Here is how to get Skyrim to work on PS3, Set your PS3 and copy on Skyrim on the couch then stare them with angry look. Finally give a long detailed lecture how if they don't get along one of them will be moving out and I think we can all agree who will be moving out. This only for a little humor people does not hurt to bring some light to dark problem..

How nice, we haven't had an actual update in over 3 months, Pete Hines has disappeared off of twitter, Gstaff is completely ignoring everything posted on the forums and Bethblog, and the moderators here are completely unsupportive of us. How could this be any worse? There is literally not a living soul in the world who supports us. It's exhausting. Between all of the [censored] that we take from Bethesda on a daily basis and the constant threats from the moderators to delete every thread and post that we put up, we really should start to ask ourselves if this is worth it anymore? I'm tired of yelling at this brick wall. I'm tired of being ignored. I'm tired of having the moderators constantly shove us down and tell us to stop shouting. Hell, this comment will probably be deleted before any of you get a chance to read it. We deserve a response. It's common decency. We are being treated as less than a human being, as someone who doesn't matter and should be ignored. I'm sick of Bethesda. I have never in my entire life felt so betrayed and so belittled as I have over the course of these last few months. I can't wait for all of this [censored] to be over.

I saw your comment Strad 37 so even if they delete it i will always know it was here post 27 will live on with me. Unless they come for me next.

Don't attack the mods dude they're not paid employees, not really even employees.

Imagine being the kid in school who's job is to clean the table, that's all they're doing.

They're told that things have this specific guideline on how it's supposed to be cleaned, and so they follow it.


If you want to be mad at someone don't be mad at the mods for enforcing rules, be mad at the guys who set up the rules, as in Bethesda.

haha, I guess there is at least one then.

The mods have a choice, to care about us or not. Since moderators are setup by administrators, they are in a position to communicate with Bethesda on our behalf. They even have a separate forum in which the administrators and moderators can discuss matters privately. Imagine what kind of statement it would make if the moderators actually chose to support us and push Gstaff to show some common decency and communicate with us? They have chosen not to. It doesn't matter if they are volunteers or not, they still have that choice. I stand by everything I said in my previous post.

The moderators are only deleting posts that violate forum rules, encourage or promote petitions or boycotting. As for threads they are trying to keep things contained to one thread so the matter does not clog up the forum with useless threads on the same subject.

Sigh... still no updates what a bummer lol feeling all nostalgic and wish i still had my old pc and TES 3 ahhh those were the days. So how is everyone i am kinda new but i have been following the drama that is Dawnguard since august seems like its one big trainwreck after another TES 4, FO 3 now Skyrim. Its funny i have come to these forums so much its became a routine for me almost like AA so yeah things ARE BAD Bethesda you need to admit you are addicted to releasing shoddy games to your P3 fanbase leaving em with a broken shell of a game that could of been amazing. Ok i am done i shall return to my adventurers of A$$ kickery in Borderlands 2 peace everyone .

One or more Mod's have posted that they support the PS3 community, they just do not constantly repeat themselves. Their here to moderate the forum not act as the communities sword and shield against Bethesda.

Can we stop talking about the mods and concentrate on the company? The words I picked up on the last page is "common decency". Can anyone truly say that this company has acted with common decency to us as human beings, not as gamers or customers but on a human level. To post a trailer for the next DLC for the XBOX yet at the same time still keep us in the dark over what is going on with regards to DG I personally think is nothing short of shocking behaviour.

Is there noone within Beth who is willing to stand up and tell it as it is whether its good/bad news or even the case there is no news at all?

That is not a question you won't the answer too, cause the answer is just as ugly as the question itself. Humans are guilty of the very behavior's which we complain about being problems.

I agree with your statement Azrim but the mods also need to understand that TES is a Very popular game. That people are passionate about it and when people are passionate about something they inevitably allow there feelings to get the better of them and sometimes say things out of anger. Lets face it we have all been screwed by Bethesda and this is the only source of communication that most people know of so all that anger ends up being vented here in these forums. All in all i think a better system of communication with Bethesda is needed for our sake and the Mods whom im sure would like to pull there hair out and slap some of us Hopefully i am not included in that category lol.

