Todd is truly salty about New Vegas. Lol

I think I'd be okay if we never got another Fallout game. What we've got is satisfying, including the Wasteland and Outer Worlds games, and the Fallout show is great too. Maybe if Bethesda had a tendency to knock our socks off with something new every time they put out a game, then I'd be excited, but that's not the Bethesda we know.

In the same vein I think we have to come to peace with the possibility that will there never being a new Elder Scrolls game.

It's the project they're currently working on. I don't know why they announced it when they did, but at their current pace, I'd expect it to come out in the next two years and change.

"that will there never being"

How'd you manage to write that without your brain imploding? And their next game is elder scrolls 6, that's been widely known and reported on for years. Your whole comment is just idiocy.

Do you really believe that?

If so, I hope you can grow when you're proven wrong.

Hm, still a bit butthurt that their best installment was made by Obsidian it seems

[–] lordnikon@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

Well it was kind of a cheat using most of the people that created fallout 1 to make New Vegas. They really should just give it back to Tim and Leonard and team to do the next one.

I'd have trust issues too if Iwas Bethesda and I gave another studio a chance to make a spin off of our Bethesda style RPG and then they completely failed at making it a good Bethesda style RPG, but totally succeeded at making a good RPG in general and now millions of people give you crap for not being able to make games as good as theirs even though you have made very good games, they're just a different style than the spinoff another studio made for you and that other as style is more popular...but it's not your style.

That'd feel pretty terrible.

Bethesda is so behind the competition, I just don't feel a point to play any of their games after FO4.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Probably doesn't want to get upstaged by a better dev in their (purchased) series. Again.

Hate these comments that pretend Bethesda hate New Vegas like it is not a main part of a lot of their advertisements and the chosen setting of their tv show it just is blatantly false.

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

The New Vegas fanboys hated him for he spoke the truth.
