I agree, the article makes no mention of the traditional Bethesda game-breaking bugs and glitches, busted DLC and complete lack of QA.

I'll wait for the real info regarding another reskinned yearly crapshoot from the most incompetent development studio in the industry before I get excited about buying their latest turd.

Actually scratch that, I think I'll probably have my eyes on Dark Souls 2 instead!

WrAiTh Sp3cTr34123d ago

Yeah, you're obviously one of those folks that plays Bethesda gamesbon the wrong platform.

SilentNegotiator4123d ago

@alien

I play all Bethesda games on PC, and I've noticed plenty of game breaking bugs, especially quest glitches.

SolidStoner4123d ago

Fallout.. one of my favorite games.... hope they dont screw it up... I really want fallout new vegas type gameplay, with those crazy deserts and everything, with new quests, better ending and no Skyrim type bugs...

landog4123d ago (Edited 4123d ago )

lol....people getting mad it runs awful and looks terrible on 8 year old hardware, it ain't Bethesdas fault, blame ms and sony, there should have been new consoles out in 2010 or 2011 at the latest, skyrim was expected to ship to next gen platforms...todd howard even said this in an interview, but the game was done on pc and no sign of new consoles, so the rush ported them down to ps3/360, hence it running even worse on 360/ps3 than oblivion

it was NEVER intended for 8 year old hardware!

i have played every Bethesda game since morrowind on pc, without a single game breaking bug, in flawless 1080p at 60 frames

the only things i have had happen in both skyrim and oblivion (never morrowind or fallout 3) was my avatar got stuck in a rock, but, i save every 5 min. so no big deal, reload and don't jump on that rock.

Bethesda create some of the most immerive, deep, and massive worlds around

sure, when you make something that has 6000 hours of content in it theres bound to be a bug or two, but look at the games with 5 hour single player that have bugs, and people say Bethesda games are buggy

play them on pc, they run amazing, look amazing, and at least for myself and the 20 or so people i know who play Bethesda games on pc, there is very, very little bugs

Pintheshadows4123d ago

Dear Landog,

If you are to type utter drivel please make sure it's believable, or alternatively go to a knitting website and spout your nonsense as they won't be able to call you on it. Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and especially Skyrim as is are all bug ridden on the PC much like Fallout 3. It isn't a secret.

And I sincerly doubt you know 20 people.

Sincerly,

Pintheshadows.

SephirothX214122d ago

Oh come on now! They make massive open world games where quests can be played in so many different orders that its easy for bugs to get through testing. They don't make corridor games like Gears and Uncharted where there is zero freedom. I've played the pc version and noticed very few bugs and I've played over 300 hours at this stage. Have multiple saves and you'll be fine. Bethesda are one of the best studios in the world. Just look at the average ratings for their last three games. Maybe you've never written an application so you might not understand how difficult some bugs are to find.

Tr10wn4122d ago

@Pintheshadows

I play most of the games you mention for more than 100+ hours each and never found a game breaking bug like most people which i know are playing Skyrim on PS3 said so, i played Morrowind for both XboX and PC never found a game breaking bug played Oblivion on PS3, 360 and PC and never found a game breaking bug, Fallout 3 and NV on PC and never found any game breaking bug, Skyrim on 360 and PC and once again never found a game breaking bug, all those games had bugs like every other game out there the key word is "Game Breaking Bug" i never found one, on the other hand i know Skyrim is broken on the PS3 that is why i don't believe or care for anyone who say something negative about Bethesdas in N4G.

DasTier4122d ago

@Tvensky "Skyrim type bugs". The worst glitches i've seen in a Bethesda game have been on 360 Fallout 3 (would constantly freeze at a major quest point, even restarting the game didn't help so the game was effectively broken) and New Vegas on PC which forced me to restart the game just before the battle of hoover dam. Only glitch i had with Skyrim was dragons flying backwards (was patched) and in Oblivion I fell through the floor a couple of times.

Drabent4122d ago

I think u mean Crapovision and their Lag of Duty games.

psyxon4122d ago

@jimbobwahey no. just no.

