I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!

Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.

Which is super weird cause it only seems to apply in certain circumstances, usually media criticism. If I say "Jack Black was always an annoying asshole." No one smugly tells me I should have instead said "it is in my humble opinion that Jack Black has always been an asshole.' They just make the very easy mental connection. If a statement is either inherently an opinion based on its nature there is no need to preface it, it's a waste of time.

I think it's more a matter of gaging how popular your take is going to be with those in your immediate surroundings. Everyone here is probably going to agree with you assessment of Jack Black.

Pick a different guy then. It's just an example.
