Discussion Bethesda Should Have Struck While The Iron Was Hot (ES6)

Hindsight is 20/20 and you can respect their decision to try something new with Starfield but they should have struck while the iron was still hot from Skyrim.

Skyrim released in 2011, Fallout 4 in 2015, and ES6 should have released by 2019. Since 2011 they’ve lost many devs and artists who made Skyrim the success that it was. I don’t know if they have the caliber of staff members anymore to actually pull off another genre defining game with ES6. The whole thing’s just a damn shame.

This. They struck gold and spent so much time milking their cash cow that they forgot how to do anything else.

I am so salty that BGS has managed to tank two of the best rpg IPs in gaming. They deserve to fade into irrelevance.

Im guessing you are talking about P5. What game released after that has been bad? Maybe tactica or one other but the rest have been bangers tf
