I would have much rather not been able to buy Skyrim on my PS3 (as angry as that'd make me) than put up with this nonsense.
It's clearly down to Bethesda, considering that almost every other developer can get it right. Even in games like Bioshock, which appear to use the same system for storing variables (resulting in large save files), there are no frame-rate problems!
DAMN. Honestly, I think that Bethesda should still release it, because Skyrim is already near-broken on the PS3. So if someone has the patience to put up with it and play the game, they might buy Dawnguard anyway in spite of its faults.
But yeah, maybe Bethesda should have delayed the game on the PS3 so that they could polish it up and make it stable. I don't think it would have hurt sales.
Although, it did give us a sales performance to rub in publishers' faces.

This doesn't effect me because I bought the 360 version, but still. This is really fucked up on Bethesda's part. It is an insult to anybody who bought it on the PS3. It was so buggy on there that you could barely play it and now this I am really disappointed and hope that they someday wil get around to release the DLC on there too. To all you that bought the PS3 Version my deepest condolences.
Wow. What a complete failure. Bethesda, I am disappoint. It's shocking that a studio with such a pedigree of excellent games would completely fuck up this bad, and with their flagship series no less.
So it does beg the question if Skyrim deserves so many GOTY awards if it, ya know, can't and will never completely function properly. And that's coming from someone who loves Skyrim.

Then put everyone on it if your little b team can't cut it but never sell a product you can't support.
Skyrim been sub par on all platforms honestly, the only reason the PC version works the best is because modders are fixing your game for you. This should be a non issue.
All the money you guys make maybe you should re-enforce your coding department some because half the issues with skyrim seem to be either negligence or incompetence.

Bethesda is horrible from a technical standpoint, and I say that as someone who only plays their games on a PC. I still can't exit New Vegas normally without it freezing my computer. As far as the PS3 issues go, how do you not foresee things like this? Did they not know how the system worked when they started? Pitiful. And I bet they won't do a single thing to make up for shafting people with a seriously flawed product.
Thats a bummer, but whatever.I would say they owe their customers it since like 2 or 3 million people bought it for the system, but it just saves them $20.
Serves those idiots right for buying a videogame on their supported platform of choice... wait what?
Ah well, Surely they can still release that epic firething house builder add-on for the PS3 version.
That'll more then make up for it, right guys?

I'm basically done with Skyrim, But it's still annoying. I don't have an xbox, So I never got to see some of the extra DLC in Oblivion until I got it on a Steam sale, Since the Oblivion DLC never came to PS3 either.
I love my PS3, but when I first bought Skyrim for it the game froze during the initial jail scene in the beginning. I had to reinstall it. I sold it that day and got the PC version. Bethesda is a master of its craft so how does something like this even happen?
"...knowingly selling a poor product is worse than not selling it at all." Good on Bethesda for keeping up standards here... Shame the Sony Skyrimmers are missing out, but hopefully Sony learn from this and will code the damn PS4 in a way people can approach with relative ease...
Yeah, they shouldn't have bothered with Skyrim on the PS3 at all. The product is glitchy and terrible... and the lack of DLC just makes matters worst.
If they do ever manage to produce any DLC for Skyrim for the PS3... it really should be free. At least that might be acceptable as an apology for the issues those that paid full price for the game have had to put up with.

Sigh. I talked about this the other day and pretty much decided to just go ahead and wait for the GOTY PC edition and just start all over again. I seem to be among the fortunate few that has precious few problems with the PS3 version, but I'm still pretty annoyed that I'm not getting the DLC that I've been anticipating since Day 1.
As a now ps3 only gamer (3 xboxes and 1 wii all dead & buried), I couldn't care less about the dawn guard dlc. I completed the main game, didn't enjoy it all that much, don't want more of the same.
However being that Fallout 3 & New Vegas are two of my favourite games of all time this does make me extremely worried about Fallout 4.
Come on Bethesda sort your shit out, if you gonna make a multiplatform game, it has to be acceptable standards on all platforms, I don't pay less than 360 or pc users, so I don't expect second class treatment.

