I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol

Biggest concerning signs:

  1. 30 FPS lock on xbox, there’s no way to spin that positively, absolute fail

  2. Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they’re actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)

  3. Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs

  4. Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol

At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.

    Right? How could anybody still fall for that after the shit show that was Fallout 76? I recently watched a long video with some gameplay footage and Todd Howard giving an interview and most comments were people being absolutely hyped to the bone. I’m sorry for them… They’re going to be so disappointed.

      Fallout 76 is only the most recent, they’ve been like this since… I guess a little after morrowind? As an early adopter of tes (saved my sheckels to buy arena after reading a PC gamer review, did not regret), I was sad to see them go to shit, but to shit they went and it was not recent.

        Man i was there for the older elder scrolls games. Same exact thing minus the internet hype because there was no internet. But they always hyped their games beyond anything reasonable and the end product was a buggy mess. They called daggerfall “buggerfall” back in the day for a reason.

        It is now 30 years of continuous lies and people are still believing it.
