I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol

Biggest concerning signs:

30 FPS lock on xbox, there's no way to spin that positively, absolute fail
Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they're actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)
Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs
Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol

At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.

Jank is partially the result of allowing for emergent gameplay where various forms of simulated systems can interact with each other in novel or unpredictable ways.

That being said I have no clue how people tolerate playing these games on console. Can't even count the number of times I've had to use console commands to fix something myself.

The fact they are priming people to expect this is pretty bad.
