Beta test Skyrim 1.4 on Steam (if you dare)

@mrantimatter

derp

@mrantimatter
You are a douche, mister.

What is it with all the Skyrim jokes about the bugs from certain people? Sure, the game has its flaws...but it has over 150 HOURS OF GAMEPLAY CONTENT. Of course there are bugs! And Bethesda is trying to fix them. Give them a break. Besides...those are almost all just miscellaneous quests problems anyway. No big deal.

You clearly never played Gothic 3 after its release. THAT was a painful bug package sold as a "game". Believe me.

Skyrim is absolutely fine...especially after considering the actual amount of content.

@SoldierShredder

I think you should jump off a bridge because Gothic 3 did.

@chuge So who is to say they even saw your tip?

@B0HICAH Well it stands to reason that if I sent them a tip, via that button on the top of the screen that says "Tip us", and then 45 minutes later the story I sent them shows up, it's probably safe to assume they saw it. Especially when that Bethesda Blog article has been up for a few hours now and only after sending my tip did they post the story.

@B0HICAH Bethesda's Blog has had this article up for a couple of hours now... So why would they use your site other than the official word?

@chuge

CRY MOAR!

@chuge So who is to say this article wasn't just waiting in a queue to be posted?

@ZexionArmando Because that's what journalists do. I'm not asking to be credited as the source, because I'm not. But if you look at other Joystiq articles, when the news come by way of another site, they usually list credit that site by way of "via: whatever site". It's just shady is all. And he even stole the tone of my article and everything.

Judge for yourself:

@chuge
Being butt sore that your "tip" wasn't used isn't going to endear us to your blog....

@chuge

How many tips do you think this site gets on a daily basis that the staff has to wade through at any given time? How many tips do you think other people who follow the Bethesda blog sent in about this very same thing?

And do you not think pretty much every member of the Joystiq staff themselves follows the Bethesda blog, not to mention every other major developer's blog there is?

Don't be so childish and naive.

@chuge Obvious attempt to get page views is obvious.

@chuge

I don't see how they stole the tone of your post.

I thought it was known that Joystiq often posts articles in advance (hidden) before letting them go live a few hours later.

Joystiq tries to space out there posts so that you have stuff to read all day long. They usually only post articles/stories about every 30-60 minutes, depending on how much news is coming out that day.

They follow a lot of gaming sites and developer twitter accounts already.

They often times get tons of people posting the same tip to them.

They don't always list a source if a story comes straight from a PR memo from the company.

They're human and make mistakes too. I'm sure they'd appreciate it if you didn't publicly berate them for failing to include a VIA site (whether it's how the news was obtained or not).

If you have a problem with their policies you can email Ludwig. He's the EIC.

@sonicspike41
I did not know they spaced their articles out like that, but I do now.

Sorry for being a jerkwad everyone. I wish I could go back and delete my comment...

@chuge

No harm done. Just don't jump to conclusions so fast. :)

Even though it's not as bad as it was, it's still bad enough to not be fun. I will admit the first 7000KB was fun, but from 8 to 15+ was a joke. Cue the Benny Hill music, sh*ts going to get crazy.
