This buggy mess is a buggy mess even by Bugthesda standards.

Almost everything Bethesda has put out has been a boring and buggy mess. The exceptions are things handled by other studios, like Obsidian. Their games, on paper, are amazing, but the finished product is always just shite. It's cool that the modders can do so much with the game, but it's kind of a crock though somewhat hilariously admirable that a company has been able to outsource a lot of the work in making a compelling game out to their own customers. Can't mod a pseudo-MMO though, so disregarding bugs this is destined to permanently be a boring mess.

I would say that the reason is is because Bethesda is re-writing the engine to modernize it and not make it look like shit, but it turns out they aren't. They're just adding more lipstick to this pig. I think it's safe to say that Bethesda's relevance is finally starting to wane. That's fine, there's better studios out there.

The most infuriating attitude of gamers, one that makes me wish I could slap some sense into people via standard TCP/IP connection, is the "I haven't had the problem you describe, therefore it does not exist" attitude of the most obnoxious fanboys.
The words "shill" and "drone" were invented just for them.

I especially hate it when they use it to dismiss someone's opinion on a video game, saying they didn't have a problem with it and the person should stop whining (I saw this when someone criticized the new God of War's camera for being too close).

More on topic, it's disturbing to me that this many people are so willing to forgive Bethesda for giving them a shitty product. I can't think of any other medium where people will just forgive and forget the major companies fucking them in the ass outside of the really autistic movie fanbases.

Reddit loves to strawman every idea they disagree with as incel, but it's kids with all the time in the world who can sort out Bethesda's bullshit, not adults. When you're blasted with responsibility the absolute last thing you want is some fucking 2GB patch every time you boot up or sleuth google for bug workarounds. The guy just has terrible Reddit taste.

Ain't that the truth? I saw a meme post about this game being shit on by rightfully everyone and you have a bunch of fanboys trying to say that people have no right to judge the game because they haven't played it (which only works if the game DOES NOT delete itself) OR that Bethesda will fix it somehow. When are people going to learn that this is a culmination of their major fuck-ups and that they won't listen. They're using the same engine for the next game. Now's the time to wake up and realize they aren't going to give you what you want.

There's a fine line between wanting to have faith and completely ignoring what's happening in front of you.

They're gonna pin Trump on this one way or the other.

Hey! This is how we can get reddit to boycott this shit! Just say that some Trump guy was involved. They don't even have to be related, the second they hear "Trump" their Manchurian candidate programming is activated and they start shrieking and raising their fists up in the air and stuff.

Videogames (or media in general) have fostered the kind of brand loyalty that usually is only found in political zealotry.
Gamers will tear each other apart over which console has the better exclusives instead of demanding games being ported to all systems.
Gamers will forgive and forget being used like piggy banks from uncaring, outright abusive companies.
Gamers have pity with multibillion dollar companies, blissfully unaware that the people they hold in such high regards (ie: The CEOs) are effectively treating the ones doing the actual work like braindead slaves.

And now, like a hundred times before, we have idiots willing to blindly lap up the shit, cause god beware Bethesda might go tits up and stop making horrible video games. Apparently, it's more important to keep the brand of the company alive than to have actually well made games.

Video games and autism are a very potent mix.
