Fatalmasterpiece Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 It would be best if Bethesda just released it to everything same time. But then they wouldn't be getting a fat check from Microsoft for giving it to them first. And it's Obsidian, not Bethesda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minngarm Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 by releasing it to one system first you are more likely to convert owners on other systems to buying it for that system just so they can play the DLC (also another purchase.) sooner. Its a simple marketing tactic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odile Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 (edited) I don't mind waiting for the DLC...we at least have the mods to keep us occupied. But I really feel bad for the PS3 players, who get no mods or DLCs. :( I'm sure I'll enjoy Dead Money...I know a lot of people don't seem to be liking it very much, but I think I'll enjoy it even if just for the depth it adds to the Player Character and the additional lore/storyline it provides. *nerd* Edited February 2, 2011 by Odile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaikotsu Akunin Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I love how Obsidian stabs their true fans in the back. They know modder communities are one of the biggest support groups for their games, and yet they fail to give something back to us. Personally I am very offended this happened, and lowered my standards of Obsidian expectations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esrafael Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Why? MS no doubt offered a huge amount of cash for it to be an Xbox exclusive, and I have no problem with Bethesda trying to make as much money as possible. More money = bigger development budgets to make better games. It's a smart business decision; I don't get why people keep treating it like a personal insult.

UttaNutta Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Meh. One little DLC doesn't compare to the sheer awesomeness of the whole modding community. It's done by people who know how they like to play, and constantly achieve better results than a company ever could. The console versions don't have that, and lack SOOOO much. "Good Work Men. Fistbumps all around." Anyone get the reference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostrecon123 Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 (edited) atleast we have mods to keep us entertained while we wait for the DLC but one thing that just annoys me though, its people always asking me in my youtube mod vids asking "can you do this on 360?" i'd love to say "you 360 people already have DLCs first and now you come here and want a piece of mod action too? can your 360 do this? do that? mod that? mod this? NO, your 360 aint so good now eh?" i personally think releasing it for 360 first is a stab on the back for fallout's most loyal customers, the PC community, the modding community, i know its one of their "evil" (well not really evil but i just like how it sounds when combined) money making marketing tactics but some people might get angry and retaliate by pirating games instead of supporting the creators so this marketing strategy is not a sure fire way to get money, you might even lose some because of pirates who where one's loyal customers but one thing's for sure is that i'm still gonna "BUY" stuff though not pirate it Edited February 3, 2011 by ghostrecon123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
