I've always found the Uncharted 4/The Last Of Us/God of War 2018 to all be decent, but all those games are kinda lacking in imteresting gameplay and are basically the video game equivalents of "Oscar bait"

    Bethesda games in general, I don't hate them but I think they're terribly overrated

    Not only do they always launch broken and buggy games before fans make patches to fix the base game which Bethesda then steals and turns into an official patch but then they have the gall to always re-release their games as a "Game of the Year" edition which is two different kinds of bullshit

    Say what you want about the toxic parts of the Dark Souls fanbase, they don't :bootlicker: From software so hard they work on the games for free nor do they add creepy incel sex mods, well not yet anyway (oh god no)

    You can claim no Souls game deserved to be called game of the year any more or even as much as any of the Bethesda games with GotY editions but at least neither Miyazaki or Tanimura were ever arrogant enough to call their games GotY and that kind of humility and maturity is the exact opposite of the frat bro culture at Activision

    Edit: but I'm also conflicted because even if the games have massive flaws I still love the worlds they create, I gotta give them credit for that

      I think that Morrowind and Skyrim were legitimately groundbreaking games when they came out, but whoever was writing the good stuff back in the Morrowind days left and Skyrim was so successful it kind of broke the company.

      I don't think you need to worry about this. There's no roleplaying element to these games which makes them entirely unsuitable for that kind of addition.
