They literally said Starfield was in the making for 25 fucking years. And you see how that ended up

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I don't think they ever said that. It's their "first new IP" in 25 years, and was "in production" since 2013, likely just planning stages. In reality, production only really started after FO76, when more people were available to do actual work.

They did in one of their marketing videos

Yeah, a pretty cool game that hoards of nerds have a weird hate boner for.

Game developers do not owe anyone anything, but you'd never know it from this comment section

This is a forum about games and you're calling people nerds? Lol, go play more Madden.

And it's not a "pretty cool game", it's a step back. But hey, some people are just impressed with scale and graphics.

Sports games suck (almost always) so no thanks. I'm sorry that you're this sensitive to people who don't take every opportunity to talk shit about Bethesda. It is a fact that they've released some incredible games and also that they actually don't owe anyone anything at all

I love Bethesda, what are you on about? See, that's why making assumptions is bad lol.

No they don't owe anyone anything. Unless you consider the fact that a company owes fans a good product or else they lose those fans. Like I said, I love Bethesda, but I'm not a blind fan boy. I can see them slipping with each new release. Do you think Fallout 76, with its issues and lies they told about it never having P2W is good? So you think a huge number of barren planets adds and entertainment value? They need to start doing better because they can't rely on their past success forever.
