This is a really pathetic display. I bought BioWare Points yesterday because I was told, yet again, that this thing would be available. I've now spent more time reading about delays than I will spend actually playing this rather small piece of DLC.
So pathetic. XBOX360 has serious problems (my friend can't access ANY DLC unless he is constantly connected to the internet, which he isn't so the DLC doesn't work for him at all even though he purchased it and downloaded like you would any NORMAL DLC). And then the 360 finally gets a patch.... and it fixes achievements? Achievements? What kind of FUBAR prioritizing is that? Except, the patch ALSO breaks your ******* game.
Lovely. Well, I don't have a 360 version of DA, thank ******* god, so can I please get what I paid for already with this trite little trinket of a DLC that is apparently complicated enough to make your company look like it's run by total amateurs? Or is some other BioWare exec going to come here and lie to me some more today so as to extract more of my money for promised goods that simply never show up (or break your ******* game)?
Really don't think any lies have been told...if you're THAT upset..time to go punch a pillow or run around the block.
Its a game.....its not the end of the world, nobody killed your dog. I promise.They..if you read the Bioware comments at the top of this thread, have been working to fix things, patches..they pulled the dlc, which I hear was released too early by Microsoft, but don't quote me.
Things go wrong..thats how it is. For downloading anything on the Net you need to be connected to it. As for how consoles work..I dunno would assume the same thing? There is a workaround for some of the things you mentioned, see above my post, others have said that there are workarounds, just takes having to do some things again I would imagine. OR you could wait for the patch that fixes these things.
Actually Chris did say it would be made available for PC yesterday, and we've received no word on it since. I won't go so far out to call that lying but still at any rate even with the 360 title update snafu, there's no reason, or at the very least a logical reason given, why they need to sit on the PC version of the DLC. Man up and release it already and I think the majority here who are prolly playing the PC version to begin with will finally be content.
Myself I'm not upset, these things do happen, with that being said though I honestly don't think this whole situation has been handled very well at all.

Nice stuff, Abriael!
But I must say... although I only have PC and won't ever bother to have a console... I hate all the cables!!!!!

I just hope BioWare realizes that this complete and utter epic fail with Return to Ostagar is not exactly doing wonders for their reputation with regards to DLC. They promised massive expansions for the first Mass Effect, and then found out that they'd made a game that didn't really support it. Then comes DA:O which has seen one DLC release at launch and then nothing but drama after that.
You guys really need to sort out your internal procedures, and communicate better. And please - please, please, PLEASE - stop delaying DLC on all platforms because you get a bug on one. I don't care which platform it is, but if it's ready, put it up, please.

And you clearly have no idea to what you are talking about about games being easier to develop on consoles because you have no clue how difficult it is to optimize games to run on the ps3's cell processor.
SithLordExarKun wrote...
And when exactly are pc games being developed for "4-5" operating systems? You DO realize there is only "one" operating system which is called windows? XP, vista and 7 are simply different versions of the operating system, a game that workds on one is likely to work on the others.
SithLordExarKun wrote...
WTF are you talking about? You DO know the 360's resolution is at 720p and PCs can go to 1080I and beyond?
Love Bethesda also am playing Oblivion again while i wait for RTO XDKillian Kalthorne wrote...
It seems that Bioware really shouldn't do DLCs any more. After ME's lackluster DLCs and this epic failure with RtO I think they should just make games and large expansions and leave DLC making to the pros, like Bethesda. Compared to Fallout 3, ME and DA are epic failures on the DLC front.

It is... That's not the PC by the way. The second PC is linked to the monitor in the middle (alongside with the older consoles and the Wii that's now gathering spider webs, as the blue light of abandonment showsFeraele wrote...
Good to know, played NWNII ..all expacs etc, but was never around at the time when all the releases were happening..wasn't aware. Thanks.
Actually all leads us to believe that the real release date for RTO was today. In fact it was listed in the Microsoft site as 1/14/2009 when it appeared.
It seems quite obvious that the badly leashed microsoft server monkey inserted the wrong date in his terminal and didn't bother to doublecheck, resulting in the immediate release of the DLC because the system considered it already released.

Every developer loves them. That's why points systems exist to begin with.

There are certain situations in the past
where I have had to deal with Microsoft ...where I haven't been very
happy with their services or the results. Thats all I'll say about
that!! As to what you're saying..doesn't surprise me.
Microsoft
makes in the billions every year, but in some areas they cut costs by
exporting work to other countries..where English isn't commonly used,
thats where problems end up happening. Reading scripts to a customer
does not pacify that customer nor does it solve that particular
customer problem. Been there done that...refuse to do it again
lol.

Not everyone is willing to give bioware (or anyone else) free credit with nothing to show for it. It's not a matter of straining our finances too. It's a matter of principle.
If I pay for something, i'd like to be able to use it, that's all.Feraele wrote...

The Gaming market doesn't work like that. Software houses need to decide release dates in advance and communicate them to distributors, retailers and providers, in order to allow them to make their own release schedules and plans. Such dates WILL leak even if bioware stays shut about them. Most of the big release announcements are leaked first by retailers.
Basically by doing as you suggested, they would see release dates leaked anyway, and would have to give up the hype building that comes from having release dates officially announced.

From my long time online gaming experience...Retailers are CLUELESS about release dates. They always guestimate, and usually give a date, that makes people want to buy from their store first.
You want release dates? Get them from the game publisher and or developpers.
Thats been my rule of thumb...for a long time.
Yeah my hubby asked why i bought them too . I told him i dunno yet but just in case LOL. Anyway i'm just one of those ppl that alwys over prepares for everything such as storms and holidays Etc. Just confuses me as to way ppl are upset that spent $5 and it's delayed wouldn't you rather have it right than rushed? When it's right you'll get your $5 worth. I'm not happy about the delay's either but i'm not gonna Have an anurism about it trying to figure it out lol-Semper- wrote...
