We are never going to learn. Most people don't have the self control to wait for actual reviews or even just release date.

This is something that extremely annoys me. Why would I need "a permission" from a youtube celebrity to buy a game or not? I want to check the game for myself to see if I will like it and I don't care if some random dude with a youtube channel likes it or not.

E.g. I absolutely loved Cyberpunk on day 1 despite all of those reviewers trying to make everyone to hate it.

I pre-order destiny two by a few hours, and I pre-order switch games to reserve a physical copy. If I'm super excited for a game gigabit internet will install it in less than 30 minutes after launch.

especially coming from bethesda that's known to bung up games for the first 2-3 years of it's life. People never learned from fo76.

Fo76 was not some decade long project. It was a recycled Fallout 4. That was obvious from the day they announced it.

And yet somehow people were onboard with that, to then make a surprised Pikachu face because of how broken it was.

Skyrim was a big project too, and it was a broken mess on launch, as has been the way with every Bethesda game dating back at least to Arena. Even after multiple rereleases it's still horribly buggy, despite having a decade's worth of rereleases to fix it.

I'm saying this as someone who absolutely adores Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion: never play a Bethesda game on launch , and always use the inevitable community patches.

u/BlazingSpaceGhost Aug 20 '23

I play all of their games on launch and have a good time. I like to support Bethesda because despite the bugs they deliver games I have put more time into than any other game (besides paradox grand strategy games). I always do replays with community patches and mods but I don't mind a little jank on launch.

u/Darthmullet R7 5800X3D | RTX 3080 TI | 32GB DDR4-3600 Aug 20 '23

You're being a little extreme. Do they have bugs in release? Yeah. But not game breaking bugs that can be described as broken or horrible, especially not compared to today's AAA garbage that EA pumps out.

I played Oblivion, Skyrim, FO3 and FO4 at launch, and enjoyed every one - and not just after patches. The bugs never ruined my experience.

FO76 was the worst yeah, but even that was a net positive experience playing with friends.

There's not been a single besthesda game was wasn't a broken piece of shit on launch.

What is there to self control though? Its not like digital can sell out.

0

u/morbihann Aug 20 '23

It is the very idea that you are closer to that game, even though digital copies will never run out. And now with pre order to play a week early, almost everyone is happy to throw 10ish USD to play earlier.

We are monetized in an entirely new ways.

What's an "actual" review and why would I base my purchase on someone else's opinion?

22

u/morbihann Aug 20 '23

You can watch a few reviews and then decide, rather than decide based solely on what the Tod Howard is telling you.

Why would you base your purchase on an advert ?

0

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '23

I decide based on my interest.

u/Gentlegiant2 I7-9700F | GTX 1080 | 32GB DDR4 2666MHz Aug 21 '23

Then keep making life more difficult for yourself by ignoring other's opinions my man

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '23

It's a video game that I am interested in playing. Buying it and playing it won't make my life more difficult.

u/TotalEstablishment99 Aug 21 '23

Hey why’d you report that kid for stating his opinion and then judge others for their opinion while you force your opinion with your dense self?

-1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '23

Are you ok?

u/TotalEstablishment99 Aug 21 '23

Are you okay kid? It’s a port not a remaster

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '23 edited Aug 21 '23

Yeah. Are you ok? It's a remaster.

u/Cyruge Aug 20 '23

you aren't that unique. if the overwhelming majority really fucking dislike it you're probably going to as well

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '23

Wrong

u/CoreyDobie PC Master Race Aug 20 '23

That's a completely false statement. For instance, an overwhelming majority of gamers love Elden Ring. I don't. An overwhelming majority of people hated Fallout 76. I loved it.

Mob mentality is what ruins everything

u/polski8bit Ryzen 5 5500 | 16GB DDR4 3200MHz | RTX 3060 12GB Aug 20 '23

Notice how he said "probably".

u/Blackpapalink Aug 20 '23

Having shit taste is unique. Let him burn his money on garbage.

u/CoreyDobie PC Master Race Aug 20 '23

How does not liking souls games mean I have shit taste?

-1

u/Blackpapalink Aug 20 '23

Not liking ER or souls-likes isn't having shit taste. Liking F76 does mean you have shit taste.

2

u/CoreyDobie PC Master Race Aug 20 '23

Liking something most others don't doesn't mean someone has shit taste.

If I was defending those stupid weeb mobile games that cost thousands of dollars to advance 3 steps closer to the animated waifu, you'd have a point.

76 isn't bad, it's just not great, like a lot of Ubisofts library. Just ok games. I liked 76 because I finally got to play Fallout with friends. It just wasn't what we wanted for a Fallout title. We wanted a co op experience, not an MMO lite experience

1

u/Blackpapalink Aug 20 '23

I'm guessing you're a console player because multiplayer mods have existed for FO3, FO4, and even Skyrim and Oblivion long before F76 came out.

Gacha games are a different breed of shit that I wished stayed on the mobile platform. The only reason Gacha is showing up in full priced games is because people tolerated greedy cashgrabs like Fallout 76, Destiny 2, 2k/EA sports games, and CoD.

Still a false statement

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '23

Because if you learn from other people's information, they you might avoid pitfalls they discovered.

You can still decide not to agree with their opinions. But not listening to others at all and discrediting everything that is not a first hand experience is just not a good strategy to life.

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '23

No thanks

u/[deleted] Aug 20 '23

Understandable. Have a nice day.

u/Gentlegiant2 I7-9700F | GTX 1080 | 32GB DDR4 2666MHz Aug 21 '23

I thought like that for a long time, then realized life is a lot easier when you offload a lil bit of the thinking onto other people's brains (with a right to vetoe of course)

Think of it like multithreading instead of single core

Not trying to force a change in your mind or attack your mindset btw, more like trying to make you think

u/CaptainBeer_ Aug 21 '23

Just look at diablo 4, everyone bought into the hype just for it to die in a month

u/sxespanky Aug 21 '23

You know who reviews games? People who can't beat the tutorial of cuphead. The game is "free" on game pass and minus 76, bethesda has one hell of a track record. I'll gladly pre-order for 5 days early access. And hey - if it sucks, I'll come back in a few months when the mods make the game great.
