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.

To put this thread into perspective, there are YouTube channels dedicated to Starfield content with more subscribers than this sub. The edgelord take is seldom representative outside of its bubble.

The worst thing about those games is that they are filled with so many edgelords complaining about all the wrong things, that things like the steeping predatory monetization practices that began with Oblivion and have drastically increased since then no longer get called out as they once were when they tried to shove them again in early Skyrim. But outside of that, stop playing gatekeeper and let people enjoy what they play to enjoy and if you don't like it, maybe spend your time being positive about what you do like instead of negative and berating for people liking what you don't like.
