Bethesda, don't pull a WB

Post » Fri Nov 27, 2015 8:51 pm

Guys I never post crap like this but considering the budget Batman AK had they still managed to batter the PC version and WB quality control must have been on their jollies. Luckily you're not outsourcing the PC version.

Take your time with the PC version, even if you have to delay a couple of weeks. Skyrim had a couple of issues on release, nothing like WB recently, but still, I'd prefer a late game than broken game :)

Bethesda games are always janky in some way, shape or form. It's just the problem with a game this big. WB is just...I don't even know...

Considering that PC mods are a wellspring of inspiration for them in developing "the next game", they're probably not gonna shaft the PC version.

Bethesda games are developed to be played on PC and then are ported to consoles, not vice versa. Should be good, or at least as good as a Bethesda game normally is.

Really.

Where are my 9 and 0 hotkeys?

Why did Skyrim ship with, on average, 512x512 textures?

I was thinking you were talking about how WB split up huge chunks of the game to sell for $50 as DLC.

True, skyrim was developed for the 360, however the worldbuilding and developer testing of this was done on pc as its faster.

I wondered if the PC only got the hires texture packs because they weren't certain if it would be released on the new consoles during development.

Depends on how much they knew about the X1/PS4 to begin with. Two year difference between Skyrim's launch and the X1/PS4.

It's ok, Bethesdas games are pretty janky on all platforms on release.

Now that's true equality.

Bethesda games always have launch bugs, but they're getting better. Anyone remember how much fun Daggerfall was out of the box?

It's not the bugs as such, we'll always have them especially so at launch, given the size and diversity of the game. I just want it to be playable and not a train wreck like AK.

Crashes and loading stutters and poor multi-threading are my biggest worries, modders can fix up the quest bugs.

I always seem to be lucky when it comes to buggy games, Skyrim and NV both had next to no problems for me to the point where I was pretty surprised hearing about how they were apparently somewhat broken. So if FO4 turns out to be a bugfest at launch I might just get lucky again.
