Are we finally not letting them slide on the "they make open worlds and I can pick everything up so it's ok that their games are a mess" excuse now? I hope so.
A crap ton of great games are very mod friendly too, so the whole "mods will fix it so it's ok" excuse has been dead for like 12 years.
Sorry I'm ranting. -Former Bethsoft fanboy that expects the worst.
Hello friend. I'm also a recovering Bethesda fanboy. I absolutely refuse to be excited about upcoming spacegame until I see reviews and real gameplay footage.
I will not be burned like I was with Fallout 76 and Redfall.
In the defense of Bethesda. They didnt develop redfall simply published it, that fuck up is on arkane. As for 76 I honestly think that is its own weird little income generator, that is to say its a cash grab.
I will probably be buying starfield, but that has more to do with the fact I want to form my own opinions before reviewers get in on it.
They didn't make Redfall.
But yeah I'll be watching actual gameplay videos before I give them full price for the space game. That direct they did looked pretty bad to me. The characters were stiff with bad facial animations, and the jokes they were highlighting were so flat it was painful to watch. I definitely do not trust thier word when it comes to the RPG elements.
Looks like they got a new animator finally at least.
Fully aware they didn't make Redfall.
I'm also a recovering Arkane fanboy... Breaks my brain that the same studio that produced Prey can release something as uninspired and half baked as Redfall
