    Forget the release builds. Bethesda full releases are usually buggy as hell. Fallout 3 and Skyrim on PS3 were nigh on unplayable at release.

      I don’t know why anybody downvoted you, but by release build I think we are talking about the same thing.

      My comment was basically I don’t buy Bethesda products until they’ve been on the market for at least a year because they’re so fucking buggy and I know they’re going to go on sale anyway.

        Bruh Skyrim released 2 years before the PS4. FO3 releases 5 years before the PS4. If Skyrim had issues running on PS3 on release it shouldn’t have been released for it at all. This isn’t a Cyberpunk 2077 situation where they could have just gone with a current gen release only.

        If you were taking shit about consoles in general versus PC then carry on.

            Your original comment is still oddly accurate. The PS3 version was buggier than the 360 version and more prone to memory issues.

            But, yeah, definitely get the PC versions of Bethesda stuff, wait for the complete edition to go on sale, then grab the unofficial patch before so much as starting the launcher the first time.

              Or, just don’t fall for that “consoles are better than PCs” bullshit at all. Don’t mistake “convenience” for what it too often is: molding you into a target, captive audience member. (Or worse, a slack-jawed “brand loyal” simp) 🤌🏽
