I’ve played enough Bethesda games to know that they’re like the Final Fantasy series, but instead of reoccuring themes or characters like Cid, or moogles, it’s reoccuring weird ass janky-ness and bugs.
For instance, I fully expect NPCs to walk stiffly as if they have a broom stick ALL THE WAY UP THEIR BUT. Random performance issues, and maybe even some crashes to desktop for flavor.
I’ll wait and see how it’s received, just like with Cyberpunk 2077, I don’t see what the hype prior to release is about. Wait and see, that’s the smart play.
They’re fixing the wrong things. It’s a case of survival bias. Everyone always complains about bugs. So they try to improve but miss getting rid of the parts that actually made people put the game down and walk away.
I’m cautiously optimistic for the game. But either A) they’re lying out of their ass or B) they got rid of all the cool stuff like a live background world, any sort of AI, etc. Or C) they made a huge evolutionary step forward (for Bethesda).
Guess we’ll find out
They did design a whole new engine for this game to replace their aging engine they used for Oblivion, Skyrim, and the Fallout games.
Might still end up a buggy nightmare, but who knows, maybe they did drastically improve it.
no bugs, no buy. WHO’S WITH ME
Unfortunately, I game exclusively on Playstation so this game will have to be a pass for me no matter what. I will say, I recently played through Skyrim and it’s better with the bugs.
