@@champion3760 why is it so criminal that he liked starfield more than Fallout 4? Keep in mind this list was made when Starfield was still relatively popular and liked by most players. No stupid hate bandwagon and bad faith arguments during this time, just people enjoying the game for what it was.

@@bandanna2388 bro he just expressed his opinion read your own comment and tell me you are not the one being butthurt over someone else's opinion. You are the living definition of a hypocrite.
Morrowind at #4… ya got balls kiddo. Also why no mention of Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire, and Redguard? They’re as much of Bethesda games as IHRA Drag racing is… along with Wayne Gretzky Hockey and their Terminator games
Skyrim VR modded proper is such an incredible way to experience Skyrim. My wife doesn't even like VR but she'll play Skyrim VR for hours. Playing it any other way doesn't even feel right.
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that you placed Oblivion above Skyrim. Oblivion is easily my favorite Bethesda-developed game, and I think a large part of that comes down to its side quests. That game has so many fun and memorable side quests -- not even factoring in the fantastic Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild questlines -- and I wish more games followed its example on that front. The only thing keeping it from being my favorite game of 2006 is Ys Origin's existence.
My problem with Oblivion is it was so railroaded. You had no choices in how you went about quests or dialogue most of the time, and when you had choices, there were no consequences. It's a lot of fun the first time through, but it feels like I could never play it again. Skyrim is something I could play again and again.
@@Dennis-nc3vw I can see your point there. Oblivion is still an incredibly flawed game, with the tedious main quest-line, terrible leveling system, and relatively generic setting being some of my personal gripes with it. I do think the side-quests are the strongest aspect of the game, though, and that's what raises it well above Skyrim for me. While I enjoyed Skyrim, I personally found it a bit too watered-down (even compared to Oblivion, which was already very stream-lined), and I felt like the quest-lines were generally weaker than Oblivion's. Granted, Skyrim had the better main-quest, but that's not saying very much since Oblivion's sucked. One of my biggest issues with a lot of Bethesda games is that, despite having massive worlds to explore, they tend to feel rather shallow. Most of the characters are pretty flat, the stories can be hit-or-miss, and, of course, there are bugs aplenty. I definitely prefer the likes of Deus Ex, Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, and Planescape: Torment by a pretty significant margin over Bethesda's games for these very reasons.
@@Dennis-nc3vw Yeah, there are so many memorable ones: Whodunit?, The Ultimate Heist, Paranoia, Through a Nightmare Darkly, A Brush with Death, An Unexpected Voyage, A Shadow Over Hackdirt, Where Spirits Have Lease, Order of the Virtuous Blood, Canvas the Castle, Caught in the Hunt, Sheogorath, The Ghosts of Vitharn, Baiting the Trap, The Purification, The Siren's Deception, etc. Every other aspect of Oblivion is pretty mediocre at best, but the side quests are where the game truly shines.
My biggest issue with oblivion that kinda killed it for me, though mods might fix it, is that it's pretty much got the worst loot system in any bethesda game. Only thing it does good is your able to find enchanted equipment that does more then cast X like everything in morrowind, but you just never find anything good exploring random caves or anything, or even gates. 99% of the good items I ever found were from two dungeons that I just repeated over and over. Kinda killed some of the fun of exploring to find a cave with a few chests and monsters but nothing else.
I agree, and I’m someone who played Morrowind for the first time in 2022 after all the other modern elder scrolls games (so no nostalgia bias) it just does something no other games do, you feel like it’s a living breathing world where things happen with or without you
Out of all the Bethesda games I've personally played, I'd rank them at 7. Fallout 76 6. Starfield 5. Fallout 4 4. Fallout 3. 3. Skyrim 2. Oblivion 1. Morrowind
Ehh. I would rank Fallout 4 before Fallout 3. But this is my controversial take I have. I really liked the companions and yes, I even liked Preston. Starfield is the first game of them that I still ignore because it doesn't work for me for know.
I would put Oblivion at number 2 and Skyrim at number 1 simply because I loathe Oblivion's leveling system. Forcing you to grind skills you have no intention of using just to ensure you get a big enough stat bonus each level to stay ahead of the power curve even on normal difficulty just sucks all of the fun out of the game.
i agree, the leveling is sorta dog ass. i just get a mod that rebalances enemy's to be similar to skyrims. like, instead of enemys scaling with the player, there are level zones where you will find easier or harder enemy's depending on location and quest line. that way, leveling isnt a chore.
bro ranked IHRA drag racing but not arena, daggerfall, new vagas, ESO TES legends; and only skimmed through oblivion, not giving it a proper rating...what is this video? i get if he hasnt played those games to rank them, but they should atleast get a mention or something.
controversial take but agree.. Morrowind, Skyrim and Oblivion are the gold standards of open world games. Back in the 2000s as a kid, modding seemed like a nothingburger. That very few games are yet to reach such heights even with a modding community to this day. 😐
In a world with the last 2 Zelda games, Elden Ring, Insomniac Spider Man Arkham games, TW3 and many more examples, they aren't anywhere close to gold standards. Morrowind and Skyrim were somethng special at their time, but not for long after many superior games came out.
