There’s a reason Bethesda’s become a giant in gaming.
Yes, their old masterpieces.
They have a specific storytelling
Being honest, their storytelling feels very outdated by now, even old trilogies like Mass Effect and Bioshock had a storytelling that has aged far better; not to mention TW3, RDR2 and just recently Baldur's Gate 3.
something about Bethesda games just makes them unreplaceable(?)
I never played a Bethesda game before this year. Somehow, even without nostalgia playing a role I really enjoyed Starfield! Once again begging, pleading, extremely online gamers to realize that their subjective tastes are just that and not a reflection of a game’s objective quality.
That’s exactly what I keep saying. Except I’m begging people to realize it’s a mediocre game with lazy world building, lazy writing, dated janky game systems, poor performance, and stapled on features.
People are allowed to enjoy it and love it. But that doesn’t make it an objectively good game.
I could write paragraph after paragraph about why it’s a mediocre game that does not in any category stack up against its modern competition.
It feels like a game from 10 years ago. It is objectively bad. But you are still allowed to love it. No one is stopping you from having fun.
Ok. But when you make claims on your own subjective experience I am compelled to. The only category that Starfield excels in is # of lines of dialogue.

"something" is called nostalgia.
