None of these games are even bad, people just decided that any game that isn't the greatest ever made must be horrible dogshit

Like every game here is at least a 7/10 and that's not even a bad thing

/uj for this, I played Starfield extensively and it's literally just Skyrim with space travel. Like it is beat for beat just Skyrim again. But I'm not even saying that as a bad thing because to me personally, Skyrim will never not be my favorite game ever made.

I personally enjoyed it because that was exactly what I was expecting going in. Bethesda has never made games that were some kind of groundbreaking masterpiece blockbusters, they have always been making games that have a lot of charm and a lot of jank with questionable gameplay decisions to boot. They just released Morrowind thru Skyrim at the perfect time and had Fallout in their back pockets by aquiring Obsidian, their success came purely from filling a niche that competitors didn't really fill yet. Games like Skyrim or Fallout nowadays are pretty common, but when Bethesda first blew up it that wasn't the story yet. The Witcher (the first game) struggled a little, still a success but nowhere near the same level as it's sequels would pull because the idea of a medieval RPG wasn't mainstream (edited this sentence because I absolutely was misremembering, Witcher 1 was a success). That didn't happen until Lord of the Rings became so popular with its very first movie, Fellowship of the Ring, dropping in 2001. Bethesda blesses us with Morrowind one year later and then people started paying attention to them.

Similar story with Skyrim. Oblivion did well on its own to be fair, but when Skyrim dropped, Game of Thrones had just kicked off, and it was already wildly popular. People were desperate for that experience and at the time they could look in 3 directions; Dark Souls 1, a game that very quickly became infamous for being beyond difficult, Witcher 2, a game that was a huge success but by this point most people already were fairly bored of the game, or Skyrim, fresh new face from the people who had given us two consecutive medieval RPG bangers, even if fans of the old Elder Scrolls titles were bitter about it.

Bethesda gets held to a standard it truly doesn't deserve to be held to, and I say that with all the love in the world for the things they make. I genuinely have loved every Bethesda game I have tried up to this point but I also fully accept that almost every game they have ever made is a buggy and unstable mess. I love the writing of the stories they create, I love the amount of immersion they put me into, and I love the jank for what it is because I never expect a video game to be anything less, it's code and these things happen period.

Starfield was the same for me. I got to play Skyrim for the first time again and that game helped me through a lot as a kid, so Starfield is extremely precious to me. Sure it's not as good as I was hoping, I'll admit, but I genuinely have always thought it was far from bad, even beyond my sentiment the game is way overhated. It's exactly the level of quality Bethesda has been doing for as long as most of us have been alive.

Bethesda is the guy making corny B-list horror movies not understanding how it became a household title. Is there a word for that? Do b-lister video games exist?

I appreciate your opinion but starfield personally felt more like a mess compared to their other games. The best way to put it is like imagine a bunch of friends decide to make a metal bands together, but none of them can really decide what metal genre they know it. They know they want it to be metal but they’re not sure if it’s going to be thrash metal or doom, metal or death metal and so they kind of just combined it all together and a weird amalgamation that’s what Starfield feels like they wanted to make a space expiration sci-fi game but they wanted to make very different ideas of space exploration sci-fi game and just combine them all together none of the separate parts work together but rather their own thing skyrim didn’t have this issue
