Todd: We are excited to announce ‘Skyrim: Buy This Instead of Kingdom Come Edition’
Everyone but Todd: This is horse armor

I mean, if any studio can make a living RPG world it would be Warhorse. All I can say is “don’t fuck it up!”
Originally Bethesda Game Studio was the one, but their last decent game was Skyrim. They seem to know that themselves too, as they keep finding reasons to re-release Skyrim.

Yeah.
Can you imagine a “Starfield: Special Edition” re-release in a few years? Who TF would play that? I’d say that’s satire, but their leadership’s ego is so titanic it might not be.

Starfield was ambitious and failed. I give them credit for trying. But, that said, I’m not buying the game.

Ambitious for Bethesda maybe

Ambitious, but in all the wrong ways. They made a pretty vast world, but it was lifeless and stale. Everything was static and there was no reason to engage with it. The scale didn’t add anything, so the ambition was misplaced.
If the ambition were to add a more simulation based living universe, rather than a wide lifeless one, there could have been something to it, even if it fell short. I honestly don’t see what they wanted to accomplish though. It’s like they haven’t learned anything from other space games of the past several decades, or even their own games. Hell, their original space sim they were working on decades ago sounds more alive than Starfield was.

I don’t think it was a sales failure, was it? Not a short term one.

There are many kinds of ‘ambitious’. Starfield was wear slightly more colorful tie than standard style ambitious.

Sounds like Polymarket is back on the menu, boys

I would not bet against it, that’s for sure.

I played Starfield on launch. I Cyberpunked & glitched into walls. I GTA III’d through pavement and fell into another dimension where Morrowind was the height of gaming.
I woke up, and an angry rotund child with a bowl-cut was glaring at me.
I asked “is this 1995”?
“No” , he replied “I’m allowed to eat as much Mt. Dew as I want”.
No indeed, he began going into detail about “grinding”, and I had flashbacks to Diablo II.
So I lifted my left buttock and let out a loud toot.
The spectre left in a hurry, yelling something about “souls like”
