DANGEROUS BREAKING NEWS: Bethesda Skyrim 1.4 Patch WON'T FIX LAG !!!

What I love is how fans of it will dismiss all of the problems as if they don't matter. A broken game is a broken game, no matter what it "gets right". Patch after patch after patch to fill up my HDD? No thanks. Either get it right, or don't release it - But patching roads like the state of Illinois (they do a terrible job of upkeep on their roads, almost on purpose to keep contracts alive and union workers endlessly employed instead of fixing anything correctly) is for the birds. GOTY, my ***. And if the folks in the industry DO award it thusly, then we'll all know who received free copies, won't we?

:lol:

My deepest sympathies to everyone who paid full price for the PS3 version. I don't like to see my fellow gamers getting frustrated or ripped off.

Peace on Earth, Good Will Towards Men, Go **** Yourself Bethesda. Ahmen.

I agree. These constant patches are ridiculous. This will be my 1st and last purchase from Bethesda. Wish I would have known about their track record for buggy releases beforehand. Only a true fanboy would attempt to justify and emphathize with a dev who could have waited a few more months or even another year before releasing a broken game and cashing in on the holiday phenomena. Who wants to go through the trouble or disabling auto saves and changing options to enjoy something they spent money on? It's amazing how the PS3 version racked up any awards at all. Until everything is fixed 100%, it will collect dust on my shelf if I don't decide to sell or trade it 1st.

i used to think skyrim would be a great game.. then i took a glitch to the knee..

I'll agree the lag can be an issuse but I haven't found it a game breaking bug, I've been playing for over 45 hours and I haven't once crashed. Whats all the problems everyone is facing?

I had it freeze up on me three times today, to the point where I had to manually power the PS3 off and on again. It was in the course of playing it for about five hours (time flies when you're playing this thing), so it's not like it was every ten seconds or anything. Again, it's a small price to pay for the content.

What lag are we talking about? I haven't encounter any lag at all. Just once or twice with the autosave hiccup but other than that it's been really smooth.

to summarize:

we got yur money f*** you (no offense to you of course lol)

im glad i didnt buy the game, they dont deserve sales if they are releasing a broken game. to those who bought it, i wish you the best of luck.

What i don't understand is why everyone always buys the console versions..

The PC version will never suffer the same issues for one simple reason. Modders, you get extra FREE content which in many ways bests even the best DLCs Bethseda can produce...look at Nehrim for Oblivion, the countless high quality armor/weapon mods.ES games have always been buggy and will continue to remain so, there's no reason for them to fix something that they KNOW modders will in subsequent months. Bethseda also do tend to shaft PS3 users, look at how the Oblivion DLCs were released for the PS3.

Bottom line is Bethseda games are epic, especially on the PC. But stay far far away if you're purely a PS3 player

[QUOTE="Jamie3213"][QUOTE="ShangTsung17"] LMFAO!!! 1 post pc fanboy... i'll try and explain this as polite as possible, pc versions will ALWAYS lag and studder, its the price u pay for being able to mod a game... there are controller jacks u can buy but there hell to configure and use... anyone who tells u that graphics are better on a pc is a lying pc fanboy, they are the same except that consoles don't contain the lag *skyrim is obviously a bad example but this is usually true* u will ALWAYS need to upgrade a pc every few months for it to continue to run games to where there atleast playable... decent graphics cards also cost out the @ss, some as much as a console by itself! i could go on and on but whats the point? you're just gonna deny all this anyway... put simply- pc gaming SUCKS MONKEY FVCK THROUGH AN ANAL TUBE!!! why go through all that trouble and money when u can get the same thing on a console without the frusteration of lag, constant updates, virus crashes, hundreds of hardware purchases, ect, ect... ? now bring on the fanboy fibs- lol

ok not everyone has a super PC with amazing performance and graphics to run skyrim. and not everyone is willing to put in the money to make it so. the majority of ppl who play video games have consoles...this is the ps3 forum after all. yeah i know everyone has a computer but it's most likely for other uses than gaming, we have our consoles for gaming. not to mention many ppl live in households with their family or what not that also use the PC. skyrim was developed with consoles in mind so there really isnt any reason that it shouldn't work.

and yeah to all the ppl saying "oh u guys are just crybabies, im 40 hours in or 60 hours in and im playing JUST FINE". thats exactly why you're playing just fine, because you're 60 hours in. i was thinking that too until my save file hit around 8-10MB, THATS when the lag kicks in. so keep feeling all jolly and stuff, ull see what we're talking about when you hit 10MB save file and try playing for more than an hour. whiterun will turn into a slideshow.

they've been developing the game for 5 years, im pretty sure they couldve spared another 100 hours to see it worked properly, especially with their track record on problems like this with their previous games.

