Shitty enough to survive 37 years in an industry that sees multiple studios shuttered every year.
Shitty can still be successful.
They literally live off hype then going quiet long enough for people to forget the disappointment. The older people remember and don't expect much, the middle aged people remember but are hopeful they'll be better (and that the older people are just jaded), and the younger people just fall for the hype.
This is it, this is all Bethesda is now. Constantly recycling suckers through long dev cycles and hype.
I mean, I can't say I've been there since 86, but I've been there since Morrowind and the only time I've felt let down was Fallout 4 and 76 which I didn't even bother with.
Probably just didn't play them enough /s
I actually did play F4 for a good 60 odd hours and completed two of the endings if I remember rightly, I just found it a bit of a step down RPG wise with the simplified stats and conversation. It wasn't bad though. 76 I admit I've barely played, only tried it on Gamepass for an hour or two.
Cant wait for fallout 6 in 8 years
And then another 2 for the game to be complete and fixed by mods
They literally released one of the best games of all time with Skyrim, and their previous titles were pretty damn good as well.
I mean, McDonald's is still around too. Doesn't mean it's quality food.
I had McDonalds a couple times when I was in Japan and the difference in quality was shocking. Twice as good for half the price. You can get a big mac meal with a large fry and milkshake for like 950 yen (about 6 bucks)
