I really didn't like Skyrim, Fallout 3, Oblivion, Fallout 4, or 76. Still playing Morrowind and New Vegas though. I could go on about why for a looooooooong time but really don't care to. Suffice to say there are plenty of people (obviously) that are not happy with those games. I bought them all too so that would show up in sales data. Shame on me, I guess. I've been burned enough times that I'm not even going to bother being excited about this one.
But there are also tons of people who've been plenty pleased with those games, as you can see on the long tails of their sales and how many concurrent players they retain to this day. You're the odd one out on those heavy hitters. Not so much on 76, and to a lesser extent, 4.
The context of this discussion is that the top post claimed that people only are shitting on starfield because "normies" like it so none of that is relevant. All I'm saying is that there are legitimate reasons to have low expectations. The people who like those games aren't the same people complaining about Bethesda/Starfield, they are people like me who have been disillusioned with bethesda for years after a long series of disappointing releases. It is especially frustrating because we KNOW they can do better, because they have in the past. They just don't. The amount of people who will end up loving Starfield has no bearing on my ability to enjoy the game.
With that said, I'd be plenty happy for this to end up being another Morrowind or New Vegas. Now I feel I've proved my point so I'm gonna go play some Morrowind. ๐
I just think you would have made your point better if you had said maybe one decade, because two decades catches some certified bangers in the public consciousness.
