So you need a shit tonne of mods to make this AAA game enjoyable?
The absolute state of AAA gaming nowadays.
So you need to remove entire gameplay segments in order to make this crap somewhat enjoyable? Jesus.
Someone yesterday said they don’t buy Bethesda games because they’re good at launch, instead they buy them because the modding community is so prolific.
Paying $60-70 for a game that requires teams of unpaid volunteers to make it playable after launch.
I bet Bethesda LOVES that guy.
This is why I bought it really. I never expected it to be good. But always enjoy what the community can do.
But doesn’t the mods take time? So buying it on a sale later would be better because it is cheaper then and has more content/the content you want?
Seriously fuck those temples. It already takes two minutes to walk from the ship, and now I gotta spend two minutes floating around in zero G?
TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY TIMES?
All game content and story issues aside, what pisses me of the most is that a month after release, we still only had a microscopic amount of bugfixes that don’t even address some of the larger issues with the game.
I don’t want to bring up BG3 again, but at this timespan after the game release, Larian already fixed THOUSANDS of bugs, big and small and overall, the game was much less obviously buggy than Starfield is. It’s issues were more inconsistencies in logic and a handful of quest breakers, but otherwise not even noticeable until you read the patch notes.
It’s crazy to me there’s so little action from Bethesdas side in fixing this heap. I guess it rolls into their bullshit PR of pushing for Awards (they are literally looking to get a Grammy …) and saying the game is nigh on perfect.
I’d wager technical debt is the reason. It’s no secret that Bethesda’s engine is bad. Bad code makes it harder to do bug-fixes, because it’s harder to find the root cause of things and the risks of having accidental side-effects is far higher. There’s only so many hacks and emergency fixes you can slap into a codebase before it becomes a house of cards that collapses if you breathe on it the wrong way.
Hopefully having MS money will allow them to take the time to learn/create a new engine, it already showed its limits in Skyrim
Yeah because Windows is definitely a flawless product
Might be a shot in the dark here, but a game engine seems like it would be different than an operating system.
Oh
so sorry
You get the “technically correct but missed the point” awardI forgot Lemmy is a continuous Linux circlejerk, my bad.
Right?
I too, was trying to figure out what the fuck this guy was getting at until it hit me that they hate windows so much they can’t stop thinking about it.
You’re the one who brought up Windows where it had no place. They said MS money not MS OS developers.
And the MS OS developers are backed by…?
