I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!

Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.

Xbox 360 didn't actually fair much better. The extra ram allowed some more cheese wheels in the world but those eventually got bricked just after more hours. Only really the PC version worked as intended. I remember when the complaints rolled in for the ps3 version and forums were a dumpster fire of "i cant see any frame drops" and "calibrate your tv" and "works fine for me" as if a game running at 3fps and crashing because the engine demands persistence with no culling on a console with less ram than my Tiny PC running win 95 wasn't the problem.

I have a weird nostalgia for the ps3 version i must load it up and experience the crunchiness. I'm still salty about my savegame. Wonder if i still have it might load it up. 13 years and I've still not forgiven Tod

It is twice the memory though so it takes a looooot more stuff to donk 360 Skyrim. I did encounter save corruption on the launch version though. Not a good pair of console ports... Bethesda moment...
