All these games were inspired by Skyrim
your idea of innovation is just biting Bethesda and then Bethesda releases a game and you’re like “it didn’t innovate like all these games that bit Bethesda”
Also you haven’t played the game
because we’re not nerds obsessed with innovation, entertainment is about fun not always pushing what’s possible forward
but with a game like this i do expect some new things man
COD4 the best shooter of all time lol
Witcher 3 - mid
Botw - worst Zelda mainline game
Divinity - no one but nerds played
Pillars - no one played failed on all fronts
Rdr2 - only good game on this list!
CLEARED.
88/100 average score is in no way a flop
it isn't a flop and it will be successful but for bethesda people expect 90+
4 replies angry ah hell but no one could name anything starfield innovated on
THE GAME ISNT EVEN OUT YET.
it isn't a flop and it will be successful but for bethesda people expect 90+
Score could change, baldurs gate meta increased over time
Fallout 4 got an 85 on metacritic and there were 0 shambles back then and people enjoyed it and it was a success
What happened to gaming
i still kinda don’t get the gun play complaints of FO4. probably just cause i don’t play much these days but for how often it’s complained about you’d think it was literally god awful
it isn't a flop and it will be successful but for bethesda people expect 90+

They didn’t just “bite” Skyrim (how in the f*** did Disco Elysium, Pillars and Divinity bite Skyrim btw?), I’m assuming you’re referring to mostly BotW, which sure, they’ve stated they were influenced by Skyrim, but they also did something incredibly unique with the formula that elevated it to the classic it is today.
What I’m saying is, a relatively standard Bethesda title in 2023 with mostly an aesthetic shift is probably not gonna set the critical world on fire as it once did.
Back then when they dropped Fallout 4, the two premiere AAA RPG studios were still basically BioWare and Bethesda, who dominated the 2000s (and funny enough dropped two of their most polarizing games in 2014), but since then we’ve gotten the rise of Larian, CDPR, Obsidian finally hitting their stride, and even Owlcat Games (Pathfinder).
Mechanically and/or narratively speaking, major RPG HITS have gotten more complex since those days.