@@giant9289Tbh my personal opinion: I dont like the new Zelda games, they feel pretty empty to me, there arent a lot of different dungeons (thematicly) and it just feels boring. Elden ring is my least favorite souls like (after ds2) just its to long 4 a dark souls game. And the endgame sucks (at least to me). I really liked the spuderman games tho, but I dont want to replay it. But Skyrim, I dont know why, always keeps me coming back at least playing it once or twice per year. (Sorry if my english sucks, english isnt my native language)
I don't get why people gush over Oblivion so much. I enjoyed the game immensely the first playthrough, but was it even an RPG? You had no virtually no choices (outside the Dark Brotherhood questline) and when you did, there were no consequences. What drove me up the wall is when they'd railroad you into a certain path, and then an NPC would criticize you for taking that path (like when you're forced to go into that really obvious trap for the Mages Guild). It feels like one of those games you really had to leave your brain at the door to enjoy.
Not to nitpick too hard, but maybe you should title this as every Bethesda Game Studios Game. Just saying Bethesda Softworks did develop a couple of games as well. At least I'm aware of some Terminator games they did.
Very good list from me, Id say my favourite is heavily modded skyrim VR just for immersion but that mod build list took me forever to get stable... for base game 100% oblivion. its just magical
They were developed by Bethesda Softworks, but Rabbid's list is focusing solely on games developed by Bethesda Game Studios which wasn't founded until the early 2000's.
Where are Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire an Redguard? PS. Their very first game was a hockey games back in the early 90s. I have no idea is it any good, partly because I am no interested in sport games.
I always feel like I'm the uncommon factor here, but when it comes to Skyrim, it would be ranked much further down the list. I don't HATE Skyrim, but I still remember, I played through the entire game once, doing most of the major faction storylines. I beat the game, beat the Dawnguard expansion, and then about halfway through the Dragonborn DLC, I just stopped playing it. A few years later I redownloaded the game, and after an hour I uninstalled it again. I'm genuinely not sure WHY, but I am simply unable to play Skyrim again. I get bored so quickly, and the stories all felt half finished to me. I completely understand WHY people like it, but of the three Bethesda Elder Scrolls games, it's my least favorite. Oblivion is a few steps ahead of it, while Morrowind would have been my number one pick on this list. I dunno. Maybe my brain is dumb, but yeah. Never particularly liked Skyrim more than just 'Eh, it's alright'.
It's impressive that 76 is somehow better than the racing games that have nothing, that must have been painfully dull Edit: so if there was a game I'd recommend from Bethesda, its oblivion or skyrim. Skyrim is a little overwhelming considering they keep remaking/porting it every single day, it's got re4 staying magic, however I can say oblivion is instantly better because unlike skyrim, it actually teaches you _every single gameplay mechanic and spells in a natural training environment_
Starfield would be next to Fallout 76 on my list. They are both extremely boring and unfun. The only good thing Starfield did for me is cure my insomnia. Even the Modding community said that the game was beyond repair. The best Bethesda games IMO are Oblivion, Morrowind, and Fallout 3 in that order.
"Even the Modding community said that the game was beyond repair" One single modder said they won't mod the game, and y'all run wild with it. No, the modding community is very interested in Starfield. Not in love, but interested. What really matters is how good the CK will be. That's gonna be the break it or make it moment
Starfield legitimately made me question if I even like video games anymore. Then I played Sekiro again and was quickly reminded that the problem is Starfield.
The absolute blasphemy that rage wasn’t even on this list and also that fallout three was ranked second which I think that fallout three is better than Skyrim. That’s right come, tell me how wrong I am.
Having Fallout 3 one spot higher than Morrowind feels all kind of wrong. Fallout 3 is average as fuck, Morrowind is peak Elder Scrolls and still holds up today if you can put up with the dated combat. Fallout 3 is mid on EVERYTHING and aged horribly the second New Vegas came out.
Fallout 3 was simply amazing and revolutionary for its' time. Visual storytelling, the amount of details, level design, art design, atmosphere, soundtrack and many more elements are simply great. Just because New Vegas surpassed it in many ways doesn't make fallout 3 a bad or even mediocre game. Morrowind was also outstanding when it released, but it has aged way worse. In terms of gameplay, it doesn't hold up today at all. Nowadays, vanilla Morrowind feels and plays extremely tedious, lifeless, barren and clunky. And I'm saying this as a fan of this game! The only two things in which it still holds up are lore and wordbuilding, which were the best Bethesda has ever done.
