Why Is Dawnguard DLC Coming To 360 First? : V

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 9:33 am

i know that its with all the COD games how dlcs come out a month before the other platforms,but now skyrim dlcs too?Did microsoft buy that too?More people play ps3 and pc combined than 360 alone,i just find it ridiculous that 360 gets even skyrim dlcs first too.

Yup. Microsoft forked over a lot of money to Bethesda and Bethesda took it.

2 platforms combined play more than just one? Are you a Wizard?

It's a 1 month exclusivity deal, it happens on PS3 and PC as well, get over it.

M$ payed for the rights to get the dlc for 30 so don't blame beth or M$ blame sony for not caring enough to make the deal first.

well, theres more players on Ps3 because one can have multiple accounts, because its free. same with PC. but since MC decided "hey bethesda, were going to give you a hefty coin purse if you put all DLC on xbox first."

That's been the case with most Bethesda developed or published games. Microsoft always grabs that exclusivity deal first chance they get.

Look on the bright side though, PC and PS3'ers.

PS3 has HANDS DOWN better exclusives. Not even a contest.

And you bastard PC players get mods.

There's always a silver lining. :dance:

That and its more money for beth to use towards future projects or dlc.

Why would they want to have DLC first? To me the 360 is the guinea pig for the PS3 and PC for DLC. By the time the DLC does get released for them. Some of the bugs might be fixed by then.

How can you have multiple accounts on the PS3? I feel like a complete newbie for asking. My son and I have been sharing a chacter for 2 weeks.

Just go under the users tab and make a new account i believe.Its not very difficult at all.

Its a 30 day wait, its not forever. Geez.

The same reason M$ wanted to get people to buy it for that platform so obviously Sony doesn't really care for TES that much to go for such a deal honestly i can see why as they have alot of good exclusives for there platform that 3rd party games such as skyrim doesn't really matter to them.

I would have taken the $ too if i was bethesda.But,at the same time in a way,it is a bit unfair.It most likely has something to do with live not being free.

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 1:51 pm

as a 360 user it clearly doesnt bother me, even though I wont be playing skyrim again until end of August so it doesnt matter to me either way, but I know like from Oblivion and Fallout 3, sony and bethesda dont get along well either. not sure about PC but still, its only a month.

Isnt just for the first two DLCs aswell?

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 4:14 pm

Does anyone know how to do that huge pixel face palm?? I really need it right now :facepalm:

» Sat Jun 16, 2012 8:43 am

I guess the idea being if someone has no patience, M$ expects them to run out and buy an xbox360 so they can play 30 days earlier?

If it were 60-day exclusive for the full game, maybe that would potentially start to make sense, but surely they dont expect anyone to get an xbox360 for 30 days of DLC? Then again, there is a svcker born everyday.

it will probably be for all skyrim dlcs.

If you've ever been on a Nintendo messageboard, you would think they were, and that Shigeru Miyamoto is Jesus.

I think i remember hearing before release that it's just the first one.

A+B>C? Is that sorcery to you?

It's a 1 month exclusivity deal, it happens on PS3 and PC as well, get over it.

Not on any game that will also be released on Xbox. That's M$'s policy. Either they get early content or simultaneous content. Otherwise they exclude the product from Xbox release.
