I suppose Baldur’s Gate 3 could be an example for a lot of people. Any recent or just “recent” release you are waiting for to get at the moment?
For me is it starfield. I am a bit to hyped up for it. I will try to wait a year or more. Just like I did for cyberpunk and I was hyped for that game since the first trailer haha
if you wait that long then stuff that is still buggy usually have a mod that fix it.
I would wait on Starfield myself and wait for mods, but considering it’s part of gamepass, I see no reason to not give it a fair shake, especially since I have a few more months of gamepass I got gifted. I do however plan on buying the game like a year or two from now (or maybe ten, if Skyrim is anything to go on) on Steam to do another modded playthrough
Is it going to be on the PC version of Game Pass? I was going to wait because that’s a lot of money for me not having much time, but I can probably get behind “renting” it by paying for Game Pass.
Yeah, it is. Apparently you can even get the early access if you really wanted to by just buying the deluxe upgrade and skip buying the base game. I have it pre-downloaded for the main release (no idea if I even have time to play it then)
Same here. Any Bethesda game deserves time to simmer for a good while before playing in my opinion.
This is gonna sound crazy, but I’ve basically played every Bethesda game (except redguard) from release, going all the way back to Arena. I know they have bugs, but they’re not really more buggy on release (or later) than a lot of other games I’d played back then. I agree that we should always be expecting better from game companies that are expecting more profit, but if I compare tES games to my other faves… well, let me use examples.
I love Vampire Bloodlines. Famously fan patched for its extreme bugginess after the studio dissolved. Master of Magic? Yup, fan patched. In fact, I think almost every game I put on my top 20 list has fan patched for major bugs that never got fixed in the full lifecycle of the game.
Are you saying it is fine if it is buggy or that it won’t be worse than other games? Because if starfield that seem to be a lot bigger than cyberpunk has as many bugs as cyberpunk did at release then I won’t be playing starfield for a while.
But at least they patch their games for many years, skyrim even got new editions and special edition got their last bug patch last year. So I am not worried that it will be a buggy mess forever just that I have to wait a bit for it to be good enough to not be immersion breaking. Last thing I want is being frustrated because of bugs.
