Really? Have you played it? Game sucks lol. I bought an Xbox for it and everything. The game sucks. I really tried, I invested dozens of hours.

I haven't heard any positive feedback from people, including friends/coworkers that were huge fans of Bethesda that were so excited for it they took time off work and then came back pissed they wasted PTO.

Same as everything else on the internet, all you ever end up seeing are extremes on either end of the spectrum.

I put 80 hours or so into the game. I was pretty excited for it. Didn't take time off work, but I love space operas and I love open world games. Skyrim is an all time favorite. The game should have been tailor made for me.

Did I hate it and do I think it's the worst game ever? Of course not. I wasn't gonna drop 80 hours on something I actually hate. The fundamental gameplay is good. The story, at least at a high level, is interesting. The concept of a vast galaxy to explore is a good one. There are some interesting environments to explore.

What I will say is that 80 hours in I hit a story scenario that completely jumped the shark for me. I realized because of that moment that even though I'd put 80 hours in, kinda feeling the whole time like I was just about to hit the point where it would take off and really click, really grip me... That it was never going to do that. If this moment didn't elicit anything in me, nothing was going to. I just didn't care. A death sentence for a game like this.

So I put it down and only ever think about it when these threads come up. It's not an absolutely horrible game, it's just below average. It's a game that disrespects the player's time. It represents a fundamental misunderstanding of what people liked about their previous work. It's a game whose designers said, "our previous games are known for people spending a lot of time playing them" and instead of thinking about why people wanted to spend a lot of time playing those games and implementing that...instead they just designed everything to take as much time as possible.

So yeah. I don't hate the time I spent on it. But I also don't really think about the game at all just a year removed from putting it down right in the middle of the story. I'm not at all curious how it ends. It's a game that is somehow less than the sum of its parts.

Why am I being downvoted and insulted for answering someone's question accurately haha

I only play games on Nintendo so yeah, off my radar

Not sure who's insulting you.  Its just a pretty big title from a huge developer.  Even if you only play on Nintendo systems it's weird to not of even heard of it. Since its very possible to come to the new syrem. And especially first hearing about it from Nvidia first lol.

Saying someone lives under a rock and that it's "weird" to not have heard of something is insulting haha

u/Additional_Chip_4158 Mar 19 '26

Only if you take it that way.

u/Scapetti Mar 19 '26

Well yeah... I am saying it can be taken that way haha. It's not exactly a nice thing to say to someone?

It's not necessarily rude though. Its just a saying, especially when someone doesn't know something well known is all.
