My first blog post, bear with me. Heh, bears.
So Bethesda's finally offering up DLC on PS3, well they're preparing for an "update" which means fucking ass nothing.
You know what's awesome though? This "update" could just be "updating" us on the release date of the DLC on the PSN. It's like the Ontario (Canada) court system; You get arrested October 28th, you get a ticket telling you to go to court much much later on (read: a few months later) and you go just to "update" yourself on the actual court date, which could be a few months more of waiting. Now on that second date you've been "updated" on, if things don't go your way, you have to either do the whole process again or come back another day if they didn't get to you.
It's a whole fucking dog and pony show.
Now with the DLC, Bethesda's seen plenty of sales on the 360 for their DLC packs, but the PS3 owners were left in the dust. Now we get no date but a promise that we'll get the DLC at some point, some time, this summer.
Guess what assholes? The GOTY edition is coming out around October right? So all the content will be on there (up to Mothership Zeta it's been told?) right? If the first DLC comes out next week, let's say 16th and they plan on actually pulling out DLC every "four to six weeks"
we wouldn't get Mothership Zeta until January 16th 2010! and that's only if they keep to the minimum time frame of having them four weeks apart.
So if the GOTY edition comes out in October, PS3 owners will be left in the dust with probably one DLC pack included in the GOTY game while 360 gets everything? What does it mean? Will content up to Mothership Zeta be on the disc, meaning that the PSN schedule is delayed or something? Is it so hard to hit "upload" after finishing the PS3 code? What's the story morning glory? Is the update next (this) week to tell us how you guys are douchers and chavs and you might just show some mercy at the PS3 serfs? Are you actually thinking you can get out of this clusterfuck without losing any customers?
I really want some fucking answers. Usually I don't rant and rave and nerd rage roid out like this, Hell even Valve's "yeah L4D2 is coming out" made me go "/shrug, it's an awesome game, here's my wallet". Next Bethesda related game?
Buying used. And I played the DLC on my buddy's computer, I think he
downloaded them.
Anything to make you guys lose that one sale that ultimately doesn't matter. So Godamned pissed.

A year ago, I would have joined in with you on the Bethesda hate, when MTV asked them "so what are your plans for PS3 DLC", and they simply said: "nothing".
It's coming out now, dude. Why the hate? Ask your mom for a 360 for Christmas if it's not out by then, you'll be fine.
Is anyone a Something Awful.com goon? Back in the day, they changed profane words to "yams yams yams yams" if you cursed on the forums.
Destructoid aptly changed this blog's "fuck" title to " Lobster Milkshake you Bethesda" on the main page listing. AMAZING.
I think this is more Sony and/or Ms's fault more than anything.
@Magnalon: Broham, lobster milkshake has been doing its thing for a while. :p
@Magnalon: I have three 360s, not because they've been replaced, three separate ones. It's a fantastic system by its own merits. But I got the PS3 one with F3 because it was my system of choice. I'm not rebuying it for the 360 just for the DLC.
@Diverse
In nearly a year of lurking, I've NEVER seen it before. Just like how I never had Bioshock's spoiler ruined for me before beating it a few months ago, and then ALL OF A SUDDEN I see it everywhere like "Snape kills Dumbledore".
then just wait for the upcoming months you'll ejoy all the DLC you can handle
Wait, so you're complaining that they're bringing it out too slowly when they said they weren't going to give it to the PS3 in the first place? You kids today, with your screwy priorities. Be glad you're getting it. Better late then never.
And thanks Mag. I was on book 5 of HP.
Geez, how pissed will you be after I tell you that I have the 360 version but have no interest in the shitty DLC. If they put it into 2 packs instead of four or however many they're doing, I might have given a shit, but this $10+$10+$10 etc bullshit is worthless. I'd much rather buy a new or used older retail game for <$20 instead of these shallow busy work mission packs. Just play a different game, shit.
I spent 162 Hours in the Capital Wasteland. Leveled to 20 (of course) and scavenged every building. About a month later my PS3 hard drive freaked out and had to be reformatted. I have a backup of some of my older saves, but I'm only at level 13 and ~44 hours. I'm still undecided on the DLC.
who pissed in your korn flakes? go down to maryland and see if you could have done it quicker or quit your bitching. you sound like a spoiled little bitch whining over something that is out of your control.
People need to let these people vent without complaint. Otherwise it comes out in a 7-11, shotgun style. Rage on brother, rage on.
God dammit Magnalon. Not everybody has read all the HP books.
It was like the biggest meme of our lifetimes! Sorry!
