Just like i said when it was announced
Bethesda is a shitty game dev studio.. lol
Shitty can still be successful.
I mean, McDonald's is still around too. Doesn't mean it's quality food.
I had McDonalds a couple times when I was in Japan and the difference in quality was shocking. Twice as good for half the price. You can get a big mac meal with a large fry and milkshake for like 950 yen (about 6 bucks)
I never watched any trailer because i assumed that's what the game will be like. But after watching some gameplay, it's somehow worse. Some things look really good, it has these trailer moments. But some textures for example are straight up 480p. A part of me thought that they learned from fallout 4 or fallout 76, but that's not how you print money, right?
The fact alone that the UI is laughably bad, is just one thing, but the loading times, in a game where you spend so much time opening and closing your inventory shouldn't be accepted, ESPECIALLY since a modder fixed their UI on day one. But SOMEHOW there are people out there defending that bullshit. If i would care for Bethesda games and spending ours collecting space trash, i'd be livid. Their next game i 6 years will still be just a bit better looking than skyrim.
The thing that really gets me is that the game can't run on a normal HDD. Despite being as sectioned off as it is by loading screens, and the graphics being pretty standard for a modern AAA game, it literally requires an SSD to run.
The only other game I've encountered that requires an SSD is Baldur's Gate 3, and even that runs perfectly fine on a normal HDD, so long as you don't mind occasionally waiting for stuff to load in after a loading screen.
The game they published before this one was Redfall so I went into this release expecting that
