Bethesda honcho says Starfield is 'the best game we've ever made' in massive bout of amnesia

Anyway, apparently Bethesda hasn't been too dissuaded by the lukewarm reception its space sim got. Pagliarulo says it's now joined Fallout and Elder Scrolls on the podium as one of Bethesda's "big three”.

What a bunch of fucking clowns. Smoked too much copium it looks like.

"This is, of course, a slightly wild thing for the studio that made Morrowind (its actual best game) and Skyrim (its most popular game by miles) to say"

Accurate

Emil, Howard, and Hines are why Bethesda can't make good games anymore. Corporate hacks that have pushed for more mundane gameplay with every new game.

They also spearheaded piecemeal DLCs and consistently try to find ways to monetize mods.

I think that's ultimately it. The next TES is going to be a disaster.

What do you mean Skyrim? Morrowind was clearly the best game they ever made.

Tons of people still play Skyrim.

Something tells me that, in 10 years, few if any will still be playing Starfield.

talk about smelling their own farts

This is the attitude that forced Blizzard to rework everything about themselves, caused FFXIV to launch in a disastrous state, and made Concord

I'd wait to see if fans are still trying to port Starfield to new engines in 20 years before I start talking about my company's "best" work.

Wanting something to be true doesn’t make it so. I played, and I even enjoyed big parts of it (after heavily modding, to be fair). I think it got more hate than it deserved, but in no reality can it be considered a really good game, let alone their best.

Sounds like more "toxic positivity".

And Rings of Power is the best Tolkien adaptation.

I like starfield. Maybe it's not for everyone, but I think the amount of shit it gets is unwarranted.

Even disregarding just how bad starfield is, Emil is the literal worst person to say this. He is completely, shockingly incompetent when it comes to his job.

dementia is a terrible disease

"New Thing Is Best Thing" is just the statement sales guys make when they're selling the New Thing.

They're going to re-release Skyrim for the thousandth time next week and claim it's also the best game they've ever made.

Considering his credits for "creation" include Fallout 76 and Starfield, Starfield is the best he's had a hand in creating.

I wonder if there is some definition gap in what Bethesda thinks makes a good game and what make a good game in the eyes of players.

They have probably done a lot behind the scenes improvements that warrants them to say that this has been the best to work on, but clearly it's not the best to play.

Gaslighting much, are they?

Sounds like he hasn't play the other games

Skyrim sucks too
