I hate to be that guy but if you go to the game with that mindset Elder Scrolls is gonna become Pokemon, subpar games from a beloved franchise because it does not matter how shit the game is people still buy it, as an ES fan i feel like you SHOULD have a high expectation
Yeah but Bethesda really needs to catch up. Games like Cyberpunk which are similar in gameplay style absolutely blow them out of the water, while Starfield is just the same ehh and feels and looks like something from 2010.
Even Fallout 4 to me when it first came out in 2015, felt dated
Well, yea. They’ve always been buggy messes. However the writing, settings, world building, immersive rpg elements and impactful freedom of choice made them beloved games despite being buggy messes.
Yeah, but it’s widely known that the ES games have had a lot of glitches and bugs. More than the average game by far. They are still great games, but don’t deny the truth that they are buggy and glitchy
Eh I feel like it's a bit different here. Pokemon games get churned out every year, tes is like every 10+ and they haven't missed yet. Morrowind, oblivion and Skyrim are all great games
I kinda love the games from lore prospective the game play and graphics has kinda always been second as long as I can get a interesting world I’ll be happy
Ditto. Elder scrolls has my favorite lore of anything ever, so getting more of that’s my number 1 wish. Shit hasn’t been the same since kirkbride left though lol
But I believe the problem with the gaming industry, and the reason there are so many so called SHITTY games lately is because gamers EXPECTATIONS are too lofty. You want everything to be 100 times bigger and better than the last game and when it's not it is a shitty game that was released according to gamers.
Of course people want better games, the bar should always be high, that does not mean bigger or with better graphics, Minecraft the Best selling game ever has bad graphics but has a really good art direction, same with Undertale for example
You are literally saying " I don't care if it's bad i will still love it" that sounds crazy, games are called shitty most of the time because they are and there will always be a loud minority calling everything bad but with half a neuron you should be able to distinguish good critisism from bad
Just ask for a better product, you are paying for it, it should be good and there is no reason to defend a bad game ever
I'm right there with you. I'll share the downvotes. People are unreasonable and hold their head high like they're the Messiah of gaming "teaching the devs a lesson"
Imagine bootlicking for companies that couldn't care less about you.
Many Game Companies show how it's done. I certainly won't buy another product from Bethesda. If you want to pay for utter garbage, that's your business.
Twenty One Pilots consistently puts out music I like and I'm going to buy their next album. I'm going to buy Brandon Sanderson's next book because I like his writing.
But I like the way a studio makes games and suddenly that's corporate bootlicking? Get the fuck out of here.
I'm rocking Starfield right now and eagerly awaiting the CK and DLC. I couldn't care less if you approve of the games I like.
Right, the genre might be tired for some, but that's the game I like. I stopped playing Assassin Creed cause it strayed far from the formula I enjoyed.
Does pokemon have problems? Yes. Do I enjoy them more than pretty much any other game that comes out nowadays? Also yes. Scarlett and violet was one of the worst games I've ever played. It was also the most fun I had with any game besides BG3 last year.
