As a new bethesda fan im starting to switch over to obsidian studio game so far outer wilds seems pretty good and now there making a game called avowed which is like skyrim and oblivion combined it looks beautiful 🤙🏻cant wait to see what they doo with that game bethesda pls step up your shit 🥲🥲🥲😭😭😭

wrong answer oblivion was shit MORROWIN IS GOD. FRK U

Bethesda definitely is NOT using the same game engine as Morrowind because they care about modding, they are using the same game engine because they can get away with it

I hope Xbox closes Bethesda

There is something to be said about the Nth game in a series having expansions. BG3 really doesn't need a massive DLC cause there's like 6 other games in the series and if you want more from Larian, there's the Divinity games. On top of that, if Larian doesn't wanna do BG4, get a different studio. That'll keep the game fresh and transformative where as Larian could easily find themselves making an even lesser version of BG3, which some people have said is just a lesser version of DOS2. Once you get that deep into a series. As a company it's fairly easy to say "on to the next thing" or as a player "well, I can always go back to the previous games." I expect to see established series continue to do large expansions less and less, but also return to it every once in a while. Great video! Keep up the good work!

What’s good Arky! Nother banger my man

Honestly with having just finished F.E.A.R. and its expansion packs I feel the loss of good DLCs so hard. Even with games where their lifeblood is expansion packs aren't entirely immune. I honestly like watching Stephanie Sterling's videos on the same topic, because she's pointed out time and time again that the AAA sphere can absolutely afford to use the same model that the indie studios use, but if it can't make them all the money, they don't want it. They're like gambling addicts that way, insisting that the only way to win big is to make a huge bet all at once on the same numbers, then getting surprised pikachu when it doesn't land them the big win they wanted. There's also an additional factor to live service games that should be considered, and that's market saturation. As pointed out, player attention is limited, and when the player already has Fortnite, why should they play another studio's rebranded version of it? That is what the current live service market is really up against. Too many developers are trying to get in on the live service pie, and all that's left are slivers when the biggest pieces have already gone to some of the games that came first and/or did it better, with an immediate comparison between Fortnite and PUBG coming to mind. Remember when PUBG tried to sue Fortnite for being the more successful version of their game? Honestly, I think a return to DLCs in games would be excellent, because there are games where a sequel may not be warranted, but there are still some plot threads left to weave in. They can be incredibly cheap to make, since it would just be reusing the engine and assets with most of the costs going to level design, writing, voice work if needed, etc. Plus, if the base game was already successful, then the DLC would feed the player base's desire for more content and tide them over until a proper sequel can be made if one is already in the works, where it either continues the story, or starts a new one in the same universe.

🥰 New Arky video! Yay!

"We" made the bed? Who's we? Why you speakin' French, Arky??? I don't wanna play no Nintendo >:(

Me not buying them is also inevitable. I have a nearly 35 year back catalog to finish. I'll be fine without 'em.

I love FNV and Obsidian, but just gotta correct an old outdated statement. Obsidian agreed to the limited timeline and the 85 metacritic score bonus. It wasn’t some offer that Bethesda dangled over their heads. Obsidian knew before going into this project that those would have been the terms, and failure would have meant no bonus. They chose to take that risk and accept the challenge because they wanted the reputation and association with Bethesda + Fallout. Unfortunately, they simply didn’t meet the requirements of the contract. While sure, you could say “it was only off by 1 point, they should have given the bonus anyway” that’s just how contracts work. You go into a contract with the understanding that there is no “goodwill” clause, and you must reach the marks even by 1 point. They still managed to make a stellar game that’s a cult classic and still supported by modders to this very day. While it’s a shame that Obsidian as a team lost many of their core talent, they still left a lasting legacy.

20 minutes in: "This is what the video will be about" No my guy, the video is already almost over

you sound… familiar!

Bethesda's sins are greed, sloth, and hubris.

Even after releasing starfield they still haven't learned, their last game before that was eso (fallout "games" dont count, you can't count trash that you found at the dump as a game) and they just made that to sell in game content for ridiculous prices, and and top of that they have announced that they are making elder scrolls 6 using that fucking awful outdated engine of thier, real bethesda fans have been waiting so many fucking years for a new and better elder scrolls game while bethesda only gave us eso while also wasting time swimming through the dump heap for 🤢fallout🤮 and wasting even more time and resources on fucking boring and empty goddam starfield, its fucking insulting.

Stop mentioning fallout, fuck fallout, nobody plays fucking fallout

New vid when

Hope Bethesda realized that Stairfield failed not because they tried something new but because they went about it poorly

I.M.D.B. 5.7, current U.K. steam price £59. I have seen reviews, I wouldnt bother downloading it if it was free.

