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

Biggest concerning signs:

  1. 30 FPS lock on xbox, there's no way to spin that positively, absolute fail

  2. Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they're actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)

  3. Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs

  4. Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol

At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.

This post reads as if you're a PlayStation player that still obsessed over the cOnSoLe WaRs and is just salty.

  1. Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs

You mean... marketing?

Pretty much everything you said is dumb or just not true, but that one was especially hilarious.

I don't own a playstation

30 FPS lock on xbox

This is factually true

Didn't say you did

And I didn't say everything wasn't

I’m 100% expecting this game to crash and burn in the most outrageous manner possible. I’ll be surprised if it turns out to be a good game.

It’s possible that they’ll get around to making it good eventually but I’m betting it’ll be total garbage at launch
