The Love Of Bugs

[RangerBoo]

Okay I have been hearing this a lot from Beth fanboys and that is them saying that they love bugs in a Bethesda and that to fix those bugs is to ruin the games charm. They further say that they don't understand people complaining about the bugs in the game saying that "if you don't want a broken or buggy game then don't buy a Bethesda game." I want to know if I'm crazy for wanting a game from Bethesda that works after spending 60+ bucks on it or if the Bethesda fanboys are going into a meltdown and grasping at straws?

Yeah, Of course you're crazy.

In this day of age of shitty gofundme, early access, and kickstarters. You see a lot more anti-consumer consumers that are ignorant of their own rights, and the rights of others as well as laws.

I give some of them the benefit of the doubt, being 13 year old adolescent teens or prepubescent kids. But you see a lot of man children who deliberately try to justify shit-tier practices.

This article argues that without the bugs, Fallout 4 would be worse because it would be like other games without bugs, thus making it less unique:

"Fallout 4 is Full of Bugs, but Fixing Them Could Ruin It" is the title.

Warning: Not Safe for Blood Pressure

Sad. I’m tempted to dismiss these cases as little kids with terrible parents, but I’m prepared to be disappointed. Some glitches are indeed harmless and can be amusing (e.g. certain visual glitches), but there are still many glitches that just ruin the game, like crashes and freezes. I saw one where my friend was attempting to converse with Preston, and he magically disappeared. That might be funny to some, but it certainly annoyed him; it depends on your perspective. A glitchy game can be charming only in so far as a rubbish film (except a comedy) can be charming: it’s so unstable and aleatory that you can’t help but laugh at the designers’ sheer incompetence. It’s not a genuinely good thing.


Frankly, I have a feeling that these dorks will defend anything made by Bethesda. They could have shipped their boxes packed with shit and the Bethdrones would still defend them.

There are some bugs in Bethesda games that are funny or charming. Like the giants in Skyrim rocketing you into the air when they hit you with their club, the horses that walk backwards, or the dragons that fly upside down. But the novelty of that stuff wears off eventually so you really ought to fix it.

Stuff like "the game crashes" or "you get stuck in the scenery" or "the quest doesn't progress correctly" or "textures don't load properly" have no redeeming value and anybody who argues that they shouldn't be fixed is being silly.

Would 'horrible optimization' count as a bug? Because I really didn't find it charming to have to tweak my .ini constantly to try and maintain even 25 fps on my rig that's well ABOVE minimum system requirements.

Guess it's my fault for playing a 'pirated copy' though (LOVE this excuse to death).

Wait did you buy the game RangerBoo? I did read some of those articles and I wonder HOW they can defend bugs and enjoy them by saying "Yes this game is unique with its bugs so they must remain!". I mean all I have to say to them...Are you out of your minds?

I can see why people can have affection for some of the quirky bugs that occur. If it doesn't massively affect the game and is slightly amusing, I don't really mind that much. But when they cause issues in your play through then it's clearly a problem. I haven't had any of those yet in Fallout 4, but maybe I'm just lucky so far.

Yeah you're crazy because Bethesda has a track record of releasing buggy games at launch. Either go in expecting it to be buggy or don't buy. It's sad but it's how it is.

I myself fully expected a buggy experience. Not solely because it's a Bethesda game though mind you, but because my experience with a lot of games I've played over the past couple of years is that I'll usually get a buggy, albeit somewhat fun, mess of a game.

I bought the game when it launched but went "fuck this!" and returned it after a little over two hours due to the game crashing on me and several blue screens of death. Skyrim fights with me enough with all the times it crashes, I don't need another game that gives me heart palpitations.
