SaysWho? Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 You know, time flowing doesn't weird me out as much anymore (but the fact that it goes so quickly I still don't like lol), but with the re-releases Skyrim has gotten, it certainly didn't feel as old as Morrowind did when Skyrim released. The thing I actually find most interesting is we're now two generations from Skyrim, whereas that nine year gap was just one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Game Devs are getting too big for their britches. These fucking 6th and 7th gen devs are fucking worse than Nintendo at putting out games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brick Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 That's what happens when instead of releasing a new Elder Scrolls game you just keep re-releasing Skyrim five times. Same thing will happen with GTA V compared to past games. At least we know TESVI is coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLeon Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 That seems impossible to me, but I didn’t play Morrowind until long after it came out. Hell, Oblivion was probably already out when I bought Morrowind+Expansions (and then barely played it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fizzzzle Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Bethesda Game Studios hasn't released a single player game since Fallout 4, which came out 5.5 years ago Rockstar North hasn't released a single player game since GTA V, which came out 7.5 years ago Blizzard hasn't released a single player game since Diablo III, which came out 9 years ago At least we know Starfield should be coming out potentially this year. Rockstar isn't even working on anything right now as far as anyone knows (that goes for all Rockstar studios, not just North). Blizzard will release Diablo 4... eventually. Though I have doubts that you could even attempt to play that one single-player. Diablo III was already a grind for that. It's almost like talented developers being bought out by money hungry publishers is bad. I think Sony and Microsoft are still putting out single player experiences because they have other motives besides simply monetizing their games as much as possible (they want to sell systems and having more games rather than one highly monetized one achieves that goal) I'm honestly surprised Square Enix and Ubisoft are still cranking out single player games as much as they are. They obviously still try to put microtransactions and whatnot in their games, but they're at least still making the damn things on a regular basis.

I was watching a podcast and one of the people brought up an interesting point; Halo Infinite was supposed to come out last year. Now it's coming out this year. What else did MS have lined up to come out this year? Surely they weren't going to release Halo and then wait for two years for anything else to come out. I think with Game Pass, Microsoft might be throwing out the traditional big release windows and start drip-feeding releases throughout the year in order to keep the subs up. We very well might start seeing a Starfield-caliber release in Spring 2022. Hell, maybe we'll even see Starfield itself in the spring.

heydude93 Posted May 26, 2021 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Skyrim is one of those games that's rough to go back to now. After playing something like RDR2 it feels downright bizarre that I thought it was as immersive as I did back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guy's can complain about the controls all day long but the environment and AI in that game are off the charts. Also, I went back to Skyrim last year while drinking and still had a good time with it. The beer might have had something to do with that, though.

Most classic franchises destroy themselves without any help from online games. Plus, the only good FF game in nearly 20 years is an online game.