Bethesda has a signiture in all its games: Glitches
I'm starting to think that they actually enjoy deploying thier games with glitches and problems....Its been happening over a series of game and if they havent caught on it to it yet then...its on purpose lol
They need better coders

Registered just to post here, Bethesda NEVER makes a game with console as their main focus or anywhere near that, If you want a good Bethesda game, dump about 1 grand into a custom built PC and get something better then a stupid pre-built PC from some company that charges out the ass just for their stupid logo to be on your PC. You can spend 600$ of a console, I'll spend that on a top of the line CPU and motherboard for overclocking CPUs and GPUs and then get a proper GPU, find the 4k, 8k,etc resolution texture mods for my games and have a much higher quality game then your consoles.Pat133780

yea but this one's a total disaster, the others were atleast playable.

Eveyone calm down, it's been cofirmed that the next update will help with the lag so calm down now...

I'm still holding on with Skyrim purchase since I don't have proper PC to give it justice, however I did read an article today stating 1.4 patch will resolve PS3 frame rate issues on N4G. I had been waiting for proper patch to address the issue as I loved Morrowind and Oblivion. Either way, I'm willing to spend my hard earned money on Skyrim but all the negative attention that the game is non playable after certain period is holding me back. I hope it gets fixed eventually.

This, so much of THIS^

I don't know what Bethesda has against the PS3 but it's obvious that they don't give a crap about anything they release for it.

If I do ever get Skyrim (or any Bethesda game) again, it will be for the PC, and well after launch too. Those modders are usually the only ones that can get the game working but it takes them a few months; still, they'll fix it quicker than Bethesda. Not to mention free dlc.

If my ps3 copies of Fallout 3 & New Vegas weren't STILL constantly freezing and if it wasn't the same exact huge game breaking problems over and over again, I would cut Bethesda a little slack...just a little.

Sure some of the blame lies with Sony, if only for just not enforcing some standards. I'll not argue with that. Just look at the firmware support we've gotten with the ps3 and you can imagine how unhelpful they are to devs.

However at this point because they don't want to "waste" money on QC, their customers end up wasting their money on a broken game.

Glad I didn't buy it then.I'm going for PC this time as these type of games are originally developed for that. I hope to see some changes as I have immensely injoyed FO3 on the ps3, and FNV after the big patch.survivor9712

The Big Patch didn't help mewith the freezing or lag in New Vegas. Still, I wish I had waited for that. By that time the price dropped to $20.

I buy a pair of shoes for $70. I take them home, put them on, and one of the eyelets fall out. Ok, I can still use the shoes like that, they still work kinda like they are supposed too, however, I paid for a shiny new pair of finished undamaged shoes. So I bring them back and they refund my $70 bucks, no questions asked. Why the f@ck should Skyrim be any different! I don't give a crap about "how large and open the game world is." or "how hard it is to get everything exactly right before deadline." Selling a broken product and not offering a refund to those consumers who demand quality product is bad business. Personally, I have a very full family life, a home, a rental, two kids, a wife and a dog. If I get an hour to play a day, I'm lucky. To bad I have to peruse the internet finding workarounds for glitches with time I could actually spend playing. This will mostdefiantlybe the last Bethesda title I buy before I rent it 1st.

I own skyrim on ps3. Ive been getting a kick outa people being positive about its issues. Let me clear a couple thngs up. It just gets worse and worse as time goes on. Ive logged 158 hours into the game. I can no longer play the game for more than 5 mins without a freeze. During that 5 mins im plagued by horriable lag. My memory is up to 18mb. I worked on my smithing alot in hopes of owning dragon armour. I am or i was as i should say lv 93 smithing. It is now impossible for me to wear the armour the game was intended for me to wear! I havnt hit the level cap and i havnt explored everything. I started a new game and got kicked back to main screen shortly after opening cutseens. My system is free of space and running fine with all other games. As u can tell i did play the crap outa it. Regardless i should be able to make and use items that the game was created to use. I should be able to get my low skills up. I should be able to explore all of skyrim. NO MATTER WHAT I SHOULD BE ABLE TO ENJOY THE GAME THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE ENJOYED WHEN I PAYED $60 FOR IT! I cant see patched fixing game freezes 5 mins into it. All u positive people out there still praising bethesda with ur 8 mb, i have two words. JUST WAIT!bethesdasuks

I won't be getting a game from Bethesda again. Screw them.

How? Wasn't that the point of that patch?

ehhhh some guy made two accounts (mrhunt and nashoo) just to troll? u give xbox360 owners a bad name, you know? thanks for the opinion though.
