“This is, of course, a slightly wild thing for the studio that made Morrowind (its actual best game) and Skyrim (its most popular game by miles) to say”
Accurate
talk about smelling their own farts
Yeah.
It’s so depressing.
Like you telling me out of 250 developers on Starfield, nobody is losing their shit that this project isnt at all critically acclaimed like many of their other releases?
What do you mean Skyrim? Morrowind was clearly the best game they ever made.
My n’wah
Under sun and sky, we greet you warmly.
Hello, bosmer
Even disregarding just how bad starfield is, Emil is the literal worst person to say this. He is completely, shockingly incompetent when it comes to his job.
Tons of people still play Skyrim.
Something tells me that, in 10 years, few if any will still be playing Starfield.
do people play it now? never hear about it anymore.
I played 100 hours of Starfield. I dont remember much of it to be honest, nor am I interested in going back.
And yet I picked up Elden Ring back up like half a dozen times since release.
All I remember is getting a legendary double barrel and sending enemies flying. Also like two quests.
According to SteamDB: around 10k every day which is about the same as Hogwarts Legacy, Bloons TD6, and No man’s Sky
that’s sad
“New Thing Is Best Thing” is just the statement sales guys make when they’re selling the New Thing.
They’re going to re-release Skyrim for the thousandth time next week and claim it’s also the best game they’ve ever made.
Sounds like he hasn’t play the other games

Anyway, apparently Bethesda hasn’t been too dissuaded by the lukewarm reception its space sim got. Pagliarulo says it’s now joined Fallout and Elder Scrolls on the podium as one of Bethesda’s "big three”.
What a bunch of fucking clowns. Smoked too much copium it looks like.
Saying it is in the top three IPs for a company that only has three IPs is technically correct.
Honestly, even with only three IPs i think starfield struggles to even break into the top 5
Best kind of correct!

Pouring one out for Fallout and another for Elder Scrolls.
I’d wait to see if fans are still trying to port Starfield to new engines in 20 years before I start talking about my company’s “best” work.
Emil, Howard, and Hines are why Bethesda can’t make good games anymore. Corporate hacks that have pushed for more mundane gameplay with every new game.
They also spearheaded piecemeal DLCs and consistently try to find ways to monetize mods.
Don’t say that about godd howard 😡😡 /s
Like God said in Genesis: It just works.
Wanting something to be true doesn’t make it so. I played, and I even enjoyed big parts of it (after heavily modding, to be fair). I think it got more hate than it deserved, but in no reality can it be considered a really good game, let alone their best.
I really enjoyed the story missions, but the procedurally generated stuff got old fast. Im going to give a few years when all the DLCs are out and someone gives is the Wildlander treatment.
What they needed was a lot less empty planets and a lot more that looked populated (not occupied by a small outpost; populated, by a civilization).
The beauty of Skyrim (and I guess fallout, though I hated the guns so much I struggled to ever get into it) was that you could just wander if you got bored. You’d just point yourself in a random direction and see what popped out as interesting. Many of those places would be moderate sized cave systems that brought you out somewhere completely different, where you were free, again, to just pick a direction and explore.
It doesn’t feel like exploration to go to an empty map with a base that you kill everything in, then backtrack back to your ship every time.
I like starfield. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but I think the amount of shit it gets is unwarranted.
I was thinking the other day that people were bashing it for the space navigation and I remembered that Mass Effect didn’t let you pilot shit or even pick where to go or explore a huge planet and still was so so good.
Still not attracted because what ME was an engrossing story and amazing cast, which Bethesda never ever did in any of the games I liked. So… yeah.
But I sure hope people who took the plunge will get their money’s worth!
I agree with you, while adding that the lack of depth, especially in space exploration, economy and combat made it that much more disappointing. Like the groundwork is there, you should be able to hire pilots or have you companions run planet bases for you, but no. At least, when I played you couldn’t do that.
I’m a big sci-fi nerd, and the primary quest was so, so good in my opinion. I tried out the base building feature and it really felt worthless, but the combat and story are so really fun.
Gaslighting much, are they?
