      Like at least find out if the planets are any good first and not just 2000 procedurally generated flavors of bear asses to collect.

      Hopefully there’s a whole RPG game in there and those are just side stuff to muck around and get some loot.

        Basically, preordering incentivizes companies to release games that are not finished. In general, companies will always maximize revenues while minimizing costs. If they can release a game that didn’t cost them as much to produce (getting massive preorders through good marketing but pinching development and quality) then they absolutely will. look at any AAA released this year

    Wish people would wait to see what the game is actually like rather than blindly trusting a corporation… Consumerism sucks

    Preordering is dumb, preordering in 2023 when it’s 50/50 whether any given PC port is going to be a total mess is dumb

    Another proof for publishers that they only need big promises and nice trailers to sell their game, nevermind the state they ship it in

    I don’t really get how people’s problem with Bethesda is bugs and glitches, which are completely solvable, and not the writing that makes you want to remove some brain tissue from your skull so that it doesn’t bother you that much

      Id guess that 76 was a big catalyst in that.
      Since it was an online game you couldn’t load community patches,
      so people where kinda forced to stare it in the face.

      In addition to that, the perception of AAA games kinda shifted in general.

      From Blockbusters with incredible production value, to overhyped and unfinished bug ridden messes.

      So Bethesda gets lot more flak now for having so many bugs, even tho almost none are game breaking
