There's a lot of build up for Starfield. A lot of pressure and a lot of expectations. Hoping it's decent
I feel like the game is largely an unknown at this point. We saw some gameplay but I feel like I would want to wait for reviews. Bethesda has a strong track record though so I'm hoping it should be good.
“Bethesda has a strong track record though” i mean… do they?
their games sell a lot of units but i can’t remember any time since morrowind that they launched a game that received widespread praise for anything other than its technical merits, and i say this as someone who still dips back into heavily modded TES games a few times a year :/
What exactly do you think merits a strong track record then? If a series of games consistently over the course of 20 years being highly regarded, still being played, still growing with active communities, and selling extremely well for nearly every single title you made isn't a "strong track record," then who can claim that right?
It's not even like other game franchises which "just sell a lot of units" like sports games which tend to not do anything with their formula and release the same game but worse yearly.
well the context was about the quality of the game and not how many units they sell, so :/
