I think we've all learned our collective lesson at this point (or at least, we should have) not to over-hype games, nor to pre-order them.

I'm going to have to temporarily move in with my dad in October potentially for a few months, should be some decent reviews in by then so I'm looking forward to killing time with this game!

The people who have "learned" "the lesson" are a loud minority. The vast majority of consumers will put money wherever they feel like it, philosophy be damned.

Reminder it’s on gamepass!

Thanks. I think I had GP a while back just to play AC: Valhalla, so I won't get a cheeky deal... I'll probably buy it on GOG, as it seems like it's not going to be the sort of game I complete within a month or two, I prefer to 'own' a game than rent it once I'm satisfied it's for me.

It will be a few years before it's on GOG, so it really depends how patient you are. Fallout 4 only appeared on there a week or two ago to give you a frame of reference.

Oh dang. thanks for the headsup. Will it not be on steam day1?

[–] BadlyDrawnRhino@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago

It'll be on Steam day one, yeah.
