I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol
Biggest concerning signs:
-
30 FPS lock on xbox, there’s no way to spin that positively, absolute fail
-
Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they’re actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)
-
Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs
-
Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol
At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.
I don’t understand why anyone is naïve enough to still preorder from companies like Bethesda.
Mostly I don’t understand pre-ordering games at all (patient gamers represent) but from Bethesda? You’re basically paying to get kicked in the shins. Surely we all know this by now.
Right? How could anybody still fall for that after the shit show that was Fallout 76? I recently watched a long video with some gameplay footage and Todd Howard giving an interview and most comments were people being absolutely hyped to the bone. I’m sorry for them… They’re going to be so disappointed.
Fallout 76 is only the most recent, they’ve been like this since… I guess a little after morrowind? As an early adopter of tes (saved my sheckels to buy arena after reading a PC gamer review, did not regret), I was sad to see them go to shit, but to shit they went and it was not recent.
Man i was there for the older elder scrolls games. Same exact thing minus the internet hype because there was no internet. But they always hyped their games beyond anything reasonable and the end product was a buggy mess. They called daggerfall “buggerfall” back in the day for a reason.
It is now 30 years of continuous lies and people are still believing it.
I never understood why you would even want the pre-order bonuses. Surely that would detract from unlocking things in game if they give you a bunch of stuff for free. Wasn’t it one of the dead space games that have you a bunch of bonus weapons that broke progression?
Part of the reason Bethesda’a PC games age so well is because of them being so moddable.
Yep, and that doesn’t fit well with ‘omg must preorder this game’
People really SHOULD be smarter and not fall for the many promises Bethesda do.
I always remember this classic
