To this day I'm still not sure what the point of releasing that teaser trailer was. It has been 6 years.

Remember TES6 was announced like 7 years ago at this point

Once even the modders said they weren’t going to touch Starfield because it was too boring, I knew it was over for Bethesda.

I think The Witcher 4 will be an incredible game, but CDPR shares a lot of the same issues Bethesda has. Especially releasing broken games on console. People seem to forget but TW3 had broken quests, visual bugs, corrupted saves, and other annoyances like Roach disappearing and players having to walk 10 minutes to the nearest sign post. The reason CDPR gets a "pass" with most people is because they eventually fix the game themselves. Bethesda on the other hand just ignores the issues and waits for modders to address them.

Gamers will give passes to load screens and graphics no problem if the game was good

Starfield issues were it was kinda bland, non of the companions were memorable or had unique identities and opinions, throw in some bugs and you get a game you play once then forget about

If Bethesda does improve and get with the times they could do something great. Who knows but no one has that trust or hope atm

[daviess]

Also their engine. Gotta be at least 15 years old at this point

[Tazato]

I really think they are in too deep with the technical debt. Unwilling to abandon an engine that clearly can not adapt to meet the expectations of players today, Bethesda will languish.

I disagree with Luke's sentiment that if starfield released several years ago, it would've been met with praise. The reason why I disagree is because of how bland, empty and boring the game is, as well the amount of your time it wastes when it comes to traveling and exploring. The main thing that's baffling about the game is that it pales in comparison to every Bethesda game that came before, and that Bethesda had a much worse version of the game that they were ready to launch and Phil Spencer and the execs at Xbox told them they needed to work on the game more before they could launch it, which is extremely telling lol.

All in all, the game is a great example of how far the company has fallen and how unorganized they are, out of touch and quite frankly cynical they have become..

[scottwilliams]

Whats sad is they make the same game like 5 or 6 times over 10 years and it doesnt improve

[JayAndNightASMR]

They released Skyrim so many times they've forgotten how to do anything else well

[black-bear]

So true, Starfield is a sign of how much Bethesda has lost the way and I have zero hope for ES6 sadly

[kail]

More like decades behind. They never really moved on from skyrim’s success.

[huskytzu]

Wait till GTA6 comes out with the same third person shooter gameplay with profanities.

[DeavtheDev]

Watching Todd deny and avoid acknowledging that starfield sucks and is boring is like watching Intervention when the Alcoholic on the verge of dying from drinking claims they aren't addicted

[scottdixon]

By the time TES6 actually releases, itll have been announced a decade plus ago. The teaser was already 7 years ago. So its gonna be a game using what was impressive a decade ago.

[axel]

As things are right now i am just as worried about the witcher 4 as i am about TES6...

[-ZeroRed-]

It is really shocking how time flies. The trailer was like 6/7 years ago... Kinda blows my mind.

[zc]

Bethesda doesn't deserve TES or Fallout. Please Microsoft, give them to a better studio. PLEASE

[Dinosaurman]

Elderscrolls is their bread and butter if they can’t get that right then they’re fucked.

Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim have all been amazing comfort games to play, immersive, great soundtrack, nice visuals and varying great to ok dialogue