Oof you really put 76 below fallout shelter? I won't say it's an amazing game but god damn it is not anywhere near as bad as people say. And definitely not worse than a garbage idle mobile game.
man there was an adaptation for fallout shelter and that was fallout shelter online it has potential but sucks due to how greedy it went good ol times it was actually fun doing the events but didnt last long till it became p2w.
@batbugz I'd say it's quite good. Definitely has the exploration and gameplay loop that keeps it addicting. Lacking in many other areas however. I do prefer 4 over 3, which I think is somewhat overrated
I had no idea they made the IHRA games. They were truly, truly awful. This video really doesn’t do justice to just how bad they were, and in the most bland manner possible.
I played Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Oblivion, and Starfield. While I loved them all, Skyrim was definitely at the top and Oblivion was definitely at the bottom. Oh wait, actually Morrowind is. But I don't know if it should even count because I played that for like two hours before giving up. The setting is amazing, but I don't understand how anyone could endure those gameplay mechanics.
Actually maybe Starfield is at the bottom. I don't know. Oblivion is a hard one to rate because it was my first open world game and I don't know how much that biased me. It's something that was a magical experience the first time but I can't imagine playing again, unlike every other game on the list.
I know its only a game published by Bethesda not made by them really but easily my favorite is Prey. I saw the few clips of it when their published games were mentioned so I'm glad it got at least something in this video.
About 9 games in total, VR's don't count. Of these 9, only 2 were actually good. 1 was passible, and the remaining were either bad, or worse, BORING! Me and the average Bethesda shill aren't gonna be friends
I'm sorry but while I loved Oblivion, it's overrated asf. You really, really had to leave your brain at the door to enjoy it. The amount of railroading in dialogue and quest structure was just incredible. You had no choices to make and when you made choices, they had no consequences. For example, if you chose to play as an Argonian, the necromancer in Cheydinhal will still try to drown you. They let you enter a name for your character, but the Black Horse Courier will still refer to you as an "unnamed hero". How lazy is that? What REALLY ticked me off is when the game forced you down a certain path, and then had NPCs scold you for taking that path. For example, when an obvious trap is set for your retrieving a book for the Mages Guild and that the count calls you an idiot for falling for it, or when Martin announces his plans to lead the battle at Bruma, and all you can say is "Sure, if you say so, my liege." Then he says something like "I need your judgements, friend, not your compliance." Just thinking about it now ticks me off.
I HONESTLY think that current 76, while it can be a really long grindy slog, it should at least be above the cheaply made, overpriced "VR" games that ranked higher than it.i get that 76 was UNGODLY bad on release, but at current, it's better and playable for a month or so (unlike the VR games that are just Skyrim/FO4 but you need an overly expensive headset for). Shame about them selling you unlimited space for junk and crafting materials for 13$ a month. Still has more value than a lot of sub services though *coughgtavcough*.
Dlc and everything included fallout 4 is better than 3 in my opinion but Im playing them all again rn started with New Vegas and I'm on 4 right now I'll post a update when I finish
Hoping elder scrolls 6 utilizes AI in their NPCs and quests for dynamic and unique interactions that feel like real life people. I’m hoping this is why Xbox/microsoft bought and invested in an AI company and openAI (bought one a few months ago and partnered with openAI a couple years ago). Seems like Microsoft in its entirety are going more of an AI route with their “co-pilot”. Hopefully we see big innovation for the next elder scrolls
It began development quite a while ago, I doubt they intended or wrote with AI in mind when they started the project. Plus, AI is relatively unpredictable, even though its amazing and ive seen AI implemented into skyrim, its harder to define a genuinely real feeling character with alot of nuance. Well, AI or not, dont have alot of faith in the next elderscrolls game. I think all the original developers for skyrim have all left the company. Its not the idea that makes the game good, not the ip, but the developers, they done left. I heard this from developers talking about their work on skyrim, of course bethesda wouldnt announce this, unless it was a lead designer or something. So cross your fingers but chances are, they are gonna increase the scope, take more risks which dont leave them nearly enough time to fully flesh the game out. Maybe they'll listen to feedback on starfield. However, to churn out a pile of crap like that, I doubt even with knowledge of how to make a good game, that they'll still screw up. Pronouns in the next elderscrolls like starfield, the lusty trans lizard, a quest based on bisexual curiosity, brace yourselfs for another dogturd, injecting our fantasy game with real world bs to apeal to half of half of a percent of our population🤣
That’s a cool idea I had in my mind while seeing the Skyrim mods. I also think an Elder Scrolls is best in VR. Not total VR but rather a VR perspective with controller gameplay.
