  Well not too much for Starfield. Back when they announced it they were comments about how their engine isn’t good enough to pull off the things they were promising. It’s why I didn’t pre-order it.

    i expected bethesda graphics and gameplay, which were always meh after skyrim

    what i didn’t expect was the pointless boring in fact fucking tedious everything else involved in playing a video game– wtf is this fetch quest about talking trees? go talk to this guy, and then go talk to that guy, and then and then and then– what a fucking let-down.

    don’t worry i learned my lesson. i’ll never buy another bethesda title unless a year has passed and it still has a minimum ‘very positive’ rating. maybe not even then. fuck bethesda

    I got it as soon as I got a GPU that could comfortably run it… because it was bundled with said GPU. I did activate the key but never bothered to actually install it. Maybe later in case the handful of modders actually make something cool in there.

    I was kinda interested before launch, hoping that this would be the game to finally force them to meaningfully overhaul the engine they’ve been carrying around since Morrowind (with some bugs dating back to then). Of course it wasn’t and of course they didn’t.

    Imagine needing reasons not to pre-order. I bet you pay more than €30 for games too…

      Is that supposed to be some sort of personality failing?

        Paying 60 dollars for modern shit AAA games is a personality failing in my book. As well as preordering any game.

        Early access is borderline acceptable under certain conditions.

    Starfield is the Song that Never Ends from Barney.

    Monotonous, boring, annoying, loops back into itself, overstays its welcome, may potentially drive you insane with too much consistent exposure.

  They weren’t excited for Diablo 4 for the world and story, though.

    yes, as a huge ultima nerd, i was excited for UO. after spending hours barely being able to do anything because of my 386 PC and 14.4 dialup speed, and then getting killed because of all the lag and losing everything, i said i guess i don’t have the money to play this game, and left it

    but that wasn’t bethesda– still origin at that point

      It ain’t even Bethesda’s now. EA bought them, not Bethesda, or ZeniMax, or Microsoft.

        there was some point in the not too distant past where i said “ok, everything is bullshit now” and stopped paying attention. ultima is EA now? ok. fuck EA, and fuck ultima

    UO was pretty popular and good up until EA bought Origin in 2004.