Bethesda writing, Bethesda writing never changes.

>echo chamber fodder >shows someone who had a point You’re a midwit

I don’t think I would dislike them as much as I do if they hadn’t proven they were petty and seemingly try to sabotage anyone who does better with their IP than they do.

I bought a new mouse from Logitech this morning and it came with a free copy of Starfield. I guess that's an indication of how well things are going.

Morrowind it's always going to be Morrowind

The point about generational cut off on bethesdas reputation also applied to blizzard. I was born in 03, and people I know and game with generally have pretty low opinions of them, even knowing the rep of the old games

6:27 oblivion is indeed the best elder scrolls, I was doom guy before I ever played doom

Big is NOT better, quality immersion is .! Get rid of the wokists running the agenda at Bethesda and get back to what you did best previously. No Planet to atmosphere to space content without loading screens is what players want and not the shit they continue to pat themselves on the back for . I have no doubt the Dark Brotherhood questline will be saturated down to an soft argument with a fairy god mother . Fallout 6 will be be about a UN mandated french crossdresser tip toeing through the rainbow tulips . Let the player friggen decide what is their moral obligations are and play how THEY want to play, instead of being railroaded by the useless woke nutjobs you've hired. Get your shit together bethesda !

The lead writer Something something Paper Airplane 30 hours making shacks because no story

I stopped watching at 3:33 when I heard him say "fallout boy" instead of vault boy.

23:12 haha we'll see

just complere denial of reality

Stop defending the engine "because modders!" Bethesda sells their shit on consoles. You can't use mods on consoles and the games need to work and provide the promised product without mods regardless. I'm not paying modders, I'm paying Bethesda. But they treat their own games with a "the modders will fix it" mentality because people keep defending it with that reason. And you wonder why each game sucks more than the last one... Well stop wondering and stop using mods as an excuse, as if other games/engines aren't also perfectly modable.

to call it skyrim in space is suchhhh an insult.

starfield getting negative reviews is a relief. hopefully they can get their shit together with tes 6.

Starfield simply is NOT a pretty good game by any standard. KCD was developed on literally one tenth of the budget in less than a quarter of the time. Don't make any excuses for that.

I've never seen a publisher known for single player rpgs so desperate to squeeze their fans for money Their business model is ridiculously insulting especially when they're competing with titans like Elden Ring & Cuberpunk just in recent years

Having passed the first Fallout game in 98 or 99(that’s 1998 or 1999, kids), upon loading Fallout 3 I was absolutely like: wtf is this shit?! 😂 It was just a fallout skin lazily pulled over the “general template Bethesda game”. Disgusting. It is still my sentiment to this day. I couldn’t care less whether it was 3D-it doesn’t impress me or anyone else, for that matter, anymore. I did enjoy Skyrim.

8:15 I clearly heard that the next word starts with an "A". Do you realize how long a human colon is? Baldurs Gate 3 is not that "deep"... lol.

Although I will say Bethesda bugs are by far the highlights of the game

BROOOO... I think you need a different perspective. You're comparing this game to a bunch of other great games. Of course Starfield will pale in comparison to those. I just started playing this game having never played the games you mentioned in your review and I'm having a fun time. YESSSSSS, it's glitchy!!! YESSSSS, it's not cutting edge... maybe dated.... but SO WHAT!!!! If you have lower standards, you can enjoy more games! Admit it, you like this game... nuf said... that's all that matters ;) (good job on this vid, btw)

Didnt Beth take down a fallout 4 multiplayer mod and release 76 a few months later?

No innovation, incompetent executives.

You really think the paid mod system has that many people interested? They are killing themselves at every step. This isn't a pretty good Bethesda game, it's the worst they've ever put out. I didn't play 76, but outside of that, as a lifetime "fan"... and this is mediocrity (at best) on every level. Fallout 4 is a masterpiece in comparison. What game are you playing??

It’s empty boring crap with a terrible story. That’s all

Somebody's gotta say it eventually... Preface ≠ pree-face Preface = preff-fiss Almost everybody gets that one wrong, and hardly anyone notices

I loved oblivion and fallout 3 but skyrim while amazing oblivion is better. And i only like fallout 4 on survival mode. Makes it very unique. But vinilla fallout 4 even on legendary is literally a hike in the park

No. People deserved starfield. They keep buying shit so they deserve shit. Bethesda has been actively falsely markerting since skyrim. Fo76 was so obvious about it & yall keep BUYING THIS SHIT RUINING GAMING FOR THE FEW OF IS THAT CAN ACTUALLY HAVE OUR OWN OPINIONS & DONT RELY ON KZbinRS FOR CONFIRMATIONS.

D) all of the above.

Bethesda depends to much on modders

Kratos??? Nah bro
