I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!

Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.

I'm baffled that Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag was made, and Ubisoft didn't just pivot to make better and better pirate games. Or us all as a society generally.

Like I should be sailing my customized privateer interceptor around the Caribbean with my crew of lesbian love interests, while maxing out a pistols build that lets me shoot 6 times at the start of combat from 6 pistols hanging off my character.

Skull and Bones was meant to be that, but joke company lmao. I guess they worried it was too far out from core series appeal?

Also waow-based

There's still AssCreed Rogue, even if the cool piratey bits fell off kitty-cri
