He talked about devoloping not publishing. And youre saying that F4 is less buggy than F3 like it is an actuall improvement, games werent buggy at launch just some years ago before F3 came out. F1 and 2 werent buggy and so are still many games today who are getting released on consoles. Whats up with these excuses? No game should have game breaking bugs its unforgivable.

Then go back and only play 16-bit games?  You can avoid anything complex and all your problems will be solved. If you don't want to play open world games then you don't have to play open world games.  It's that simple.

Also, you probably should go back and listen to the video you posted.  He clearly says "anything they publish as well as develop" and says "publish" other times as well.  In addition to that, the entire foundation of the video is ridiculous.  He says he had respect for Bethesda before, even though Fallout 4 is much less buggy than Fallout 3, New Vegas, or even Skyrim?  He had respect for them before, even though the quality of their published titles has increased greatly?  They're only a C+ player now?  It makes no sense.  

It's a known and generally agreed upon fact that Bethesda releases batches of game breaking bugs for its customers to QA for them, then releases patches a month after release. This is the reason my brother (a Bethesda diehard) won't invest in their games until the first patch hits.

 

So when this guy implies he doesn't have an respect for them currently, I can see where he's coming from. You are right, though- they've only gotten better at it, and having respect for them prior just doesn't make any sense. This guy is really inconsistent, and it doesn't do much for his credibility.
