Good to know they keep going their own way. We got more than enough carbon copy games nowadays, always excited for something unique.
are you suggesting that the elder scrolls series, specifically the next one coming out made and published by bethesda/ microsoft, is going to be unique?
Uniquely bland and devoid of any soul.
You haven't seen it, you haven't played it, you don't work there. You just want to shit on things people like
While all those things are likely true, Bethesda also does have a pretty consistent track record of releasing the exact same game over and over, so it's not exactly an unreasonable prediction that they'll do it again.
I’m sorry, are you calling Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim the exact same game? That’s a bit disingenuous.
Brother, these games are thirteen to thirty years old and therefore not in any way relevant to the discussion.
For our sanity we must let TES go. Since Skyrim, Bethesda has only developed Simplified Skyrim In The Wasteland, Buggy Skyrim in the Multiplayer Wasteland, and Very Boring Skyrim in Empty Space. And about a bajillion outright Skyrim re-releases.
Their current leadership is incapable of acknowledging the failures of Starfield, from uninspired game design to extremely outdated engine that holds back the very fundamental vision of the game. Since Bethesda's leadership hasn't changed or acknowledged their wrongs, we have every reason to believe that TES6 will make the same mistakes. They do not have the means of their ambition anymore.
Elder Scroll Arena 12 ftw !
And I don't understand why we should care if it's unique as long as it's fun.
Yes they are. Why the hell would you not? What a toxic comment, we haven't even seen anything about the game and you're already complaining about it simply existing.
You realize the elder scrolls games are getting less unique as they continue on in their own series... Right?
You realize Skyrim was released over 13 years ago... Right? I can't understand how this stance makes any sense.
You realize starfield is just skyrim in space right? Its the same game with a different coat of paint on it with very little change in gameplay and mechanics. How innovative of them..
You realize all these terrible opinions start with you realize?
You realize I've been doing that to keep the same old stale theme just like Bethesda?
