Playing Dawnguard for the first time was a bittersweet experience, as I originally played (and reviewed) the Playstation 3 version of Skyrim.

Look at dark souls on pc, released with the horrible console res of 1024x720, in 23 min a modder fixed it, you can now have 4K textures downsampled to 1080p, lol.Played For: ~25 hours to finish the new content. This is a pc game, where moddders can tweak the game for years to comeĪ new elder scrolls game is like a new operating system, it takes a whole community to find and work out all the bugs with all the possible varibles out there, and of course, with mods and a giagantic community of forums, the pc is the best place for that, on ps3/360, you just gotta cross ur fingers and wait for the dev to fix it for you Pop-in, screen tear, jaggies, bad shadows, corrupted textures, I get none of that on pc, my buddy plays on the 360, he loves it but he has had tons of issues, the framerates bad, the pop-in is atroucious, the load times are long

And before anyone comments, yes, they did say that the Xbox 360 would have it exclusively for 30 days before being released on the other platforms.Īll elders scrolls games are best on pc, thats where they started, thats where the are best played, the games are enourmous, the consoles lack the ram and the cpu and most importantly gpu to properly render and display the game Bethesda has no clue how many PS3 customers they are going to lose now. Yeah, that's a smart business practice right there. Oh, that's right, Microsoft called dibs and everyone with a PC and PS3 had to wait. Even then, I still got it because I really wanted to play.įollowing a paragraph I found mentioning said release on Steam, a Bethesda spokesperson said that the Playstation 3 version was delayed because, 'We are not satisfied yet with Dawnguard's performance on the PS3.' Figured I'd let those who have a PS3 know ahead of time.īut my personal side note on that quote: Really? It's been how long since the initial announcement of Dawnguard and even then the 30 plus days that Microsoft had it exclusively? What I'm saying is, if Skyrim can be released to all three platforms at the same time, why can't Dawnguard have been released like that as well?

Did I hear any announcement about that? Nope. Although I have Skyrim for the PC, they actually released it on the second of this month on Steam.

Is the dawnguard dlc free on ps3
