I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol

Biggest concerning signs:

  1. 30 FPS lock on xbox, there's no way to spin that positively, absolute fail

  2. Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they're actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)

  3. Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs

  4. Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol

At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.

This sounds about right.

It might end up as a cyberpunk 2077 kind of launch but, who are we kidding it's Bethesda. It won't be perfect day 1 but, soon after it'll be good.

[–] Deft@lemmy.fmhy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

fully agree but only because this is just how games are now. people keep buying them so there is no push to make a decent product. they'll release it and maybe after a decade it'll be okay. just like Skyrim and Cyberpunk and everything else.

I think it's probably going to be fine, even if it does have some bugs.

But I'm not buying it on release week or probably even month anyway so it won't burn me if it isn't.

You could just try it on gamepass (10€ for a month ).
If it sucks, you still have a huge choice of other great games to play

[–] adamthinks@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

It's a Bethesda game. I fully expect it to be buggy as heck and be kind of janky. It'll probably still be fun though. Personally, I'm gonna wait for a remaster release on whatever Xbox system comes next. It'll probably be really good by then. I have a PS5 and not an Xbox series x, so I can wait. I'm not gonna buy a system for a game that likely won't play well for a while. There are plenty of other great games out there to play while I wait.

Has there been any mention of mod support?

Im super hyped about the game. preordered the deluxe edition to get the predatory 5 days early access that lands over a 3 day weekend...

It's going to be janky. The preorder bonus skins will be garbage. It's going to be a bad PC port that has issues with FPS and performance... They probably broke the cardinal rule and linked the physics to the frame rate and it's going to fuck everything up... Youre probably going to have load screens when you enter/leave your ship or any building just like every TES/Fallout game...

Still excited for it!

I just hope this game isn't going to need like 200gb of drive space.