@ujean69 Bethesda didn't develop New Vegas, Obsidian did. They did release some patches for it though.

aliengmr4122d ago

@Silent

So have I. In after well over a decade of playing games on PC I'm used to bugs and glitches.

But, when Bethesda or anything related to them is mentioned whose the first to start losing it? It never fails, with in a couple posts the PS3 hive-mind unleashes hellfire.

Not sayin they don't have a reason just that its a pretty predictable occurrence.

grailly4123d ago

I sure hope so. The fallout world is by far my favorite world to be in. I do not want it at all to be cyberpunk.

Reverent4123d ago

I don't think you should immediately dismiss another universe just because you're more comfortable with a different one. You will miss out on so much that way. Especially since there are better post-apocalyptic world games than Fallout. The S.T.A.L.K.E.R games being a great example of that to come to mind.

grailly4123d ago

I love fallout's world and it's the main reason I'm exited for a sequel. If I wanted another universe I would play another franchise.

I'll be happy to play other cyberpunk games, cyberpunk 2077 for instance. I just want my gritty, empty, no-electricity fallout

there are more reasons to me loving the fallout world than it being post-apocalyptic. I love the humor and the lore, discovering vaults is exiting and often funny to see how the people lived.

Reverent4123d ago (Edited 4123d ago )

Don't get me wrong, I completely agree with you. I just don't think you should limit yourself to "just" Fallout lol. I too love Fallout but there are still games that do that "gritty, empty, no-electricity" concept better. Honestly, Fallout has never given me that impression. Fallout is full of colorful characters with great personality, and this makes the games feel far from lonely. For me, I don't feel much like I'm being forced to survive and scavenge when playing Fallout games (Like I did in the stalker games). Again, don't get me wrong, because I don't consider this a bad thing at all. I have a ton of fun with Fallout; I just think there could be a slightly better emphasis on the "post-apocalyptic" part of the game.

grailly4122d ago

I don't think you get what I'm saying. I like fallout how it is. It strikes the right balance for ME. I don't care if STALKER has post-apocalyptic better, it doesn't have the humor. I don't care if I don't need to scavenge, it's not what I want.

I love the music playing, while you do the most horrible and funny choices.Cyberpunk would take that away as it's a retro-future from the 80s, you would get 80 music, I I just like that 50s music.

Anyway, I'm not sure about these rumors, it can't be a direct sequel and a direct sequel at the same time.

I don't limit myself to fallout, but when it comes to fallout it's the fallout experience that I want!

Yeah everyone listen to claud3 he is an industry insider with realtime information updates on the inner circle of Bethesda games. Whatever he says is the truth.

elhebbo164123d ago (Edited 4123d ago )

well its a rumor. for all we know they could do any city in the east coast, or west for that matter.

edit: didn't read about bethesda taking pics in boston.. now im excited.

Blacklash934123d ago

Color me excite. Loved Fallout 3. The depressing atmosphere, strangely haunting music, and bleak scenery were all incredible and what I loved the most from it.

grailly4123d ago

yep, and that's all gone if the go cyberpunk...

Sidewinder-4123d ago

"Bethesda has no plans to reinvent the leveling up system to make it more like Skyrim."

"Bethesda is thinking about introducing a system, similar to Skyrim,"

Okay?...

joab7774123d ago

It makes sense and the rumors have been around concerning the institute for awhile. Anyway, I want more of a true rpg than skyrim. I hate that u can level up every skill with a particular class. But the difficulty is much better in fallout, so there's that.

Fallout 4's 'next gen' update is over 14 gigs, breaks modded saves, & doesn't change much at all

We were expecting problems with mod support, but there are a lot of other issues.

isarai1d 6h ago

Wow what the actual hell 🤣🤣🤣

just_looken1d 6h ago

This is why you get the GOG version on gog you can select the version of the game to download.

On pc fallout 4 fallout new vegas and skyrim are all broken on steam because they all got the same "next gen" update.

