Who does that to a car that was deliberately designed to be not at all grippy.....

Trying to run in high+ detail at 1440p or better on my i7/2060 gaming laptop is not fun.

I've seen better FPS from a Comic Book.....

HD at medium or less is perfectly playable though but graphically looks worse than modded skyrim.

I've tried it on my laptop and the performance isn't too bad. Everything on ultra running 1440p I'm getting 50 to 70fps. That's on a i9 1250hx and a 3080ti. FSR is off. Maybe with newer nvidia drivers and patches from Bethesda might improve performance somewhat.

So you guys are saying... don't buy it yet? Or not worth buying at all?

Buy it on Steam, see if it gels. If not, play for under 2 hours and get a refund. My view is that it's an OK game, it's worth £25 of my money and not anything more in its current state. I bought Premium to play it early. Sometimes we pay the price and learn from our misdeeds.

Everywhere I go there are quests and completing those quests branches into more quests. What to do next.

I’m hoping at some point there’ll be quest/tutorial for outposts and crew.

Because people on forums are obssessed with graphics,when most people who buy their games don't simply care as much as people think. An Indie game like Valheim looks terribad,but sold well over 10 million copies because it was fun. All the people on reddit and twitter who were going to boycott because it had no RT,no this or that,etc would not make a real difference. The same was said about Fallout 4 being crap on forums because it looked like jank,but it was a fun game at its heart and had one of the most mod friendly developers and dedicated fanbase of any game franchise. Skyrim looked dated at launch but was genuinely a great game to play and Fallout:New Vegas is still one of the greatest RPG games ever created.

Hogwarts Legacy sold 15 million copies and it didn't look or run that great either. But it is apparently fun to play.

Cyberpunk 2077 had masses of bugs,horrendous AI and significantly cut back RPG elements(compared to The Witcher 3),etc but got a pass by enthusiasts because it was very pretty and was fun to explore. Yet it still sold well. Everyone is excited about Phantom Liberty because they want to mess around with graphics settings. Nobody is asking whether the RPG elements are going to be of the standard of The Witcher 3.

Just because is popular doesn't mean is good.

Hey, don’t shoot the messenger. I’m just pointing out your errors, not fixing them for you! :p

You barely see any of the game in 2 hours.
 
Looks great and runs really well on my 6700xt.
Until my computer blue screens and restarts, 'attempted to write to readonly memory'
So playing it on series x, while i wait for some new memory to arrive and hope its actually the memory causing the error.

You mean like Cyberpunk 2077 then which people love benchmarking? It sold well despite lots of bugs,poor AI,poor launch performance,degraded RPG elements over Witcher 3,etc. But all people kept saying it was pretty....no comments about the RPG side,when it is the most important aspect of the game from a studio known to make RPG games! :p

I consider New Vegas and Witcher 3 much better RPG games overall. I still completed Cyberpunk 2077 and I will play the expansion despite this, as it was still fun enough for me.In the end enthusiasts on forums always moan about Bethesda Games Studio games,but they seem to mostly stand the test of time well. I think ICDP summed it up well:

Absolutely. The best games of the year so far have had limited RT, or even none at all and we’re not liked for their spectacular graphics. BG3 has not been critically acclaimed for advancing graphical fidelity in gaming. The people who like starfield are looking past the fact the graphics aren’t next gen but at best good, but like it because it is a great RPG at its heart. Or that the the GOTY 2022 was the decidedly average looking Elden Ring.

Games like Valheim are a load of fun too,but it looks mediocre so no one on here cares.

Liking this a lot, yes there is some issue's like washed out HDR and not so great fps even on the mighty rtx4090 and no proper DLSS3 or frame generation yet I'm still enjoying it. With my setup at 1440p at max settings I'm get between 100 to 120 fps which for me has been fine but I can see those on lower cards why they would be so annoyed and frustrated on a game that was announce as practically perfect at launch. No crash's yet and have played for 4 hours.
