I will say once more. Do not preorder video games. It could be shit, it could be buggy, but what it won't do is run out of copies. Wait until the reviews are out, or even a bit after it launches if you can. If you're anything like me you have hundreds of games you haven't played yet so what's an hour or a day in the grand scheme of things.

[-] Sneptaur@pawb.social 41 points 2 years ago

It’s a Bethesda game. It wouldn’t feel right if it were bug-free.

[-] pancakes@sh.itjust.works 29 points 2 years ago

It wouldn't feel right if it didn't have the exact same bugs as the last 4 Bethesda releases.

[-] Lesrid@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

If anything is moving backwards through the air, you know it was bolted on to code for Skyrim's dragons

It's also on Gamepass. You can play it instantly for a much lower cost to make sure it works. Then buy it if you still want later when it goes on sale.

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Duh, the reason there's Game Pass on PC is for people to stay on Windows. Microsoft saw the writing on the wall when Valve released SteamOS and scrambled for a way to keep people on Windows.

And it's working for me (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻

Send help.

I was burned too bad with Cyberpunk 2077 that even though Starfield seems to be all right, I'm waiting until after reviews come out before I pick up a copy. That just means I wait a few more days to reduce the risk of more pain.

[-] Lethtor@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 years ago

Cyberpunk also seemed alright, even the reviews were glowing. Well, we all know how that turned out

[-] CitizenKong@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I agree completely and would like to add especially if it's a Bethesda game. I can still remember waiting for half a year for Skyrim to be playable on PS3 after buying it on launch day.

Alpha Centauri +4.37LY

Man, this is some BULLSHIT. Why do the Alpha Centaurians have to wait so long?

[-] vlad76@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 2 years ago

Stupid speed of causality.

Digital downloads only. The throughput is fine, but the latency is terrible.

[-] sl3dge@programming.dev 6 points 2 years ago

A LY isn’t a unit of time…

[-] Chailles@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

Sure it is, hence why it's called a lightYEAR. It's the time that a year passes for one light.

[-] beefcat@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I am disappointed that some people don't seem to get this joke.

And a parsec isn't a unit of distance but that didn't stop Han Solo from completing the Kessel run in fewer than 12.

REMEMBER: NO PRE-ORDERS. Safest bet is to wait a year after any Bethesda release to give modders enough time to fix the game.

It's finally happened ... my 1070 is finally below minimum requirements for a game I want to play. Guess this will be an Xbox only game for me because I am not paying the insane prices for GPUs.

[-] ayaya@lemdro.id 6 points 2 years ago

GPUs are at pretty reasonable prices if you buy used. The 3060 Ti is $237 and it beats the 4060.

[-] beefcat@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

Intel's GPUs are an insane value now that they've got a lot of the driver kinks worked out. Some DX11 games still don't run as well as they would on equivalent Nvidia or AMD hardware, but most newer games are using DX12 or Vulkan nowadays.

Depends on where. In my country there are assholes that still want the equivalent of 300USD for a 2080ti.

Don’t own an Xbox or PC, I’m going to wait until they decide milking money out of an old game > exclusivity and play with the future GOTY edition on a smart refrigerator or a Playdate or whatever other weird platform they repackage it for.

[-] Neato@kbin.social 5 points 2 years ago

You reminded me it's not on PS5. The PC my partner (who might be interested in this) plays on can't handle this. So...guess we won't play it. Oh well.

I'm pretty hyped for this game. I love space RPGS and haven't had something cool since Mass Effect.

[-] Aermis@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

This is Bethesda. There's no way it'll be anywhere near as refined as mass effect.

But that means this will be more fun. I love me some Bethesda bug chaos. And mods.

Is it still 30 fps on Series X? I don't think that's acceptable for a first-person game in 2023.

[-] beefcat@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

You say that, but Immortals of Aveum probably would have benefited immensely from a 30 FPS option.
