Yeah... Just the fact that you can get around this limitation by saving the game before that mission shows how ridiculous it is.

If you don't save the game for a while before getting there, you're screwed just because Mr. Developer didn't want to make this a standard. But hey, at least there will be more used copies on the shelves.

Nope not true. It's a DLC because it will continue the story directly after the main quest.

"Broken Steel

In some ways internet is a curse, before devs had to have eveything perfect but now we get a broken game where patches are expected and worst of all DLC is exposed.

I think I read somewhere, that one feature in DLCs will be higher max. level. If it´s true, and PS3 owner don´t get it via patch, or something, it will be bigger shaft, then this. After all, saving before last boss and doing some side quests is pretty common in JRPG. And most people don´t give it any thought.

It has something to do with the ease of development and the Live infrastructure plus, I think it makes it far easier and profitable to release DLC on the system and the likely payback is prime billing on the Spotlight channel and maybe royalty free downloading? In any case its significant free advertising and Microsoft still gets theirs back with extra sales of the game on their system as people will once again be reminded that the game exists.

Didn't know this patch was coming for 360. Greeaaat!!! The head of the enclave has an amazingly powerful gun which I was so pissed off I could never use it. Look forward to pumping a few shots into some Super Mutants.

Eh, glad i got the PC version.

Seems common practice to "screw" the PS3 port... i guess due to it being more expensive to go back and fix stuff.

I really didn't get the end design anyway. In an open world game it just seemed a very silly choice to close the door on your game so abruptly.

I'm not a fan of exclusive DLC as its a competitive device that actually limits gamers access to content and therefore does the consumer a diservice, but it's clearly part of the landscape right now.

The J man never got this problem , after prime finished his rampage on the enclave the game automatically saves and wasnt an autosave file.

That is just crazy, looks like I'm getting it for PC then.

I can't agree with what their doing, but what can you do. With such a simple feature, that should be a Feature download for all who buy their game. It should not be Exclusive DLC.

It's almost like saying "Hey, Thanks for buying our game. Oh PS3 users, were giving you absolutely nothing in return." *Waves DLC in front of their face*...*walks over to 360 and PC and inserts* /evil grin + laughter!

Then those can argue "Well, what about the Bioshock DLC for the PS3!?!?!". Well, let's see, what's the user base for Bioshock on PS3 compared to 360? Hmm, I don't think 360 users even care at this point. It was over a year old, people forgot it and didn't care to buy it just to DL new content.

But whatever, that's why I have a PC :P. Just trying to defend PS3 a bit. In the end, Bethesda can do whatever they like.
