I will say once more. Do not preorder video games. It could be shit, it could be buggy, but what it won't do is run out of copies. Wait until the reviews are out, or even a bit after it launches if you can. If you're anything like me you have hundreds of games you haven't played yet so what's an hour or a day in the grand scheme of things.
It’s a Bethesda game. It wouldn’t feel right if it were bug-free.
It wouldn't feel right if it didn't have the exact same bugs as the last 4 Bethesda releases.
If anything is moving backwards through the air, you know it was bolted on to code for Skyrim's dragons
The reviews have mentioned it does actually have an enemy that is this games dragon lol
It's also on Gamepass. You can play it instantly for a much lower cost to make sure it works. Then buy it if you still want later when it goes on sale.
Doesn't work on linux
Duh, the reason there's Game Pass on PC is for people to stay on Windows. Microsoft saw the writing on the wall when Valve released SteamOS and scrambled for a way to keep people on Windows.
And it's working for me (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻
Send help.
No, MS wanted to compete with PlayStation Plus. Linux constitutes about 2% of users on steam. MS doesn't care about Linux gaming and steam OS is no where choose to being a threat to them.
We need a LSW to run the Windows store on Linux as a pacakge manager
Linux isn’t officially supported anyway. That’s like saying it doesn’t work on PlatStation…
They've applied for steamdeck verification
Not through gamepass.
I love my Steamdeck, it’s great. But ultimately, most games aren’t originally designed to be played on there…
I was burned too bad with Cyberpunk 2077 that even though Starfield seems to be all right, I'm waiting until after reviews come out before I pick up a copy. That just means I wait a few more days to reduce the risk of more pain.
Cyberpunk also seemed alright, even the reviews were glowing. Well, we all know how that turned out
I agree completely and would like to add especially if it's a Bethesda game. I can still remember waiting for half a year for Skyrim to be playable on PS3 after buying it on launch day.
