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.

[–] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

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.

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

[–] Squeak@lemmy.world -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Linux isn’t officially supported anyway. That’s like saying it doesn’t work on PlatStation…

[–] Voyajer@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They've applied for steamdeck verification

[–] Squeak@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Lethtor@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 year ago

Cyberpunk also seemed alright, even the reviews were glowing. Well, we all know how that turned out

[–] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

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.
