Hey PC/PS3 gamers, were you expecting Skyrim DLC today? LOL NOPE.

[QUOTE="ShadowMoses900"]

It sucks, especially though the way Bethesda treats us PS3 gamers. It's like they hate us sometimes, they should treat their consumers better. Sucks for PC gamers too, but at least they got mods so they are getting different experiences, the PS3 version is exactly the same as the 360 version just without the DLC.

But whatever I'm still having fun with the game. Still have plenty to do.

Thats what MS does since they don't have any exclusives of their own. They pad the pockets of other devs to give timed exclusivity on multiplats just to distract lems from the barren wasteland that is the 360's exclusive line up.

Well I do think the 360 has good games, I agree it's exlusive line up is weak, but just because you and I might not be the biggest Halo and Gears fans doesn't mean others will agree. For some people they might really like those games.

But I get the feeling that a lot of the lems on here arn't really excited about them, they just kinda "have" to be because it's all they have coming up as far as 1st party goes. I think instead of timed DLC they should offer more, who cares about 30 day DLC map packs? Woohoo... :roll:

Why not give the Gold members something of real value, like discounted DLC or something. Why not make it more like PS Plus and give out "free" games every month? It makes a lot more sense than timed DLC, it is definately a better value than that.

For those who claim Bethesda never said it would be exclusive for 30 days:

Enjoy the evidence :3.

MS has market analysts.And from a market analyst's standpoint,providing timed DLC can influence many people to buy multiplats on Xbox360,and can also influece people to go out and buy more 360's in general..

How succesful is that strategy we cannot know,since there aren't any numbers in place,but since MS hasn't dropped it,that indicates it brings them some success.

If it wasn't at least somewhat succesful,they'd dropped it,since after all,they have to pay these developers for timed exclusivity agreements.Guess people find some value in timed exclusivity after all...

Maybe they're trying to make it less of a trainwreck than 360 edition was.

Why would someone go out and buy a $300 system just to get over priced map packs 30 days early? That makes no logical sense. How impatient can someone be? "Oh no wating 30 days is so long, what will I do?" It's not that big of a deal to me, as long as I get it.

What makes me frustrated is Bethesda said it would come out today for PS3 and PC users, but then they hanged their mind. Well thanks for getting me excited over nothing eh?

Good lord, people expecting and wanting DLC. What has gaming come to...

like every beth games

it average at best when unmodded.

Aww....

Oh well.

Oh well,Skyrim. Got better games to play on PC.MonsieurX

Good, they're meant to be read that way.

So it's supposed to be gutteral and incomprehensible? ;) :P

There is nothing wrong with DLC as long as it isn't locked content on the disc or day 1 release.

It only expands/enhances the game and is completley optional

People still play Skyrim? LOL

I already platinumed it and sold it months ago.

Poor Lems, they have fallen so far that they have to brag about getting DLC earlier. Well since you have nothing else to brag about i'll let you at it.

Paying for Online just so you can have something, not early, but before others. Makes no sense unless you want the other consoles to fail...and if you do then I suggest not taking console gaming so personal

Dawnguard ended up not being a must have expansion anyways. I can wait a little longer, not a problem.Stevo_the_gamer

Pretty much so. I'm still playing modded Fallout:NV and that DLC anyway. So, whatev's. I'm not ready to get back into Skyrim just yet.

[QUOTE="MBirdy88"][QUOTE="mems_1224"] eh, idk about that. dawnguard offers alot. there are only a few things in the steam workshop that are actually cool.mems_1224

There are dozens (hundreds?) of good mods that add new factions, races, creatures, locations, buildings etc. And please, don't even mention weapons and armor.

Seriously, if you take 15 minutes to skim through the highest rated mods on Skyrim Nexus or Steam Workshop, you'll gather 10 times the amount of "DLC" than you can get in Dawnguard. AND it's free.

[QUOTE="Stevo_the_gamer"][QUOTE="XVision84"]

Even if you guys don't care for Skyrim, what they're doing here is still really low even by Bethesda's standards. At least when Activision promises 1 month exclusivity for CoD, they deliver the DLC when the time comes. Bethesda has sunk even lower than Activision.

XVision84

Well yeah, it was a 30 day exclusivity deal. 1 month. It's been 1 month and no news yet, this means we'll have to wait at least 1 week to get the DLC. I'm not too fond of the DLC myself, but this is just sad. They shaft PS3/PC owners with this 1 month exclusivity deal, and now they can't live up to their customers simple expectations.

A 30 day exclusivity deal, not a "we'll release it on PS3 and PC after the 30 days" deal. Sure it sucks that there's no date announced for the PS3 and PC release but its not as if Bethesda lied or mislead anyone.

[QUOTE="mems_1224"][QUOTE="MBirdy88"] Too each their own I guess. I have over 50 game enhancers active. dawngaurd adds mounted combat, buggy vampires and more werewolves, not overly impressed.milannoir

I just mod my skyrim, even though its so unstable I seem to have a mod limit. Man, skyrim sucked... I got other RPGs to play like freaking kotor, which was, no, IS good.

Given I moved on a while ago... I think I'll do fine.

i'm done with skyrim could care less

There is soo much to choose from it's pretty overwhelming, but goddamn are some of these mods good.

I'm using:

FOMM-fallout Mod Manager

Eve-essential visual enhancements

Nevada Skies- better weather effects

MTUI- redesigned dialog boxes and text

and a bunch of others. It's incredible how much extra life mods breathe into these games and they are really easy to install and remove with the mod manager.
