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.
Nah, I think you’re way overblowing this. Starfield is going to be a success, it’ll be the least buggy release they’ve ever had and people will love it. Monetization? Sure. 30fps? Yeah that’s standard for consoles. It’s not going to be a perfect game, it’s just going to be a damn good one. Enjoy it in the sea of mediocrity we have right now
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.
Patient gamers unite!
It’s on Gamepass, I literally lose nothing from trying it day one whether it’s pants or brilliant.
I think it’ll be just like every other release. If it’s not absolutely perfect people are gonna shit all over it, but the reality will be that it’s fine. There’s no such thing as a perfect game. Either play and enjoy it or don’t. It’ll be on GamePass day one, so your monetary investment in trying it doesn’t have to be $70. Hell, you can probably find a free trial somewhere to try it with. So who cares if it’s not perfect or not. I bet just like all of their other games it’ll be a load of fun.
