"Game-breaking bugs, Skyrim is horrible"

Post » Mon Dec 12, 2011 2:28 pm

Every time I see ONE positive thread about Skyrim 40 people have to jump on it's case and say the same thing over and over again lol.

"Skyrim doesn't deserver GOTY with these bugs" "Skyrim failed cause of these bugs" "Skyrim is dead cause of these lowered textrues"
"Bethesda did worse than ever" (even though it's the biggest game they're ever done) "I'm never buying another Bethesda game again" (even though they will and have)

Yes, the game has lots of bugs. I'm not stupid enough to ignore that. But I've been playing this game on the "Unplayable cause of framerate" PS3 and I've loved every 109 hours of it so far.
Yes, 109 hours and 12+ mb on the PS3 and it's still the best PS3 game I've played. And no, I haven't upgraded my PS3 with any tricks and it's one of the original fat ones.

It just bothers me that players think it shouldn't get GOTY cause of bugs. Or that people believe it shouldn't get good reviews cause of the bugs. A review on the game should be about the game. Skyrim's main dragon quest blew me away. I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. I still prefer Morrowind's, but I didn't have my hopes up and they proved me wrong. And the game (even with these so called "low-textures") is the most beautiful game I've seen. I've never played a game where I stood on a cliff and just looked around instead of slaying stuff lol. And every day/night looks different so the view never gets old. The game itself is amazing.

The game is buggy as hell and sometimes gamebreaking for people and I understand the massive dissapointment from players. But don't flame reviewers and voters for the GOTY cause they gave it perfect or high scores. This game is still an artistic masterpiece of wrighting and design. The technical side of things on a game this huge is bound to go wrong, and they're working the kinks out.

They could've pushed it back and released it when it was more polished. Call me an optimist, but I'm happy as hell they stuck with this release date and that I've been able to play this bugtastic game for the last 2 weeks of my life straight.

Ok... I guess I've ranted enough for the day lol. Probably pointless since it will just be flamed and forgotten... but I already typed all this out so F it! Here ya go =)

Well said. I totally agree. And also "The old fat ps3"? That was badmans! XD I salute you sir. ^^

I'm on the PS3 myself, and I too think this has to be the best game I've ever bought for it. I've been a Bethesda fan for long enough now to know that every game they make has colossal bugs in it. But they also cater to a type of game that not many other games can boast: The ability to do what you want, when you want. Which is, in all fairness, the staple of the company. They never said they could make a game as large as Skyrim completely seamless and bug-free. They said they could deliver an immersive experience that allows you to delve into more options than grains of sand stuck to my butt on a beach.

So you're totally backed up Stormalong.

Well said. Never feel bullied into having to stick up for your opinion and Bethesda because of some ungrateful, naive trolls. The majority of Skyrim players agree with you, including me. I wont go out of my way to defend my own experience. Its an amazing game, and I cant stop playing. Period. Let the trolls and kids whine and moan until they get bored, just like they did with the game, and most likely how they do with any other interest they have in real life.
