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.
To put this thread into perspective, there are YouTube channels dedicated to Starfield content with more subscribers than this sub. The edgelord take is seldom representative outside of its bubble.
The worst thing about those games is that they are filled with so many edgelords complaining about all the wrong things, that things like the steeping predatory monetization practices that began with Oblivion and have drastically increased since then no longer get called out as they once were when they tried to shove them again in early Skyrim. But outside of that, stop playing gatekeeper and let people enjoy what they play to enjoy and if you don't like it, maybe spend your time being positive about what you do like instead of negative and berating for people liking what you don't like.

The ruling class seems to be cannibalising more and more of what should be "their own", to the point where some spots in the US have people making six figures sweat about living costs. Very smol bourgeoisie.

Cool, why not bring it up on a relevant thread? Not sure what copying and pasting commie comments into an unrelated commie gaming thread is supposed to do
Maybe just buffing out the comment count, Idk. And pretending not to be mad.
Honestly no clue, lol.

Okay are they pre-existing Bethesda channels, like that used to be Skyrim or Fallout channels though? But yeah Razbutin is just a lil guy, and not even a good channel at that. I struggle to label it an "edgelord take" because he is the most milquetoast normie, however. A lot of these videos are by normos.
Are they still doing the Creation Club shit? I stopped paying attention after launch Skyrim so aside from the Fallout 76 cash shop Idk.
Why is this viewed as 'gatekeeping'? Very silly. My reference points for better games are usually Oblivion and New Vegas, themselves also PC/PS360 games with massive sales numbers. Who's gatekeeping? Also, duh, I have long accepted that people like Skyrim, that's why this observation of some youtube videos is the first time I'm really saying "skyrim bad" online in years. Why would I be trying to stop people playing the game? How would I, even?
Gamers are so deeply unserious. "Do not be negative, criticism bad!!!!! Watch your tone!!!!!" Also I do not think I have berated anyone anywhere in this thread for liking the game, bit of projection maybe.
I gotta say, labelling people who disagree "edgelords" really is pretty funny. Not sending their best, I see!

Denial of what? Gamers and their deeply unserious tendencies.

we would really appreciate this. have ur temper tantrum elsewhere
Gamers getting mad and spewing shit, truly unprecedented lmao.
they were just replying to the other user with his recent comments from another thread. something a child would do. then they have the nerve to complain that those comments were removed for spam?! it’s really sad that the malding gamer is probably an adult
And all because some dork (me) saw some videos saying game bad and agreed
never insult a big boy’s treats
Got it, confirmation that you really like your echo chambers and allowing shit talk to only go one way while trying to act oblivious to it, and seeing the communities you moderate, that this is systemic throughout hexbear. Thanks for the heads up, I love it when incompetent bad faith actors out themselves.
you said you would leave this instance. got our hopes up for nothing smh. ill help you gain some peace by banning you from this comm.
btw, we remove comments from bad faith trolls. liberals like urself are allowed to argue if they do so in good faith
Sorry no restraint, too funny.
