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.

I watched that video and all the comments are basically saying they still love the game and I have to wonder if I'm finally going to use the term "nostalgia goggles" unironically.

lets-fucking-go The game is still hugely popular but more "eh this was bad actually" -type videos are coming out.

i-love-not-thinking making another stealth archer with conjure bow so I don't have to bother with arrows and 360 no scoping everything

At launch it was novel and fun to play the new fancy open world game with graphics for around probably 40 hours. The writing was trash and the gameplay was shallow, and this became clear the more I played. However I'd argue that opinion had started to turn on it in the mid 2010s.

Finally, I'll say this: in my main playthrough where I beat every questline, I had fun sometimes. When I did the same in Fallout 4, I had fun in two quests and was desperately waiting for it to get good for the other 60 hours. Starfield is never fun, and also weirdly shorter.
