      In two years they can get the award for “best ongoing game” then, just like Cyberpunk :D

        God, what a dick sucking award. Cyberpunk may be playable now, but it did fuck all to deserve that.

        Better games launched excellent and got better with age. Launching to get removed from online stores and taking years to reach playable is not the best ongoing anything.

          It truly was a Great Gamer Gaslighting after that anime was released. Suddenly, cyberpunk was a work of art and everyone wanted to revisit it to see places from the anime. They hadn’t even done much to fix it yet at that point, and may even have still been dealing with legal stuff from all the stuff they promised that wasn’t in the game.

          The PR turn around with that game was wild to watch, it happened almost overnight. And Gamerz TM did it to themselves.

      Thank corporate morons forcing devs to the door to meet ridiculous timelines, they don’t give a fuck if it’s ready or not.

      I’m a SWE and my manager would tell me shit like “even Apple pushed out the iPhone with some bugs”, “at some point you have to wrap it and ship it”, etc. Mgmt uses this bullshit to feel better about their (or their bosses) poorly balanced priorities and decisions.

      It’s all about announce early, bag as much interest and money as possible and then ship it regardless if it’s reached the definition of done or not (you better believe mgmt will throw those goalposts around as they see fit)

      Pre-ordering morons hold some blame here as well as they play right into the bullshit I’m talking about

    Glad to see they’re still improving it. When I get the Ultra Game of the Year Turbo Deluxe edition for $20 in years to come, I no doubt will enjoy it.

    I haven’t bought Starfield, was waiting for sub-$25. If there are no mods, I’m lowering that to sub-$10.

    It’s nice Bethesda wants to pull a Cyberpunk, but Starfield at it’s core just isn’t as good. I’m all for some redeeming updates though, because at least there would be something to come back to

    I mean, the only thing that’s really needed is the standard access to the creation kit. After that, I think modders can polish it up to competency, although flying to planets might be outside the abilities of the engine. I think anyone still hoping Starfield is going to be a good space game need to stop dreaming and go back to Elite/No Mans Sky/Waiting for Star Citizen, but there were some really elaborate mods for New Vegas and Skyrim back in the day. Maybe someone dedicated and talented enough could even fix that.

      The trick is that they want paid mods so they can do nothing and get a decade of profit. Consider that many of the mods on Nexus have millions of unique downloads.

      Even if they charge 3 bucks a mod and get a third of it, that’s tens of millions of dollars with zero effort on their part.

      But the primary issue is that the current modding framework they’re pushing onto Skyrim doesn’t support framework mods, so none of the big mods Skyrim is known for, and have kept it alive so long, could happen.

        Peter Molyneux is not involved with the project or studio so there’s actually a chance we might have both reasonable expectations and promises delivered. I had to google around to make sure; initially I was going to link some stuff about how trusting Molyneux is really dumb.

          Instead it’s a title made by a studio that’s about 3 levels removed from the original creators.

    Soooo… they are working with the unpaid modders to make more content they’ll surely charge for.

    SOOOOO glad Sony didn’t buy that garbage.
