    I honestly don’t even care anymore. Bethesda peaked at Morrowind.

      Yeahhhh, it was a really sad realization for me when I realized elder scolls 6 would no longer be an automatic day one purchase. After Fallout 4, then 76, and now Starfield (which I was skeptical about since they first started its pre-release marketing cycle anyway), I’m realizing that Bethesda is heading in the direction of so many other legacy game companies and just doesn’t seem to be interested in publishing the kinds of games that put them on the map any more; a la Bioware, EA, and Blizzard.

      At least SuckerPunch is still putting out good stuff, as much as I miss the Sly Cooper games 🥲

          They still do. Probably more now than ever.

        And yet every asswipe with an internet is whining about how Starfield is too much like Bethesda’s other stuff.

        So are they getting too far away, or are they doing the same thing?

        Get with the other dinks and figure it out.

          “Hey entire internet, get on the same page already!”

          I hate it when anyone whatsoever disagrees with anything, no matter how unimportant.

          Huh? Chill dude, no need to call names. People are allowed to have their own opinions on a piece of media. I can assure you I’m not part of some kind of Starfield-hating cabal. I just didn’t like it. Sorry.

          It all depends on how old you are basically. It shares more blood with Skyrim than it does Oblivion or Morrowind. It’s also procedural, like Daggerfall and Arena, but done poorly. Those had procedural dungeons, while Starfield every dungeon is the same and it’s only the boring open world that changes.

          It’s like their other stuff, but in most of the wrong ways in my opinion. Its got the (lack of) dialog options from FO4… I was going to point out things from other games, but the rest is all generic and applies to all of the modern ones.

          It lacks the player control and agency from Morrowind or earlier that personally I’m looking for. I hope with the success of BG3 they realize they can give players freedom and options and they’ll appreciate it.

        I can’t hear you over the sound of falling through the floor of this daggerfall dungeon for the fiftieth time argh
