I don't know I just don't feel like playing another long game and the dragon thing... I just don't know.GonzoGamer said:
About COD, I never bought a map, never if it was for me I would never bought those games, but my brother likes those games and have them on PS3, that gives us more time to play online without beign kicked out.
I know what you mean. I feel the same way about TV shows like that...that go on and on and you can't miss an episode.MAUSZX said:
My wife got me into CoD. There really aren't many decent split screen games like that anymore.
As a PC gamer i'm not pleased with it, but i can understand why they do it. While others ***** and moan over it their console owners get to experience it first and that gives xbox some advantage over other systems. Thats actually quite allright with me since i have a ton of unfinished games and i still haven't even beaten Skyrim. What pisses me off more is the fact that they don't give a shit about gaming on windows.
We do but not as much; we played games like that to death in the 80s. We need more big budget titles with split screen like CoD & Borderlands...and not just shooters; a co-op Assassins Creed would rock.MAUSZX said:
Sorry to say but White Knight isn't as good as it looks. It gives you a character/avatar, that has no importance to story.Ghostwise said:
On the topic of exclusivity: On games it can be good for sales of consoles, but on dlc which is for games that exist on multiple consoles and PC its just stupid. You're screwing yourself out of money, especially from people who have an issue with getting it after everyone else. Plus PS3 owners deserve SOMETHING after the huge diaster that was our Skyrim. Yeah they fixed it, but it shouldn't have been a problem in the first place.
No,
It's an extra incentive to get an Xbox360, even then, Dawnguard was released with a bit more bugs so the Xbox360 version was a test play for PS3 and PC. (Though I had no problems throughout the DLC at all, it was fun)

I don't claim to know this as fact, but I would deduce that since XBLA players pay for the service that MS does backroom deals with AAA title Producers to make the content exclusive for a bit. Hence why PS3/PC players get shuttled to the backburner. Sorry but money makes the world go round and a few extra dollars or maybe a reduction in fees for patches and the like from XBLA goes a long way in a corporation's mind when making things exclusive.
Paying customers always get a better deal in the end. You may not like it but it is how things work.
EDIT: Also, I may be wrong on that point so take it as you will. With CoD its well known and published that XBLA/MS had a deal with Activision for exclusivity rights so its not a stretch of the imagination to think that Bethesda did the same for Skyrim. PC I'm not sure why its taking so long, but for PS3 users such as myself i'd imagine since there's hardware limitations on the PS3 that made for major bugs (although some were fixed) that porting Dawnguard isn't necessarily an easy thing.
EDIT 2: It also might have to do with the fact that Skyrim sold more on 360 than PC and PS3 combined. And that it still is the #1 console sold overall.

I don't mind exclusive games, its exclusive DLC that bugs me. I bought Tomb Raider: Underworld on Steam recently, and was really sad to find out that the DLC for it is an XBOX exclusive, which is silly. If you have the game on multiple platforms, release the DLC for all platforms as well.
BTW: loving Skyrim on my PC, can't wait for Dawnguard!!

Xbox 360 and PC Gamer here, and there is absolutely NO WAY I would buy Dawn Guard for the Xbox over the PC. I have plenty of FREE MODS to keep me busy on PC Skyrim, and really just don't care. If you have a PC that can run Skyrim normally, but would rather play it on PS3, you're doing it wrong...
In regards to games having exclusive content for console, who cares? Street Fighter x Tekken had 5 extra exclusive characters for the PS3, but it sold substantially less than the 360 version. This was a dumb move on Capcom's end, especially considering the DLC fiasco that came along with it.

Yeah I was pleasantly surprised when I looked on steam this morning so I thought I'd come here to see if what everyone else thought but not many people aware apparently. I actually really want to hear what Bethesda has to say about that releasing that statement if they were going to release it soon.mirage202 said:
