    The Bethesda that created Skyrim is not the same company that it is now. There is no guarantee they can make an amazing game again. Don't pre-purchase their games and wait for it to come out first

  • @AleBeard117
    @AleBeard117 12 годин тому

    the real and honest answer is: No. we have built a mythos of expectations around this company that they can never live up to. i think itll be good, if not one of their best. but no it wont live up to OUR hype

  • @annmoore321
    @annmoore321 19 годин тому

    I never got on the hype train for Starfield because I am not a sci-fi girly. I have always been more into fantasy. That said, after the lackluster reviews of Starfield, my expectations for TESVI have dropped significantly. I don’t know if Bethesda can reach the heights that they did before, and to be honest, I am okay with that. I can always go back and replay Skyrim, and the modding community ensures there will always be something new to enjoy.

  • @andipajeroking
    @andipajeroking 20 годин тому

    Not the pinnacle? Tell me another new action sandbox fantasy rpg...... The saving grace of skyrim is that it was made in a period were games were still good.

    We have never been used to Bethesda releasing banger after banger, because that has never happened. Mae have shittier alliteration after even shittier alliteration. That’s Bethesda’s output in this universe

  • @peterd.meredith3580
    @peterd.meredith3580 День тому

    Bethesda and their 'Creation Engine' are dysfunctional, and no amount of hype by Tod Howard can fix the situation. So ES6 is going to be another dud, it's just that simple. Now you can 'hope for the best' if you chose... But I'm not planning on buying ES6. A friend bought Starfield for me and I played it enough to experience it's limitations. So I'm no longer interested in Bethesda and thier games.

  • @DaytonaRoadster
    @DaytonaRoadster День тому

    im not worried, i have accepted the fact its going to be terrible, but we wont even see it for another 5-10 years anyway. I doubt Bethesda will still be there that long

    Expect the worst and maybe youll be plesently suprised if it comes out good. As long as it has a good gameplay loop, the modders will fix the rest. Also bethesda's paid mod scandal of summer 2024 shows that they havent learned thier lesson. Tod needs to either do some mushrooms and rethink his life or hire someone more competent

  • @victorducoulombier9297
    @victorducoulombier9297 День тому

    I mean this is simple : if you do an really good game as skyrim, you will continue selling it decades after its release... So why don't focus on the game... But I want to give a last chance to bethesda. The fact that there is no communication on the development of the game is good. Focus on the cooking...

    Look on the bright side: if it’s not good, then in a couple of years the community will turn it into the best game ever created. And if it is good the community will still turn it into the best game ever created.

    Fallout 4 was trash conpared to the old ones amd 76 and starfield were so abysmally bad that we all look at fallout 4 like ot was a good game. In reality bethesda has been dead for over an entire decade. Im the biggest hethesda fanboy but we need to be real and acknowledge theyre done making good games.

  • @Erowens98
    @Erowens98 3 дні тому

    Bethesda has fallen off. Everything they're released recently has been mid at best. Where as before the jank was due to ambitious scope, now its due to laziness. I do not believe Bethesda in its currents state is capable of doing ES6 justice.

    Something interesting to me is that when Skyrim came out it was in no way perfect. it was buggy as shit on launch...they just fixed a lot of the issues. it just sounds like the bugginess on launch thing has gotten 10x worse for new games in the last decade. I STILL HAVE HOPE

    I still play Skyrim now. I think it's one of the best games ever made! I love sci-fi. But I have zero interest in Starfield. It feels empty, soulless. As if the game was an after thought at the end of a long meeting..

    Skyrim had no activism in it...I doubt that a company owned by Microsoft will be able to steer clear of SBI and all the failures (like ppl like me not buying the game, like I didn't buy Starfield, or TLoU2, or Spiderman 2, or the heaps of trash that activists are churning out in the dead skin suits of our IPs) so I guess we have FromSoftware, and (hopefully, but not looking good) CDPR...everything else sucks.

    Skyrim was a continuation of what we got in es4 and 3, I’d even say it was a step back from the rpg mechanics we got in oblivion (skyrim is one of my favourite games of all time though don’t get it twisted, but it isn’t as ground breaking and innovative as you’re saying it is). And Starfield isn’t some trash game. you can still get hundreds of hours out of it and it has a lot of genuinely fresh feeling experiences. It does have its problems but over time I think players will come around (ex. Fallout 4 initial release). To me, I don’t think es6 should be some crazy new approach to elder scrolls. Expand on what we had in the last few games, updated graphics and game mechanics, expand the lore. That’s all I ask

  • @JohnDoe-iv7yu

    @direbearcoat7551 6 днів тому

    I didn't know there as an ES6 in the pipeline. As intrigued by this news as I am, after hearing about it, I must confess that I've never been one of those "early adapter" types. I always wait a few years before jumping in. Presumably, the bug fixes and additional content gets added in by that time (sometimes).
