Can We Still Consider Bethesda A Top-Tier Developer?

Bethesda has been one of the gaming giants present in the gaming industry for the past 30 years. It used to really mean something when a Bethesda title was going to launch. But the question is, is this a deserved reaction anymore?

If you’re having to ask yourself this question then you already know the answer.

I think the final verdict is waiting for Elder Scrolls VI

Skyrim was fantastic but I think that's where people started to catch on with the bugs and the like

Fallout 4 was a bit of a let down but maybe they'll will learn their mistakes and get a new engine, possibly stop streamlining the RPG elements to make it even more accessible.

Fallout 76 was grim, where you knew something was up and they weren't the same as before. Todd lying on stage like that, I will never not hear Little Lies by Fleetwood Mac and not think of that moment at E3.

Starfield just didn't deliver

So it's down to Elder Scrolls VI whether it's the final nail or not

I just find it funny with the way they are going, there's still people out there who scream for co-op in the mainline Elder Scrolls / Fallout games. Like they can't seem to even do a single player game, why do people still want them to take on more than they can chew. It's insane thinking.

isarai134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

Same, like as of now they definitely aren't, but I feel everyone is looking at ES6 as their opportunity to catch themselves before completely falling from grace. If ES6 doesn't deliver, I don't see them getting the same level of attention anymore, and people will start to look elsewhere for a similar RPG experience to what they used to deliver.

If they're still using their old ass engine then no way. If they change it then maybe they have a chance.

Skyrim was loved by people. I can't play it it long playthroughs but I like it in doses. Fallout 4 was dope but man it was dumbed down, heavily. Fallout 76 was atrocious, although I've read it was better I'm still not attracted to online so I can't really rate the game. I ain't gonna lie I did play it for probably 20 hours total then I started realizing I had to pay for storage. Yea man fk that. I just wish atleast with Fallout they could've built on what obsidian was doing with new vegas. I don't really care about the engine stuff. Just make a less dumbed down game. No lie I never realized the ladders were not usable in their games though. I find that hilarious. Such a weird thing.

"then I started realizing I had to pay for storage. Yea man fk that."

As soon as I realised that, I sat the controller down and stared into space, trying to comprehend the greediness and stupidity of that design choice. My entire playstyle revolves around exploring and hoarding as much equipment and ammo as I can.

Once I snapped back to reality I immediately uninstalled the game.

thorstein134d ago

I agree with everything you said except Fallout 4. That's one of my favorite Fallouts.

anast134d ago

If they mess up ES6, which I will be able to play because the SX will be at a discount as I predicted, Bethesda is done.

ChasterMies134d ago

“I think the final verdict is waiting for Elder Scrolls VI”

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 3 times and I will withhold judgment until the final verdict.

isarai133d ago

You weren't fooled if you seen it coming and never bought it.

Sonic1881133d ago (Edited 133d ago )

"So it's down to Elder Scrolls VI whether it's the final nail or not"

The only issue I have with that is that we're going to have to wait another 5-6 years before we play ES6. It won't be coming out this generation for sure

recoctimocassirnff133d ago

According to wikipedia, (which is not a reliable source in the least) ES6 will be using the creation engine 2. If that is true, the game is going to be terribly and BGS is dead to me.

No, they are deving less quality than the reputable indie companies out there.

dmonee134d ago

Starfield left such a bad taste in my mouth im going to say “No!” to this headline. If Starfield was an xbox X launch title I would still be disappointed. Perhaps I set my expectations too high and it is what it is. Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 5 or maybe even a new IP from them, could give them an opportunity to redeem themselves

Crows90133d ago

A huge disappointment. and then us real Bethesda fans have to try to get through the fanboy noise so Bethesda can get the message. Being an exclusive has hurt Bethesda badly.....they don't get the proper feedback

CrimsonWing69134d ago

Lately they haven’t been, so… if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck 🤷‍♂️

Should have happened a long time ago. People wanting refunds after 50 hours in game.

Pc gamers will take this as an excuse to pirate things

KyRo23h ago

I'm not sure why you're getting disgrees. Whilst not all PC gamers are petty, an awful lot of them are lol

Crows9023h ago

Entirely untrue. Not any more petty than console gamers. The only large difference is console gamers don't have much of a choice.

Michiel198914h ago

Not sure why you're getting agrees. an awful lot of console gamers are overemotional twinks ready to go to war over a plastic box, I'll take being a pc gamer then.

Speaking about overgeneralizing much.

"X" type of gamer conversations are cringe

qalpha23h ago

Daily reminder that 'TheGamer' is a corporate-generated, anti-gamer, anti-consumer, clickbait web site. They are mostly A.I. generated articles that villainize gamers. They provide nothing positive and actively try to provoke and divide the community through extreme view points and politics. Do not give them any clicks.

Inverno23h ago

Only scumbags? As if people don't play their games on console put in the most amount of hours and return it to GameStop and trade it in for another game. But also how many people are actually do this? And what games have been allowed to be refunded?

DustMan23h ago

You can refund any game you've purchased as long as it hasn't been longer than two weeks, and you've played less than 2 hours. I wish they would change it to 3 hours because some RPG's have so much exposition that you may only get an hour total of complete gameplay. That's my only knock on it. I've refunded plenty of stuff I was just curious to try. I typically stay away from Early Access titles which are the only ones affected by this policy change.

Inverno22h ago

Apparently early access doesn't count, only complete games with a play early preorder bonus.

Gaming4Life198123h ago

I definitely know if I want a refund in 2 hours.

SegaSaturn66914h ago

I never liked refunding anything. Even if a film is bad, i dont want my money back. Sometimes things just aren't for me, and it's not the creator's fault necessarily.

Gaming4Life19819h ago

I feel you and i have never walked out on a bad movie cause I payed my money. I also don't refund games cause I'm a gamer and I know what to buy lol. I think having a digital refund is great.

Dayum did I hit a nerve. Sorry for not liking most of this gens games coming from PS, not really doe.

Cacabunga1d 19h ago

Hopefully doesn’t take them a complete gen to release it

TheColbertinator1d 13h ago

Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.

Stopac1d 11h ago

I too like to look for things in the wrong places.
