The fact that it won leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Bethesda can make the glitches games and no one will ever fault them for it. Looking forward to Fall Out 4 and the problems that will come with it.

The fact they create a game that has some bugs and a few really bad ones for a handful of people and still win the hearts of many gamers is a testament to just how good that game is.

I'm sure the game is good but the hype that surrounds bethseda games is not good enough to have the same problems game after game. You know what they learn from this? "Look guys we won another game of the year even tho we never fix these damn glitches"  It doesn't deserve the auto win that it was always going to get.

Well for one they are trying to fix all problems, I've gotten a ton of updates for the game (even though I haven't encountered any annoying bugs let alone a game breaking one) 

It's not hype that wins them GOTY awards for their games, it's because they create such incredibly addicting, fun games that are far and beyond your average experience. Just ask the average person who's owned and played Skyrim...Most will say it's their GOTY (many even say it's their game of all time)

It does raise an interesting debate: should a product that was clearly released as unfinished have its unfinished status held against it, or should it be purely judged upon the gameplay itself?
