There is a 100% chance that this game is going to suck.

I'd implore anyone who disagrees to maybe replay the MegaTon section at the beginning of Fallout 3. Bethesda haven't evolved at all since and it's aged badly, especially the writing.

I didn't notice when I was 18, but that was me with 16 years less experience.

For one brief moment, at least we got Skyrim (even though it was a buggy mess on release)

on release?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah, before the community patched it up.

yeah at least we got an overrated shitty game from shitty company

Never go 100%, there's a 1% chance they've actually put some effort into it.

I'd wager there's a higher chance the game never gets made than gets made well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yes, but there is still a chance they accidentally struck gold.

In the same way a 2nd grader might cure cancer for a science project, yes there's technically a chance.
