Well, I'll absolutely be purchasing RAGE, BRINK, and the new Hunted.
I'll also be buying ES:5.
I love Bethesda games, they're the greatest game makers in the business.
Shift happens.
I may not like it, but it does.
With the level of sophistication that Bethesda brings to the gaming universe, stuff like this is bound to happen.
Nobody likes it, but we have to deal with it, and let's face it.
We're all buying the next Bethesda game.
Bethesda aren't developing Rage, Brink or the new Hunted. They are publishing those games. And none of those games are running on the Gamebryo engine, which is most probably the main cause for the issues with these games.
Bethesda/Gamebryo games maybe rich in content and story telling, but on the technical side they are pretty poor to say the least. Fallout 3 was one of my favourite games of all time, but I was relatively lucky with that game in that I saved often and encountered only issues of constant crashing... which is frustrating enough. But with crashing and a broken save in New Vegas, it's just not fun playing games that you feel could brake any second.... I mean the game stalls for a split second every time I switch weapon. The tech is just poor, and it's painful to know there is such a great game under all that dirt.
I certainly won't be buying another Bethesda game that uses the Gamebryo engine, at least not at launch.
