      “The blatant general consensus doesn’t count!”

      It was breaking records on sales immediately. That has nothing to do with how good the game is, that has everything to do with how many people your marketing campaign managed to trick into preordering. Just because bethesda has been coasting off their reputation for the last decade doesn’t mean everything they shit is still gold.

          If you can’t separate commercial success and artistic success I really, really don’t know how to help you buddy. Viewing everything through a monetary lens is frankly really fucking depressing man.

              I really, really, really doubt the person you initially replied to was referring to stock performance when they say it doesn’t inspire confidence. You’re getting downvoted by not just me because you clearly missed that they’re talking about being worried about more games taking the same route being mediocre garbage, because it still makes money.

              Sorry that you weirdly hyperfixated on your own insertion of financial success, I guess.

              (ps, removing your own downvotes and then pretending to take the high road is just precious lmao)
