Because AAA games are usually that expensive these days.

I usually never pay more than $20 for games. I never get games at launch and I don't pre-order. My sweet spot price range for buying games is $5-$10. So when 9th-gen games standardized around $70 I just laughed. Now games are gonna be $80 and again I laugh. I didn't pay $50 or $60 launch prices, so they can kiss my ass with prices higher than that. They can charge however much they want, but I won't be paying a dime until some good sale prices come around.
 
I won't be playing it the reviews have me swayed to stay away. Mainly the comparisons to the previous Doom games. I'll pick up BL4 or Perfect Dark or something else.

I don't buy top end hardware to play games that are several years old and in the bargain bin. In truth, I don't buy that many games compared to most people. I tend to be super picky about what I like. If I like a game, I'll play the shit out of it. That's why I have between 700 and 4,000 hours in a lot of the games I do have. Between trailers and YouTube videos with gameplay footage, I tend to know what I like and rarely buy a game I end up not liking. (Though it does sometimes still happen.) $60 to $70 isn't a huge deal given I probably only buy 3 or 4 games a year. That said, I do also utilize Game Pass or EA Play for some things if I want to try something I'm not 100% sure about.
 
DarkSydePhil showing us how not to play the game as he always does.


 
I always lol at the people who buy games day zero or before then complain when there are game breaking bugs

Cue the bicycle meme where the guy sticks his own wheel.

See you in a year, suckers!

That's great, but just because you don't have issues doesn't mean the same for everyone though. The link I posted was directly from Bethesda's own site, not a bunch of teenagers complaining in a forum, they already knew about these issues with the 576.40 being the latest. The main point is they call it a AAA game, when it's really just a BBB beta release, yet they want $70+ for the game. I'm done playing that game, I'll buy the game off a 3rd party site before I get bent over. At least the Stalker devs had a a excuse of a major war raging, one of their devs even KIA and the Russians hacked the code.

And yet here you are, bitching about a game you're not even playing.

Why did you buy this game if those are a concern for you or just refund it? If the price is not worth it, ahmmm I don't buy it. Anyways I knew way beforehand, a few weeks how the game looks, plays, performance and the number of issues before I bought, no regrets, at least yet.
 
I haven’t had any crashing or any technical issues either, and I’m on a mixed AM4/nvidia system. Only technical complaint I have is with how the audio is engineered, it’s the least polished aspect of the game.
 
Really have to say i'm impressed with some of the overarching gameplay additions. I like how you fly the dragon around and then land in areas that you need to clear out.
 
So is this game a must buy, or just mediocre?

I've been playing Wolfenstein, Doom, and Quake since the original days.

Didn't care for Doom Eternal due to the platforming. But wondering if Dark Ages is a cool fun game worth $70?

after i reinstalled it onto my 980 pro it fired right up, but that was after it launched. probably took less time than the decompression thing.

only played for half hour or so, seems to play fine. im limited to 1080/med "static", and getting 45-75 and freesync is smoothing it out fine in the dips. im waaaaaaaay out of practice though... oof.
 
Played a couple of hours, started it up on the 9070 XT and very surprised at the performance. 4K, Ultra Nightmare settings, no motion blur or film grain, FSR quality and pushing low 90's to the 100's fps. Game is great and a lot of fun. Trouble free without issue.
