Yeah… I don’t have high hopes for TESVI. After FO76 and Starfield, they’ve got a lot of trust to win back. I expect it to be the following;
- Slow rise in hype after 2025
- Sharp rise in hype within year of release
- Honeymoon phase for first 5 days after release, criticism drowned out by fan boys
- Collective realization the game is shit with only the most delusional still protecting/coping
That’s basically what happened with Starfield, and unless they prove otherwise, it’s what I expect for TESVI
Same. Indie games and emulators is what I’ve been putting a lot of my time into. I’ve learned that “AAA” studios are a lot like their alkaline counterparts - basically obsolete.
Valheim I agree. I did get a ton of enjoyment out of it on release, so it’s not really a matter of disappointment in the sense of fun per dollar, just disappointment in the glacial pace of updates. My feeling is that the Devs got their bag, then decided to just coast. It makes me wonder that if it didn’t explode in sales at the start, would they have put more effort into updates or would they have just given up. Guess we’ll never truly know
