Starfield is actually a great framework for a video game
It really isn't, that's 99% of the problem. It's basically a mod for Skyrim with some additional tech.
This implies that Skyrim isn't a good video game. Which if was true, I don't think Starfield would have existed.
well skyrim was good in 2012, kinda hard to say it can stand toe to toe with modern titles (without mods obviously)
I mean... It can in the fun department. It can't compete on looks, technical stability, or smoothness of feel as modern shit... But it still has a certain something that nothing else captures and keeps me coming back every couple years to play through again.
well, different strokes for different folks. could just be i like different kinds of games now - it has been a long time and my tastes have definitely changed. most of the appeal of skyrim for me is just that i love games you can mod the shit out of lol
Video games are definitely a different strokes, different folks type thing. I "play through" (never done the main quest) of vanilla skyrim ever few years. I wouldn't even know how to download a mod for it and I still love it all these years later.
Not at all. Skyrim was a groundbreaking game, for 2012, that occurred in a few small regions from several planets/planes. The praise ends there, though. If Skyrim came out as a new release in 2024, even with the remaster work and all the DLCs, I wouldn't have nice words to say about it either. It has been more than a decade.
