Patch 1.4! 82 Days Late

This is how the game should have launched on 11/11/11. Also, Bethesda you missed your January deadline you put out. BTW, where is the creation kit that was supposed to come with this patch? I'll be heavily weighing whether or not I will be purchasing any of your future titles. I know now I have to wait 3-6 months for your games to get out of beta testing. Get your house in order. This type of quality might have been acceptable in 1998 but this is 2012. No other publisher in the industry would dare sell such unfinished products to their customers.

I don't understand you. First you complain that the products should be released now and then you complain that the products are released unfinished. Let them take their time with it and release it when it's done not before.

Except other companies don't have games with this much freedom. This open world aspect is creating the bugs and they would need years to test and find every single one of them

I'm confused by this thread as well. In the past, console games HAD to be polished and DONE because there was no updating a DVD once released. That has changed over time and there isn't the same kind of pressure to release a game that does not require patches. Furthermore, with devices that can receive updates, I would assume they would rather have games that are released somewhat buggy so that those without pirated copies can get the patches as soon as they are released (granted, it is a lame idea but I can see number crunchers seeing this as a positive for them).

 

Anyways, I don't think they ever said the CK would release "with" patch 1.4, but "soon after" according to their latest blog.

 

I still think this game is well worth the $$ even without any patches (actually, I'd rather have wanted the option to NOT have any patches up through 1.3). lol.

 

EDIT: Just finished downloading ~190 MB of something...must have been patch 1.4.

Good responses so far.

 

As I've said before, I don't much like all the negative hype against Beth these days and what's become an urban legend now about Beth always releasing buggy games. Even new players are saying this, as if, just because they've heard it.

 

I'm new to Beth and from my own playing experience with other games from other devs and now Skyrim, I don't see the warrant for this. Like every other game it has bugs and patches as expected. No more than a game like this should. Delays are nothing new either.

 

The old timers to Beth who complain sound like elite gaming snobs to me. Often "bugs" are just disliked game aspects or non-support for HD mods or even bugs while using mods.

 

The worst is hearing complaints about delays for the CK. You know how many games get a CK at all? You're getting a freak'n CK, yo!, and a very slick looking one at that.

 

Also, if Beth was known for buggy releases, who was the fool for buying on launch instead of waiting for patches?

This is entirely short-sighted. The world is the easy part, provided you give your creators the tools to build it. Therein lies the problem.

 

The engine Beth are using is well over a decade old running on a platform (32bit) that's well over 30 years old.

 

Skyrim should have been 64bit from the word go and the *vast* majority of the reasearch and development poured into the creation tools. Beth *always* do this backwards and this is why we get results like this from Beth.
