The most positive I’ve heard is that it is a by the numbers Bethesda rpg game. It doesn’t try to be anything more. If you liked fallout 4 and skyrim odds are you’ll like this.
Then wait a few months and check some of the in-depth reviews before investing your time. Bethesda’s most well known for its looter shooters with RPG styling.
I imagine this will follow in similar footsteps. It’ll be well designed, well armed, but it’s not going to be an RPG where your decisions have lasting impact. But hopefully I’m wrong
They got rid of the dialogue wheel and went back to a list of options (influenced by character background / skills), so at least there’s that, I suppose.
I get 120fps in Elden Ring at medium, 2070, 64gb ram, i9-12900k.
Just got done with Armored Core, rock solid 144fps at medium all the way through, never a blip.
This runs at 30fps on lowest settings. It runs like absolute crap. It’s incredibly jarring to go from games that are gorgeous and well made with high performance to this thing running like something 20 years ago. Absolutely zero optimisation.
It will get a seriously negative response from the average pc user when user reviews start hitting due to this performance.
The game is kinda meh from what I’ve seen? Any positive impressions?

What if I liked FO3 and New Vegas and hated FO4?
Then you have good taste in games.
What if I liked Fallout 76?
Nobody’s perfect.
Then you are objectively right
FO3 was kind of a disaster in terms of narrative and roleplay. And the established world building.

I’ve heard nothing but good things about gameplay. But it runs like shit on most systems. A RTX 3080 at 1440p ultra can’t get 60 fps in cities.
Still downloading for me, but I see more than one review saying it takes a long time to get good. I’m keeping my expectations low.
EDIT: Glad I was warned it starts slow. It does get better if you stick with it.
EDIT 2: It entertained me for a week. It’s no Skyrim, or even Fallout. I would have been pissed if I’d paid for it.

So it’s more Destiny than No Man’s Sky.
Best comparison I’ve heard (by Gopher, if I recall correctly) is Outer Worlds, but less silly, and bigger by several orders of magnitude.
Yeah Outer Worlds was awesome but very limited. So limited that it almost felt linear.
