Woah there hoss, let's make sure it's worth playing on one platform first.
Unless they fuck it up worse than 76, I'm pretty sure Starfield will likely be remembered the same way Skyrim and Fallout 4 are.
Mediocre successors?
Pretty much. They're likely never to make something as good or that surpasses Morrowind.
I think there's a good chance that they fuck it up as bad as 76. I'm willing to be proven wrong, Bethesda as a company hasn't done much to convince me otherwise. I'll be honest, their acquisition by Microsoft has only given me more monumental doubts. I think the biggest thing Bethesda has going for it right now is pedigree and the fact that the release of their last big series entry was so long ago that people are forgetting how terrible not just the releases were, but they way they handled them as a company, especially where the pre-order merch was concerned.
There was a play tester that said when Redfall released Starfield was in even worse condition and that's when they decided to delay it for another year.
I'm all for delaying games until they're actually done, but it's pretty telling they wanted to release both games in those states.
As a company they're definitely being held up by some rosy glasses. And mods. They bank on mods to fix whatever they're too lazy to.
Don't forget to preorder Starfield so you can maybe receive a... wrist watch? Huh? Lol
