Lonesome Road delayed and first screenshot

They delayed it again? Weren't we supposed to be playing this last freaking month in July?

I've honestly never heard of a game that releases DLC a year after the game came out. This is just ridiculous.

We don’t have an exact date yet, but we’re working to get it out as quickly as possible.

"Working" = waiting and sitting on an already finished piece of software? Ok.

Uhm, what? Delay related problems are still problems that need to be dealt with. Maybe there has been an licensing issue come up. Anhd solving stuff like this is still "work". There is nothing wrong with the phrasing here.

The Sims still get's expansion packs. :>


If it would be me, there could be new New Vegas DLCs till the next big Fallout game comes out, as long as they don't add silly shit.

The Sims doesn't count.

That would be fine with me too, but instead they just keep delaying them instead of releasing new ones.

First Dead Money gets pushed months for everything but the X-Box, then both Old World Blues and Lonesome Road get their respective release dates delayed, they Lonesome Road gets delayed again? Now I understand the name "Honest Hearts", it's the only DLC where they were honest about the release date.

Edit: Actually didn't Honest Hearts get delayed about a week? Dammit! Here's an idea, don't tell us something will be released at a certain time unless it's going to be released then.

Edit: The least they could have done was given us a trailer. We all already know that the DLC has been more or less complete for at least a month.

First, the combined billing costs for all the SKU's is around $80,000. If the publisher doesn't think they can make that money back right away they don't release DLC. The timing of other more popular releases or if the previous DLC came out too recently will have an effect. Also, Microsoft has direct access to the number of units sold in all DLC and how many people are playing the game at any given time. If they aren't pleased with the numbers they pressure studios not to release anything, including patches. An extreme example of this is Duke Nukem Forever. Gearbox was able to release a patch for the PC version but not the console because the certification process and high cost is blocking them every step of the way.

I don't get this part. What's the rationale? :S

Ask Bill Gates.

I have another extreme example: AvP3. Several patches were released for PC while only a few made it to console. Currently both versions of the game deviate so drastically from each other it's like two different experiences. One is halfway decent and playable while the other is almost totally broken. There was more DLC they had ready to ship (new maps and weapons) but called it off because the numbers weren't there to justify the cost of certification.
 
GODDAMMIT.

I think that about sums up my reaction. How spoiler-heavy are the achievements? I'm still desperately trying to avoid looking at them.

Not too bad. only 2 things, one thing you may be getting from it, and upgrades.

To be fair though there were more DLC for Fallout 3, five against New Vegas's four. Plus you know that this DLC has been completed for a while now, months even. It was scheduled to be released last month.

Edit: When DLC for other games get released this long after the original game it's because the DLC was just completed. Lonesome Road has been completed (or at least nearly-completed) for months now. I really want to kick whoever on Bethesda's marketing team is responsible for this.

Wonder if they can use the time to fix bugs. Maybe we should ask.

Probably not, not if Old World Blue's delayed release was any indication.
