Graphine,

Yeah. Skyrim is my top 5 favorite games of all time but I got issues with that game for sure. It’s not perfect. But damn is it a blast.

Feeling the same with Starfield, I got issues, but the core of it is so fun. Having way more fun with it than Fallout 4.

Graphine,

Fair warning about NG+: Think long and hard about it when you do. That is all.

Graphine,

I find this hard to believe. At this point Switch 2 “rumors” have just been used for clickbait now.

I think they’re working on it but it won’t be for awhile.

Had these guys all the time on Offerup. Tried selling my DS for $50 which was a reasonable price, in good condition too. And some jackass had the audacity to ask for $5. Even when I put firm price.

I just tell beggars like that to fuck off. Now I use FB Marketplace.

Graphine,

I don’t have a problem with some mods being sold. My issue is when you price it initially for free and THEN decide later to charge money for it. That’s within your rights of course, but don’t expect people to not get pissed off enough to pirate it.

Starfield…doesn’t suck though.

I’ve sunk 20 hours into it so far and it’s amazing. You people just have your expectations up the ass for a company that is great at one formula and expect them to do the other when they never said they would. It’s ya’lls fucking fault for expecting No Mans Sky to be the greatest fucking game of all time at release over a company that made fucking Joe Danger.

Cyberpunk 2077 I can understand more as it was made from the guys who made The Witcher 3, so feature wise I can understand the betrayal and they fucked up by lying to us. But it’s still ya’lls fault for expecting it to not be buggy and broken as fuck when it was delayed 3 fucking times. The red flags were there, and you STILL bought it.

Oblivion and Skyrim have the same basic formula with little differences sprinkled in here and there mechanics wise that make it feel different, but familiar. Starfield is the same way and I fully expect ES 6 to do the same. But that’s fine. I don’t want anything groundbreaking. I just want Skyrim but with modern graphics, animations, different setting, and some new mechanics.

Good god you people are negative.

Graphine,

TBH the faces look fine for me. At least on major NPCs that have a role. All of the NPCs out in the cities are the ones that look wonky. I give it a pass though considering you’d have to be fucking staring at them immensely to actually notice.

Either way, modders will take care of it. That’s the beauty of these games. Anything remotely dumb that Bethesda overlooks, (which is every game) will be fixed.

Still having a ton of fun.

Graphine,

Yes. It’s fucking awesome.

Overhype? Please give me an example of overhyping. That whole, “See that mountain? You can climb it” meme was legitimately true. And he actually said you can WALK to it. Misquote. So there’s one debunked.

And no, they really don’t keep their PR vague. They had a fucking 40 minute direct all about the game several months before release. How much more specific do people need it to be? Anyone who has ever played a Bethesda game knows what to expect. And even if you haven’t, it doesn’t take fucking rocket science to just analyze the game and figure out how it works by using your god damn ears and eyes when watching the direct/gameplay trailers. They’re not blatently lying like Hello Games did. They flat out showed the cutscene system when landing and taking off, and even Todd himself said there would be loading screens in several interviews.

neither are the usual criticisms of Bethesda games half-assing everything from accessibility to writing to various gameplay elements.

So the entire writing is half assed in Skyrim? Really? Even though it’s extremely memorable, the Dark Brotherhood questline is still considered among the greatest they’ve ever written, and Morrowinds story is considered GOAT to this day?

I can absolutely understand Fallout 4. That was a major step back and I do not like that games story. It was boring and generic, along with the dialogue. Fallout 3 was a bit better but not by much. But seriously? Every single Bethesda Game? As for gameplay elements you’ll have to be more specific.

Getting really sick of Bethesda fans shitting on anyone with criticism of their precious game company while whining about how toxic gaming culture is with zero self-awareness.

If you’re ok with Bethesda never innovating that’s fine, but stop trying yti shut down other people’s valid criticisms or acting like they’re stupid for expecting and wanting higher quality releases.

Bethesda has plenty of things in their games to critique. Nobody is denying that. I already critiqued earlier. And I don’t have a problem with criticism. My issue is when people critique a NEW game they haven’t even fucking played yet based off of things that existed before in previous games, or just a vertical video recording leak. And then better yet, playing the game and just scraping the barrel for the littlest shit, quirks, to call it “garbage” because it’s tradition and they want to feel validated and big. That’s not critique. That’s just being a fucking idiot.

