The entire game Bethesda announced 2 years ago has been entangled in scandals

Out of the 6 games Bethesda announced at E3 2018, only one was the best, but they were just publishers, and all 6 had a scandal.

At E3 2018, Bethesda announced a total of 6 different titles, all of which are exciting for gamers because they carry big names. These are Quake Champions, The Elder Scrolls: Blades, Wolfenstein Youngblood , Fallout 76, Rage 2 and Doom Eternal , which have great expectations from gamers because of the reputation that the predecessor left.

And as of May 15, 2020, all six of Bethesda's games have been hit by heavy scandals, regardless of its quality. This is a sad (and laughable) thing for fans of these series, and I will review what happened to those games.

Quake Champions

The way Bethesda released Quake Champions is quite confusing. Initially, this publisher declared Quake Champions would be a free game when it was officially launched, but in the Early Access phase of the game, those who want to test the game will have to pay Bethesda . 675,000 VND (price Steam for Vietnam). Think again: test the game for yourself and give them suggestions on how to develop the game, but you have to pay for that 'privilege'.

It is not difficult to understand when Bethesda officially launched the game in August 2018, the number of players of the game can be counted on the fingers. At the time I wrote this article, the record for Steam's game players was 17,500 people two years ago, when the game was open for free during the Quake Champion event. After that, the number of players of the game kept falling and now the peak of the number of players was less than 1,100 people.

The Elder Scrolls Blades

Perhaps you never heard of the name or forgot it after Bethesda announced the game. Strange, Todd Howard has sworn Blades is a pure Elder Scrolls game, an epic first-person RPG with console quality, runs on phones, has standard gameplay, right?

Just like what Todd said about Fallout 76, what he said about The Elder Scrolls: Blades is just bullshit. This is not a pure The Elder Scrolls game but a filthy money game that only succeeds by exploiting gamblers, forcing them to pay for everything as soon as possible. It was true that the game achieved 'console graphics quality', but it was the graphics of the Xbox and PS2 era.

According to what we know, The Elder Scrolls: Blades was released on Switch just a few days ago. If you have a Switch and want to find quality RPG games, go to The Witcher 3 or Skyrim instead of Blades.

Wolfenstein: Youngblood

As a fan of the Wolfenstein series, I am excited to hear that Bethesda has announced a new version called Youngblood. I do not care too much that the main character is no longer BJ Blazkowicz (ancestor of Doom Slayer) but his two twin daughters. Whoever the main character is, as long as the game is compelling enough and shoot a gun!

When experiencing Wolfenstein: Youngblood firsthand, what Beetle received was disappointment. The feel of each gun is now backward compared to the previous versions before the development team tried to add RPG elements to the game - perhaps because they saw the Borderlands series work well and wanted to imitate, but didn't. know that what lured gamers to the Borderlands is not the level and the numbers, but the multicolored guns. The two protagonists look like models of modern 'feminine warriors' and 'feminist powers', while the game is crammed with dozens of microtransaction and many game-as-a-service features. It is essentially an offline shooter.

League of Legends Griffin team: From youth to glory and collapse

Let's look back at the history of the Griffin League of Legends team since they were a fledgling organization to successes and even failures.

Fallout 76

I would have just understood that Fallout 76 would have understood it, but it did not look good and I did not deceive the number of words, so I want to take some time to introduce it to you. you on what Fallout 76 has disappointed gamers. All you need to do is click on this article to read it again - the game has so much phosphorus that it takes a separate 2,200-word article just to review the times Bethesda has been a gamer. Play frustrated or feel cheated!

Rage 2

Overall, Rage 2 is not so bad. The game has nice graphics and an exciting shooting section, but other than that, there's nothing worth mentioning. The main plot of the game is beyond imagination, so developers id Software and Avalanche Studios must try to plaster the length of the game longer by side activities such as racing, puzzles, collecting furniture . Although These activities successfully extend the playing time, they prevent gamers from enjoying the shooting range - the best part of the game.

So, considering the shooting experience of Rage 2, this is a pretty good game, but when looking at the overall, it is nothing memorable and does not contribute to the progress of the plot or expand the world. of Rage.

Doom Eternal

I love Doom Eternal for the flattering compliments and it is also very popular around the world, but what happened after this game launched affects its reputation. Initially, the gamers expressed frustration and opposition to id Software and Bethesda because the game's OST disc was of an unexpected quality before the break was not due to id Software or Bethesda, but the main issue. composer Mick Gordon.

This incident has just subsided when a new 'game breaking' phase has been performed. Most readers of the game know that in recent weeks, Valorant's Vanguard anti-cheat software is being scolded by gamers for many reasons including the fact that it runs at Kernel 0 that makes people worried.

In this context, id Software has a straightforward processing phase when launching the first major update for Doom Eternal containing . Denuvo Anti Cheat, anti-cheating solution for the multiplayer part of the game. It is not Denuvo Anti Tamper, the extremely difficult copyright protection software that we are familiar with before.

While the name Denuvo was inherently unpopular with copyrighted gamers because their DRM software was accused of slowing down the computer, Denuvo Anti Cheat angered gamers while also running at Kernel 0 level like Vanguard. Gamers who do not play multiplayer but only play the campaign part are also annoyed when they are forced to install this anti-cheat software, although this is quite normal because it is included in the update with some skins and items in the game.

The appearance of Denuvo Anti Cheat also worries gamers that sooner or later, Doom Eternal will also be stuffed with microtransaction items although id Software has promised that it will not be in the game. This suspicion is understandable because the developers promise not to microtransaction and then swallow the word is no longer rare in the gaming industry.

After the intense reaction of gamers, Doom Eternal production director Martin Stratton announced that they would remove this anti-cheat software from the game in the next update and reconsider their direction in fighting cheating for multiplayer.

Conclusion

Thus, all 6 games that Bethesda announced at E3 2018 and released since then have encountered various problems, though it may not be the fault of the developer or the publisher. to their reputation. With such an impressive 'track record of achievement', it is hard for me to believe that the Starfield project they are developing (based on the 20-year-old Creation Engine) will not come into being deceived. below, missing before after.
