Just like i said when it was announced
Bethesda is a shitty game dev studio.. lol
I never watched any trailer because i assumed that's what the game will be like. But after watching some gameplay, it's somehow worse. Some things look really good, it has these trailer moments. But some textures for example are straight up 480p. A part of me thought that they learned from fallout 4 or fallout 76, but that's not how you print money, right?
The fact alone that the UI is laughably bad, is just one thing, but the loading times, in a game where you spend so much time opening and closing your inventory shouldn't be accepted, ESPECIALLY since a modder fixed their UI on day one. But SOMEHOW there are people out there defending that bullshit. If i would care for Bethesda games and spending ours collecting space trash, i'd be livid. Their next game i 6 years will still be just a bit better looking than skyrim.
The thing that really gets me is that the game can't run on a normal HDD. Despite being as sectioned off as it is by loading screens, and the graphics being pretty standard for a modern AAA game, it literally requires an SSD to run.
The only other game I've encountered that requires an SSD is Baldur's Gate 3, and even that runs perfectly fine on a normal HDD, so long as you don't mind occasionally waiting for stuff to load in after a loading screen.
Shitty enough to survive 37 years in an industry that sees multiple studios shuttered every year.
Shitty can still be successful.
They literally live off hype then going quiet long enough for people to forget the disappointment. The older people remember and don't expect much, the middle aged people remember but are hopeful they'll be better (and that the older people are just jaded), and the younger people just fall for the hype.
This is it, this is all Bethesda is now. Constantly recycling suckers through long dev cycles and hype.
I mean, I can't say I've been there since 86, but I've been there since Morrowind and the only time I've felt let down was Fallout 4 and 76 which I didn't even bother with.
Probably just didn't play them enough /s
I actually did play F4 for a good 60 odd hours and completed two of the endings if I remember rightly, I just found it a bit of a step down RPG wise with the simplified stats and conversation. It wasn't bad though. 76 I admit I've barely played, only tried it on Gamepass for an hour or two.
Cant wait for fallout 6 in 8 years
And then another 2 for the game to be complete and fixed by mods
They literally released one of the best games of all time with Skyrim, and their previous titles were pretty damn good as well.
I mean, McDonald's is still around too. Doesn't mean it's quality food.
I had McDonalds a couple times when I was in Japan and the difference in quality was shocking. Twice as good for half the price. You can get a big mac meal with a large fry and milkshake for like 950 yen (about 6 bucks)
The game they published before this one was Redfall so I went into this release expecting that
