Like at least find out if the planets are any good first and not just 2000 procedurally generated flavors of bear asses to collect.

Hopefully there's a whole RPG game in there and those are just side stuff to muck around and get some loot.

100%. I'm a diehard Bethesda RPG fan, but never ever preorder. I'll never understand the stupidity in doing this.

The people that preorder clearly aren’t listening

Or they are listening and just don't care.

Why are people advising against pre-ordering? Is Bethesda known for not meeting expected release dates?

Basically, preordering incentivizes companies to release games that are not finished. In general, companies will always maximize revenues while minimizing costs. If they can release a game that didn't cost them as much to produce (getting massive preorders through good marketing but pinching development and quality) then they absolutely will. look at any AAA released this year

Why are people buying products that they can't even have until release day?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

It's literally pointless. You are getting no benefit. You can buy it when it releases.

I think one reason is that Bethesda's previous game's, Fallout 76's, release didn't go very smoothly. Not at all smoothly. Internet Historian has a good video about that: The Fall of 76
