I don't understand why anyone buys games at full price. There are so many games to play there is no rush to buy day one and get wallet raped.

Sometimes you're inbetween games and the new game looks really appealing so you want to play it right away. I know I buy fully value games every now and then, but not that often. Looking at my Steam replay thing, in 2025 I bought 3 games on release, MH Wilds(which ironically was a big waste of money cause then I proceeded not to play it until I got a new PC a year later, so could have saved a bunch of money), Path of Achra which iirc was a 15$ game anyway and well worth the cost(80ish hours into that) and Absolum which was also a lower cost game(25-30bucks iirc?) which was less hours played but still enjoyable.
But yeah if I'm not really into the game releasing I just wait. This is definitely going to the wishlist for in 6+months when they can patch a bunch of stuff and I can grab it for 35-40euros.

There are a lot of people with poor impulse control. They also tend to be big fat fatties, because they can't delay gratification and lack any ability to tell themselves "no".

I sure wouldn't, giant back log anyways. Free for my new computer thru amd at least. I suspect I should let it sit and cook for a few weeks or months at least to try and get fixes and updates

LOOK IM RIGHT HERE STOP PRETENDING I CANT HEAR ALL THIS TALKING ABOUT ME
Really though, basically sums it up for me.
...and I will surely enjoy it for 10s of minutes before returning to WoW / Slay the Spire 2 / some $5 indie game I'll end up sinking 40 hours into.

5pm for reviews.
This guy is going over a few things.
* No Difficulty Slider - Not as hardcore as Elden Ring but people likeHateyou need to gidgudfgt.
* Puzzles are Stamina gated
* No quest makers (Already known)
* Some dense areas along with some very empty areas
* Some/Most of the enemies are the same outside of bosses
* Opening hour is fairly slow useful to learn systems
* Game Stamina is severely restricted at the start so make sure to do a lot of exploration and side activities
* Some skills may not be found - Dev is expecting communities to talk about what they have found
* Some puzzles are frustrating with controls
* Physics glitches (To be expected) I think these are hilarious.
* A lot of Popping when traversing is faster.
* Navigation can be frustrating (For me as long as it is like Elden Ring I loved that)
* Weather Physics
* Generic Story/Fantasy
* Underwater exploration is nothing like land - 50/50 if you care or not - but was found lacking
* Some side quests feel like random chores (Classic bear ass quests - or quests with no narrative)
* Banking system
* 573 different locations - Ubisoft style outposts - clear bandit camps quite a bit.
* Regional accents for voices in the world
* A lot of copy pasted interiors
* Skill based fishing
* Plot is on rails with no major choices
* Stealth is lacking
* Particle overload at times
* Best Ray Tracing seen to date
* Fantastic day/night/shadow/lighting system
* Best implementation of global illumination by far
* Inventory management sucks - no storage container supposedly
* House has some way to store - up in the air
* Audio - finding quest POI's on audio cue's is great
* Praise of factional/regional areas and changes
* Early boss enemies will be overly difficult
* Late game enemies > Bullet Sponges
* Breakable armor for NPC's/Enemies
* Some tedius quest activations/completions (Getting to the right/exact spot to complete)
* No info yet on what the Day 1 patch will entail.
* Almost all upgrades are rewarded by exploring.
* An absolute shit ton of mini games
This guy seems to have not played the game at all, not even the media preview (as far as I can tell from his channel), he just extrapolates from what other people have said or alluded too.

How much do you weighUtnayan ? Trying to validate this whole statement.
Confirmed. I gotgudfgt at Italian food the last 5 years. Plus Winter sucks.
I am going hiking in Norway and Sweeden in September though so I will be able to see if my buy all games habit dies down when I slim back down over the next 2 months.

That was pretty much it a summarization of early reviews and insider info of reviews not yet published.

Bro, we all know you aren't going "hiking" longer than 4 minutes. The ski lift will be doing the rest of the work.
