Is this the part where I refer to people worried about pre-orders as "basement dwelling losers having nothing in their lives worth caring about other than whether other people pre-order games" and then we trade insults for a few comments trying to get the last word until one of us gets bored?
I mean, that's what we would like do on Reddit, but not sure if that's the case around these parts.
Always important to remember that lots of opinions people are posting online are just things they read somewhere and are repeating.
The people that preorder clearly aren’t listening
Or they are listening and just don't care.
Why are people preordering a DIGITAL, BETHESDA game?! It’s still the Creation Engine (Creation Engine 2 so hopefully they fixed it!) so it’s probably gonna be a buggy mess at release.
Unlike most online gaming communities, there are many people in the world that enjoy playing video games. So, when they see a game that looks fun to play, they buy it or pre-order it.
Sure, but consider the specific situation we have in gaming where Microsoft is sitting in a distant third to Sony and Nintendo. Aren't any limitations placed on how Microsoft can grow in the gaming market just making it easier for the bigger players to cement their positions in the lead?
Kingdom Come is a solid game, but it's also still a very narrow game compared to Skyrim. You play as a specific character and the "sandbox" nature of the game is much more limited.
It's more like the Witcher where you can roleplay slight variations on one person, rather than Skyrim where you can role-play as a vast array of potential characters.
Windows and IE was an issue was an issue because of monopoly concerns when it came to the PC OS market and browsers.
Are you concerned that Microsoft will have a monopoly in the console gaming market if the Activision deal goes though?
Open world games like Skyrim are hard to make, and modern expectations are making them even harder.
People are shitting on Bethesda for taking so long, but no other developer has managed to make a worthy competitor in the decade+ since Skyrim released.
Yeah that's the part I'm waiting to hear more about. The first one just felt like no decisions needed to be made other than what you wanted your city to look like. And if course, as you mentioned, where to put roads. But the actual management of the city felt like almost an afterthought.
I think I finally put some real time into the game not long after Wastelanders came out and I really enjoyed the game overall. Put I think roughly 150+ hours into the game at least.
The CAMP system was way more addicting than it has a right to be. To bad do much of the game is behind a cash shop.
An attempt to change the rules/laws to target a specific individual would rightly be seen as an attack on Trump/Republicans.
Scaling up as a game developer (or any software company) is hard, but not "it takes a decade and half a billion dollars" hard.
