   You want a bad release or a good release?

      It’s already out on Xbox so they’ve got all the content created and they’ve had 30 days to port it over to pc/ps3.

         That’s asuming they developed it exclusively for the 360 in the first place.

         The Xbox files (they’re just .esm) work on the PC, so it’s not a matter of porting it over.

            Texture files on PC are .dds. On Xbox, they’re .ddx, so the textures, of which there are many, need to be the right format.

            Not that converting a bunch of textures is tough work for an amateur modder, much less a game studio made up of many professional developers.

   Seriously, last time this PC player pays premium for Bethesda loyalty. Next game they release I wont be buying till 2 years later when its $5 for the GOTY version… It will still look better 3 years old on the PC.

      That’s my plan. No Skyrim for me yet. I’ll be holding out on Borderlands 2 too.

   Bethesda dun goofed. I hope they realise how many people they’ve pissed off with this.

   They announce “well we didn’t actually say it was coming out on PC or PS3 at all…” on the day that everybody was EXPECTING IT TO COME OUT. Really bad PR.

   They fucked up on this one. A delay is fine, but now saying it’s not announced at all for other consoles? Seriously? What are they, stupid?

   the longer the delay, the more this will hurt their bottom line as better games come out from mid august on wards. besides this is bethesda and we all know that dawnguard has a lot bugs on the 360 that will not be fixed at all for when the ps3 and pc versions are eventually released.

   And the only reason why the PC version has not been released is because bethesda uses steam instead of shitty G4WL. If PC users were forced to use G4WL i garentee that PC players would of been playing dawnguard back when it was released for the 360.

      I don’t think so. Microsoft doesn’t care about G4WL (it’s not even called that anymore).

   Seriously, it had a 30 day exclusive – doesnt mean they intended to release it the day after the exculsivity finished. As far as we know they finished and polished the 360 version first to get it out and are using the following time to polish the PS3/PC version.

   They never announced any date nor did they ever say this content was coming to either platform. It will get here when it gets here and im sure it will be sooner than later.

   You would think given the popularity of the game they would be churning out DLC, license to print money.

    I’d rather these guys fix Skyrim first. Everytime my Level 42 King of Nipples jumps in the water near Windhelm my PS3 locks up.
