Skyrim’s PR disaster with Dawnguard on PS3

ProductReviews: From the perspective of most PS3 owners Dawnguard has been a marketing disaster for Bethesda, and if it wasn’t enough that PS3 players saw Microsoft’s money buying a timed exclusive now they have no idea when the first Skyrim DLC will land on their games console. It is fair that Dawnguard shouldn’t release with major problems, but its been 3 weeks since the Xbox 360 exclusive ended, 7 weeks since the Xbox 360 received the DLC, and over 9 months since the game launched.

Shouldn't come as a surprise, Bethesda's communication skills have never been their strongest attribute.

Would be nice if they could get the game to stop crashing randomly. The 1.6 ps3 patch they just released seems to have fixed the crashing related to the water textures, but it still crashes randomly when loading a new area. Maybe when they finally release Dawnguard on the PS3 this issue will be taken care of. What is odd to me about this is that I never experienced issues with Fallout 3 personally...yet I remember reading it was plagued with similar issues.

mewhy324278d ago

Well I have to agree that it should've released by now. The studio obviously is have techincal problems on ps3 like they had on the original release. I'd guess that they'd rather get it fixed before the release, avoiding the bad press. I'd rather wait for a good released instead of getting something that needs a patch. "Good things come to those who wait."

I bought the game and have not played it yet. I do know that from now on I will buy their games used.

DA_SHREDDER4278d ago

Just do what I do. Buy the goty edition a year later at gamestop used for 15 bucks. Bethesda, i love their games, but they are losing the war when it comes to trolling. They are rich enough though. They fanboyism is so hard they don't even care if it bites them in their own butt.

kostchtchie_4278d ago

people do not have the right to moan when they continue to support these types of developers that do shoddy versions of there games, either do it decent across the board or not at all, this bullshit has been going on from them this whole generation and still ps3 games get on there knees and suck

Skyrim “Special Edition” - What’s so special about it?

"With having no internet at the moment I’ve had a chance to go back through my steam library and play games I wouldn’t normally go back and play, and Skyrim is one of them. With the new remaster, and no modding capabilities while I’m offline, what better way to experience the game than the “Vanilla Deluxe” version."

Kokyu2702d ago

"What so special about it? " you get to pay for it again......yeah

hirobrotagonist2702d ago

I got the game for free on pc and I have over 200 mods installed (many of which I converted myself from the original Skyrim). Within 120 hours of gameplay I've only had 4-5 crashes (always mod related)and it looks beautiful. Even on my monster rig the original skyrim crashed regularly with half the mods I have now and it didn't look as good or run as well. I'm more than happy with the remaster.

KingAlistair2702d ago

i have 600+ mods installed for my cousin,cleaned every dirty edit,ugrid 11 and never had a crash in 100 hours,ulta/4k/110+ fps unlocked.Looks massively better than the remaster.

hirobrotagonist2702d ago

Is there no mod limit in the SE? Also, what are your pc specs if you're getting that FPS with mods? I have a pretty beastly system and my FPS took a big dive with all the mods I'm running and I even dropped down to 1080p. Also, isn't ugrids 11 extremely unreliable and causes a ton of glitches related to NPC AI behavior?

KingAlistair2702d ago (Edited 2702d ago )

Sli asus 1080s oc,i7 5820k 4,4 ghz,32 gb ram.Its close to 600 last time i checked ugrids first at 7,9 and were stable.11 also seem stable,but i have the game for my cousin and brother.Havent seen any weird npc behaviour.Graphics mods i use are the usual such as DynDOLOD,climates of tamriel,folra overhaul,grass on steroids,parallax etc.Gonna try noble skyrim at some time.No aa,just reshade. http://www.nexusmods.com/sk...

AndreR2702d ago

It looks better than the original. It is obvious.

Perjoss2702d ago

Its full fat 4k on the pro, its pretty special looking to be honest.

KingAlistair2702d ago

For console players.For pc,2-3 out of 10 unmodded.
