Bethesda published are usually not as bug ridden as their developed titles

that's where the bugs are
I do think they'll be more prepared with Starfield

My opinion: IGN shouldn't be judged as a whole. While I don't watch/read many of their reviews, I've noticed varying qualities. Some are good, some are bad. Some of their crew are respectable and good at their jobs
not taking the rating system into account though. sometimes it's just weird to put a numbered review on something, as it doesn't really affect whether or not I'd actually enjoy the game.
Truth: Once anyone gets big enough, people will inevitably dislike and show toxicity toward them.

Death loop is pretty fun

zenimax makes deathloop?
Yes and no. ZeniMax owns Bethesda which owns arkane. Arkane made the game, Bethesda published it.
So, Arkane is owned by Bethesda which is owned by ZeniMax Media, which is owned by Xbox.
wary rapids
also zenimax shuttered after the buyout

Not a good idea.

Well, again, they can't report directly to Xbox.
It's basic corporate hierarchy.
Someone, who isn't Xbox, needs to run the day to day for those 8 studios.
cinder vessel
let's get greg to do it
wary rapids
Those companies that are under ZeniMax Media also have their own seperate studios as well.
Bethesda alone has 3 studios + arkane, which has. Their own set of studios.
I take it back.
Apparently arkane split from Bethesda.
It's a standalone company now.
But you get the point.

@austere lancebtw, don't know that MASS Builder will ever come to Xbox, but if it does & it stays as it is now, I don't think you'd like it very much.
The very first real mission has an end boss fight that is just bleh. Bullet sponge with lots of adds running around, and it lays down area of effect blasts like it's trying to play some sorta bullet hell thing

2 tapped across the map and its over
tho i will say this the game ran great never hitching always in the 160htz mark so long as you have nvidia highlights disabled
there really isnt any other game out there running on the same engine that runs that buttery smooth
austere lance
So it's like a....halo meets portal type of thing?
It's an old school arena shooter where everyone has Portal guns strapped to their wrists to use alongside normal guns. Honestly feels more like Unreal and Quake than Halo. Maybe Halo CE, at most
winter yew
even then the og xbox release of halo ce ran on id tech 3 for the multiplayer and the rest (future re-releases included) ran on their bang engine then to whatever 343 used which i can not remember
so for it to fell like quake really isnt all that far off

Bethesda releasing a buggy game? I don't believe it.
No one could have predicted this
Completely unprecedented.
austere lance
Arkane, not BGS. BGS is the buggy one. Arkane doesn't usually do this
thorn dawn
I see, so they're the judean people's front, not the preoples front of judea:)
austere lance
.....sure, lol
Let's just lump the people who made Dishonored in with the people who made Fallout 76 ๐
Bethesda is Arkane's publisher. That doesn't automatically make Arkane masters of buggy hell like BGS
thorn dawn
I mean this came up with the previous buggy mess that was published by Bethesda. Arkane are also owned by ZeniMax. I'm perfectly happy to lump them all in together because they're all the same company.
ZeniMax and Bethesda set the deadlines, and have the go/no go decision on release.
austere lance
They're separate studios that make very different games, lol. They're just owned by the same overall company. BGS are the masters of the buggy bs we've all been making memes of for the last decade, Arkane are the guys who make games like Dishonored and Prey and definitely don't deserve to get compared to BGS
thorn dawn
Maybe if they don't want people to judge them they shouldn't release buggy games ๐
These are companies that exist to make money. They're not our friends.
austere lance
Yes the pc port of Deathloop has been iffy, but so far it's looking like a Denuvo issue causing FPS drops. If it was a BGS game it'd be actual buggy hell with dragons flipping through walls ๐
thorn dawn
They studio and the publisher have made the conscious decision that they like money more than waiting for the game to be ready.
I mean, can you imagine if Ford made a new car, and 5 minutes after literally everyone drove it off the forecourt the wheels fell off.
Then told everyone it'd be gradually fixed a wheel at a time over the coming 6 months.

if i like nms, would i like star citizen or elite dangerous?
to clarify, the exploration aspect is my favorite and i want to see more rp elements in it
well neither of those games have the planetary exploration that NMS does
Worlds Of The Future is looking very promising.
Might be worth keeping eyes on that.
Yeah i'll be keeping an eye on that
cinder vessel
if i like nms, would i like star citizen or elite dangerous?
if you don't mind a much heavier simulation approach with weirdly specific controls & such, maybe? But both are worlds apart from NMS' more streamlined approach.
Despite the lack of flying about in space & planetary fauna (last I checked), I'd be far more inclined to recommend Astroneer as a NMS alternative. It nails the proc-gen planetary exploration, in some ways I'd argue better than NMS, and has its own approach to basebuilding where the base serves a stronger gameplay role & purpose compared to NMS

i got the free copy from Epic awhile back & tried to play Elite: Dangerous without changing any of the controls, to see how they might be given what i've heard, and I don't care how many bindings a game has if it plays reasonably well, but omg do they try to treat the mouse like something it absolutely is not

Changing the preset makes it so you roll with Q and E and yaw with mouse left and right

Yeah, i'd imagine so, but that told me all I needed to know right there, that if after all this time they can't be assed to get the defaults in a good spot, there's gonna be a lot of not assing going around probably, lol

Star Citizen's been in Alpha for years, despite having millions in funding and a fairly large development team. It also continually asks players to buy stuff that's not even in the game yet. Sure, you might enjoy the magic at first - provided you can even run the game or run it bug-free.
Elite Dangerous peaked in the Horizons DLC, now it's getting less and less support. All their major updates of late have been a mess, including Odyssey. Buggy as hell, withdrawing VR support, performance issues out the wazoo. Nevermind that you're not actually free to do whatever you want, as advertised, at least not without costing you, there's always a money-making meta being changed. Exploration wise, you can be excited with some vistas and some nice planet topography but that's about it. Nothing to the scope of NMS.
Buying either at their current state is honestly being scammed, but the decision - and money - is yours.
austere lance
Elite works surprisingly well on a controller, ngl. Too bad the game is shite, lol
winter yew
star citizen looks cool but the name is dumb so idc
no buy
The tech is genuinely impressive, just lacks the game part. Even the pick up quests in the game are buggy AF.
Many times I picked up a parcel and then mid flight the physics suddenly decided that the package should be vibrating and in turn stop my ship from taking off from the planet and just crashing in to the ground.

Sure but it's a successful strategy which in itself weirdly deserves credit for being successful.
Earning tons of millions on millions and still getting investors on an alpha version. Marketing is clearly 110%.

Sure but it's already earned $1bn and it's nowhere near ready to release yet.

They literally don't need to release the product they are marketing. They can't fail at this point.
It's bullshit, I agree.
But hey, it worked out for them.

The reason it was so successful was because of the failure of NMS. That's not even a joke, that is literally what happened.

And good for them they got suckered into the biggest crowdfunded scam ever
Star Citizen at the time was being marketed as the game that them players hoped NMS to be. The marketing was hitting the points that made people angry with NMS.
It's weird to me though.
As you say, folk complaining about NMS launch go jump on an alpha.
cinder vessel
Imagine being so upset with a game you can play that you go to a game that you literally may not even be able to play due to being incomplete
Baffling
winter yew
Star citizen to me is like yandere sim. It will never finish development.
It's going to end up eating itself anyway.
The tech it uses really is impressive and I'll forever say that but we are already seeing other studios/developers implementing their own versions of what Star Citizen has.
There will 100% be another studio that uses very similar tech and does it better.
Epic already implemented the "infinite" polygons in to Unreal 5, meaning literally any game dev can use that tech.
