Bethesda, a company with an otherwise unbesmirched reputation for polish.
Yeah imagine how shitty the game would be if it was actually rushed
This is such a circle jerk. You don't like Bethesda games? Who cares. Move on. Lots of people love em
I hate Elden Ring. But I don't go on Elden Ring communities just to shit on it
You're saying that like there's one Bethesda game. I hate how banal Starfield is. I really don't like how FO4 isn't an RPG, though it's a good platform for content. Skyrim is pretty good with boring quests, especially the main quest. Oblivion is fairly good, though it started the trend of dumbing things down. Morrowind is spectacular. It gives players tools to play with and freedom to figure them out. The writing is generally fantastic. The world feels like it was a world and not a theme park.
I love Bethesda games. I hate the direction they've been heading for a long time. I doubt that's going to change, but it certainly won't if people keep quite about it.
It sounds like you love one Bethesda game that came out 22 years ago
I like most of their games. Starfield is the one where I don't think it's got anything worth playing because it's all so disconnected and the writing is horrible.
I would say I love Morrowind, FO3, and Oblivion. Essentially, I like the games that give the player systems to play with, not ones that hold your hand and have a specific way they want them to be played.
People dont like Bethesda. The games are alright.
It wouldn't just be unpolished if they rushed it that much. Thier development cycles are still about the same length as other companies, even despite the lack of polish.
