Bethesda have no SHAME!

Post » Thu May 17, 2012 1:40 am

I've just seen the Skyrim ad on the telly and it's made my blood boil! How are they allowed to get away with advertising a game that is clearly not what it says on the tin. It proves that Bethesda have no integrity whatsoever because if they did, why the hell would they continue to push a broken game (at least postpone the ads till a satisfactory patch is released.) Surely this is false advertising, they clearly know there are major, major issues with the game but i honestly believe that they either have no intention of fixing them or have no clue of how to do so as indicated by no acknowledgement of the continuing game destroying frame rate problems in their latest statement regarding the upcoming patch. Winner of 25 awards the ad said.........one must be winner of the most laggiest (is that a word!) game award, another for most heartbreaking game award (and not in a good way).
FHM and The Guardian are shown in the ad, giving the game 10/10, they should also be ashamed of not only initially making a grave error in their ratings but also in not re-evaluating their scores and getting their reviews taken off the ad as it surely reflects bad on them as well. Bethesdas strategy must be to ramp up the advertising campaign and con as many people as possible before word gets out, pure deceipt. Fair play to Playstation mag for giving an honest review of 7/10, they should stick that on the bloody ad!

I just saw it, I don't see a problem with it. I fully agree with what was said and I think it deserves the ratings it received.

I'm in London so i guess it's on in England and probably similar versions all over Europe. Also how can anyone in their right mind agree with the ad and honestly rate the game 10/10 as it stands. It would absolutely be a 10/10 game without the major issues but you have to knock 2 or 3 points off for a failure to deliver what was promised.....a game that works!

For some people the game does work pretty much just fine. Hard to believe for those who are running into problems, but some people haven't had any major issues with the gameplay.

No shame at all....

Seriously, at this point I give up on Bugthesda if they don't take care of Skyrim though these so-called "patches" or better yet though a recall and trade (Of course letting someone else handle it and test it properly) then I am done with this company until I see improvement which is very unlikely....Better start looking for a new game company now, a shame too Skyrim would have otherwise been an awesome game if not for the bugs and doom. Of course I will warn anyone to avoid this company's games until they start actting like a real game company and release working product not this broken crap. Ball is in your count Bethesda, what's your call?

Just waiting and seeing now, until then I shall play something playable

or better yet though a recall

You would really rather have them just recall the game than fix it?

Sorry I should have worded that better ^^;; I meant a recall and trade, I have sent in games before to trade for a better working copy when there was a game breaking bug (One mind you, Skyrim has many) I feel it will be better taken care of it done directly then though patches and it will save room on our systems as well.

I shall edit the trade part into my post