Could this be a case of intransigence on Sony's part? The DLC were released on 360 and PC with bugs, so why not the PS3?

Do you recall what happened on christmas release involving "lets release it even tho it has bugs for ps3?" people where acting like it was the rapture, so better safe than sorry.

With all these DLCs being launched so fast, its hard to imagine that a huge team is working to fix our game.... If they just stopped the new content talking and concentrate in talking and working with the mess they made with vanilla skyrim i would believe that they really cared about their ps3 costumers.

They dont even talk about it anymore.

I think you have the absolute wrong idea when it comes to how mods, on any messageboard, really functions. And trust me, taking nothing away from how the mods are doing here atm, there are boards i am a member on that make all of Bethesda's combined look like an idyllic pasture filled with happy little bunny ppl.


Oh i know how it can be at a company that decides to go full-on 'person of ill repute'. There are always at least one or two hold-outs for integrity and common sense, but they are either shouted down outright and ignored, coerced into joining the group, or let go. I'm no saint or anything special, but i've been in all three at some point in my professional life and i can't recall any one time when a company started down Bethesda's current path and good times were the result.

But hey, maybe Bethesda can pull it off....


Nope. If you are Bethesda, right now there is really only one viable exit strategy. You release DG and HF now. Not when they are 'perfect', because the secret is out now-they will never be perfect. No, you release what you have, slap a nice big advisory that it may not play well for everyone. And just take the results. Then when Dec. 4th hits, you use the ambiguity of this trailer and flat-out release Dragonborn to everyone and give everyone the advisory again.

With the advisory, Bethesda would be legally 'safe' and at the same time any possible legal action against them is defused. Now their resulting reputation is a whole other thing....


I wouldn't expect any replies from any Bethesda higher-up for a goodly while. They are hip-deep in a cesspool of their own making and they are, wrongly, using the '5 yr old' method of PR damage control. IE-Sticking their fingers in their ears and humming really loud until the meeney-weeney angry customers go away...

Funny because that's what most of the threads are on these forums and there's consistently multiples of those:

-what's the next DLC?!?
-what should be in the next DLC?!??
-Imperial/Stormcloak Allegiance Interpretations
-I have an idea for DLC!

these same 4 topics are discussed over and over and over and over again and rarely are ever consolidated to one thread, or one series of threads.

Spiritreaver, you are my forum hero.... I feel the same exact way you do.... only i would have been able to articulate your point without at LEAST 20-25 F- You's in a post as long as yours. Lets just hope they take your advice, and just release it... I'd buy a pre-owned version of Skyrim to play all the DLC, buggy or not. Truth is, as it was said a few posts back, i love bthesda games, so i do get passionate when i feel betrayed. However, i would rather be overly passionate, as opposed to just greedy like Bethesda.

Let's get a few things straight about the moderators position on the forums, obviously from your posts you have no idea - what else have you no idea about?


Firstly I am not a PS3 player, I play almost exclusively on pc although I also have a 360. The moderators are not unsympathetic to complaints of the lack of news about the release of DLC for the PS3, we are, however, completely unsympathetic of the way many members choose to state their grievances, basically if it can't be said in a constructive and civil way we will be down on it like a ton of bricks.


So just because you and others feel there is something to say on this you should be allowed to make a topic on whatever little, or big, complaint you have? Doesn't work like that on these forums and applies to every topic made here. Moderators are not constantly "shoving you down" they are maintaining some kind of order here and if that is asking you to keep all the same or similar discussion in one topic then so be it.


Your post is still here isn't it, ill informed as it is.


Oh for goodness sake - over exaggeration much? It's a game!


Moderators are chosen by the existing moderator team, only the final approval is required from admin. You know what we say in our forum how? More wild guesses?

We are members of the forum who were asked and volunteered to help maintain the running of the forums in accordance with the forum rules that have been set down and refined over a long period of time. OK we get free games that are gamesas published and occasional free swag like T-shirts but we are not paid employees and the free stuff in no way makes up for amount of time and sometimes hassle that we have to deal with. We do it because we enjoy it and are happy to give our support here.

