I never pre order games
I never buy games full price
And I definitely do not buy Bethesda games before playing them and seeing how broken they are and if I enjoy them.
I never ever bought a Bethesda game before cracking it and playing for at least a few hours. Bethesda just does not deserve it.
I mean if a demo isn't being offered what else can you do?
Buy it on Steam, play for 2 hours, full refund if unhappy? Trying out games has never been easier these days.
That said, I'm in full support of pirating first and buying if you continue playing. I probably have hundreds of hours in Skyrim, but it only shows a few hours on Steam because I did exactly that 😋
Besides the other points already brought up regarding this, 2 hours is just too short. Games like this often have long startup times, long intros, etc... and it’s just not enough to get a good impression of the game. At least with demos you get a good vertical slice preview of what you’re getting into.
