Not what I'm saying. I stopped playing cyberpunk completely due to bugs. I couldn't complete a side mission and separately had a game breaking bug which meant I had to resort to 2hr previous save. I never had anything like that on a Bethesda game (not saying they havent existed for others). But if that exists on Starfield particularly with the delays, platform focus and Microsoft support/money then it deserves any/every criticism it gets.

I am however okay with some jank or weird animation bugs if rare just due to the sheer possibilities in the game. TOTK naturally has strange outcomes and behaviours due to the crazy potential the sandbox offers.

Has to be balance with everything and I'm glad Todd Howard shoots for the moon rather than the safe ubisoft-lite open worlds you get everywhere else.

I somewhat agree, but has anything Bethesda post Skyrim shot for the moon, or anywhere close? I haven't played either Fallout 4 or 76, but my impression is that both games are rather shallow collect and craft-a-thons.

Even Skyrim many argue was dumbed down and unambitious, although I'd argue against that personally. When Skyrim came out with its massive, dense world and amazing atmosphere I felt it was, in some respects, beyond any other game out there. It doesn't seem as though people would say the same about Fallout 4 or 76 in any respect.

Bethesda's last decade is what worries me about Starfield far more than any jank or bugs. Assuming they aren't gamebreaking, I couldn't really care less about that stuff.
 
Persona 3 remake and Persona 5 Tactica were leaked early, both due to be announced on Sunday and will both be coming to Game Pass.


 
Is there a chance we'll see some exciting new RPGs? Next to none I suspect but one can hope.

Probably 3.

Starfield, Avowed and Fable.

Fable, meh. Starfield - already knew about that and it's Bethesda, so writing will be horrible.
Avowed is Obsidian, right? So there's a slight hope for that one.

:lol:

What sort of RPG are you hoping for then? JRPGs?

I guess there's a chance at one of InExile's (Wasteland devs) new games too

The Persona 3 remake and Persons 5 tactics could be there as well if JRPG is his thing. That's not confirmed though.

Well, not expecting new Baldur's Gate (I know a new one is coming) but at least something more exciting like Cyberpunk, which for all its faults, at least wasn't boring as feck like most bethesda titles.

I just need something to propel me through those huge open world games and if the story and writing is shit, I'm quickly done. Gameplay can get me only so far. That's why I couldn't finish BOTW (although in this case it was more the lack of interesting dungeons more than the story, it's Zelda after all, it has no story).

Then why did you dismiss Fable so easily? Playground Games are known for their storytelling and character dialogue.

I know, I just don't like Fable's silly cartoony style. But yes, you're right. Those games are so old now this new one could be something completely different.

Are you sure you know? Playground Games have only developed Forza Horizon games so far.
 
Glad it's being streamed in 4k (only on direct xbox stream)

Footage always looks far better after the event when the 4k version gets uploaded.
