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.

It's free on GamePass so I'll be playing it on PC on day one. I have high hopes but realistic expectations (this is Bethesda so it'll likely be broken af). I really WANT it to be good though!

It's Bethesda, obviously it's going to suck. They might have ambition for the first time since oblivion, but i really don't trust them to even know what makes a good game let alone be competent enough to put it together. I haven't watched anything about it, so absolute is my belief it's not going to be worth it, but I've heard it's just no man's sky.

Considering the bugs they didn't hide in showcases and footage, I've gotta agree.

There's footage of the player character's head clipping through their spaceship when they exit it. The planetoid they showed for the lighting had the lighting at the incorrect angle for the arch. On the storepage is a character's hand clipping through their gun. No doubt their entire team of workers spotted these flaws, but still waved it through.

This is either two things; This is the most jank, broken game ever... It's actually really well-made, and they're incredibly confident with the gameplay that such minor errors are minuscule compared to the fun factor.
