Bethesday / Obsidian You'Ve Screwed Up Bad

Post » Sat Feb 19, 2011 3:16 am

I consider myself a pretty savvy gamer. I've been playing since I was young back in the 80's when the Nintendo first came out. I've never had this kind of experience ever. Hundreds if not thousands of games in, not once have I put so many hours into a game to then lose everything. This is ridiculous.

What's even more upsetting is the treatment that we're getting. I'm not some 10 year old kid anymore that has the time to just drop the game, pick up another one, and then come back to the game later. I'm a freaking advlt that chooses my game purchases carefully. To me they are investments, and Bethesda you should count yourself lucky that I choose to consume your games. You make good games, there's no way around it. It's likely you've made some of the best games ever for the 360.

With all that said you have most certainly lost my business and that of many of my gaming friends, and I have many. Furthermore, I'll be sure to let as many other gamers I know to never purchase another one of your products. Going back to the investment anology, I would not continue investing in a company that lies to it's shareholders and treats them like 10 year old's. Now you could have kept my business if you would get back to us more often and if you would apologize. It's the same as if a business would recognize it's mistake and inform it's shareholders. That's a company I might consider investing in again.

You've done everything wrong. You haven't acknowledged the issues, instead you announce new content that has to be purchased. Everyone on these boards is screaming bloody murder and you are no where to be seen or heard. Whoever is running your PR campaign, or handling your marketing, is doing a really bad job.

I'm disgusted and again, you can be sure I will not be buying your products ever again. I will not be getting the DLC, and you can be 100% sure that I will only have extremely bad things to say about you. My children who are young gamers themselves already know not to even consider buying a Bethesda game, and they're at school spreading the news. The sad thing about that, is that they're not old enough to play your games yet (by my standards). But they'll know your brand, and you can be sure as they grow, they'll ignore your games.

There are several active threads complaining about FONV's bugs in this forum right now. You're welcome to repost this in one of those but we don't want the forum to be inundated with individual complaint threads as it makes it very difficult to sort out the bug reports.

Obsidian and Bethesda have acknowledges all of the major bugs as far as I can see, such as in http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1125221-please-read-from-the-teams-at-obsidian-and-bethesda/ they specifically point out the DLC and save corruption problems:

On consoles, we are aware that a small group of 360 users are seeing a DLC warning which is preventing you from loading save games. We are absolutely looking into this bug now, along with other reports of save game corruption. It is our highest priority right now that we find out what is causing it. In the meantime, we recommend you save often, and revert to an older save if this occurs.

Gstaff and Nick, the community managers, have continued to keep tabs on the hardware forums but at the moment there is no ETA for the patch. We were told a few weeks so hopefully it will be out soon. No there aren't dev comments in every bug thread but the community managers and QA are here reviewing the bug reports and working on fixes - if they spent all of their time responding to these threads it would take even longer to finish the patch.
