    They took so long to start that all the hype is gone. I’ve got anti-hype, I fully expect to be disappointed. It’s going to suck.

      I thought fallout 4 was pretty mid, which killed any hype I might’ve had for 5. Did not like having a backstory forced on my character.

        Gamer expectations are crazy high. Fall out 4 was objectively a decent game, and you could do nearly anything you wanted in the game and it had branching narratives. Some people will just never be happy.

      Pretty sure the only reason they’re doing it is as a token move for some court order or something. I’m really not interested either. No hype for me thanks. I’d rather have an actual game then the nebulous promise of a game that’s going to be disappointing.

      Starfield was their last shot for me. They fumbled that.

      Genuinely, like, I know where the money went obviously, but what about the shear amount of time they’ve had to make anything, like what the hell was actually happening in that studio honestly

        Endless arguments about a new engine vs even more duct tape on the creation engine. Starfield was a tech demo of their latest updates.

      that just means itll surpass expectations of sucking, instead of disappointing hype for not being perfect

      Just wait until the official reveal and you’ll be back onboard that hype train in seconds.
