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.

Why is there a 300+ comment thread on such an obvious and uncontroversial truth? It's like having a 300+ comment thread on why Diablo 2 is better than Diablo 3 or why Doom is better than Wolfenstein 3d or why Sonic 1 is the weakest of the Genesis Sonics. Bethesda's last good game was Morrowind just like how Blizzard's last good game was W3:TFT.

Hexbear is not ready for your "Fallout 1 is better than Fallout 2" take.

Waow you rembered my Fallout 1 > Fallout 2 take aubrey-happy

Yeah I dunno, the Skyrim worship has been so widespread I had honestly given up, like why try to tell people Skyrim bad? But increasingly I am seeing people change their minds, so I posted about it. Alas, some people are hoppin' mad at the very idea.

Kinda disappointed my biggest thread is a doofy skyrim post kobeni-sweat

I can see why so many people, including people here at Hexbear dot net, would blow their money on Starfield and expect something good lol

I'll fight by your side, "more" isn't "better."
