      Their games are from another time, I feel. They are so focused on how they have always made games and somehow proud of it.

      They were great when they were made all those years ago, the times when games felt clunky. It was the times.

      But Starfield still has that clunk and other games feel way more fluid these days. I don’t feel like I can go back to playing a game that feels like I’m playing a brick.

      No preorders, probably won’t even end up playing it because it will most likely, probably, definately, suck farts.

        I think Skyrim is when many gamers realized this. The quests in Oblivion were better, and aside from that, it was just more of the same.

        The fucked up thing is that no matter how bad and disappointing Starfield was, and no matter how bad and disappointing their subsequent games will be, I’ll still buy and be naively excited for Elder Scrolls VI because Skyrim was such a foundational gaming experience 😩

          I genuinely don’t know how anyone who played Starfield could willingly give Bethesda more money for another game. I didn’t even get to the procedurally generated part before quitting.

          I also only lasted 5 hours in Diablo 4. I normally play very curated high quality games and finish what I start no matter what, so this was a huge shock to me having two unprecedented flops back to back.

          tldr fuck gaming I’m touching grass instead

            Starfield wasn’t terrible, but it also wasn’t great, very mediocre. I bought the limited edition like a fool because I saw the gameplay trailers and thought it looked awesome. I should have expected there would be very little depth to any of the systems.

            Fallout 4 and Skyrim are my top played games on Steam by a mile, but I always play heavily modded.

          Would you want to play it (and support Bethesda) if it’s as bad as Starfield? If yes I won’t judge you, but if not it’s worth it to wait 1-2 weeks. If it’s bad and you still want to play, the seven seas might provide a solution…
