"Recent News" on Steam cites mass criticism!

Post » Sun Dec 11, 2011 11:41 pm

I love that in the "Recent News" section of Skyrim in Steam, Beth is slammed for making things worse with the patches to date! They also link to the "Unofficial Bug list" in the forum to point out just how much needs to be patched. I hope some of the news sites pick up on the fact that even the service used to deliver the game to consumers needs to point out just how much work this game needs! I bought Arkham City on sale to have something to play until this mess gets sorted out; ironically it's a bloody mess as well! How unfortunate that having a love for deep and engaging games now means putting up with this crap. Badly done, Beth. Badly done. Oh; and yes... I should have known, having owned Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout, and FNV.

It's the state of today's gaming industry and sadly WE the CONSUMERS are to blame for it as well.

It even says under the headline on there that the source is Kotaku.

Bethesda definitely does not deserve to be slammed for an awesome game like Skyrim. It's not reality and it's not fair. There's been way too much overreaction to every little thing. If people couldn't handle some bugs that go along with such a huge game right at release, they should have waited for a few months and some patching. What a downer...my game is awesome and I know any problems will be fixed.

...Ok; so I love that the biggest "News" from different game sites is that Beth needs to get it's a** in gear and fix their game. And whether it's controled by TPTB at Steam or not it's still what people are going to see when they're hovering over the "buy" button and that's the kind of thing that'll motivate Beth to fix the darn game. Don't get me wrong... I WANT to be playing this game. That's why I'm here early Wednesday morning trying to read about it being fixed. Instead I see the headline... "Did the Skyrim Patch Make Things Better? Or Worse?" when I load up Steam this morning hoping for some Skyrim play time!

Kotaku is a trash news site anyway. They are to gaming what FOX news is to the real world.

Yes, but.... I don't want to start investing so much of my time into a game with so many problems! I don't know about you, but I've got 2 kids and a job and my leisure time needs to be spent having fun, not pulling my hair out over framerates and lousy shadows and broken quests. The only reason I had the time to play today is that I'm stuck in the hotel until my flight leaves in a few hours! I was hoping for a patch that started making the game work on PC as intended, not this.

Weren't they the ones that made a huge song and dance about the 'leaked' info on New Vegas that said that there were Origins (Such as Chinese Ghoul) and vehicles?

The info that turned out to be a silly hoax.

The only problems even worth mentioning to date are the PS3 save file bug and a few game breaking quest bugs. The rest is aesthetic problems and essentially crying over nothing. PS3 players are the only ones with a real reason to gripe; they actually couldn't play.

My PC version has been running beautifully and even if I had run into big quest bugs it's to be expected in a massive open-world game. Toughen up kiddies.

I'd say buggering resists across the board is a fairly major faux pas.

Yeah, a few game breaking quest bugs, a few constant crashing to desktop bugs but hey we should expect it to be ****ty. It's really big!

...but you have time to complain about it on the internet...

Go play the game or spend time with your family. This is a bigger time waster than experiencing a huge game world that has a few bugs.

Like I said, if people didn't want to deal with any problems AT RELEASE, they should have waited until the problems were patched. There will be multiple patches and the game will end up as stable as it can be and mine is mostly stable now. These games are huge and now with so many people finding some issues, they can address them and make any NECESSARY changes. They're not going to rewrite the game for a few people's preferences. They created Skryim to their vision and it's great to most people, including me. I sometimes wonder if the "mass complaining" isn't being instigated by competing game developers to knock Skyrim down for their own reasons but that's the suspicious side of me.

They made a fairly major bug with the patch.

It wasn't needing fixed, but they broke it.


Seriously, take the rose tinted specs off.
