Does patching Skyrim do more harm than good?

MMGN: Patching Skyrim to version 1.3 is only useful depending on what sort of problems you want to experience. While it fixes some, it creates others in a vicious cycle.

That surprises me, as I was amazed at how little impact the glitches had on the game before the first patch was released at launch. Sure, they were there. There were issues with freezing, loading and textures when installed on Xbox 360, but none of these really affected my experience. You would have been pretty unlucky to experience all of them in a short space of time, which is hours in Skyrim.

Probably.

My Skyrim became increasingly unstable with each new patch and now I can't even launch the damned thing.

It's such a good game buddy, it's worth holding on till it's stably patched next to other comparative scaled games.

Leave a cut unplastered to prevent more cuts with plasters. Publishers shouldn't be compromising dev time for profits. If car manufacturing had the same ethos, I shudder to think.

not for me but i keep playin

Bathyj5253d ago

Yes, yes it does. At least for me.

I had no framerate problems after the second patch.

After the 3rd however I do. Not as bad as originally, but enough to be annoying for the fact that the patch made it worse when it was good.

Even worse are the amount of gamebreaking bugs (on every platform) that mean you cant complete missions unless you do it a certain way. I've only just become aware of this because I got one and had to look up on the net how to get around it.

Why is no one talking about that? Its far worse than a little stuttering and its on ever version. Why is all the talk about PS3's framerate.

This is why I don't buy Bethesda games on release day.

they can't get a 14 year old game to run smoothly?

jjb1981148d ago

That's ridiculous, lol. I'm waiting for the guy that says its too cpu-intensive for the Switch 2. This game is old af and has been released like 17 times.
