Well. Shit. Buying a multiplatform RPG on a console from a company that in the past was known to make their games highly modable was dumb to begin with.
They introduced Dogmeat reincarnation. You are not allowed to touch them.
When I bought it I was crippled with back injury and unable to use a PC. Lying on the floor and playing the PS3 was my only gaming access. 3 months after surgery and I still can't sit at the PC for more than 40 mins at a time. I'm very, very, VERY pissed off about the no-PS3 DLC situation. |

I'm almost equally pissed off about the PC-DLC situation. The first expansion was the last one I bought that way. Games for Windows can fucking die.

Honestly, I didn't have any major issues getting the Pitt through Games for Windows Live. It worked great once I found the files and moved them in to my Data folder like any other mod.

You are not from a non-english country I presume. Games for Windows doesn't let you change the language settings. So I got a German DLC on top of my English Fallout 3.

Bethesda wants you to buy the system of their choice. If it makes you feel better, with Itagaki gone Team Ninja seems to want to switch their focus over to PS3. |

Don't be a retard. Bethesda wants you to buy their games for which ever way gets them the best deal. If Nintendo had ponied up some special deal for Fallout 3 that was large enough it would have been a N64 exclusive if that's what they had wanted. |

Whatever. I'm not saying Bethesda hates the 360. The money influenced 'their choice'. The statement fucking stands. In the end, you want it, they want you to get it on PC or 360. |

You're an idiot. Bethsoft doesn't give a damn what system you buy. Other than the fact they're getting paid under the table. Once again: The statement fucking stands. Whenever you stop being a fucktard and arguing niggling semantics, maybe we can get back to the discussion. |

Yes you can. You replace the German files with the English ones and the game runs in English again. |

So do you charge them a flat fee, or is it one of those "give me gifts and take me on raids" things?

Your discussion begins with the premise that Bethsoft and Microsoft are engaging in stifling competition via what would probably be an illegal agreement to conduct anti-competitive practices and then goes downhill from there. Just walk away son, just walk away. |

My premise is Microsoft paid for exclusive DLC. Nothing more, nothing less. Your point? But I walked away from the discussion since it was derailing the thread. I suggest you do the same. And save the "son" for your progeny, if you have any. |

Look, I don't fucking care who paid who for what and when and why. Really.
What I care about is that I bought a game that was released for multiple platforms and now when they release expansions for it I am excluded from those because of my platform choice. That makes me fucking angry. I will not be alone in that feeling. In the long run that will cost them money. I will not buy the same game again for another platform. I was considering buying Oblivion for the PS3 too (I'm in need of something to play at the moment) but fuck them, I'll buy something else because of this. That may not be logical and Bethesda/Microsoft/whoever may not give a shit but that's the result.
I'm the kind of person who bears a grudge. I will never buy another Mythic game or a game run by GOA because of the shit they pulled in DaoC. I will never buy another game that Raph Koster has had anything to do with because of youknowwhat and now I'll probably find my hackles rising involuntarily whenever Bethesda make another game. Pissing off paying customers is never good business sense.

But you also admit that you might not be pissed off for logical reasons. Looking at this situation from Bethesda and MS's point of view, it's quite possible that in a similar way to GTA IV's DLC, MS might be funding the development of this content. For all we know, this DLC might never have existed without MS. Looking at things in that way, should you be pissed at Bethesda or should you be pissed at Sony's "throwing money at 3rd party developers just show's you're insecure about your 1st party games" attidtude? It sucks, but as far as I know, Bethesda never promised you DLC before the game came out. You got the full product that you were expecting when you went out and bought it, so you aren't being cheated out of anything. |

Bethesda did not promise DLC (as far as I know, and it would be a dumb move to do so before release) but considering the lineage and history, it was expected. Not that I think it's anything to get pissed about.

Well, I liked Fallout 3, I actually want to play the DLC, but I can't. That's a perfectly good reason for nerdrage imo!
Balls to it. Mutter mutter mumble mumble dark plots evil thoughts rue the day etc etc rhubarb rhubarb.

You mean the lineage and history where the PS3 missed out on some of the Oblivion DLC as well? |
