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

To be fair, I haven't watched the new trailer yet, but I'd never pre-order a Bethesda game. I don't know if I'm even interested in it on release, might wait for mods etc.

I also feel like I remember some of the devs saying they "needed more time because they didn't want to be the next cyberpunk" which honestly doesn't feel like the devs have full faith in their own project? I don't know. Either way, I'm happy to wait and see.

Me debating if Deus Ex will go lower than $6.99

Obligatory 70 bucks is too much for a game comment

Am I the only one not excited for this game? It looks boring

I want it to be good but my hopes aren't super high. "1000 procedurally generated planets" is a MASSIVE red flag to me, and unless Bethesda pulls off a miracle there's no way that the core gameplay elements won't be spread just as thin as the world is. It's the fundamental issue with "do everything!" games, what motivation is there to play the game with ok space combat, exploration, gunaplay and character writing when I can pick the elements interests me and find games where those are the core focus.

Edit: just notice that's the pre order

I'm holding out for some youtube play footage.

Wish people would wait to see what the game is actually like rather than blindly trusting a corporation.. Consumerism sucks

[–] ViperDC@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I'm not surprised after that in-depth direct. The game looks massive.

But it's Bethesda, so I'm definitely going to wait for reviews.

Cannot think of one Bethesda game with a smooth launch. You couldn't pay me to preorder it when I can just play something else and come back to it when everything's been patched/modded in a year
