re: OFFICIAL: Starfield release date trailer, 9-6-23, Direct on June 11

You can paint any studio as "the worst" if you tried hard enough.

Making games is hard. The only thing I would hold against a studio is development crunch and sadly that's probably prevalent with almost every game developer.


And I'm not here to debate the faults of one studio or another. Starfield got a release date and I'm beyond hype. You won't kill that as hard as you try to make me see how awful Bethesda and Howard are.

I’m not trying to kill your hype dude lol. Enjoy and play what you want but modern Bethesda and Todd Howard aren’t exactly hi class game developers and x109 when developing new IPs. And no you can’t make any studio out to be “the worst.”

I can make legit great cases for blizzard, Ubisoft, etc. CDPR for frickkng up launching Cyper has completely done something Bethesda has never done and made it the game it initially meant to be completely without slave mod labor. They don’t make shitty micro transaction filled store fronts it’s a narrative led story branching RPG generally big in scope for a a one time price.

FromSoft does the same; excluding content heavy new material dlcs for both. Now CDPR makes shitty micro games but they’re mobile lame shite no one cares about.

Ubi virtue signals more than anyone while making interns suck their dicks in elevators and just makes games facades for the smallest budget possible while employing teams and floors of psychological experts to get you to spend 10$ to not have to grind for 40 hours in AC

I care for several reasons.

It makes their games objectively worse as a natural byproduct of the revenue split pienchart invested and revenue

I care because they public face like woke ****s and in private Rape low level devs

And none of this is unique to Ubisoft. Bethesda games haven’t gotten worse and suffered you believe because to motivation for a finished launches product is gone due to preorder controlled press gaurenteed sells and patch ability with modern tech? Or how they can have 6 devs making the game but 50 psychologist working to get that store working day one and ensuring you spend asap

Such a fricking brain dead loser take. Something you love is objectively getting worse because industry practice? Just give up on it!!! You would’ve been a British loyalist for sure and ratted out your neighbors .

It’s not “trying hard” when it’s well documented for a decade and trying to get things moving positively for studios and consumers again you’re just a cuck

It is colloquially dominant language now when used in the appropriate manner which I am doing. I agree it is cringe and stupid as frick when it isnt used properly and thrown everywhere like the opposite reaction of racist but failing studios are using wokeness as a shield. It is a fact. It is documented an verified and their exposed company culture more cements they dont believe a fricking word of it. Not pushing back on this excuse by companies to make shittier and more trimmed back budget games stuffed with psych techniques to train you to play the store front does make you a cuck. If not outright fighting back directly then by telling someone who is sick of it to just go do something else frick his lifelong hobby.

It is a weak take and i dont think it reflects youre a bad person. I think youve been beaten and subversed into accepting shite and paying for the enjoyment of it instead of wanting better which forces a hard introspective look that I am in fact right

2-2 on shite show threads

but a lot of the people who've worked on these games for years, going back to the Dagerfall days, are still there

Lol. The video in the op even shows that one guy testing oblivion from almost 20 years ago to starfield today

I dunno what you're on about. I'm just giving my friend some grief.

I watched the Noclip doc on Bethesda and most of the people interviewed are still with them. Jeff Gardiner, lead producer on Fallout 4 and project lead on 76, left to start his own studio but per his twitter he still keeps in touch with people from the Bethesda.