If you don’t like Bethesda games, fine. I think the majority of people who are bitching anyway are just folks who don’t like them to begin with. Which makes even less sense as to WHY they feel the need to. Bottom line, you don’t got to like Starfield or any Bethesda game, but come up with some legitimate arguments first. And most importantly, JUST DON’T FUCKING PLAY IT.

Other than that, I fail to understand why people want to shit on Bethesda nowadays and act like the games are complete trash when they’ve won 4 game of the year awards already. So if you have any legitimate criticism, please feel free to add to it. Please explain why Bethesda is just a trashy company apparently.

Edit: That’s what I thought.

Graphine,

Was replying to you, dude above, and everyone else.

Graphine,

I prefer story heavy RPGs

They need to innovate

Dude, I’m sorry, but what the fuck is this? Bethesda games have always been story heavy. I’ve put 23 hours into this game so far and have seen combat maybe once an hour because I get so sucked into the story and lore. The same happened for Skyrim the more I played. I’m sorry it wasn’t memorable for you for whatever fucking reason, but the fact that the game and its story has been memed to death and is still talked about means it’s clearly memorable. Fuck me even Oblivion was arguably much more story heavy, and I LOVE that games story.

Since when did they NEED to innovate? I mean I could understand the argument for needing to vastly improve animations, facial expressions, etc. But they’re not Apple. Why change something that already works? Clearly Bethesda fans and even some critics don’t have a problem with the existing formula. Because it works. There’s nothing wrong with it, and it’s fun. And it’s not like Bethesda doesn’t introduce anything new to their games. The base building in Fallout 4 was the best fun I had with that game, and even that was a disappointment.

Anything else?

Graphine,

Why you getting downvoted? It is, it’s right here lmao:

reddit.com/r/TrueUnpopularOpinion/s/5Yo3a1fh7p

Fucking karma holders.

Edit: Pussy deleted it. Ha.

Graphine,

Stolen from Reddit

Fuck you.

Graphine,

This is it.

I was disappointed at the fast travel mechanics in the game as it seems gratuitous, but over time and from intentional balancing, I got used to it.

When you let that go it ends up being REALLY good. Other than that mechanic, I expected Skyrim/Fallout in space and that’s exactly what they delivered. And as an advid Skyrim player who put hundreds of hours into it, I am happy.

Graphine,

Not all of them actually. A lot of them are really good, especially the Crimson Fleet side quests. You can actually join them which is really cool. I always wanted to join bandits in Skyrim and this is basically it.

Graphine,

I really want to do the ship building, really. I just feel like it might be a waste of time. I mean there isn’t really much content out in space which sucks. The BASE building which I’ve messed with though…it’s really good.

Graphine,

…You don’t just pick up garbage. The whole thing is about exploring POI. That’s what Bethesda excells at. Plus the well implemented RPG elements and story elements. That’s why people play these games including myself.

It sounds like Bethesda games just aren’t for you. Which is okay. I hate the Souls games but it would be aggregious to say they’re bad.

Graphine,

Honestly this is the best thing I’ve read so far and makes me feel so much better. Thank you. And I think I’m just going to constantly remind myself who I am while I’m there, and just play along with the stupid little game.

Graphine,

Lmao I’ve been getting this bug too. Sometimes my helmet won’t show up in no atmosphere environments. It fixes though if I go back inside my ship.

Graphine,

That’s the problem though. While antimatter exists, which has negative mass, it exists only in small amounts, and you’d have to have a massive amount of it to accomplish such a feat. We’d need to find a way to create it.

And don’t get me started on the other problematic aspects of it, like space debris.

Graphine,

I mean, the “other priorities” comment does seem to be in bad taste. But as for the comment on the future of Lemmy, I dunno. I feel like they’re just being realistic. I think the majority of us understand the devs have lives but if things don’t get sorted out soon enough it could impact the future of Lemmy.

Graphine,

I know this is getting downvoted but holy fuck I’m laughing

Graphine,

The frustration comes from the fact that r/piracy is still up on Reddit and they specifically don’t allow links or references.

So, in a way they’re being much more strict than Reddit, which is a much bigger and well known site. I can understand a little bit of the frustration.

Graphine,

I’ve been on the internet a long time and have never heard that term for it in my life.

Weird.
