The game we should have had at launch is one where my >100h save wouldn’t make it crash on load.

DLSS doesn’t fix a broken game loop

How is the game loop broken?

Epicmulch,

Everyone says everything is “broken” now. The game loop absolutely works so it’s not broken Yet it is flawed.

Yeah, they could’ve done better with the New Game+ for sure, which to me isn’t exactly surprising since it’s their first main line game to have it.

I do appreciate that there are considerable differences to the story on certain replays, but it’s a slog doing basically the same thing every time. I wish there was a bit more variance.

The flying between or into planets/loading screen issue, I think, is entirely due to the pressure from management announcing early, and then a rush to meet the original deadline, and then another rush to meet the Microsoft mandated delay. Fixing it could’ve been worth it, but it would’ve certainly taken an uncertain number of months, which wasn’t worth it to management or microsoft.

I do think it will be remembered fondly eventually just like every other mainline Bethesda game has been, though.

c10l,

Funnily enough, this is the first time a game’s NG+ actual felt compelling to me with how it’s actually part of the story and the workings of the universe.

Did you try to play stealth my guy. And how much god damn work do I have to put in, how much useless crafting do I have to do so I can just put a silencer on my gun come on man if this doesn’t mean broken what does.

It’s “come on” or “c’mon”, not “common”.

ObviouslyASquid,

Thanks, I guess. I’ll edit.

Sorry, hadn’t intended to come off rude. :(

Yeah, my first build was a stealth character, I did it just fine. You’re mostly likely specing your builds wrong for stealth or wearing a million pounds of armor clanking around thinking you’re being stealthy. There’s specific armor pieces meant for stealth, which also help a ton.

The weapon modding isn’t broken. If you find a gun with a suppressor, you can take that off and put it on the same model as yours. I don’t think needing a skill/crafting to make a whole suppressor warrants the game being called broken.

Starfield had a lot of issues, and the mid asf performance was a relatively minor one.

This is why we need more unions.

Did they finally release modding tools? Bethesda games without mods are such a slog and Starfield was worse than any previous one.

Menus the game?

Sigh. All these publishers are doing by rushing games out the door is training future buyers to not want to buy games on release.

phillaholic,

Sales figures keep going up so why would they wait?

Caradoc879,

Exactly. It was on games pass and it was still the most profitable release Bethesda has ever had. Why put in real effort when you don’t have to?

phillaholic,

People are even paying more to play it early, what are you talking about.

Potatos_are_not_friends,

There’s always a disconnect between gaming communities and reality.

Like how many boycotts did we have, and then the sales figures say differently?

Reports have also suggested TimeSplitters studio Free Radical is facing closure.

Well, there goes all my hopes and dreams.

Such a great game. If you have never played it you really should

Most interested in HDR. Game was super washed out and it was so distracting I stopped playing. Did it improve?