Skyrim dec 2023
https://www.pcgamer.com/sky...

Can not find new vegas but anyone that modded it knows the script extender there was also broken

GamerRN4h ago

The amount of shade that gets thrown at Microsoft! This is a free next Gen upgrade that bumps up visuals quite a bit, and it's free! Not $10 like some companies...

Jesus, it's getting thick in here...

Valkyrye1d 4h ago

Not accidental, they want modders to stop modding their older games to force them to mod Shitfield.

just_looken1d 3h ago

There doing the same on starfield with a mods store and blocking mods

There goal is like blizzard and what they did with fallout 76 you make mods they can sell and you become a slave.

On skyrim they have "trusted" mod devs now basically a badge that lets your mod on the store you get a crumb of the sale when someone buys it.

GamerRN11h ago

The mods aren't broken, just modded saves

Michiel198910h ago

@gamerRN shhhh don't tell them, if you do they can't mindlessly hate a company when they're so uninformed anymore

MaximusTKG9h ago

My modded save is working fine. Perhaps it’s not a blanket issue.

Inverno1d 1h ago

lol to the disagrees, the last Skyrim update broke mods too. They've been trying to kill mods to monetize them in creation club for years, it's not a stretch that they purposely put out patches just to break free mods.

porkChop1d ago

The disagrees are from people who have common sense. They aren't trying to kill mods. Most mods for any game will break with a new update because they rely on files/code that have been changed. This isn't new. Even with Bethesda this would happen way before the creation club. Mod support is literally one of the things that got Bethesda to where they are, and they're one of the only devs that releases comprehensive mod tools for each of their games.

Sirch14h ago

This is business 101.

These are massive companies who are here to make money, not please us gamers. They will charge whatever the market will bare, and will monetize everything they can until gamers stop buying.

People need to wake up and smell the capitalism that has come to gaming. They aren’t here for us any more, they are here for their profits.

just_looken4h ago

Thank you inverno it seems even after starfield there are still thousands that will do anything todd says and gives free blowjobs to team B.

Anyone with a working brain and a pc knows the on going war that is modding fallout/skyrim there dam paid mod store along with forced updates has done more harm than good.

For those that are like but update break mods all the time have never modded a unreal/unity game it takes a large update to break those games were as a simple 30-100mb skyrim updates kills the game except those paid mods.

But fallout 76 has a high player count and is considered by many of the new "gamers" a GOAT game so that says it all.

Armaggedon5h ago

Why do we keep bringing starfield into this. Purge the wrongful hate from yourself

just_looken4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

Because it still has the same framerate as fallout 3 on a xbox 360 with the same resolution 6 months later we still have only gotten a photo mode and every update there has been killing all mods but a paid mod store is on the horizon.

Fix starfield? na fuck that take this $40 blue skin mod bitch

If you read before the game was live you would see that said before and after official mod support on the way you can make your own planet but like i said 6 months later nothing has been added.

Starfield the biggest budget biggest team but smallest amount of content the most censorship the most control over the community including auto steam review reply with auto delete and exclusive to windows os with the same performance of 2005 hardware.

Armaggedon3h ago

There are plenty of articles and videos for you to go and be wrathful towards starfield… but this one aint it. This is a fallout 4 article.😂

Chocoburger1d 1h ago

Over 14 GBs and doesn't change much at all? What? Taking up that much drive space for a pathetic 'remastering' is shameful.

Par for Bethesda.

Aussiesummer1d ago

It's not a remaster, it's a next gen update.

GamerRN11h ago

It actually bumps the settings up to ultra, 1440p 60fps. Added some new content. And it's free. That's a great upgrade to me...

badz14923h ago

LOL people are actually expecting massive improvements or something? From Bethesda?? the same people who released Skyrim multiple times and the all look like shit? THAT Bethesda? are people for real?

Profchaos23h ago(Edited 23h ago)

The ps5 version doesn't change a ton but from my small playtime it's enough to make me want to replay it just to have it running at 60.

