Sounds like more "toxic positivity".

dementia is a terrible disease
Skyrim sucks too
Come on now seriously?
Honestly it wasn't bad but it wasn't great. For the period in which it was released it was graphically meh, the combat was shit, the exploration was meh minus with copy pasta generic boring cave, enemies and boring ass loot, the NPC were dumb as rocks, the questing was about being the dog in a game of fetch, the RPGing was on rail, the storyline was... Wait there was storyline? Oh yeah, you're the one, go kill a dragon for some reason. Eh, sure whatev' and the writing was... Well... Nothing to write about. :D
And of course, if was full of bugs and glitches and unfinishable quest that borks your save as one can expect from Bethesda.

Every word of this applies to every major Bethesda release since Morrowind. Starfield, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, they're all the same half-baked game with an empty and oversized sandbox, just with a different aesthetic.

"This is, of course, a slightly wild thing for the studio that made Morrowind (its actual best game) and Skyrim (its most popular game by miles) to say"
Accurate
talk about smelling their own farts
Yeah.
It's so depressing.
Like you telling me out of 250 developers on Starfield, nobody is losing their shit that this project isnt at all critically acclaimed like many of their other releases?
"New Thing Is Best Thing" is just the statement sales guys make when they're selling the New Thing.
They're going to re-release Skyrim for the thousandth time next week and claim it's also the best game they've ever made.
Even disregarding just how bad starfield is, Emil is the literal worst person to say this. He is completely, shockingly incompetent when it comes to his job.
Tons of people still play Skyrim.
Something tells me that, in 10 years, few if any will still be playing Starfield.
I don't play FO4 anymore either. I will say I appreciate the stories, but their attempts to make games you can live in just don't measure up anymore. Not when you have games like no man's land and satisfactory. We know just how comfy a game can be.
I mean, I do, to see what new mods are out.
Gun modding is an absolute shit show btw. Everyone tries to make their guns use the real or unique calibers and it's kind of a massive pain.
do people play it now? never hear about it anymore.
I have started a complete new game 2 days ago and have again a lot of fun with Starfield. Can't wait to see all the new content from the DLC.
I would say that Starfield is the best NASA punk planet exploration RPG Bethesda has ever made

I played 100 hours of Starfield. I dont remember much of it to be honest, nor am I interested in going back.
And yet I picked up Elden Ring back up like half a dozen times since release.
All I remember is getting a legendary double barrel and sending enemies flying. Also like two quests.
According to SteamDB: [edit:Starfield has] around 10k every day which is about the same as Hogwarts Legacy, Bloons TD6, and No man's Sky
Which version is that? The original Skyrim (aka oldrim) isn't even purchasable on steam and hidden unless you bought it back then. But some people still play that because some old mods only support oldrim.
Special edition is the main one now. It's holding 30k very steadily since 2020 https://steamdb.info/app/489830/charts/#breakdown
Many of modders also moved to gog version, myself included. Because I can permanently version control on gog unlike stream.
I was talking about Starfield (i get how my comment isn't precise in that way now, i'll add an edit.. oops)
that's sad
Why? It has one of the biggest modding communities in gaming, so there's a lot for people to like about it still, assuming they're fine with modding it.
because it's slop. there are so many more games to play that have better writing, direction, characters, environments, exploration, combat, RPG elements, and overall design.
I don't get Bethesda fans insisting on modding bland ass games. you can play a game that's better to begin with.

Why? I just played the original Deus Ex like two months ago? Is that sad too?
the original deus ex is a masterpiece. you should be playing that every other year minimum. what the fuck kind of interpretation is that.

What do you mean Skyrim? Morrowind was clearly the best game they ever made.
Skyrim had their best gameplay loop, but Morrowind's writing carried the entire series. Very excited for Skywind to give me the best of both.

I love Morriwinds memory, but the gameplay was so rough to try to get back into.
