Me debating if Deus Ex will go lower than $6.99

Tbh I would do the same but I'm just going to play with Gamepass. Todd has never disappointed me. You could tell 76 was a cash grab from the B team from miles away. This isn't. I will be playing this shit for years to come. I also played Cyberpunk 2077 on day one and it was a fantastic game, doomposters just love to rant about games they have not played.

I'm not surprised after that in-depth direct. The game looks massive.

But it's Bethesda, so I'm definitely going to wait for reviews.

I'm holding out for some youtube play footage.

Cannot think of one Bethesda game with a smooth launch. You couldn't pay me to preorder it when I can just play something else and come back to it when everything's been patched/modded in a year

Not surprised at all. People can't wait to get their hands on the game.

[–] Izzy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I don't see any reason to pre-order a digital game with infinite supply, but at the same time you could always refund it if turns out terrible. Personally I'd wait awhile if not years before purchasing new games so I can get a feel for how they turned out. 2 hours is not really enough time to grasp a game like this. You would really only determine if it is incapable of running on your computer.

This game looked like trash from the announcement trailer, anyone lining up to pre-order a Bethesda game though, what can you do? Some people want to get their pockets picked.

I wasn't that hyped until the latest showcase but all I could think watching it was that I can't wait to see what modders do with it now.

Am I the only one not excited for this game? It looks boring

[–] LilyIsWasHere@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I want it to be good but my hopes aren't super high. "1000 procedurally generated planets" is a MASSIVE red flag to me, and unless Bethesda pulls off a miracle there's no way that the core gameplay elements won't be spread just as thin as the world is. It's the fundamental issue with "do everything!" games, what motivation is there to play the game with ok space combat, exploration, gunaplay and character writing when I can pick the elements interests me and find games where those are the core focus.

Honestly. It looked vaguely like space fallout. People seem to forget the role mods played and lack of other exciting games at the time older titles released. Todds got mad late-stage George Lucas energy and i dont fall for it for a second.

[–] evev13@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Most of Bethesda's games become much better with mods. This will probably be pretty good in a few years.

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Thats fair - everyone has their own view and idea of fun.

I’m sincerely asking, what looks boring to you?

Was there even a release date announced?

To be fair, I haven't watched the new trailer yet, but I'd never pre-order a Bethesda game. I don't know if I'm even interested in it on release, might wait for mods etc.

I also feel like I remember some of the devs saying they "needed more time because they didn't want to be the next cyberpunk" which honestly doesn't feel like the devs have full faith in their own project? I don't know. Either way, I'm happy to wait and see.

[–] Caffeinated_Capybara@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm starting to get excited about this one now. Although I don't trust Bethesda enough to actually pull the trigger on a preorder. And I still have no man's sky to keep me happy for now.
