That explains why they look that way, it doesn't explain why a AAA game in 2023 was allowed to ship that way, though.
Because Bethesda knows that the modding community will polish the game up for free.
Dude. They already spent two years developing it. What else do you want from them?
They could develop it for eternity like star citizen
I might be about to buy a new PC primarily just to play that. Am I making a mistake?
There's a sucker born every minute. You might want to read up on that "game" before committing any money to it.
Yes. Star Citizen is a scam.
It's not a scam if you buy it and enjoy it for what it is, but it's a scam if you keep putting money into it for features and content that is promised but not delivered.
You can buy Gwenyth Paltrow's goop jade egg and you'll receive it, that doesn't mean it's not a scam.
But that's an obvious scam. I don't already have space-themed PC games stored in my fridge that I can readily shove up my butt.
So you're saying that I shouldn't buy Star Citizen and stick eggs in my butt instead? I don't like your ideas, but you seem like a reasonable person and I can't argue with your logic.
Because based on the amount of sales they've made and the combined player numbers between those and gamepass players, lots of people don't care.
I started gaming on an Amstrad in the late 80s, I've lived though multiple groundbreaking leaps in graphical quality since then and now and frankly, it doesn't impress me anymore, especially with how incremental it's become. I'm more impressed by the scale and world building of Starfield and how all its systems come together than how it's character models look.
I wasn't creeped out by character faces from my Amstrad either.
When you get to the level of realism of Starfield you have to pay attention to the details. If you can't, just pick a different graphical style.
