    Well not too much for Starfield. Back when they announced it they were comments about how their engine isn’t good enough to pull off the things they were promising. It’s why I didn’t pre-order it.

      Imagine needing reasons not to pre-order. I bet you pay more than €30 for games too…

      i expected bethesda graphics and gameplay, which were always meh after skyrim

      what i didn’t expect was the pointless boring in fact fucking tedious everything else involved in playing a video game-- wtf is this fetch quest about talking trees? go talk to this guy, and then go talk to that guy, and then and then and then-- what a fucking let-down.

      don’t worry i learned my lesson. i’ll never buy another bethesda title unless a year has passed and it still has a minimum ‘very positive’ rating. maybe not even then. fuck bethesda

      I got it as soon as I got a GPU that could comfortably run it… because it was bundled with said GPU. I did activate the key but never bothered to actually install it. Maybe later in case the handful of modders actually make something cool in there.

      I was kinda interested before launch, hoping that this would be the game to finally force them to meaningfully overhaul the engine they’ve been carrying around since Morrowind (with some bugs dating back to then). Of course it wasn’t and of course they didn’t.