No dawnguard for PS3, PC has mods better than dawnguard.
Microsoft wasted that money on getting Skyrim DLC faster. lol

What are we, 7 years into the PS3? And developers still can't figure it out? What a joke!
Glad I have both consoles for reasons like this.

Eh, never played Skyrim much anyway. It's on the backside of my backlog of games to play. Besides, Borderlands 2 is coming out, so Bethesda can go suck an egg for the rest of the calendar year.
How many of you developed a AAA title, with the size and magnitude of Skyrim? I love this site and hate this site at the same damn time.
Honestly, is anyone surprised? Bethesda have been horrible programmers for years now.
Hell, they have more issues than just that, such as texturing, modelling and animating, too.
Frankly, this just comes across as "it'd be more work than we thought it'd be, so we're not going to bother with it".

I don't even care to play Dawnguard anymore. It couldn't be half as compelling as watching these incompetents trip over their own dicks at every turn.
Thanks for the free entertainment, Bethesda.

once they were a couple patches in, skyrim ran alright on ps3. i platinum'd it...not proud of that (def not a trophy e-peener), but shows you can do all the main game stuff on ps3 - biggest thing was I had to reload every once in awhile when the framerate got bad.
i'm guessing the whole flying as a vampire thing is what is throwing it off, as the dragons were sometimes the worst offender to FR drops. longer draw distance and other things i dont really understand.

There must be some pretty serious issue here. They were able to release DLCs for previous games on the PS3 that use the same engine, so I can see why Bethesda didnt "foresee" this being a problem.
Of course theres only so much we can speculate about if they never release any details on what exactly the issue is. Id be pretty interested to know whats going on, even if I wouldnt understand all of it... But its a pretty serious problem in any case that they need to get worked out.

inb4 people surprised PS3 is shit to work wth
Not that it should be an excuse, but it should be pretty common knowledge.

Skyrim would have been amazing if it only consisted of pure dragon slaying.
The rest of the game put me to sleep, which is why I got rid of it.

I say to Bethesda: Release your shitty ps3 dlc for free. You've already done this much damage. I mean, why not?
If this turns out to be the case, then Bethesda should give PS3 owners a Steam code with Skyrim+Dawnguard to make up for it.
Bethesda should stick to PC games plain and simple. Instead of these half assed consoles ports they seem to be putting out lately. Develop with the PC foremost in mind then port that over to the consoles instead of the other way around. It just urks me to see a developer like bethesda fail when they have made good PC games in the past.
@Topken
So its agreed
We will gladly exchange Ubisoft (and their half assed PC ports) for Bethesda. So you won't have to suffer their half assed console ports.

"I love Bethesda a lot, but if you really can't develop games properly for a system, don't release them on the system."
Isn't that exactly what they're saying they might do? Seems like they're acknowledging the inferiority and saying, "we won't release this until it works right."
Damned if they do, damned if they don't, it seems.

It IS actually the same engine, but heavily modified to the point that they felt it warranted a new name. Still Gamebryo at it's core though, and it still has a lot of the same problems and limitations that all of Bethesda's games since Morrowind had. The Todd Howard PR train just doesn't like to admit it. DYNAMIC SNOW.
Jim's final comment hits it right on the head. As one of the PS3 version owners I've been feeling duped from the start, patch after patch, "fix" after "fix", and now this. Honestly it's as if they really didn't try (and maybe didn't' have to thanks to all of those awards they won mere weeks after release).
I don't think to myself "This is what I get for buying the PlayStation 3 version of the game", I think to myself "This is what I get for buying Bethesda".

To all PS3 owners unite and mail your copies to Bethesda broken into pieces with a letter saying "FUCK YOU GUYS no more money from me!"
