I wonder if they'd call Skyrim the same thing if it wasn't developed by them.
that is the richest thing ever coming from bethesda considering all of their games are completely and utterly lacking any polish
What was so special with Prey 1 anyway? I found it boring as shit.
You know what else wasn't good enough. Skyrim. Could have used a lot more work. And some writers.
If you're wondering about their standards This is what Bethesda considers good enough. [video=youtube;pSDXn7cDQIo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSDXn7cDQIo[/video]
This certainly hasn't stopped Bethesda before... If they can release gems like Rogue Warrior and Brink, this would have to be literally unplayable for Bethesda to shelve it.
everyone who's played a single game by Bethdesa deserve to be mad at all the fucking shit they called finished
[QUOTE=Rankzerox;41115663]What was so special with Prey 1 anyway? I found it boring as shit.[/QUOTE]I never found the original to be an enjoyable experience. I played a couple hours when it first came out but it just was mind-numbingly dull and uninteresting. It was years before I ever went back to finish it and I've forgotten just about everything about it. The unique mechanics they had at the time were cool, but that was about it. Prey 2 is a total, and personally very welcome, departure from the original.
Well, hell, maybe it [I]is[/I] crap? The trailer for it was boss as heck, but has there been any actual gameplay footage released?
[QUOTE=Rankzerox;41115663]What was so special with Prey 1 anyway? I found it boring as shit.[/QUOTE] Atmosphere, originality. Gameplay is pretty dated though

[QUOTE=RichyZ;41116267]there has been some 20 minutes of e3 gameplay (actual gameplay, not dumb bullshot/scripted scene nonsense) and it looked like it was just as ready to ship as any beth game a bit buggy and unpolished, but fuck its been like 2 years they could totally fix that hopefully this will pull a sleeping dogs and get a new publisher and release as is (activision said sleeping dogs aka true crime hong kong wasn't finished and cancelled it when devs said it was done, then squenix or w/e picked it up and released and waddayaknow, good game)[/QUOTE] Ugh now I have to reinstall sleeping dogs
Prey 1 was pretty good but than after waiting for years for a sequel they fucked it up big time. I don't wanna spoil the prey 1 ending so you can look it up. Sorry if this was not a fine post but seriously I have been waiting and mad this got brought up now.
What the fuck is this a joke?
It must have been really bad to not live up to bethesda standards. I love Elder Scrolls as much as the next man, but come on. Bethesda has published a lot of poor quality games in the past.
I wish they'd actually tell us [I]why[/I] it's not good enough. If they can't give us any examples of what was wrong with it then how are we supposed to believe them?
I maybe be wrong, but wasn't this announced as one of the first games for the Xbone-Uh, XboxOne? Maybe its fate is "political" after all, I would not be one bit surprised, since Bethesda is pretty much in bed with Microsoft. " 'simply not good enough, until new gen Xbox is out."
Because Bethesda games have always been the peak of perfection! These guys really need to learn to keep their big mouths shut.

Does bethesda have memory loss or something? My copy of brink hasn't even been played for an hour because it's so boring.
brink that's my only response to beth right now
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;41120941]brink that's my only response to beth right now[/QUOTE] Brink, Rage... they published quite a lot of mediocre stuff before Dishonored I remember people thinking Dishonored would be bad solely because it was published by them.
rage was a good game, it's just that everyone except me expected it to be a revolutionary tour de force and then got butthurt when it didn't change their perceptions of all games. brink was shit but then again it always looked shit, people were overhyped and butthurt about that as well but that had the distinction of being an actual awful game prey 2 was probably just getting to be more trouble than it was worth so they cancelled it, was probably a purely business decision and you shouldn't get angry at bethesda
I expected Rage to be bad and then it turned out even worse. I would have felt ripped off buying it as a $15 dlc game. I had more fun with Brink tbh. Not that that's saying much in praise of it.