We have no more information than other forum members, we may get a few hours notice of any announcements being made so we can "gather our forces"

So now you know, and next time you want to know about the mods and the mod team, send one of us a nice PM as we are only to happy to discuss your questions and dispel any misconceptions you have.

Lets leave this now and you can get back to discussing the subject of the topic.

Ok, Rohough.... As this is clearly a passion (or sorts) for you, to help out a game company (respect, not sarcasm). How can you HONESTLY say "Oh for goodness sake - over exaggeration much? It's a game!", I mean, that is SUCH an [censored] statement..... Why doesn't Bethesada just make a god damned statement? IT'S JUST A GAME! These are NOT games, these are hobbies, escapes. These are things that i have poured COUNTLESS man hours into, things that i spent MONEY on...... These are NOT games.

I'll tell you what, all you "regulars" stop posting in this thread, let it drop down two or three pages and then when someone posts a new topic about it then we will leave it - if it is brought back up then we may consolidate the threads or close one in favor of the other.

There is nothing new about topics being repeated, if you look back in some of the forums there are many examples of the same thing, however, major topics such as this one, such as the TESVI topic, the Metal thread in CD, the MLP thread in CD, etc. are all kept in one.


I was answering that members specific statement about "never having felt so betrayed and belittled in his whole life".

You can all hate me I don't care, but the mods here have my full support

I was an S-mod on a large gaming community myself (using the same forum software too) until ill health meant I could no longer dedicate the time needed and I had to resign my position - I know from experience that trying to keep all the posts within the rules, keeping repeat threads to a minimum by combining, consolidating and deleting threads and still trying to do it without upsetting too many potentially angry people is like trying to herd feral cats

At best it's a thankless task

They have started deleting posts on the blog, with good reason as they are mostly profanity and console flaming, and it's still at almost 400 posts most of which are angry PS3 fans. Still, silence. Gstaff hasn't answered anything new. Twitter feeds have gone dark except for Elder Scrolls Online garbage, and the PR machine has stopped. For Bethesda, this is bad. Just when the blogs on the internet were starting to cool down a bit, they are fired up anew with the further lack of DLC, a vanilla game that is still broken, and now the deafening silence from Bethesda regarding all of the issues on the PS3 console. All because of a release date for one console after the trailer for Dragonborn. I'm starting to wonder if Bethesda thinks about the consequences of their actions before they do something. They released Skyrim completely broken just to make a "cool date." They tried to keep the issues with the PS3 version quiet before release by "forgetting" to send review sites copies along with the PC and 360 version, and until recently they thought the "we're working on it" line would keep us quiet and behaved for months on end.

I wondered before how they would dig themselves out of this hole, now I'm wondering if they even can no matter what they do. I have never seen a company take such a PR beating, and not respond. Perhaps I don't remember because those companies no longer exist.

Edited due to a thought:

Maybe this is the beginning of the backlash. It could be possible that Bethesda is doing a "rage quit" on the PS3 console. We have been slagging them pretty hard lately, yes they do deserve it, but when one looks out their door and they see nothing but an angry crowd yelling at them, that grows exponentially every day, at some point one just yells "FU!" and slams the door. Maybe what we are experiencing is the silence after the door slam. Poor PR for a company that generally ends that company, but I don't think they know what else to do. All I know is I would hate to work for that company in any capacity right now. Depending on whom I speak with, I might not even tell them I work there.

I Agree i mean at the end of the day, attacking the mods does nothing, they are neither employed or paid by Bethesda. I mean to blame the Mods calling them harsh, all they are doing is following the rules in place like we all do (or most of the time anyway).

And thank god they shut down multiple threads of the same questions because this way we are in one place and consolidated which in my opinion is a good thing

Wrong. If it were something happening in the game and not affecting anything in real life, then you would be correct. However, we're talking about the PRODUCT paid for by consumers on the basis on the hype and promises that for all practical purposes were lies, made by a company that convinced people that they were truly getting the same product for the same price as everybody else. That is clearly not what has happened here, and the complete lack of communication is downright insulting.

He might have been overexaggerating, but you're doing something just as, if not more so, incredibly ridiculous by downplaying it as well and disregarding someone's feelings.






So with that said, anyone taking bets on when we actually get an update on anything for PS3? It's been 3 months and almost a week since their last one.
