[Xenon]

Better Texures - $10(what I'd pay)

 

[aronnov]

ROFLMFAO!!!!! this right here is why the pc version is so much better...

 

[Tat]

Nice seeing how there is no way they could have included this with the $60-70 games from the start.

I'd rather be lying down on my couch then sitting on my chair for 4-5 hours

 

[aronnov]

I'd rather be lying down on my couch then sitting on my chair for 4-5 hours

I understand that arguement and agree but these extra charges are bullcrap.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

Horrible. This is the worst part of what we'll be getting on 360/PS3 Next Gen.

Laptop ftw

 

[Gattsu25]

Gamepad controls, too

Laptop ftw

For Oblivion?

I can't lie on the couch and use a laptop.

Invencible Armor - $10
Mace of love - $20
...

Late April Fools' right? I mean seriously that mace is like 1/3 the price of the game, wtf?

EDIT: Definitely fake

 

[fartblast]

letting people enjoy what they like ftw

 

[SteveMeister]

Mace of love - $20

wtf?:lol

He's making up everything except the horse armor

 

[skybaby]

Erm, I wonder if we will ever see that on the PC version?

 

[kaching]

nm.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

EDIT: nm crapxozr

 

[Master]

Are people really that gullible? Of course he made everything up except for the horse armor.

He was being funny.

 

[Tiger]

Mace of Love. :lol

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Uh wait, WTF. They said the horse armor download was going to be free.

He's making up everything except the horse armor

Uh, WTF Steve? I distinctly remember hearing/reading that the horse armor download would be free. Now it's not? That's so fucking lame.

 

[crunker99]

seems almost every commentor at nelsons is pretty unhappy about this

 

[Spencerr]

no.


I can't lie on the couch and use a laptop.

For Oblivion?
Laptop FTL.

A) Well, I can, easily.
B) Incorrect. Core Duo + nvidia 7800 = quite good enough.

 

[Odysseus]

nm

 

[kaching]

Are people really that gullible?

Well, someone is bound to pay for that horse armor pack, so...yes.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

Uh wait, WTF. They said the horse armor download was going to be free.



Uh, WTF Steve? I distinctly remember hearing/reading that the horse armor download would be free. Now it's not? That's so fucking lame.

Agreed. I'm disappointed in this, and won't purchase it. I hardly use a horse in the game as it is, and see no real value in it.

 

[Ghost]

Uh wait, WTF. They said the horse armor download was going to be free.



Uh, WTF Steve? I distinctly remember hearing/reading that the horse armor download would be free. Now it's not? That's so fucking lame.

Clearly 200points is an administrative charge, moving that much data from one place to another must be really complex.........



;(


Is this just an asthetics change or does it actually make my horse harder to kill, cause i could use a tougher horse.

 

[SteveMeister]

Uh wait, WTF. They said the horse armor download was going to be free.



Uh, WTF Steve? I distinctly remember hearing/reading that the horse armor download would be free. Now it's not? That's so fucking lame.

Can you point me to any official word where Bethesda said that would be the case?

 

[Spencerr]

lol @ people jumping Steve's shit.

If you don't want it don't buy it. Any plans you can talk about to release it for PC Steve?

 

[Baron Aloha]

Edit (removed semi-huge rant): Sorry. Apparently this is all made up except for the armor. $3 for an item is still a rip-off though.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I agree. Offer me an expansion for $15-20 and I'll bite. Don't nickel and dime me for shit like this. Hats off to you for creating what's arguably the best game I've played in years, but this stinks.

 

[snatches]

A) Well, I can, easily.
B) Incorrect. Core Duo + nvidia 7800 = quite good enough.

Shit, you're totally right. Am converted. Trading in my HDTV and 360 for your awesome laptop rig. Have seen the light.

Thanks

 

[Spencerr]

Thanks

lol. elitist much?

 

[Dr_Cogent]

The guy who interviewed with Gaming Steve said that very thing.

 

[Leonsito]

Please videogamers all over the world, don't buy anything!

 

[IJoel]

I expected this... but, it still sucks.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

lol @ people jumping Steve's shit.

If you don't want it don't buy it. Any plans you can talk about to release it for PC Steve?

I'm not "blaming" Steve. He's just the guy who works at Bethesda who should know more than we should.

 

[Tain]

lol. elitist much?

Heh, seriously. I don't get the overly-defensive behavior.

Spoiler

Ignoring the fact that you can get stuff like this for free, use a couch, use a 360 gamepad, and use an HDTV with the PC version.

I agree. Offer me an expansion for $15-20 and I'll bite. Don't nickel and dime me for shit like this. Hats off to you for creating what's arguably the best game I've played in years, but this stinks.

Definitely. I mean, how many of these items are planned, anyway?

 

[Jim]

Even last year they were hinting at this.

"Marketplace 360 is going to be a big deal for us," says Howard.
"One of the first mods we're offering is horse armor: We have horses you can ride around on in the game and we had this idea kind of late in the process--wouldn't it be cool if you could buy armor for your horse?"

 

[Archie]

sigh

 

[Dr_Cogent]

Please, no one buy this. This is complete bullshit. 3 dollars for horse armor? Please. Spare me.

The game is 60 bucks new. That's 5% the cost of the entire game. Millions of dollars I am sure went into this games development. There is no way that this horse armor is worth 5% of 60 bucks.

If it was 50 cents. That would be more reasonable. Or 25 cents. 3 bucks? :lol

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Horrible. This is the worst part of what we'll be getting on 360/PS3 Next Gen.

Agreed. These types of things should be unlockable based on something like Achievement points. Paying for this stuff is horse shit.

 

[Sysgen]

People payed $10 xtra for a small paperback and a piece of metal so why not $3 for horse armour.

 

[kaching]

If it was 50 cents. That would be more reasonable. Or 25 cents. 3 bucks? :lol

Yeah, I'd really like to see more of the micro in microtransaction.

 

[Dr_Cogent]

People payed $10 xtra for a small paperback and a piece of metal so why not $3 for horse armour.

I didn't!

 

[Sysgen]

Well now I know why some of the enemies ignore me and attack my horse. Must buy that horse armour :lol. I stopped buying them because of this and just steal them now.

 

[Vieo]

I don't get it. Is this in-game content Bethesda is selling or is it a user-created mod someone is selling? (like how some people sell the clothes they make for The Sims)

 

[Pimpbaa]

People payed $10 xtra for a small paperback and a piece of metal so why not $3 for horse armour.

Because you are already overcharged for the game itself compared to the pc version, now they want to charge you for mods?
