There's something I'd like to call "the Bethesda" bar. It's basically an industrial bar lower than most. Let's define what that means:

• releasing the same game over and over
• make games so buggy that a release with only a couple hundred of glitches is deemed "polished*
• ignore progressive development for things like NPC AI
• put all the money in marketing and hype
• make the user think they're getting something new, rather than just another boilerplate game

I'm sure the story writers did some characters justice, but I won't be playing this game - especially since Bethesda claims it "can't run on older hardware", despite the fact that modders are proving them wrong.

The Betheada bar is a cancer upon the industry and I view it as consumer facing psy-ops, relying on brain-dead fanboys with nothing going on in their lives to squeal with glee as a new AAA-title is released to fill that void.
