also its a shame how they parasite from the former good name of LucasArts, they use it as a “Brand” that gets slapped on everything Star Wars and so on, no matter who developed it.
What? The studio is LucasFilm Games and both LucasFilm and LucasArts stuck its name on all types of crap. I thought we wanted them to keep Lucas Arts and move away from EA (or whoever) having too much oversight
And thats fine. Still not a good Dev Studio, all their games are riddled with Bugs they wont ever fix, and let their community do their work, while Todd Howard jokes about it on Stage while wearing a Rolex and talking about his new Tesla.
So they will still contract out the games but then they will put the Lucas Games logo on it??? Shadows of the Empire 2: the deeper shadows, is what a want to play. A totally new game where you do all the stuff you didn’t do in the first one and get to be Dash Rendar again or maybe a new game where you get to be a bad guy who works for the empire or the crime boss that game always mentioned.
It’s so easy to pick on Beth which does work on the games and release them to great reviews and sales but not on ZeniMax, the owner and the upper suits that decide what goes and what not in the company.
Hope that the acquisition by Microsoft can take the pressure from Zeni and make games the way Beth wants to.
I call it “Public Figure Flack Syndrome” it is never the true face of the company that cops the flack. It is always the name people recognise that gets the blame even if it isn’t their fault.
That being said Todd is executive producer on his games which means it is his job to effectively manage the product and ensure the quality of said product. But he doesn’t and he fosters the flippant attitude many have towards Bethesda’s glitchy products.
True but The Chessmaster was executive producer on mostly RPG games. I have never played an RPG game and never say “huh, this game needs an unofficial patch”. It’s the sort of things to be expected from RPGs. The only fault with Beth is that they still use Gamebryo as the main engine since the days of Morrowind.
As for Todd, there are worse liers and oversellers out there
True but only Beth games I didn’t like the writing is Fallout 3 and 4 and Skyrim ended up the way it did was because of limitations. Witcher 3 got everyone’s attention because it was always compared to Skyrim and it’s shortcomings.
Did a full SA playthrough in, well, SA for the first time ever. Not exactly all zeros but it’s been a long time since the last time so it’s justifiable. A good game, the two Japan missions and Motorcade Interception are still bullshit tho.
