Why are console players getting less than the PC players?

Exactly why I bought it for PC. And why I forked out a considerable amount of money for a new PC beforehand.

The worst part about consoles is that they don't get unofficial patches. So console players will be forever playing a game which has broken aspects, which PC gamers have happily bypassed with console commands. Since Bethesda prolly all play Skyrim on pcs, using a 360 controller, they proabably don't care that many aspects of the game are broken since they can easily level their followers, fix quests etc using console commands.

No, they play it on the test Wii Us Nintendo sent them. :D

I doubt anyone at Bethesda is playing their own games. They must be bored sick of it after working on it for 5 years.

because PC players have no life, are geeks, eat pizza and cheesy wotsits by the truck load and drink galleons of coke/pepsi and have never had a real GF, just a virtual one, who happens to be a man pretending to be a girl......

just joking :)

Or cheat to get trophies/achievements, which is another reason why Sony/Microsoft doesn't like the idea.

My guess its really lack of a keyboard that is the issue here.

Do yourself a favor, switch to PC gaming and never look back.

I paid ~ 80$ for the game for the 360.
We Norwegians don't care, because we can all afford it if we skip our 12$ lunches for a week.

BUT I pay more for the game than most PC-gamers.

Why don't I get more features and support when I pay more for the game?

Paid more for the PC?
Doesn't matter; The developers and publishers don't get a dime from that cash you spent on the PC.

No self respecting PC player would drinnk gallons of coke or pepsi. Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, or http://www.bawls.com/ is what real PC gamers drink.

You pay more (generally speaking, PC/Console are same price here in US) because you have to pay licensing fees to MS/Sony. And you are getting a game entirely designed around the platforms you play on. Beth actually receives more $$ per purchase from the PC sales and spends vastly less time designing anything for PC. If anything PC players should be the ones complaining here.

Wait until holiday of 2014, that's when Microsoft's, Sony's etc.... next gen consoles are coming out.

Not for me im stepping out of the milking machine.On PC you dont have achievements i think thats another reason why console mostly doesnt have console-commands .Achievements did ruin a lot imo

PC gaming came first and set the benchmarks. Bethesda has failed to respect that. However, the PC gets modding and the command line in Skyrim as compensation. A no-brainer really. Console whiners, get used to it.

Anyway, I get the benefit of my PC that I already had because I do AV editing/creation and Photoshop, etc, etc. I don't think the consoles do those jobs very well. PCs do a heck of a lot more than any console for not much more money. So why would anyone waste their money on what's just a dated one trick pony?
