xaliqen Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Let me put it another way, if they made Skyrim this demanding, Xbox 360s and PS3s around the world would violently explode as soon as your hand holding the disc extended towards the loading tray. FWIW, I have all three consoles from this generation and enjoy them. So I'm not a PC-only person by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimboUK Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 No. Bethesda have an excellent track record in PC gaming. Console hardware is ancient by today's standards, so there's no way it's going to run better on consoles. Unless you're running on a non-gaming laptop or haven't upgraded your computer in years, the game will run fine. http://img831.imageshack.us/img831/424/954notsureifserious.jpg Every game they've made or published on the PC has been broken in some way, they've freely admitted they've had problems. I'm slightly concerned about their auto patching thing, I can see that causing problems with mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm slightly concerned about their auto patching thing, I can see that causing problems with mods. Multi-platform titles are always going to have issues, and we live in a multi-platform reality at the moment. Bethesda goes out of their way to support the PC gaming community, and it's impossible to please everyone. So, yes, given the realities of the market, I think Bethesda's record in PC gaming is excellent. If every large developer had Bethesda's attitude towards multi-platform development, then PC gaming would be in an entirely different, and better, place IMHO.

Bethesda are far from being the only multi platform developer and yet no one else has the problems they do, it's not just one title, it's been all of them. Bethesda has a terrible reputation for buggy games, one that Todd Howard acknowledges. http://theskyrimblog.com/?p=1114 “It’s a known issue and a very valid complaint,” he said. Before launch, Howard said, Bethesda is testing Skyrim rigorously and more heavily using a system that runs automated versions of the game overnight, searching for bugs and helping the team squash them. “We’re getting better at it,” Howard said.

Deleted1572091User Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 You don't think that has anything to do with the fact that they make huge open world games? Granted, there are other sandbox games on the PC for sure that don't have the same level of buggyness (GTA - GTA4, Just Cause 2, Mafia II...). But it may be that open world RPGs are just more bug prone. I haven't played any other ones, but from what I hear, games like Two Worlds and Gothic are even worse than TES. I'm fairly certain if Bethesda were in the business of making linear games, they wouldn't have a reputation of making bugged games. But that's just my perspective; I could be dead wrong I suppose.

I'm not sure why people feel they have to make excuses for a problem Bethesda freely admit to, their quality control has been virtually non existent and it's shown in their games. It'll be interesting to see if the new measures they've put in place improve matters, it's good so see they are finally addressing the problem.
