The fucked up thing is he's probably right

If they had just made Fallout 5 or Elder Scrolls 6 I'm pretty sure the game wouldn't have gotten nearly as much backlash even if it sucked just as bad because people would have been more forgiving of an existing IP due to feeling loyalty to that series

Everyone ignored how deeply flawed Bethesda games were for years up until this and I don't see too many waking up to how they've always kinda sucked

That's not to say Skyrim and Fallout 3 aren't fun but the base gameplay has never been great

all bethesda has ever been decent at was world design, fallout 3 and skyrim were super well made open worlds imo, just great to walk around in

but the engine and combat and dialogue and storytelling is such trash, every single time, and this time they fucked up the world too

I very strongly disagree with the notion that the Capital wasteland was fun to explore. Really does have nothing on New Vegas.

narratively New Vegas is so much better, the mojave is much better, but just wandering place to place fallout 3 is better imo. hard to say with nostalgia, fo3 was my first fallout, and one of my first games/ special interests so I'm very biased

The subways in Fallout 3 fucking slap though
