They did it for Fallout: New Vegas, and heck, for awhile there it looked like the PlayStation 3 version of Fallout 3 wouldn’t get downloadable content at all, so it comes as no surprise to anyone that the new Elder Scrolls game due out November 11 will be followed by a pair of 30-day exclusive add-on content packs for the Xbox 360.
Now don’t get all upset, PlayStation 3 and PC gamers. For all we know those Xbox 360 players might just be getting first dibs at some horse armour. Or they could be getting epic new locations with new creatures and amazing magical items that change the very face of the game itself.
The point is, if we start fussing now we’ll be all fussed-out when we find out what the first downloadable content is. We have to pace ourselves.

Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 10:28 AMHmm. I hadn’t read to much into this game yet, but this seems to me to be a sure sign that this is going another dumbed down version of Morrowind for a bunch of people who think they are gamers.

Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 10:34 AMYes well Matthew, its not like they would go backwards in game design, making it less user friendly just to appeal to the more hardcore DnD style audience.
I’ve bought Elder Scrolls games on consoles since Morrowind and I do so because I have a crappy computer and it also stops me from opening the consoles or modding the game and cheating.

Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 1:40 PMYou’re not doing anything to make console gamers look any less ignorant and childish with that post. If you knew anything at all you would know that one of the most popular mods for Oblivion actually made it harder and more dynamic (removing the ridiculous scaling that it featured), not cheating. And how is adding more depth to a game going backwards in game design? That’s like saying cartoons aimed at a three year old are better than the Prestige because they’re more accessible.
It’s because of people like you that games are dumbed down.

Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 11:42 AMI kinda figured they would side with x-box for anything slightly exclusive.
Every bit of game footage bar has been shown on xbox, bar maybe one that i saw being played on a ps3.

Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 1:44 PMI’m fine with it, as long as they get the mod-tools and mod application right. I can wait until then.

Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 2:03 PMMeh. 30 days. Who gives a toss?

Saturday, August 27, 2011 at 4:07 PMHonestly, i doubt anyone with a job or school will be done with the vanilla game by the time the DLC comes out for any console. Bethesda has a HUGE hard-on for content, so i’m not worried about waiting for a little more because i play on PC. Shit happens. As long as we get it before TOO long.

Sunday, August 28, 2011 at 6:43 PMOnce again, game publishers prioritise players a 6 year old console ahead of those running up-to-date computers. Sad

Monday, August 29, 2011 at 8:10 AMMeh. I’ll just buy the GOTY/Compiled edition in a year or so with all the DLC included on the disk.
