There's 0 chance it will be better than their new game (successfully blocked out the title, sorry).

Their games are from another time, I feel. They are so focused on how they have always made games and somehow proud of it.

They were great when they were made all those years ago, the times when games felt clunky. It was the times.

But Starfield still has that clunk and other games feel way more fluid these days. I don't feel like I can go back to playing a game that feels like I'm playing a brick.

No preorders, probably won't even end up playing it because it will most likely, probably, definately, suck farts.

The fucked up thing is that no matter how bad and disappointing Starfield was, and no matter how bad and disappointing their subsequent games will be, I’ll still buy and be naively excited for Elder Scrolls VI because Skyrim was such a foundational gaming experience 😩

Just wait a year or two and it'll be half the price or better

Gotta love seeing CoD and Doom agreeing on this.

Half the price or better and also have a massive modding scene which fixes all the Bethesda jank.
