Come on bethesda ... you have come a long way from the ever glitchy daggerfall .. but that inability to release something without so many bugs is getting old .

I don't remember the last time they released anything that wasn't buggy. Seriously.

Because they never did . They are far better now , but it doesnt say much . it just that their oldest games were unplayable without multiple fixes and even after .

I bet if the phantom disagree even knew those games , he wouldnt so quickly disagree :p

Morrowind has to be the buggies game I have ever played. And Oblivion freezes so frequently that I get paranoid every time enter or leave a house/cave/ruins/etc.

Like Steam, but worse, in every single way.

I cannot believe that 4 driveby disagrees actually believe GFWLive to be better than Steam. It's fmucking incredulous.

Precisely . We all know W live is crap , and a pain for everyone and source of various bugs ... but sorry that stuff happens far too often to bethesda to ignore their history , and crap it all on microsoft this time .

Who ultimately didnt check twice already their fallout dlcs ? I do feel they'd have met problems too with PSN , steam or the wii ... because they never had a proper QA/QC department or keep using bug ridden engines .

Stuff happens, and it's OK if not frequent, and fixed quickly.

But in Bethesda's case, it's frequent (as in always), and not fixed quickly.

5 - its a drm issue
for those ps3 fanboys that will be commenting after me, DRM is controlled by GFW live which is microsofts fault. i know you might still be buthurt from bethesda not sharing any DLC with you but this is not at all microsofts fault.

You're the one being a fanboys here , get over yourselves and pointless wars . Bethesda doesnt belong to either the ps3 or 360 .

They are or were at first a pc developer .. and they got an history of developing buggy games . It started horribly with the first elderscroll games , then got a bit better , and finally far more around the morrowind and oblivion era , but still ...
For the record i enjoyed daggerfall or Morrowind far more in retrospect than their current games , and it was still a knightmare to play often between bugs and crashes

Yes it's a live issue and so what ? They always have something buggering them . If it's an issue that affect everyone involved with live games , then they knew it before hand , and didnt speak up , and crossed their fingers ?
And who picked Live for their games anyway ? Ultimately Bethesda
