I have major regret for buying this game. Games like this should have a 20 hour refund window instead of 2. It took me 2 hours to realize it wasn't possible to get the game to not run like garbage.

Well if the companies refuse to give you a demo to try, maybe you should pirate it to try and then purchase it.

Another option is becoming a patient gamer and just waiting for the game to get better (if it does) a year or two down the line and then buy it at a discount.

In the last few years there aren't many games I didnt regret buying early.

I usually do pirate and then buy (if worthy) but surely a major Bethesda release would be worth 80 bucks, right?

Right?

Wrong. They proved that they could no longer be trusted after the release of Fallout 76.

That was a gigantic flaming red flag that I ignored