A side note to this my PS4 version no longer boots after it's "update" so I guess that's what it feels like to own a Bethesda game on PC

1nsomniac10h ago

My ps4 version boots fine after the update. It flashed up some long message about the ps5 version when I got in to the game menu but as soon as it appeared the message disappeared so I couldn’t read it. But the game loaded in and I was able to play.

just_looken4h ago

Its a psplus deal with licenses they already went opps we hit wrong button we sorry.

Bethesda Looking Into PlayStation Plus Subscribers Not Being Able to Upgrade Fallout 4

Bethesda Customer Support Manager confirmed they're looking into Fallout 4 not being offered to those who redeemed via PlayStation Plus for free.

Why would anyone downvote this? Don't be silly. This is great news. Thanks for sharing, darthv72.

MWeaver5891d 5h ago

I think it's because the main question for many was whether or not the PlayStation Plus Collection version would support the upgrade. To me it seems obvious the PlayStation Plus Extra version would, though it is nice to see confirmation it will.

That said, Bethesda highlighting the PlayStation Plus Extra version low-key confirms they do not plan on upgrading the other version given to players. Naturally some people are pissed, as even the in-game phrasing says "free for all players."

VenomUK1d 4h ago

@MWeaver589 Exactly this point, it was advertised as free for everyone.

VincentVanBro1d 3h ago (Edited 1d 3h ago )

It’s just a lame solution to the problem, even if it is a solution. The comment shouldn’t be downvoted though.

Christopher1d 3h ago

I mean, it's at least something. It's 'good' news compared to the alternative. Not darth's fault even.

Also, I highly believe this will get fixed. PR nightmare if they don't since the PS store doesn't differentiate/have different text for those with or without the PS+/PS Collection version.

Even though I claimed the PS Plus version, I still have my physical GOTY PS4 edition and was able to get my PS5 upgrade a little earlier today. Physical media FTW lol. Hopefully it won't be too long before the PS Plus owners also get to upgrade their copies.

JackBNimble1d 4h ago

My digital version works just fine , what's your point?

raWfodog1d 4h ago

My point is that even though I claimed the digital version via my PS+ Essential sub, I was still able to upgrade to the PS5 version using my PS4 GOTY physical version that I bought years ago. Otherwise I would have had to wait for the fix to be released, however long that will take. Isn’t that what the article was about?

JackBNimble22h ago(Edited 22h ago)

No, you claimed an upgrade that everyone with the physical or digital license can other then ps+ extra .
And what you hold is nothing more then a physical license.

And the article is talking about people with ps+extra who didn't own the game previously to it going on ps+ .

I bought the game years ago to ... digitally, my whole point was to your statement " physical media Ftw" . So what does physical have to do with anything?

raWfodog3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

Dude, the comment about physical ftw was supposed to be funny. Did you miss the ‘lol’ after it? That was an issue specific to my case and wasn’t meant to be taken as a stance on physical vs digital. The problem with these forums is that everyone takes everything too seriously lol.

FYI I have bought more digital games than physical over the past five years so I’m good with either format.

k2d17h ago

Should have looked into the 75% deal before the update, but I just assumed I owned it. Thankfully I found the physical disc, ha...

raWfodog3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

But wait! Listen to the dude who also commented above. You can’t be thankful that you found the physical because you don’t actually own it LOL, and you can’t be thankful that you didn’t have to wait for them to fix the issue with the PS+ version. So what was your point? 🤣😁

blacktiger1d 1h ago

I expect this and also no releasing on next ps console. Pretty simple. Please don't be suprise

purple10115h ago(Edited 15h ago)

More like not releasing on next Xbox, all games sell better on ps due to 1 more consoles in the wild, &, 2 ps players buy more games. The fallout games take a long time to make I assume, probably want to make a good profit on that development time

Literally yesterday “Chairman And CEO Microsoft Satya Nadella:

"We committed to meeting players where they are by brining great games to more people on more devices."

anast9h ago

They don't need to. They have shill game writers trying to point people to the $35 version...yeah, let that sink in.
