The statements that you've made that are bolded really intrigue me. You have absolutely no evidence to suggest that this is the case. Your notion that the majority of Skyrim players are not having any prblems comes strictly from your own head.

The poll I've linked below for the PS3 version shows that, in a survey of over 26 thousand players, more than 75% had problems with the game. And this poll was only about lag. It didn't even get into broken quests and the myriad of other glitches that people are dealing with. I'd say the majority is clearly on the other side. I haven't found a survey specific to the 360 version post-patch 1.2 but I'm guessing the numbers would be quite similar.

http://ps3.ign.com/articles/121/1213194p1.html

if as many people as you say had problems then forum would be more full of people not the same few bringing up the same issue we already know about, thats not in my head thats in front of me.
most people are smart enough to see there might be issue and either carry on playing as most are untill the fix comes out, or play something else if they are that worried about it.

your poll might mean something if it actualy showed who really owned the game as it is, anyone with dummy accounts could vote yes or no on it.

or since we are on the 360 Hardware and Software forums, a poll of 360 issues

i did change my post, but i dont agree with any poll if it is not tied to some proof they even own the game, for or against.

Grilling a steak is not the same as programming complex code.

Its also just easier to find someone to blame (Bethesda) when issues arise even though it may have been out of their control to see. Its very possible the game checked ok and that quite simply at the time the code was good to go. You can only speculate and assume what happened durig the development process and because you feel slighted in the whole ordeal it makes you feel better to lay complete blame on the Company for the issues. Maybe Im just a bit more understanding that issues happen.

It doesn't matter how difficult or how easy something is to do. My point was that customers don't want to hear "I'm sorry, but my job is really hard." as an excuse. If you're selling it, and making money off of it, it really ought to, you know.... work. You can say what you will, but the finished product speaks for itself. Every other thread in the general discussion forum seems to be pertaining to bugs and not just trivial ones. A large of number of them falling into the "How they hell did they not notice this?" category. Yes, many thousands of gamers are going to find more bugs that would slip past a small team of bug-testers. I get that. But this game was was released in a sad state, and it shouldn't have been released on PS3 at all judging by the sounds of things.




"Find someone to blame?" Who else are we meant to blame, if not Bethesda? Justin Bieber?

Of course Bethesda is responsible. I say "responsible" because there's a difference between "blame" and "responsibility." It doesn't matter what happened behind the scenes. As I've said, the finished product speaks for itself. At the end of the day, they're responsible for putting out an incomplete/broken product.

Besides a few minor issues the finished product was fine.

-Post bugs that you know of, please make sure they aren't already in the list (USE CTRL+F)
-Remember that you may not always encounter a bug sometimes it just depends on the circumstances leading up to it
-It is a bug for quest items to remain BUT they actually don't weigh anything

intrestinging poll for some but since i base my game on what my own version is doing it dont mean much.

You're clearly a Bethesda-can-do-no-wrong cheerleader if you're actually making this claim. "A few minor issues." Funny.

Here's your "few minor issues"

Now considering the fact that this is Bethesda's own forum which they designed for people to report and discuss technical issues, what on Earth are you doing in here? You aren't helping anyone with their problems and you don't even have any problems (with the game) of your own. You're just here to tell people to stop complaining? Do yourself a favor and just go play your (working) copy of the game and have fun. Let the people in here do what they feel they must do to try to get their game working ASAP.

Besides a few minor issues the finished product was fine. Patch 1.2 isnt part of the finished product that seems to have borked alot of PS3 users. But its not an issue that affects everyone either. Im still pretty certain that issues that are happening are in the minority.

How many of those were prepatches?

Give it up, no matter how much you love Bethesda and believe they can do no wrong, there are plenty of people who's experience has taught them otherwise. I highly doubt you are going to convince the MANY who have had issues with Skyrim that Bethesda are all about customer service, hugs and happiness.

It's great for you that your experience has been fun, not everyone has been as lucky...

It is what it is, blame Bethesda if you must, hell blame Sony/Microsoft for letting the patches go live. Blame whoever makes you feel better. The simple fact is blaming people is not gonna fix diddly. I reported this post so hopefully a mod will close it

There are probably somewhere near 4-5 million copies floating around. Lets say for instance we get a figure that sounds reasonable, the PS3 poll had around 50K votes, these boards have several hundred or so for each platform, and say around 100-300K people are having issues. Thats vastly a small number that are having issues. Even if these numbers are off, I doubt its no more than 25% of the amount of copies sold of people having issues.

Granted I will say its unfortunate not everyone can play Skyrim to its fullest but they are working on hashing out all the major stuff within the coming weeks. I still think even with low res textures it looks better than Oblivion but thats just me.

No. Just no. In actuality, every poll that's out there on the game indicates that the majority of people who have purchased it, are experiencing problems. Your 25% estimate has no basis in reality whatsoever. There is not a single poll or measure that has even indicated that half of the players are not having issues.

And the polls are of no real indication either as its only pertains to those that VOTED. Just like this forum isnt a good sampling of how many are affected neither are polls as most that are not having issues will not bother with polls. That poll had a minority of people reporting in with no issues. It does not mean that majority of the people are having issues

/agreed

i got no respect for people on a forum who hide behind names ........

.... its why i only use my proper xbox name
