and then they’d re-sell it a bunch of times after that too.
Comment on Today, it has been 6 years since The Elder Scrolls 6 teaser

They could take 30 years to make it, but it would still be made by Bethesda and it would still suck.

Because it was such a bad game that people gladly bought it again?

God what a fucking boring and wrong opinion to be have
thorbot@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They literally said Starfield was in the making for 25 fucking years. And you see how that ended up
ICastFist@programming.dev 6 months ago
I don’t think they ever said that. It’s their “first new IP” in 25 years, and was “in production” since 2013, likely just planning stages. In reality, production only really started after FO76, when more people were available to do actual work.
thorbot@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They did in one of their marketing videos
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yeah, a pretty cool game that hoards of nerds have a weird hate boner for.
Game developers do not owe anyone anything, but you’d never know it from this comment section
Lightor@lemmy.world 6 months ago
This is a forum about games and you’re calling people nerds? Lol, go play more Madden.

I like the bugs. The Giant Space Program was nice

I have great memories of Morrowind

I have great memories of Skyrim. And FO3. And New Vegas. And Fallout 4. And Fallout 76 actually got not bad. And Elder Scrolls: Online had one of my favorite quest chains in a game. And…

Lemmy is way too edgy to enjoy good games that are also popular.

Lenny indeed lacks some casual fucks, almost every thread has some extreme opinions. I had someone unironically try to explain to me why it would be beneficial to the human race to go extinct.

Ok so, I didn’t enjoy Skyrim as much as I enjoyed Morrowind, in fact I never finished it; I skipped Oblivion 'cause at the time it came out I… had other things to deal with.
I liked FO3 (weirdly, I liked it better than FONV), but in my opinion the new ones don’t hold a candle to the first two.

I agree almost 100% with you on this. I did play Oblivion, but Skyrim has the more interesting world IMO which makes it a slightly better game. The strength of Bethesda games that makes them good, in my opinion, is the same every time: explore a large interesting world with your own created character. This explains (in part) why people like Morrowind so much: the world is just so weird and interesting.
The problem is they don’t know how to improve on that concept. Instead they are mostly adding features that either don’t add anything to it or actively detract from it. For example, Fallout 4 received settlement building and weapon crafting. But, the time I’m spending on my town, I’m not actually out exploring. If I can craft weapons, I care less about the cool weapons I find in dungeons. Now, Starfield got rid of most of the crafted world altogether in exchange for procedural planets that aren’t interesting to explore at all.
Aan an aside, I don’t think it even makes sense to compare the first two fallout games with the Bethesda ones. Fallout 3 and beyond are not really sequels, they’re a completely different series set in the same universe.

It was still a glitch fest, but at least the world was top notch.

Me replaying New Vegas, lol I had it crash on me like 7 times during my playthrough. Classic Bethesda engine
Blackmist@feddit.uk 6 months ago
7 is pretty damn good for that engine. Were you doing a speedrun?

In morrowind?
CptOblivius@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I also liked Skyrim and oblivion. Not sure how people can think they suck.
HelluvaKick@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Those games don’t suck. But Bethesda is so washed now
tegs_terry@feddit.uk 6 months ago
I liked Daggerfall, too, despite serious glitch issues. I just saved a lot and it was fine.
