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 it doesn't bother you that much

When will they learn that their actions have consequences? Star field is going to be a fucking disaster lol.

I guess there isn't much risk because with Bethesda you always know exactly what a broken mess you're preordering?

But don't go cry to YouTube if it's even worse than you thought.

I don't know if they can reasonably judge the game within the 2 hours frame for refund. (Some game now do a very long shader compilation that can eat 30 minutes of your time.) The tutorial/beginning stage of the game are usually the most polished, but the latter part of the game could become very hollow.

They are going to get themselves cyberpunk'd.

Obligatory 70 bucks is too much for a game comment

This time it will have 64 times the details!

Freelancer is one of my all time favorites along with Privateer…

If only the guy who made both was doing something worthwhile.

As hyped as I am - never preorder!

We're building a Starfield community over at !starfield@lemmy.zip if anyone wants to join.

Stuff like this is the reason game companies continue to release unfinished games, they're breaking even before they even release. Stop pre-ordering games people!

After getting burned by the Oblivion AI "trailer" I won't ever trust Bethesda advertising again. Straight lies.

I'm holding out for some youtube play footage.

Just because Diablo 4 isn't in this statistic :P

I really don’t understand the point of preordering a…. digital release…. The game will literally still be available whether one person buys it or one million…

The bugs might as well be features at this point for those that preorder lmao

won't preorder, but i so do hope that it's gonna be good and worth the wait ...

speaking of space games, how's Everspace 2? I enjoyed the first one and I know the second is not the same at all, but I have an itch and perhaps Everspace 2 could scratch it

I've been buying Bethesda RPGs without waiting for reviews since 2007. They've all had their rough spots but not a single one has disappointed me. Despite their issues I put hundreds of hours into each one and enjoyed them all. I see no reason to think this won't be the same, and have no problem betting $70 on it. I pre-ordered last night on Xbox.
