Knowing Bethesda it actually went wood and it might never actually reach any precious metal state after years of patches.
Come on Bethesda. Show me you can surprise the world and launch an unbroken game for once. I really really want to be wrong about you.
Oh, they’re prepared. Bethesda already has the “We’re doing our best, the patch is coming soon, all video games launch with bugs” statement ready. The “The bugs aren’t even that bad, gamers are so fucking entitled” statement has already been written as well.
Naturally, they’ve also already written out the heartfelt “Please stop sending us death threats over this” statement, soon to be followed by my personal favorite: the “We were framed” statement, after people inevitably post screenshots showing how all the death threats each developer’s Twitter account gets are identical except for the ones that say “as an AI I cannot send hateful messages”.
I’m already anticipating the articles about the inevitable launch-day patch and mountain of breaking bugs.
Game journalists’ fingers worldwide are twitching in excitement!
I think you mean ChatGPT’s virtual fingers looking at the state of game media today.
Given the quality of Xbox’s recent first party releases I’m not expecting great things from this.
Redfall and Halo Infinite are still very fresh in the mind.
I liked Halo Infinite. The story really took a backseat for the world to just be a big box of combat puzzles, but I found the gameplay and addition of the grappling hook to be supremely fun. It also assured me that Bungie didn’t make it and never will again, but I enjoyed playing it quite a bit
I want to believe Bethesda is gonna drop a good playable game on launch but I know they won’t. I’m better off waiting a year or two for the GOTY edition and the modding community to make a great unofficial bugpatch
@TerminalEncounter tbh, I played Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3 and 4 and Skyrim at launch on Xbox and had hardly any issues.
Skyrim on ps3 here. That wasn’t great
I played Skyrim and Fallout 4 at launch on PC and it was all good. There were bugs, but nothing game breaking and I was able to just enjoy myself without getting bogged down in it.
This is going to make me sound like a simp, but there is no chance this game launches bug free and I don’t really blame Bethesda for that. Its going to be monstrously huge, and playable on multiple disparate platforms. They can’t test everything. As long as they move quickly to fix the ones that break the game, I’m fine with that.
Nah they’ll do what they’ve always do and let modders fix the bugs for them.

Wait, there’s a new Bethesda game dropping tomorrow!?!? I’m proud of myself for just learning about this, I’m gonna have to check it out when I get home on Saturday
It honestly just looks like space fallout
Thanks, Fuckass, for hyping me up with your understated comment
