of martial arts for a while since my style is the one he created, and I then used a universal picture for facebook, youtube, and this forum which is the wolf avatar we have here. It's a photo grabbed off of google that I slightly edited and mirrored lol.

When hope starts to die the thread goes way down. But when hope pops back up we jump like 2-3 threads a day. Right now it seems in the middle.

you know I realized the main reason Bethesda is able to put out games like this.
there is no direct competition for Bethesda games I mean you want to play a fps but don't like COD play battlefield, want a open world game with a city setting that isn't gta play saints row. want a play a open world rpg in a medieval setting that's not skyrim play uhhhh what is there other than skyrim?

You can play a star wars medieval setting with KOTOR but the gameplay is completely different and medieval is kind of... still advanced xD

There really aren't many open world RPG games where you can make your own character which use magic and swords that I'm aware of.

Not enough open world RPG games in general with similar mechanics as skyrim.


There are open world games, and even though I see skyrim as kind of linear, the other open world games are far more linear because if you don't follow the MQ there isn't all that much else to do.

Well patch 1.8 just got beta tested by the pc gamers so it shouldn't be long until we all get it. & if this patch does add the dlc menu then the dlc's shouldn't be far beyind.

Doesn't really mean anything until Bethesda says themselves that we are getting DLC because in Oblivion's manual it say Downloadable Content yet no one it europe got SI or Kights of the Nine on PSN we all had to get the GOTY to play it.

Was omw out this morning, but thought i'd share this little tidbit. PS3 firmware is getting an update to 4.30 today. Its loading on my system as i type.

Its updating support for the VITA trophy viewing and removing an app most don't use mostly. The interesting bit, imo anyways, is the way trophies in general will be handled. They are no longer under the 'Games' tab, they are being moved to the 'PSN' tab. Probably nothing at all, but the pessimist in me is wondering is this might be a reason for that mysterious line of code data-mined form the 1.08 patch.

Yeah, yeah, i know that line specifically referred to 'PS3 DLC', but i wonder if it might just be a placeholder to keep Skyrim being able to load up after today's update. I mean i remember a ways back when the trophy system got borked and players were locked out of games. With the way Skyrim has always had issues, wondering if the lack of that bit of code would cause more problems for PS3 Skyrim after 1.08 hit by its absence.

So, a bit of future-proofing on Bethesda's part? or me just being WAY overly pessimistic and refusing to believe that DLC is actually on the way?

I don't think the one line of code will keep skyrim playing on the PS3 I installed the update already and played skyrim nothing new. All the PS3 update do it make the option to change the system lanuage to turkish and it changes where the trophies are. Another update that I notice is that PSN Store has change greatly.
