I really don't care who the developer of a game is…
alright, lets say you never played any of their games …
- the proof is in the game, not the developer.
Very true. So lets see
Skyrim 2011 - badly codded in ancient , slow code, outdated textures, sloppy meshes, broken dynamic lightning, unresponsive UI, countless glitches usual with Bethesda, unplayable at launch.
BUT burned millions in marketing and PR coz that's what brings $$$ and GOTY
Skyrim 2015 - finished by fans, obviously worth playing in this state, like any Bethesda game after modding, expanded gameplay, expanded functionality way beyond the original framework, the masses praise Bethesda and jump on Todd Halfward's dick and promise to buy everything with their logo on it
It will be the same with FO4. IF we get a good Creation Kit, which I have no reason to doubt. As it stands now, same raiders are everywhere , you get bombed by radiant garbage, same bland wasteland everywhere, boring quests, kill everything, same items in each container type, no difference whether you have 1 intelligence because you can still hack computers and get most dialogue options, most of what you say you get the same result, and so on. But in a couple of years it will be a different (much better) game, maybe even an actual RPG
So yeah… If they cared about consumers, they wouldn't handle things this way… but anyone is free to ride there penis if it makes you happy… You must understand the typical Zenimax business model. Which is good toolset + bad port. They operate by parasiting off in three directions. Off cult IPs , because that's how they gain attention and access to a wider consumer base. Off ignorant masses of casuals, which is why trash gets passed as 100/100. And off talented modders , which is how they get undeserved credit to further fuel their capitalist rampage
Yes, I trust certain developer more than I trust others, but I'm not going to call a bad game good, just because of the developer.
No not *strictly* based on the developer. We can tell this game is shit without looking at who's the developer. And this particular developer does it all the time. So there's the connection
