From Software creative director Hidetaka Miyazaki apologizes for "technical difficulties" in last year's role-playing game, says not sure if studio will make another title in universe.

God bless, From Software. Not only do they acknowledge the bugs, they apologize for them and say that their mere existence is unacceptable. I hope that they maintain face and put out another one. Demon's Souls and Dark Souls were both fantastic games with nowhere near as many bugs as the Fallout series.

Have no clue. Fallout 3, Fallout 3 DLC, and FNV were.

I should probably preemptively add:

Here we go again.






For mat:

Spoiler:

fallout 3 worked just fine for me, thanks. all 3 playthroughs were silky smooth.

the dlc was a mess, but that's it.

this is for being wrong about f3 --->

:groan:

I love the Fallout series (and by series, I mean the two I played plus the DLC). It's a testament to the story and world they created that I persevered and continued playing despite the bugs. The games are enormous, and many bugs can be forgiven. But they both had lots for me. LOTS! FNV was by far the worst offender of them all. The bugs in that game turned it into a chore to finish. By the end, I was mad at myself for continuing to play. The bugs turned what could have been another masterpiece into a sluggish nightmare.

I loved Skyrim. It also was a buggy mess unless you started playing after, or very soon before, the patch. It was all tied to the size of the save file- which Bethesda admitted. I played this game to the fullest also, despite the bugginess, because it was a good story and a lot of fun. Turning off autosave and patching helped tremendously. Still had some lag, had at least two broken word walls, two broken quests, and some weird stuff happening.

I'm not an apologist, though. The three games above contained more bugs than any other games I've played combined. That's saying something.

I've experienced lags in online games...but that's a horse of a different color. Playing online with some dude in Lesotho presents its own hosts of difficulties.

I also realize that different people have different experiences. Lady Luck shines her light on your patch of Ohio, while the gaming gods use my house for their latrine.

I really don't get my panties in a wad over it. The only developer I've ever had steam come out of my ears for is Bethesda. Mainly for their apparent lack of concern for their customers. At least their PS3 customers.

I still love you, mat.

Bethesda engines suck*

*unless on PC

Guess someone peed in your cornflakes this morning, matty. No one can ever point out the flaws in your precious video games. I swear to everything holy that Bethesda pays you a commission for every negative post you respond to saying that they sh!t gold and put it in a plastic wrapper.

It's getting old. We get it. Video games work flawlessly for you and we're all delusional when we say something's broken.

Give me a fuhking break.

Next thing you know you'll be saying how Star Wars Episode I was a cinematic masterpiece.

They were broken.

Spend enough time and touch enough things in the game and it's plain for anyone to see. Once the file gets to 12MB+, it's all she wrote.

I love From Software. 3D Dot Game Heroes is also an awesome game. Play it, Toad!!!

Frank and Matt need to get a private huddle going

whatever toad...

I realize that it could cause some people great pain here to not be able to use derogatory language when referring to the developers, so those folks may not want to look for fear of coming across as a 'jackass' or an 'idiot.'

I guess when you pay $60 for a game and it doesnt work you shouild just bend over and take it.

Try again, guy.
