Maybe I'm just old but $70 base is too much for any game let alone one from a studio with known issues

I always found it kinda funny how gamers rage about the poor quality of games, but bugs with Bethesda is almost an expectation

Do you really get that vibe? I feel like a lot of people refer to Bethesda games as a buggy mess. There's the whole Bugthesda thing.

I think all the mods designed to improve performance have helped the reputation a bit but I still wouldn't play Fallout New Vegas on a PS3 due to the bugs.

[-] tdawg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I see both. For some reason there are still a lot of people who like their games despite the bugs and will defend them very vocally. I understand liking what you like (even if I strongly disagree) but it never makes sense to say an obvious issue isn't an issue

A lot of the time I think they are overlooking the bugs and focusing on the game as a whole. Kind of with the mentality that once you get past the buggy husk you get the tasty kernels inside.

Fallout 3 (through Steam) was unplayable without mods for a while because Games For Windows Live was used as DRM and was shutdown years ago but if you checked the Steam reviews a significant amount of people omitted this or were fine with the game (mostly) working once you got over that hurdle.

Personally I didn't think this was unacceptable considering the GOG version worked fine but it goes to show the mentality people have.
