While it’s great news that Bethesda is making an effort to make sure Starfield will run on Deck, I’d still like to recommend that most people wait for performance reports before buying and expecting a good experience.

    Before buying a Bethesda game and expecting a good experience, expect a bad experience instead.

        Bethesda games are always worth waiting for the goty edition or whatever they call it after the expansions have all been released and mods are mature.

      I always go for the game of the year or anniversary editions. Like good wine, Bethesda games need some time.

      Man y’all are so negative

      Just try and enjoy something or let it be

      Not like they’ve made some of the greatest AAA in history or anything.

        I agree to an extent. However, they’ve also been known for releasing buggy ass games before it was popular to do so lol. They’ve also been known for not fixing those problems and just moving on to the next product. Even if the next product is the same game just being resold

        That is also a big part of their history

          I kind of agree with @doppelgangmember but yeah, Bethesda has taken a very apathetic approach to fixing bugs, or even preventing them in the first place. They used the godawful Gamebryo engine for way too long, and their Creation Engine is apparently based on it. Of course they’re on CE2 now, but I have little to no faith that they’ve made any substantial improvements since people will buy their products no matter what.

          To be fair, I really enjoy almost all of Bethesda’s games, which is why I’m so disappointed that they just don’t (seem to) care. I’m definitely waiting for a super duper sale before picking up the game.
