Hands down a great video just seeing Bethesda’s failures is just hilariously bad that it’s sad. I mean they wanted to sell incomplete/glitchy games and wanted to sell nuckakola in glass, but didn’t do it because it would cost money so let’s make it in plastic. And then had the nerve to completely go back on what they said and went to sell the glass bottles only to people in their office.

[@Valkian24]

A personal Bethesda fail that I'd like to bring up is the cancellation of Prey 2 since that game had so much promise (even if the footage that was shown was rough) but due to what has been mentioned, the higher ups at Bethesda wanted to buy Human Head Studios (who were the developers behind it) but when rejected, they pushed them to the bone with unfair restrictions and other BS which lead the game getting cancelled and later rebooted into a System Shock wannabe. Pete Hines of Bethesda said it was cancelled due to the poor quality of the game, which is VERY rich coming from a publisher that releases buggy games.

[@ashbornphoenix7104]

Good list, kinda disappointed that you didn't mention their phase in the 90's where they wasted most of their money on projects that either never saw the light of day or were financial bombs.

I mean it, you can't say NO in the game... impossible. There is no way to say NO! in FO 4. You will do the mission if you like it or not! Yeah, not my favorite way to be treated.

"To be fair" seem to be a running phrase. Bethesda is pretty scummy in their quality, but "to be fair" they have made memorable games, and I guess to keep the price down on some of the largest worlds in gaming to explore you need an engine you're familiar with and some bugs will get through. However, we can not forgive poor monitization, refusing to update the games and patch out those bugs, and of course all the problems with 76 that remove the modding community from fixing the game and put the team (or a less experienced group of workers) in a field they're not ready for.

(It was technically given a funeral in SuperChargers; they kept it going for Imaginators when they shouldn't have.) And even then, the series was starting to suffer financially. After all, developing games is one thing... developing the figures and making THOSE financially successful is another thing entirely. I personally don't think Skylanders is done and dusted just yet, though. All they have to do is create a game that DOESN'T use the Portal of Power.

I can see Square Enix Fails right now: "Heyo! Do you like our properties and everything inside them? Do you wish to utilize them for your ambitious crossover installment or make your own mark? Great! That will be one soul, please."

[@smashmaster521]

Deal. I'll take one Cloud Strife and Midgar for Super Smash Bros. with 2 generic songs on the side

let's face it, Bethesda are terrible at game developing Next Time: Top Ten SquareEnix Fails hmm, I wonder why

[@deadaccountlol9189]

It wasn't always that way. I'd say fallout 3 onward was "the beginning of the end" for Bethesda

[@kennyrichardson6558]

maybe we could ask todd wh- oh never mind.... surely todd joining bethesda just before they started dying is coincidence right?

[@tac7288]

I mean, at least Square Enix still makes good, non-bug ridden games :)

[@acemeister1624]

@TAC indeed, but some of the FF spin-off games are bland and lame, the #1 on Josh's list made him bored

[@bobbymaycry9748]

I mean, you're not wrong but would argue that despite all the flaws Oblivion and Morrowind are solid western RPG games. Skyrim is solid too, but more of an action game honestly.

[@SylvieTheCuteSylveon]

I just loved how Josh made a throwback to his pony OC with ACTUAL horse arnor when he talked about the horse armor DLC. Just brilliant perfection

[@WILIZIN]

As the artist of that horse armor, your comment fills me with happiness. :D

[@MegaManDBZX]

Maybe once you finish the Fails series you should do some success videos. Just a thought.

[@luigissidekick861]

That’s actually a very good idea

[@galfinsp7216]

I can only imagine it would be done in a similar way to the fails lists: by companies

[@marioman6668]

He's just teasing us with top ten Nintendo fails at this point! It makes me think that he'll end the year with it. But for his other two fails lists for October and November, I am predicting Sega and Activision. They've f***ed up enough to get fails lists of their own.

[@Wiiranger87]

i feel like November should be Activision due to how often CoD releases in that month.

[@marioman6668]

@@Wiiranger87 I didn't even think of that. November is perfect for listing the company's many screw ups.

[@jinmiguel6884]

Yeah Square, Sega and Activision first

[@bromodragone8405]

Tbh, a Bethesda theme park sounds awesome. Imagine rides based on Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, etc.

[@JinxProductions]

Make the on-property hotels be themed after Fallout’s Vaults. Agreed, that sounds amazing

[@jrpludacrous]

Oh boy, Square's next $5 says their poor handling on their own games' code and how they put the shitty mobile versions of Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 6 on Steam will be on the list

[@avantgardemetalfan]

18:23 Bethesda didn't fall off their pedestal, they glitched through the bottom of it and are still falling through the world to this very day.

[@ItsChevnotJeff]

It's funny how Horse Armor for $5 sparked so much uproar, and in this day and age it couldn't hold a candle to all the microtransactions and cash squeezers that we all have to put up with

[@Elfos64]

Bathesdaland, while ill-conceived, was at least SOMETHING. As you said, they had a lackluster year and needed to salvage their press trafficking somehow, so they went with something crazy. Crazy ideas are hit-and-miss with Nintendo, so they gambled instead of for sure being that kid who forgot to bring anything for show-and-tell. Sure, the gamble failed, but at least they tried to be a little outside the box. Can't fault them too hard for that.

[@WagonWorks]

With Square being next, I’m at least expecting the stinginess with their properties (especially the situations with Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy’s music) to at least be an honorable mention.

[@larrychilders6599]

It's why I weap for Xenogears and Xenosaga

2K: Hold my soy latte. Game Freak: Hold my sake. I knew there was a crash coming but this isn't how I expected it to start. Edit for auto correct shenanigans.

[@CrescentGuard]

The glitch that rustled my Jimmy's was the habit of Skyrim saves getting corrupted if they got too big. It was especially bad for me because I loved the hell out of the "Write It Down," AKA the journal mod, and I would often be lucky to get through the main quest lines without my save just dying on me.

[@harrisonmissell1716]

@AardvarkLord honestly I like your icon did you draw that yourself

[@atraxian5881]

I remember the Horse Armour 'controversy'... At the time I never thought it would become the industry standard and for some games even a 'good deal'.... God, the industry nosedived.

I have to thank him, as well! I never heard of the brilliant novelty song until I saw this video!

[@arinfrankhouse1147]

+ I never knew about Rogue Warrior, so knowing how Bethesda's mismanagement bit them in the butt was a riot, along with the return of Censorshy + The use of Alcremie as part of your description of another game's failure to deliver worked just as well + Horse armor gag is so real + The food pelting segment in the Paid Mods discussion + I expected you to deliver at least one Sword Art Online Abridged reference in this video, given how that game was practically endemic of Fallout 76's quality, and by Gaia, YOU DID! + Never heard of Madia, but holy *yay* did Bethesda *yay* them over hard. And Obsidian? If Outer Worlds sells well enough to eclipse Fallout 76 in sales (which shouldn't be TOO hard), they will have every right to brag.
