Biggest Exit Scam of 2025...

[Mark]

People really got into the early hype of this game and hoping that bugs and performance issues would be fixed or any form of update would come. But here we are more than a month after launch and not a single update... Bethesda sheep falling once again for Todd Howard's easy bait lure. When will you learn.

I think it's great personally, but not everyone can enjoy and appreciate such a gem of a game.. I get it

"When will you sheep learn" said the guy with the mouse icon next to his handle.

[ebolaconundrum]

La, la, la.

OK im going to carry on enjoying playing the game just fine now.

[Tivz]

Ignore this guy, spend your points awarding me instead

I didn't fall for the hype and played it on my infinite gamepass, then decided it was a skip.

After seeing MH:Wilds you should have known better.

You should also have known, when seeing so many influencers and others like "games news organisations" shill for this product, that it meant that the developers aren't worried about criticism.

Can't play the game? So what. You bought it and they got your money and there isn't a single thing you can do.

Oh, gonna complain on social media? So what? You won't get the attention of the video games media or influencers -- they've all shilled for the game and brought it universal acclaim.

Going to complain here? So what? You can complain here all you want, but your influence is still limited and people will still buy the game even with a low rating, because influencers are shilling it like MH:Wilds.

The situation is actually worse than MH:Wilds because this game has an original version that runs better, arguably looks better, costs cheaper, can be bought without DRM, has more mods, and even has more content that wasn't "cut" or "censored" -- and better physics!

The older one is literally superior in every way and the "authentic" experience, unless you like the "graphics" here which literally took an opposite direction from the original and became a soulless husk of what Oblivion really was.

But we don't need to go there, and stay on topic: this game isn't going to get fixed because there isn't any incentive to do so.

No financial incentive -- sold more than expected.
No social incentive -- no one is criticising the game; no one that matters.
No shareholder pressures -- they are getting paid from the record sales.

Nothing to make them do so.

Next time, when you hear a game is broken, don't fall for the influencer trap and take complains seriously because if not, you may be stuck with an overpriced disappointment when you could have got it from the bargain bin.

Zero issues on my 4090 24G/7950x3d/64 gig 6400. High fps, zero crashes in 70+ hours.
Bugs? a few, nothing game breaking.

So no, the game is not a scam. I dare to say it does not even need an urgent performance patch, most people having issues is because they try to run UE5 in 10 years old hardware and pretend to have 120+ fps. Few others with modern systems having issues have very likely background processes or frameworks that mess up this game specifically.

I would buy this again without a blink of eye.

Three weeks buddy, not more than a month. You cannot even count yet feel the need to call others sheep.

Talk about lolworthy.

There was no hype, it was shadow dropped.
I am loving my time romping around Cyrodiil.
Only annoyance so far is their bone-headed decision to disable some console commands, making it harder to fix glitches when they arise. WTF.
And yeah, it's lazy of them not to do more fixes, but what else is new? This is Bethesda.
The Unofficial Patch will be fully compatible before long and all will be well.

You did not learn after all the COD skins you bought?

I never buy microtransactions or incomplete games, though I do get them gifted often on my LinkedIn.

[Dilligaf]

eh I have 67 hours so far and have barely scratched the surface of the game. I have had a few crashes but the game runs fine for me in 4k. avg 50 to 120 fps. I am very happy with my purchase.

No hype, shadow dropped, hello?
No performance issues for me, loving the game just like I did the original. Didn't fall for anything. Stop trolling.

More than a month? Can you even math?
