Why is there never an "I don't care" button?

ummm the "I dont care" option is to click anything that takes you out of this thread

You may want to check your information sources before announcing incorrect information. You do not need to pay $60 a year to get access to the dlc for the 360. I would also like to know where you saw that it was exclusive for ever and eternity to the 360. Everything I've seen has said exclusive without specifying. A different company, a different game was announced to be 360 exclusive. The devs said "We have no plans at the present to bring the game out on pc." I read that, put it together with an earlier game they made that was exclusive to the xbox, and decided to check back once in a while to see if it was coming out for pc yet. It took two years to get the earlier game released on pc. I figured it would be a matter of time and they would release the current 360 exclusive on pc. Less than 6 months after EA bought Bioware, they announced Mass Effect was being released on pc. [their forums had a lot of people pissed off to the nth degree because they went out and bought a 360 just for the one game. Some of them seemed to take it as a personal insult when it was pointed out that it took longer for Jade Empire to come to pc, but quite a few people realized that, eventually, ME would also. I think EA rushed it; judging by the bugs and glitches the pc version had, they should have taken a lot longer, imo.]

Have you considered that Sony is releasing their dlc for free *at this time* to try to get people to buy their consoles? I have no idea what the ownership figures are. It would be great for the ps3 players if it continues.

I have no problem with another platform getting dlc before I do; I play on pc. Any major glitches or problems will be found before I get it, and real reviews instead of previews will be out so I know whether its worth getting at all. I also have no problem with a platform that I don't choose to play getting something that I don't. If I really couldn't possibly live without a certain exclusive game, I would consider getting a console. Nothing has captured my attention to that level, and I don't like to play games on consoles.

I didn't mean to imply that $60/year XBL fee was needed for the DLC, I was referring to the fact that people who pay for it are essentially funding Microsoft's buying up of DLC. And its annoying that people support that business model.

It doesn't matter how you feel about DLC being released late, you're only one person who feels that way. Yes, many others may not care but there are also millions of people who are die hard Fallout fans who bought the game for PS3 but have to wait 9 months before the first DLC gets released while the 360 is on the last. Between that time those PS3/PC players who weren't able to play the game probably encountered spoilers galore.

A large publisher/developer such as Bethesda shouldn't have to resort to taking bribes from Microsoft so they can pad their paychecks. Rockstar tried this and not only were they met with backlash but their sales numbers were far below expectations. Borderlands released story based DLC at the same time for the 360, PS3, and PC. Red Dead Redemption released story based DLC at the same time for the 360, PS3, and PC. If Borderlands can get by without a cash grab why can't Bethesda, they're greedy and I won't be buying any of their products unless they're used.

Not true.

WHEN DO WE WANT A DLC FOR PC AND PS3? NOW!!! WHEN DO WE WANT IT? NOW!!! WILL WE GET IT?








no...

Using exceedingly large fonts in all caps ain't gonna get us the DLC any sooner ya know.

At this point I'm not even sure that i care about it anymore. When/if it ever comes out on the other two platforms I may not even buy it.

Not necessarily. That fee for the gold membership could be going to support the online play features that you get access to with the gold membership. If you have a source for the information that Microsoft uses that money to buy timed exclusives, please link it.

I wouldn't know about the delay. Even though I play on pc, I waited until the discs were released with the dlc. It was far too much of a hassle to deal with games for windows live. Iirc they didn't come out with the first two until May 2009. The other dlcs were released in turn, except for Mothership Zeta. That one I had to wait for until the goty version that included all the dlc was available. My personal choice to do so, of course.

Personal opinion, but spoilers don't bother me that much. Considering I was doing moderator stuff on the forums when both the 360 players and the pc players who used gfwl got their dlc. There are always people who intentionally spoil things for others. Anyone who was around for the one Harry Potter book would remember the trolls who decided to have fun then.

Do you have a source that Microsoft bribed Bethesda? As opposed to a regular business deal where everyone had the opportunity to bid/buy an exclusive for their company and some companies declined the opportunity or refused to pay the price asked? If a company offers to pay for an exclusive, and other companies won't, why is it a "bribe"? Was Sony locked out of the deal due to underhanded business practices, or does Sony just not pay for exclusives?

