My guess is Fallout 4 will once again be in the bargain bin. Go for the GOTY edition. You kinda need all the bad DLC and it's the same price as the two good DLC.

GOTY edition is currently on sale over on Humble Bundle, btw.

The game will be on sale when it is on sale.

That's what wishlist is for, go to the store page, put the game on your wishlist and you'll be emailed every time the game goes on sale. No one can tell you ahead of time when that's going to be.

It´s on sale right now.

Wow. It is, and less than $14 for the GOTY edition. I paid $20. It's in the bargain bin of the bargain bins, so cheap if I hadn't put 2600+ hours playing it, I'd think something was wrong with it.

Yeah it's been out for a while so it goes cheap very often. But is there a newer better Fallout game now that it's cheap? Nope.
Get it together Bethesda!

They say that in Bethesda's new space game, that the game engine was not improved and they should have gone with the Unreal engine, but then game mods would be subject to Unreal's terms.

All in all, as game engines get better, the game writing gets worse and more "woke".

I think that with BGS owned by M$ their games will never reach anything amazing from a gameplay perspective. Switching to a new game engine won't change that.

With the cpus released in the last few years a lot of the optimization systems could be done away with altogether. Even the Papyrus performance issues could be overcome. The catch is that most purchasers are still going to own low-end systems.

Why Starfield? I suspect that it is because space games don't have much complex scenery. No scenery no performance problems. The decision to make Starfield would have been taken years ago. I reckon if BGS knew something like 13th and 14th gen intel cpus would be available the decision might have been to do something more advanced. I'm just guessing. But it's what I would have done.
