Presumably the next step is adding AI slop into the mix or something like that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] DdCno1@beehaw.org 0 points 15 hours ago I played Oblivion, Skyrim, Fallout 4 and Starfield at or very shortly after launch. You are exaggerating to a ridiculous degree. None of them were even remotely unplayable - and there has also been a significant increase in quality with each title. Each of them was more stable and had fewer glitches and game-breaking bugs than the previous title at launch. permalink fedilink source parent [–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 days ago permalink fedilink source parent [–] tmyakal@infosec.pub 45 points 2 days ago (1 child) This was my first thought.
