I have no interest in this game but can say that The Witcher 3 is a bad game, so if this game is nothing like that game, it might actually be good

What about Gone Home with its gamergate expansion pack? It's got a bunch of bots on actual message boards to help with immersion too!

Fallout 4 will probably be okay, but only if I can ditch whatever dumb story they came up with and go bash people with a rocket launcher out in the wastes.

I looked up Undertale and the story sounds alright but I can see the whole 'endings permanently affect new playthroughs' thing becoming annoying

"Ah," Ratz had said, at last, "the artiste."
Hyperbole aside I'm gonna guess that from what we've seen this game will be two steps forward one step back just like the Oblivion -> Skyrim jump. I'm also not sure if being a parent looking for your child is better/worse than being a child looking for your parent but I'm willing to bet it'll be just as hamfisted.

Oh wait, is this thread still just for random shitposting?

Those screenshots look significantly better than the leaks which makes them dubious to me.

It doesn't really because the only one that really really does anything objectionable is a thing you'd only get after playing out every other ending.

I think people should play the game for a bit first before saying it's bad or good.

I will say one thing:

I haven't kept up with the leaked screenshot brigade but the last I checked people were posting screenshots where shadows didn't exist and I can confirm that isn't accurate even with the pipboy light on. I don't know if more accurate screenshots have shown up since then.

Nice try with that prerendered bullshit, Beturdsda. I'm smart enough to know that the graphics in the compressed as gently caress video streams are the true representation of the game's "quality."

So you're saying you have a console version and it is looking better than what has been shown in leaked screenshots?

Why the discrepancy?

People were saying the no shadows thing even when you could clearly see shadows on screen because it was just another dumb thing to say about how bad this game is. There wasn't ever actually screenshots of no shadows, just people saying it.
