Comment on Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam
CaptainEffort@sh.itjust.works 1 year agoNo worries! I’m not forcing you to not like these games, like I still I love Skyrim despite it flaws. I’m just pointing out that people have had these opinions for quite some time, and that this isn’t “revisionist history”.
Hbomberguy’s videos really are top tier tho, it’s a shame you didn’t like it. Especially when that response video was… not very good.

im sure people had their gripes but i never really saw it, at least nowhere near the scale its at now. for fallout 3 it was mostly just on the no mutants allowed forums which i believe hates every first person fallout game including the beloved new vegas. skyrim i especially never saw gripes for until people had been playing it for years, around the time fallout 4 came out i feel the negative aspects have been much more widespread. maybe its rose tinted goggles but people seem way more quick to point out the flaws of any game than having fun playing it

Yeah that’s true. I wish people could criticize things while also appreciating them.
Like, as I said, I have loads of problems with Skyrim. But I also love the game and have literally thousands of hours in it. You can love a game and still have problems with it, but I don’t think people understand that which is why you either get toxic negativity or toxic positivity with any release. Never a healthy middle ground.
As to your point about not seeing the gripes, my theory is that people had them but were much quieter since the games were so beloved. But as Bethesda’s reputation got worse they felt more confident speaking up. So there were always people that took issue with the games, but it wasn’t until recently that their opinions became so public.

i definitely have problems with fallout 4, but for me i had more fun than i had not fun, and that’s really all i care about. i have tons and tons of huge gripes with new vegas but i still played that for years on end lol. only stopping because i have done everything i possibly can with the 20 something characters ive made.
really wish the dogpiling crap would end and people can just discuss games regularly. it really does seem nowadays its either 10/10 or 0/10 with few people offering an opinion between those marks
