The 1.6 Eulogy

Post » Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:37 pm

The team at Bethesda Game Studios is excited to announce another new feature making its way into Skyrim… Mounted Combat! Like the recently added Kinect support (360) and new kill cameras, this highly-requested feature that was seen in the http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=7awkYKbKHik#t=1232s is arriving for free. In fact, by opting into the latest Steam Beta Update, PC users can check out the feature today. As far as release on other platforms, we’ll let you know when we have more information.
"""
And for the PS3 users, eff off ok? Because you're not worth our consideration.
"""

Thanks again to all our fans, we remain committed to supporting the game through our free updates, mod tools, and more.
"""
Except for the PS3 users, you guys can make pies with your coasters and die in a fire for all we care.

Thanks for the greenbacks though, I bought those Natural Weave™ lycra biking shorts I always wanted.

(Todd will notice me now)

...sigh...
"""

And yes, we’re still working on our first add-on, Dawnguard – some great stuff to show soon, stay tuned!
Read the current 1.6 release notes below…

1.6 Update (all platforms unless specified)

By that did you mean, definitely never coming to the PS3. There is nothing about a pointless delay for one platform in these notes.. did I miss sth in here?

NEW FEATURES
  • Mounted Combat - Skyrim now allows you to do melee and ranged combat while riding a horse
BUG FIXES
  • General stability and memory optimizations
  • General AI pathfinding optimizations and bug fixes
  • Optimizations and crash fixes for data leaks
  • Fixed rare crash with lighting
  • Fixed crashes related to loading and saving games
  • Fixed crash with summoned creatures/NPCs
  • Fixed rare issue where saves would be corrupted
  • Improved logic for when ranged kill cams are played
  • Fixed issue with ranged kill cams while killing a dragon
  • Fixed rare issue with certain ranged kill cams not playing properly
  • Fixed issue with nirnroot lighting not properly cleaning up
  • Fixed issue where bow damage was being calculated incorrectly
  • Fixed rare problem with werewolf kill moves would not finish animating properly
  • In "The Break of Dawn" fixed rare issue where Meridia's Beacon would disappear from player's inventory
  • Fixed occasional issue where followers would disappear after player pays off a bounty after committing a crime
  • Fixed issue where certain creatures and NPCs would fail to respawn properly
  • Fixed rare issue with dialogue subtitles not displaying properly
  • Fixed issue with water appearing blurry when loading a saved game after creating a save underwater

This is very interesting to me...
  • Fixed issue where map cursor would occasionally disappear after closing a message box with Kinect enabled (Xbox 360)
  • Fixed rare issue with shouts only performing the first level and not other unlocked levels with Kinect enabled (Xbox 360)
  • Fixed issue where the shout buttons would stop working properly if users mashed LB and RB during cooldown with Kinect enabled (Xbox 360)
Here, a single platform got not only an entire extra patch already, but they focused time patching the patch!

NPC schedules? Nope.

Bald vampires? Nope.

PS3 missed inputs events? Nope.

Fix the `Prisoner` save overwrite? Nope.

Fix decorating homes? Nope.

Fix the PS3 patch installing issue? Nope.

...I could go on, but you get the idea. You can seemingly spend limitless resources for the xbox, but cant be bothered to fix multiplatform bugs?

Look, we are now approaching two months of blatant disrespect and maltreatment. This patch should be released for every paying customer. Should we add another note to the list?

  • Fixed rare issue where customer thought we cared (PS3)
  • Fixed issue where after 1.4 insufficient nerd rage was induced by our piss poor effort (PS3)

You said it yourself, http://www.gamesas.com/user/365941-gstaff/, this applies to all platforms unless specified.

So please tell us why it doesn't apply to our product.

I love skyrim. But Bethesda is becoming a different story.
