Confusing basic concept

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 10:33 am

First sorry for my poor english.
Do not you think it's unfair for us that bathesda give us a game broken and that the community has to repair it (for free) in order to have a complete product?
That is, we're not talking about a single bug in a quest, or an ability, for example. We are talking about the game is incomplete.
I am outraged to think that bethesda give us an incomplete product, then the community must fix it, and thus save money on development.
"Textures of poor quality? No matter soon some modder will offer a package that solves it" and bathestda is free, however, the game cost $ 60.

In less than a week, the community was able to solve or at least try to make the game playable .. I ask myself, could not bethesda in 5 years of development do this for us so we spent our time just to enjoy the game?
Why do I have to work as a modder or a user arranging a product for which you paid.

I think it is confusing basic concept.
and is that a thing is to change a game just for the pleasure and the other is modified to work correctly, and I think maybe bethesda be abusing this.

Just seems an abuse and disrespect to their customers.

Good bye!

The game isn't "unplayable". Are you serious? BGS do what they can given that they have to develop for two ancient platforms. The modders improve it of course, but if you seriously think that BGS release incomplete games then your standards are impossibly high.

Everything looks basic when you don't know enough to see how complicated it really is.

I had no problem with the vanilla game - but go ahead and make a game on the same level as Skyrim and totally bug-free that will satisfy everybody.

It's a clever plan, they do this so they can see who the best programmers are out there so they can hire them before other game developers.

Did you even read the thread? They specifically stated that they weren't talking about bugs.

If Bethesda do release "broken" games and rely on community to "repair" them, then I'll support this thread.

But fortunately, Bethesda do release complete games. And the community are actually adding their own fantasy into the game (to their own benefit/pleasing). Not necessarily fixing.


Good bye!
Take care. :)

The only concrete complaint I could find in that OP was 'textures of poor quality'.

While I've seen a couple of textures that were pretty blurred, that doesn't exactly strike me as unplayable... it's a minor cosmetic detail. Ignore the few bad textures, play the game, you might like it... personally I think it's fantastic.

If you don't like Bethesda-style games in general (open-world action RPGs), you probably won't like it no matter how good the textures are!

Ok, maybe the game its playable, but you are PC GAMMERS?
i mean,, visit this links http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/forum/180-pc/

And then you should understand why im saying that the game is incomplete.
Its like buy a house,, you pay very expensivefor it, so you want a complete and good one,, but when you go in,, you look that the house dont have a floor!, and there are no glasses in the windows,,, only papers,, but,, yes of course ..you can live in there,,

while,, i must finish whith my hands the house that i paid.

again sorry for my english

Skyrim is not only perfectly playable on the PC, but awesome. Yeah, the UI has issues and for the couple that are true bugs (eg. menu key bindings not matching the legond after reminds) Bethesda should have provided documentation. However, it's addictive, oddly more stable than their old games, and mods will probably add things none of us have even thought of yet. All is well.

What's with gamers who obsess over texture resolution? There are games from the 90s with terrible texture resolution that look pretty good and there are newer games that don't look good despite having 50 times as many pixels in the textures. The key is good design and skill in using what's available. Skyrim looks really good despite a few of the textures looking pretty rough.

Skyrim also has things I don't recall anybody anticipating. Rivers are fun! Shooting bandits off high places was already fun. Now when they land in a river there's a chance you will never find the body unless you chase it off a waterfall right away. Maybe we need a canoeing mod... :D
