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?
I’m holding out on starfield. There must be a cyberpunk moment waiting right around the corner because you can’t jam all that in a game and expect it to work too.
Also 80% what’s out there of so called features of this game only exists inside the heads of influencers. That hopium is the real problem.
I tried holding out on armoured core. I couldn’t. Glad I didn’t. Amazing game. Easier then Elden ring but still very clearly a from software title.
People are mad because starfield doesn’t have things they never said they would have. It is not no man sky, but the comparison is going to be hard to shake
No, they’re mad because the developers have a really bad habit of speaking in generalizations that they know will make the fans assume a bunch of shit and then claim it was all their fault later when it turns out none of that exists or works like they heavily insinuated.
“Yeah you can walk around a whole planet!”
If you don’t mind walking back to your ship so you can fly to the next chunk of the planet since there’s seemingly no mechanic to “call in” your ship and the terrain will eventually block you with invisible walls.
It’s not the lack of features, it’s the developers willing to let the players invent things in their heads until release day when it inevitably comes crashing down.
Just Starfield. They keep making statements that, as a long time Bethesda fan, sound ridiculous. Tell me lies, tell me sweet sweet lies, Todd. I would like to be pleasantly surprised, but I am reserving judgment for the actual release of the game.
Remember when Todd went on stage and spent 5 minutes joking about the “tell me lies” memes before lying his ass off to sell the steaming pile of shit that was Fallout 76?
I bet he’s laughing his ass off at all the Starfield preorders, cupping his hands together like a Saturday morning villain and preparing to drink the tears of his customers - Granting him eternal youth.
Diablo 4. I’m gonna wait quite a while for this one I think. Firstly I’m not willing to pay the price it is right now but mostly because the game needs to get better. It took a long time for Diablo 3 to turn in to a decent game.
Starfield. I’ll definitely be giving this one at least a year, probably more. I’m expecting it to be riddled with bugs at release, possibly even borderline unplayable.
Personally I can’t wait to play Starfield so I can explore the same caves as in Fallout and Skyrim, and watch the familiar NPC animations they’ve used for fifteen years while paying $70 for the privilege of main quest breaking bugs
Bought Diablo 4 because how impressed I was at their Stress Test.
It’s okay and I go through bouts of Buyers Remorse and “Well Blizzard games rarely go on sale”.
I loved Diablo 2. And thought Diablo 3 expansion was pretty fun and arcade-y, but not what I wanted. Diablo 4 is right between the two but it just doesn’t suck me in for hundreds of hours. And I should have known. D2’s & D3’s expansion was when the game went real good. And maybe the same will happen for D4.
Hate to say it, but wait for PoE2.
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.
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.
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)
They literally said that?
