Bethesda: "Will be 30 day timed exclusive". Did they

Post » Tue Jun 12, 2012 7:31 pm

I remember back before the game shipped that bethesda stated that the first two add-ons will be on xbox 30 days before the ps3 and pc get it.

In other words, TIMED EXCLUSIVE.

But now bethesda has stated that the first content packs for the game will be ONLY on xbox.

EDIT: gstaff confirmed in a later post that it is timed, and not only on xbox. I was originally referencing the last paragraph on bethblog where it was stated that the first content drops would be exclusive to xbox.

No. Only the kinect features are X-Box exclusive. The DLC will only be timed exclusive.

They said exclusive, not ONLY on xbox. This could still mean 30 day exclusive.

From the Bethblog:


the first two add-on content drops for Skyrim will be releasing exclusively on Xbox 360 before it’s available anywhere else.

*eShakes on it* This whole thing reminds me of FO3's "XBox exclusivity" thing...

This is starting to infuriate me. I mean, its been six months and dlc hasn't even been announced. At this rate, it may be almost a year before dlc comes out for PC, considering it has to be announced, and then released, and then a 1 month wait. Really?

You pc players should feel lucky, since you have mods and us consolers do not.

Ah, how did I miss that. :blush:

Well don't I feel stupid. Still dissapointed that they took the time to implement useless kinect "features" instead of more bug fixing.

I still think its obnoxious and unnecessary to show favoritism in any way towards Xbox gamers. The fact that the game was designed for your console, ported to PC, sticking us with an entirely crappy, console-gamer's UI wasn't enough? I paid the 60 dollars just like an Xbox gamer. What is the point in even doing this?

So it would be fair if they did a crappy port that was Unfair towards Console users would this be any better?

That's true, but I'll take a high quality dlc over a high quality mod any day (more polish in a dlc, it is also guarenteed to be lore friendly, which is important to me). Also, most mods are crap, only a small percent are worth downloaded.

I guess it would technically be more fair.

The point isn't that I want console gamers to be screwed - I'd rather nobody get screwed. But it svcks that PC gamers have to get double-screwed.

Your not getting double screwed, You guys have better graphics, Mods, And HD texture packs, while we get none of these things.

There is no noticable difference between the hd texture pack and the regular graphics, you have to do a side by side comparison and really examine the two really closley, and even then its sometimes not noticable. Alsp, the HD texture packs are buggy, not worth downloading.

It would be fair if the game was the best it could be on all platforms. Bethesda could have done two different UIs.

So what? Your dinosaur hardware stops us from realizing the full potential of our machinery by holding Skyrim back, but I don't complain about it or call for Bethesda to make TES a PC-only series. You would have better graphics and HD texture packs too if your chosen systems would finally get upgrades after like six years - as is they cannot give you guys those things because they wouldn't run. In fact you're lucky you got Skyrim at all, because it barely works from a hardware standpoint on today's consoles, I am told.

The point is you've done nothing to deserve a special privilege over PC gamers, or PS3 gamers.