Hopefully you won't have to wait too long to find what you want, at a price you're willing to pay.

The 6 people who voted no on the thread are obviously xbots

You're asking me do I have any proof on the matter? You would have to be a non-gamer to not know that Microsoft has been buying exclusive DLC for years.
The only proof I need is this:
http://playstationlifestyle.net/2009/05/14/microsoft-says-no-gta-dlc-for-ps3-take-2-stays-silent/

Its well known that Microsoft paid $50 million for the GTA IV DLC. They did it again with Fallout New Vegas. Why else would they not put Dead Money on the PC as well? When the game's source code for the 360 is virtually identical to the PC's?

And I just bet that if you were a game company and Microsoft came to you and said: "here's 50 million for letting us get exclusive DLC" then you would just walk away. Yeah, you'd turn down that 50 million flat.

Hell yeah I do, the gameplay looks great, the story and tie-ins to characters from the base game are great, and the hints at an overarching plotline have me very interested.

Get this to PC asap, Bethesdian!

LOL, i love how your "proof" is just propaganda from a playstation website.

Yes, anyone who says no is the worst kind of really devoted fan and generally a terrible person.
Everyone who bought this game and supported the developers should have access to any additional content that is released.

And from a profit standpoint, why limit your market with exclusivity, especially when the game proper is not an exclusive?
I understand that they have some deal with microsoft over this, but nevertheless I think it's just plain wrong.

i didnt say that in the post any where, i randomly posted an idea that came up into my mind.

I would just like the chance to play the additional content. I have paid plenty to Microsoft for Windows 7 Professional, so I am a Microsoft customer, and their locking out the PC doesn't make any sense to me.

Only a small percentage of the customer base even knows about the exclusivity of the DLC, anyway, and it must only be a cumulative thing in terms of getting X360 customers, coz I doubt anyone goes.. ooh, a new level for Fallout 3.2, lemme pay up for the Microsoft® Xbox 360® Gaming Console System!

I'm sure it will eventually come out for the PC, I'd just like to know when since that the Christmas season is over.

Again, don't be mad that Microsoft payed extra for the content, be mad that Sony didn't. Microsoft charges us, but we get exclusive content. Either stop getting angry about the exclusive content, or buy the console that gets the exclusive content and pay for it. If they didn't port it to PC, they must have had a reason. I'm not going to pretend to know more about PC 360 relations then I do. And really, you're going to quote a rival company trying to get proof of something? You really don't know much about business do you?

I'll pretend then: Microsoft has an ongoing vendetta against the PC. It seemed to have reached its climix with the release of Vista, but now with this Xbox episode, what more proof is needed.

PROGRAMMERS: Now is the time to step up and fill in the gap with new map editions. Feel free to go Cube Experimental on us.

Bethesda please give us ps3 gamers the dlc i love fallout 3 and new vegas i played them till i got 100% of everything done and found in both games and its pretty gay when im a much bigger fallout fan then my friends and much better than them but they get to rub it in my face cus the have 360 and get it first

I voted no. I'm tired of you kids crying on these forums everyday about it. Get over it, it's coming to you eventually. I say you guys don't deserve it from how much you've been [censored]in' and insulting Bethesda. :tops:

It'll come to us eventually stop whining about timed exclusives, if they weren't inevitably coming our way I'd be inclined to agree with you.

Although perhaps Obsidian should focus a little less on making money and a little more on fixing the many existing problems with New Vegas instead before cracking out another broken DLC pack.

I understand the Bethesda wants money and they partnered up with Microsoft just like Activision did with Call of Duty i just hope they are timed like MW2 and Black Ops which i have no problem waiting an extra month for but if its how ever many months like it was for fallout 3 i jsut got tired of the game and never went back to get the dlc

Have those poor PC and PS3 foks got the DLC yet? just curious

I'd like the DLC only for the BAR rifle. More so for my NCR soldier playthrough, haha.

No. I don't want it now. Like a stubborn ungrateful child that's been ignored whilst a sibling is given a gift, I refuse to accept your DLC and will not buy it once (if ever) released for my platform. Now the others, I'll probably buy them. Unless you do the same thing. But I mean honestly, if you're going to squeeze the money out of my pockets after I buy your [censored] game, do it to everyone at the same time.
