Only time I pre order is about a day before launch if reviews come out early so I can preload/get the physical copy on day one.

If something is alright, then it doesn’t have high highs, it is just a plain old 6-7/10. A “pretty alright” game to me would be something with no real highlights, no real low lights.

Like every Nintendo fan.

Zelda was just the same as BOTW. If you liked the first game sure you’ll probably enjoy TOTK. But it fixed none of the numerous issues that many people had with the game, and created a lot more on top.

Not to mention it’s years later and still limited by 2009 tech

I’ve never had a bad experience on release with any of the Bethesda games I’ve played. Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 3, and Fallout 4.

For about 10 years you literally couldn’t play Fallout 3 on PC without a user created mod. Until MS bought them, they still had Windows Live which was broken and stopped you being able to play the game if you were on Windows 7+

Yeah I’m not massively excited by it, it just looks…bland. Bethesda really excel at world building in general and this just looks very generic. I hope to be wrong but I doubt I will be.

There’s like a 50 minute gameplay walkthrough.

Wait for release for sure, always worth doing really and truly.

I don’t agree with this at all. Some of what it does is absolutely fantastic, some is fairly basic. It’s a game of very high highs, but some of the lows bring the game down. The game has improved a lot since launch though, and this xpac seems to improve it a lot more. Nothing’s guaranteed but I’m cautiously optimistic.
