If this is like Cyberpunk or BF2042 on release, I'm going to frisbee my 3080 out the window.

I'll pick it up at some point. Maybe I have rose tinted memories of the prior games but doesn't seem to bring much new to the table. Even graphically, wildlife seems to move the same way which seems odd now. Shrubs/trees don't even move. Lots of edged/square shapes (buildings, railings etc). Maybe this is intentional to give the environment a familiar feel.
Initial impression from skimming a few youtube videos.
EDIT:I just skimmed a call of Pripyat video and it is a case of remembering the old games as being graphically better than they were. Will wait a few months anyway and see what others think of the new game

Sounds like an anomaly, throw a bolt at the screen and see if it goes away

It pretty much just lets Xbox app know you want it to preload once it's available to do so

I was super hyped on Doom 2016 and it didn't disappoint one bit, i pre ordered too, but it was the last game i pre ordered. Resi 2 remake i waited out till reviews and picked up late, yet again an absolute banger. I'm playing C&C remake atm and again, picked up late, but it's good.
Out of all the games i've followed and not bought in the past years due to poor reviews, this one isn't giving me that feeling. I've not watched any new gameplay as am positive it will deliver. I'm mostly waiting as in no rush to dive in due to time.

Wow, I hadn't even opened my Xbox Gamepass in so long, got fed up with the amount of rubbish Indie games on it rather than bangers. Can't believe Stalker 2 is on GP.
What does it say? Can't watch at the moment.
Seems to love it...
Goes on about the AI, graphics, Survival Mechanics, Enemy Variety and more...
If I wasn't disgusted with preorder scams and previews lately i'd buy it right now
How can you get scammed? Unless CDKeys are about to go out of business, you buy from them and if it turns out to be a turd you get a redund.
That said i hear the price shot up a CDKeys and no londer £25

Annoying that you cannot preload from CDkeys. These days I have terrible internet. I probably won't be able to play until the following day after release.

But how can we trust that channel, how do we know they haven't been paid to say that etc etc.

You don't! Tbh you can't trust ANY preview/review channel anymore
The best reviews are by the customers

I dunno man, @TNA is one and I don't trust him, not one bit*
*Unless it comes to beta testing games, in which case I trust he will always deliver.

Wish I could play this but it'll be too scary and I wont be able to handle it. I dunno why I can't do it. Scary film? No problem. Scary game? Nope

I'm with you on that, also I think games are generally low imagination and heavily rely on jump scares.
