lolhesda has never made an adequate game

You [i] could[/i] make a good augment...but you didn't do that... Bethesda games are always buggy... asking if a BGS game will have bugs is like asking if water is wet... Skyrim ports are for different platforms...switch and vr... complaining about them targeting new players is petty... Youre complaining about them being a shitty publishing company yet you could only find one game that had a bad release on one system to put in your post...if that's the best you can come up considering doom DH1 DH2 on Xbox PS The evil within Wolfenstein I'd think one hiccup is forgivable It's NOT paid mods since all mods can still be uploaded and downloaded for free if the author wants to... they are making new content in house with SOME modders that want to get paid...there is a HUGE gap you gotta jump through to get a mod made and be sold... One of the biggest complaints about Skyrim and fo4 was lack of good dlc so they try and fix that by adding in new official content and you bitch about it... The fact you're bitching about how long it took to get mods on console tells me you just like to bitch...they added in a service they didn't have to for free instead of being happy it happened you bitch about it...it either took longer than expected to get it working or they wanted you to play the base game and get all the dlc before mods came out... And fo4 followed the (what seems to be the new normal) dlc model for bgs games 2 major dlcs and then some stupid shit...fo4 just had 4 stupid dlcs instead of the 1 like Skyrim... If you don't like the games they make or publish don't buy them...

You know a good game Bethesda released? RAGE. And then they abandoned the project for the second one that honestly had the most potential out of anything.

Nope, Bethesda makes some of the fullest, most rewarding, intensely story and experience driven games on the market. They don't do console exclusives and DLC almost always adds to story or much more to do with how you play, their games are MASSIVE in size so bugs are to be expected. As far as paid mods go, fine, there will still be an atomic -blam!- TON of free mods and frankly content creators for mods do them for college and fun anyway, if they wanna be paid for their hard labor then let them be paid, we as gamers have no god given right to free changes/additions of code in any game, especially when most of Bethesda game glitches can be fixed by reverting to a past save. I don't like it either but modders have earned their pay if the mod makes the game somehow better. And there's nothing wrong with Todd Howard just like there's nothing wrong with you other than insinuating Bethesda be a terrible developer because you have beef with changes they made in order to stay in buisness. I believe my point has been succinctly put.

Hopefully the success of The Witcher 3 forces them to up their game in Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and any other RPGs they make in the near future.

Say what you will. I enjoyed every game built / published by Bethesda

As to your first point, I wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo forced Bethesda to fix all the bugs in order for them to port it the Switch.

No, they make great games.

No Stop lying to yourself

I've literally been saying this forever, but Bethesda gets so many passes "because Skyrim." The same people who hate on Ubisoft/EA/Literally any studio for buggy games and unfinished launches, are the same people who praise Bethesda's lackluster gameplay, shady business practices, and false promises.

No, I don't agree at all. Get that paid mods complaint off the thread though, because yall don't deserve to complain about that. Paid mods are a system that is NOT replacing free mods. This mod club basically stands to allow people looking to make a career practice some form of work with Bethesda. Since people want to download mods and not donate to aspiring modders in the community, you'd be surprised at how many modders are looking forward to an actual chance to do more than supply you whiny ass kids with grade C mods. I can't list you a single release or game I've played that hasn't bugged out or pissed me off at some point, either. Food for thought.

Want some fries with that salt?

Never let go of the skyrim coaster

•Skyrim still has dozens of game breaking bugs that the modding community fixes years ago. Bethesda's too busy making more ports of Skyrim to care. [i]In a game as large as Skyrim, there will be bugs, that is inevitable - unless you want the development cycle of a game to be 30 years. As far as I am aware, there are no game breaking bugs still in the game. There are a handful of quests that you cannot finish under certain circumstance, but these aren't game ending bugs. Also, most of these have work arounds that can be easily found online. While this is not a perfect solution, the alternative is that the development team be tied up with this for ages, rather than working on other games.[/i] •Bethesda refuses to give review copies to reviewers until 24 hours before launch. [i]I agree. This is a bad practice. So while they do provide free demos to players, I still think that early review copies for outlets should be provided.[/i] •Dishonored 2 had a shoddy PC port, which we didn't discover until it was too late due to said review policy. [i]This does need to be addressed, but this is an issue with whoever did the port. While Bethesda is ultimately responsible for publishing, I doubt they were fully aware of the port's quality. Again, a change in review policy could help fix this. I am skeptical here that this was done malicious tho.[/i] •Paid mods are back, despite having failed miserably in the past. [i]Paid mods are not in and of themselves a bad thing. It allows Bethesda to provide additional content beyond their usual means, and provides aspiring programmers/modders a means by which to be compensated for their work. The issue was in the implementation of the previous paid mods scheme. Since we don't have enough information at this time on the current system , I suggest withholding judgment.[/i] •Console mods were announced a few weeks after Fallout 4, yet didn't release until a year later. Meanwhile Bethesda was praised for announcing F4 so close to launch. [i]The issue there was getting them approved by Microsoft and Sony, the fault is not with Bethesda. Even if it were, your point hardly seems useful. It is a non-sequitur, and appears as though you just want to flame Bethesda with whatever you can find.[/i] •Fallout 4 also launched in a broken and buggy state, despite Bethesda studio employing many developers with decades of experience. The Witcher 3 launched the same year, made by a studio made up of a lot of people whose only experience in development was the previous 2 Witcher games, yet it was far more polished both in terms of visuals and gameplay. [i]So are we just giving the Witcher 3 a free pass now? Or have you forgotten all the hilarious bugs around roach. Aside from that, there were other issue with the game. Neither title was perfect at launch, and both we're patched heavily. This is an issue with the industry more generally. So while Fallout 4 had more bugs, don't pretend like it was the only open world game to have them. At best, if your argument here was 100% true, it just shows that a shining example is better than another publisher...not that Bethesda is bad. You have proven a relative claim, not a standardized one.[/i] •Fallout 4's expansion pass got a massive price bump, despite Bethesda at the time having no idea what they would make to justify this. [i]False, the price was bumped up after determining that more than the original planned content was being provided. Your next sentence demonstrates that you understood this.[/i] •The extra DLC they released to justify the price bump were 2 minor town building DLCs and 1 actual expansion. [i]Do I really need to explain why you just played yourself? You acknowledge that 3 extra offerings were provided, one substantial enough for you to call it "actual"...just because you don't like the content doesn't mean it didn't take resources to make. They made more content, they should get paid more for that content.[/i] •Bethesda locks achievements if you mod in Fallout 4, even on PC where you can use console commands to easily breeze through the game and get every achievement without any challenge. [i]This is kinda petty TBH. Like I understand, but that shouldn't really make you think that Bethesda is terrible.[/i] •Todd Howard. https://youtu.be/yvGXCisAaR4 [i]I'm too lazy to watch the link.[/i]

They are totally overrated. Don't get me wrong, Skyrim is my favorite game of all time, but they haven't don't much since then. Just a couple weeks ago I got back into skyrim and played through the DLC. The annoying, always hostile Moth Priest glitch plagued me on my run through Dawnguard. I had to restart the whole dawnguard DLC. The annoying, broken Miraak fight messed me up because a third dragon never spawned. So I had to redo that. The game is seven years old. But, instead of fixing the glitches in their game that they hold so highly, they focus on VR and moving it to Switch. How about you lazy people fix the game already out. Their graphics are outdated and their games always broken and glitchy.

I disagree. I think you should try making a game like Skyrim and then see how easy it would be to fix the bugs.
