I’m sure the shareholders don’t think so, and a lot of the fans are fine. Starfield is the RPG equivalent of Madden 2024 and some folks were expecting Football Manager. Doesn’t mean anyone has to like it who loved old Bethesda games.
I’m pretty sure OP means that THEY want Bethesda to have new leadership and, me too
Among my top ten favorite games: Morrowind Oblivion Skyrim Fallout 3 Fallout new vegas Fallout 4
Starfield is definitely fallout/elder scrolls in space. Morrowind and fallout new vegas, despite being very dated, I think are better than what I’ve seen so far in Starfield
I’m still enjoying the game and think your comparison is overtly insulting to the game. We aren’t going to get that old magic back. Every game franchise gets watered down as the years go by in an attempt to maximize market share, it’s just a fact of life, and part of the ecosystem that gives us games in the first place.
Give it a few months and grab some mods and it’ll be just like to good old days
I get that we shouldn’t have to do that, but actually we kinda do. Better than not having a game at all.
Yeah but don't you realize that the UI sucks and therefore Todd Howard and all of the leadership team needs to be fired?!
starfield isnt even in the same universe as madden 24. thats an insane comparison lol
True.
Starfield is set in the future.
Bethesda did start out by making the first Madden game though.
Both are mass market theme park games. Madden has a different pricing model but make no mistake the type of gamer (not genre) target audience is largely overlapping. These are games for casual players first
