Are this people the worst programers of the industry ?

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 7:56 pm

How is it possible that this company keeps making damaged games with multiple glitches and a multitude of bugs ? They say that they are working allready in fallout 4 I can imagine how broken this game will also be ! me for a change wont buy this company another game unless I read reviews stating that they finally learned how to make them or stoped ripping people off.

I'm going to go with: "no, they are not the worst programmers of the industry".

There.

What, exactly, is your beef? You haven't described one single problem.

Bethesda has won top awards for their games so no, they are not.

Lets just give him what he wants, and not have another 8 page inane thread.

Yes, they are by far the worst programmers in the industry.

For a company with as much time, money, and praise as they have? Yes.

The problem may be that their customers (us) can't just refuse to pay them for the product as the Air Force can with the projects I work on (I'm a defense contractor software engineer). There are no standards they have to meet, they probably don't have a very well defined software process, etc. I may be wrong, but that is what I suspect. And the programs (games) they are writing are huge and have a number of not really well understood aspects to them (the AI, abominable as it is). So it's the sort of project that would tend to generate a lot of bugs and they probably don't have the process or discipline (or time or money) to really shake those bugs out. If they did, they might not make money on the game and it would take twice as long to create maybe. Economically, this may be their best shot at making money on the game.

And full of bugs as it is, it's actually more stable than FO3 and FONV and Oblivion on my PS3 (except curiously in the Save dialog which is worse).

I'm not enough of a gamer to know if they are unusual in the industry, but if they were working for the government they would probably never do another project for the government because they would be banned. We have our own bugs, but struggle hard to get rid of them and we're a lot more successful then Bethesda seems to be. And our software probably is about the same size (and we have a small team too). But we've been working at it for 10 years.

So I think no, they're not the worst, this game is better than previous ones, and they do need to do better in my opinion. They really need a better testing process I think, but I realize that is probably hard without the whole game getting out into the wild, but they need to find a way.

Thats why you get BETHESDA games for PC, I have had a 99.9% Bug FREE experience on the PC, They are among the BEST developers in history to me, I love The Fallouts, and TES! If you feel you can make a better game then them, Go for it, otherwise, stop complaining.

Okay so the OP is an absolute fool with no idea about anything in the world leave him with his petty nonsense while the rest of us can continue to enjoy our game made by the "worst programers of the industry"

Yes, Skyrim is the first game in history to be released with bugs. What were the developers thinking? I could write the game code in couple hours.

Very few games have come to perform at the same poor level with the same terrible general framerate that Skyrim has on my PS3. At least as far as PS3 programmers go, Bethesda really aren't doing much to help their image.
