I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!
Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.
Starfield doesn't have 100% overlap of criticism with Skyrim (easy example: Skyrim has horses!) and certainly not Oblivion
To be clear: Fuck Skyrim, it's an overrated piece of shit game and the only thing good about it is the modding support, but I strongly believe Starfield is even worse.
Yeah tbf Starfield has its own special problems like planets as little instances and no mooncars. A lot of the same applies though, bad writing copypasted dungeons lifeless characters stripped back mechanics...
I remember seeing footage of Starfield for the first time. I don’t keep up games so I genuinely thought it was some leaked beta footage but then I realized it was set to launch like a year or so later lol
Skyrim has horses????
