"Unfinished buggy mess" is the consensus I've seen. Some people already beat the game (less than 24hrs) & reported it is "worse than Diablo 4" (oof, shots fired).

Not a surprise: gaming has turned into HUGE business. Timelines and marketing matter more than complete/fun for many developers these days.

I put games like this on my wishlist & wait for the "major patch" release + hefty Steam sale discount. Example: I am now playing Cyberpunk 2077 and loving it. It was an absolute dumpster fire of a release... so much so it tarnished CD Projekt Red's sterling reputation (after Witcher 3 it was thought they could do no wrong).

Bethesda already pulled this shit w/ several of their series, so trust is low.

I (like most) have been following this game's development for years as the premise sounds awesome.

I just....every time i watch gameplay footage the world seems kinda dead to me. Im worried that it'll be vast, slow and mostly empty.

It seems like it could be another gorgeous, empty game.

Don't know what people were expecting then. If it's just the status quo for Bethesda why the outrage? Just seems a bit odd to me is all.

Edit: Cyberpunk 2077 is actually a pretty great example of a game that folks were justifiably pissed about. Completely tanked the reputation of CDPR and I'm not sure they'll ever recover back to where they were. Bethesda, OTOH, is pretty much known for porting the same games they had success with a decade ago in perpetuity.
