    I’ve honestly stopped caring at this point. There was a time when I would have preordered it but with Bethesda’s recent releases I will wait and see.

      I for one refuse to care about this game until six months after release, when reviews are in and first batch of patches have been added. Skyrim may be great today, but it was a buggy mess upon release.

        Recent releases. In my opinion they haven’t released a good game in years. To be fair I have not played Starfield though. Space themes don’t really excite me.

      Same. After a few hundred hours in ESO, which was a far better experience, and watching a few videos on Starfield, I’ve got zero desire to buy a new Bethesda single player game.

    Ah yes. The 6 monthly There is no ES6 news news story.

    This must be about the 30th of these I have read.

    Skyrim will be old enough to vote next year…

    Been Bethesda’s thing for the past decade. They say nothing then a few months leading up to launch, take over the news like a giant storm.

    They really fucked up by announcing it so early. And the lackluster launch of Fallout 76 (only to be patched up to a great state), as well as Starfield not being the cultural GOTY like their other games have really added more fire to the anti-Bethesda crowd.

    Yeah, take your time. The only way for all of it not to be a disaster is to make a good game, and we see how that’s nearly impossible for them to do now. So, nobody really cares and nobody really should. I really wish they would do good, but I have zero expectations.

      No matter how good it is, and I’m hoping for the best, it will definitely be over-hyped.

      At this point, the only way Bethesda has in order to avoid ES6 being over-hyped is saying something on the line: “Uh, do you remember that Skyrim game we made decade ago? Well, we’re making a sequel… and it’s crap”

      Not that they will succeed: people will be over-hyped anyway. But it’s something they can say and afterwards not being accused of over-hyping their game

    And don’t expect us to buy Elder Scrolls 6 until at least six months after release. We’ve been through this before, Todd.

    So should I just force myself to forget this game exists? Starfield didn’t do it for me, so this is the only Bethesda game I’m interested in right now.

      There was a leak of bethesdas release schedule during the court hearings, which if you offset the dates due to covid, (starfield was originally taped for 2021) by 2 years, TES6 should be 2026 as the original target was 2024. That would put it as a late Xbox Series life release.
