      The listing of specs for each preset plus the mention of “portable devices” are good signs for that. So we’ll see!

      Addendum: Same for Ghost of Tsushima!

    Reminder Horizon Zero Dawn was a buggy mess that crashed on startup and took months to attain playable. They did put in the work after the fact which is admirable but the point still stands:

    Don’t be too optimistic about a pre-order.

      Honestly folks should just never pre-order. In the era of digital goods there’s no selling out the whole stock so there’s no rush to get in front of.

        I pre order from small studios that have a proven track record. Even if it ends up bad, I’m happy to have supported the studio.

        Pre ordering AAA games is always a dumb idea though.

        I will preorder the next From Software and that’s about it. They have never failed to deliver a quality product and I have purchased every one of their games since Armored Core 1 in 1997.

        Everyone else - nah.

        There is something to be said for the experience of many people playing through a game for the first time and shared experiences. The fact that the answers to your question don’t exist anywhere. You can’t Google the solution to a puzzle, or the cheese to this boss.

          A whole bunch of quests in elden ring were 100% broken for weeks after release. And there was performance problems. Let’s not pretend that their shit doesn’t stink the same as everyone else’s.

      This game is ported by Nixxes so I’m cautiously optimistic that it will be a good port.

      They fixed up Zero Dawn after release and aced pretty much every port since then.

    Yikes, the comments section on that blog is cancer. People really need to wake up to the fact that games being multi-platform is ALWAYS good for end users. I don’t know why people insist on identifying with just one side.
