Bethesda just keeps getting away with releasing broken games and the let the fans do the fixing.

I don't know. I didn't encounter any bugs on PS4 until now, but I'm only 3 hours in. Just some framedrops here and there, but the game was always playable.

I did play Fallout 3 on PS3 though, and it had that issue in the op, the image just froze every now and then. The game also tended to just crash altogether and stuff like that, not even mentioning game breaking bugs. I couldn't finish a specific quest because of that.

Stuff like that sure is annoying, but I still was never mad at the games. Even if I do miss out on some content, there is still enough other stuff to fill 10 games easily. Talking about the graphics, I just don't give a shit. Fallout just has such a great atmosphere that I don't even notice bad textures or framedrops too much.

What I'm trying to say is, I will take a great game with endless good content and bugs over a bugfree game that isn't fun any day. Despite all its flaws Fallout 3 on PS3 is still one of my favourite games of all time. I only have good memories thinking of it, I almost completely forgot about the bugs and the poor loading times. There are just things that are more important to me. On the other hand I played Crysis 2, because I really liked the first one. Welp, the game sucked ass. I didn't encounter any bugs, but I still didn't have any fun at all. I wish I would have never played that shitty game.

Bethesda games have their flaws, but it's not like the games are completely broken to a point where they aren't playable anymore. (Ok, except for Skyrim on PS3 if you had a really big savefile :P). I let Bethesda get away with such things more easily than other developers, because their games are just so friggin' huge. I mean of course it's easier to get Call of Duty bug-free as the game is short as fuck! Oh, and they even can't get that done. Black Ops 3 seems to be a bloody mess on PC. Or have you played Arkham Knight on PC? Bethesda games are a dream in comparison.

Just my thoughts. Oh, and did you know that Fallout 4 wasn't delayed one single time? They told us a date and they got the game out at that date. That's something VERY rare in this day and age. There are countless other developers who just delay their game for two years or more and STILL deliver a bugfest with Day 1 patches. So all in all, I think Bethesda is better than their reputation.
