Than perhaps you should not rely on your memory, because it's playing tricks on you. Let's look at Fallout 1, for example:I've played Gothic 1-2, Fallout< Baldurs Gate series vanilla without any patches and don't remember anything remotely broken compared with what you get these days, corupt save games, corrupt quests, infinite loading screens, terrible AI pathing, clipping throught the roof. The only one that truly made me lose my hair was VTMB, that one was truly a mess and still has some of those issues today.
- corupt save games - check (esp. on Win 98 FE, ME an other such shit)
- corrupt quests - check (multiple, e.g. the spy quest; there was also a min quest that would bug out, preventiing you form finishing the game, if you did things in a certain order)
- infinite loading screens - nd.
- terrible AI pathing - check (where do I start? Fucking companions always stopping in doorways and blocking your way? Player character unable to path a route around a small wall? Pathfinding in FO1 was really bad)
- clipping through the roof - n/a
TBH, many of the 90s RPGs were ridden with bugs. Some were in such a state, that you wouldn't be able to finish them, if you didn't know what to avoid in advance. The biggest difference between now and then is that most of them still are broken, because support ended with one or two patches released a year after release. So yeah, you are right in saying that youdon't remember that many games from the 90'-00'
They worked, never said they didn't had some bugs here and there, but they weren't so putrid to the point that I had to trow up every time I fired the game.
Skyrim slows down to avg of 4 fps on 60 hour saves:
It's literally the technical level of assets flip scam game made in 2 weeks.
What do you expect, it's a Bethseda title on an engine that almost predates Jesus Christ himself, that's the perfect example of parasites that have to luxury to bring broken products on the market only because theirs fan are willing to accept it. If Bethseda does it, that doesn't mean we need more companies to bring unfinished and broken products to the market.
