adjl posted...helIy posted...it's really not Bethesdas issue if you're unable to get the patch to play your online-only game, though. Which is why I added the edit about reasonable expectations. It is an online game. It's going to use some bandwidth just to play, and you're going to have to download patches. That's a given, and nobody can really complain about that. A 56 GB patch a week after the game launched, however, is a whole lot more than anyone can be expected to predict. --- This is my signature.

You know, a lot of this would have resolved if Bethesda just called Fallout 76 an early access game. Yea, that has a negative connotation as well, but at least people know when you buy an early access game that you are getting an unfinished product with the assumption that it will be finished in the future.

A scummy lawyer was trolling youtube and saw neckbearded reviewers throwing tantrums over the game and is trying to make a buck.
Lemme tell you something; there is very little legal standing for this "case". You have a datacap? Not Betheda's problem. You encountering glitches in a game that they openly stated would have issues? Buyer's remorse isn't a valid reason. Any other shallow arguement? Not Bethesda's problem. If you can't stand this "injustice"?

A scummy lawyer was trolling youtube and saw neckbearded reviewers throwing tantrums over the game and is trying to make a buck. In all honesty, the lawsuit probably won't succeed, you're right. A very important distinction needs to made here between "Bethesda will lose this lawsuit" and "Bethesda deserves to lose this lawsuit and/or face major backlash for this." The former ignores that US law tends to be very pro-corporation and Bethesda has done everything they can to avoid having to take legal responsibility for the quality of their product, which is just unrealistic. The latter is a statement based on the fact that Bethesda sold a rushed, barely-playable game and tried to fix it with a patch so large that many players won't be able to download it for another month (if ever), and are refusing to issue refunds to people who have a problem with that. That's not only realistic, but arguably the only reasonable response. People are quick to dismiss these complaints as "you should have known better than to buy a Bethesda game at launch," but that attitude completely absolves Bethesda of any accountability for making the unplayable game in the first place. The unplayable state of Fallout 76 is entirely Bethesda's fault, and holding them accountable for that is not only perfectly reasonable, it should be considered a moral obligation for anyone that values quality control in games. They've been given a free pass on that front for far too long. --- This is my signature. It exists to keep people from skipping the last line of my posts. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I agree and disagree. I agree that they should face some backlash. But I disagree that it is 100% their fault. They deserve a lot, maybe even most, of the blame. But not all do it. And while its unplayable for many due to their internet, I think its still playable for most.
They also have been given a free pass for far too long. But the people who complain about Bethesda all the time continues to give them a free pass... --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.

shadowsword87 posted...TES_Nut posted...It's not even that bad. Ffs it's like these people have never played an online game at launch. The existence of patches makes this lawsuit pointless anyway as its evidence of supporting the product. Yeah I don't understand data caps at all. Clearly they aren't keeping up with the pace of games, and they should be forced to by law. I hope this lawsuit is the start of some heavy laws being made. Like no more releasing a half-finished game just because you can patch it later after the users report the bugs for free. Time to open massive testing centers again and to force companies to not cheap out at our expense. --- I'm right, as expected. ... Copied to Clipboard!

You can go to the Skyrim board right here on Gfaqs and find plenty of topics from that time calling Skyrim a "broken piece of code" and "one of the worst games ever made".

That hardly means the game was unplayable. You yourself just said you played it for 16 hours straight. Obviously youre gonna see a ton of topics about bugs when you use the search function and it filters out the topics from many thousands of players each playing the game for hours and hours.

Obviously youre gonna see a ton of topics about bugs when you use the search function and it filters out the topics from many thousands of players each playing the game for hours and hours. Man, its hard for me to talk about a game I havent touched yet(Fallout 76, the moment I heard "micro-transaction" I made a promise to myself to stay away from this). However, Ive touched every other Bethesda product at launch, and theyre always like this. Im not saying they shouldnt be fined or whatever, Im just saying Im not surprised. ESO had a literal game stopping bug at launch that locked everyone in the Ebonhart Pact at level 15. Took them nearly a whole week to fix that. They did eventually fix the thousands of bugs that Skyrim had at launch, however they branded it "Skyrim: Remastered" and made us pay twice for the same game. --- Somos bandidos, Pablo. ...

Also explains why they did NOT want to sell it on Steam and force it through their platform. Steam shut them down when they tried to monetize mods made by other people for themselves. Also, Steam takes a cut of every purchase, including micro transactions, which is the whole reason Fallout 76 was made, to try and make a fortune off of micro transactions like every other AAA publisher, but which so far, Bethesda has failed to do (the Creation Club is hated), despite numerous attempts, because most people don't pay for micro transactions in single player games, so they made a multiplayer one out of the pieces of Fallout 4. --- The only fool bigger than the person who knows it all is the person who argues with him.

This kind of stuff is so bothersome, most people like to bitch about broken game and glitches when most of the glitches are wonky physics stuff that generally does no harm and is more comedic than anything. Sure there's some actual "game breaking" glitches, like when I was playing eso off the start, one of the quests was uncompletable? because one of the characters you needed to talk to wouldn't spawn in. Stuff like that is an actual problem but most people just say bugs and keep bitching. Knowing how people react to popular games, it's probably a big chunk of people who don't even own the game. --- RSN: Pridefc PSN: Jaosin ... Copied to Clipboard!

Skyrim was unplayable for the first 30 days after its launch. Unplayable implies I can't do anything in the game without it crashing or corrupting my save file. Or there are certain objectives that never show up no matter how many times I reload. Unplayable does not mean weird physics issues with things flying in the air and funny glitches that make great YouTube videos. Yea, they should probably fix those, but it doesn't stop me from moving on and enjoying the game. --- I am a senior software engineer. If you see me post here, I am tired of writing TPS reports. ...

Lets play a game: Lets guess how many game breaking bugs/crash bugs/save corruption bugs there will be in Skyrim at initial release. Not a troll thread its meant for fun. Bethesda is known for doing very poor testing of their games. Lets make a bit of fun of them. I predict at least 10 bugs that will cause a instant ctd, at least 2-3 that will destroy your save with corruption, and about 15 game breaking bugs that prevent you from finishing the game. I also predict the players will fix these bugs weeks before bethesda gets off their ass to do it. On a side note.. I can't wait for the game, even though they overly simplified it. People knew Skyrim was going to be buggy even before it launched. Its a Bethesda game. Dont rewrite history. Fallout 76 problem is bad design. If the content behind the shell was good, no one would care about the bugs, just as no one cared about Skyrim bugs. --- Somos bandidos, Pablo. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Why cant Bethesda develop a fully functional game? Bethesda gave the Fallout 4 engine to a developer that had never worked on it before and told them to make it multiplayer.