I would have to put Starfield towards the bottom as it feels like a medium sized game spread over too vast an area. Most moons have copy and paste locations (like Mass Effect 1 did) and it just feels so soulless. It has potential to become a great series but the first game is just low on any meaningful content. Elder Scrolls and Fallout had worlds I wanted to go back to but Starfield doesn’t.
Fallout 4 is their best game. Great combat, lame main story, but at least you are no longer the hero like in skyrin. Great side quests, great graphics even without mods, interesting perk system, interesting weapon upgrades and the best thing? All the lore around. When you enter a random location in skyim or oblivion, you find bunch of enemies, traps, loot and some static objects like tents, stools ect. Its good enough if you just want to murder enemies without a reason, but there is no lore unless you accept a quest. In fallout 4 most location are a part of world building. When you enter somewhere, it doesnt just tell you the story of what enemies are there, it also tells you the story about what was before the war. You enter a school and see a pink ghouls. Later on you find out they had done experiments on kids for money. You enter a church and see skeletons of people in their original clothes in holding their child´s hand. You enter a production building and find how the product was originaly created, you find worker´s entries in terminals. You can read their complaints about job.... You can get immersed so much without even doing a quest. Thats why fallout 4 is the best for me.
Hey Will, if you do countdowns again, I have an idea you might like... Remember when I suggested "Games that Have One Fatal Flaw"? Well, at the time I was actually referring to games that had a simple change during development and that butchered them. ... So what about games that got ruined by a development mistake? As an example, look at the PC port of *Hogs of War.* Did you know that that version of the game is actually an earlier beta build? What happened was one of the dev's computers blue-screen-of-deathed on them and they lost the progress they had been working on, reverting the game back to an earlier state. Just compare reviews of the game on Steam (which is hilarious a direct port of that EARLY build error and not the patched version that they did release!) to the PS1 port and it is night and day! Or how about *Gran Turismo 2* where, because data was not removed from the game late on in development, early NTSC versions are impossible to get 100% on and have misaligned AI opponents to certain events. It was so bad in fact that they had to issue a recall and released a 1.1 version. I think this makes GT2 in effect one of the first console games to effectively be patched. It's an interesting rabbit hole to go down and explore, certainly.

"Even the Modding community said that the game was beyond repair"
One single modder said they won't mod the game, and y'all run wild with it. No, the modding community is very interested in Starfield. Not in love, but interested. What really matters is how good the CK will be. That's gonna be the break it or make it moment
Fallout nv is fine but it’s not great does anybody else feel the same.
5 seconds in and I’m clicking off the video since the comments say starfield is ranked good at all
Literally no one can take this guy seriously when he prefferes Starfield over Fallout 4.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Huge W Oblivion, but FO4 underrated
Rank Bethesda's Terminator games, coward.
Starfield legitimately made me question if I even like video games anymore.
Then I played Sekiro again and was quickly reminded that the problem is Starfield.
Very well put.
The problem is you go back to starfield now
Brother how is startfield above any other main game of the series.Starfield has no right to be above fallout 4 nor any other bethesda "good" game
It's just a better RPG
Why watch someone's ranking video if you were just gonna get mad if you disagreed?
It is tho. Y'all are just complaining and hating for no reason
Screw u comments starfield was so good
Putting Oblivion where it belongs 👍
The absolute blasphemy that rage wasn’t even on this list and also that fallout three was ranked second which I think that fallout three is better than Skyrim. That’s right come, tell me how wrong I am.
Sheogorath is the single best character in Oblivion
1) Morrowind
Oblivion
Starfield
Daggerfall
FO3
Arena
Skyrim
Redguard
FO4
All of the Legends titles
Every other Bethesda game
Arena over skyrim? Starfield over skyrim? LOL this is just invalid,
@@elric5371 Starfield is an objectively better rpg. The main story is the exact same, and starfield has better side content. That is a fact
skyrim is top g, but your list is mid
Having Fallout 3 one spot higher than Morrowind feels all kind of wrong. Fallout 3 is average as fuck, Morrowind is peak Elder Scrolls and still holds up today if you can put up with the dated combat. Fallout 3 is mid on EVERYTHING and aged horribly the second New Vegas came out.
Fallout 3 was simply amazing and revolutionary for its' time. Visual storytelling, the amount of details, level design, art design, atmosphere, soundtrack and many more elements are simply great. Just because New Vegas surpassed it in many ways doesn't make fallout 3 a bad or even mediocre game.
Morrowind was also outstanding when it released, but it has aged way worse. In terms of gameplay, it doesn't hold up today at all. Nowadays, vanilla Morrowind feels and plays extremely tedious, lifeless, barren and clunky. And I'm saying this as a fan of this game!
The only two things in which it still holds up are lore and wordbuilding, which were the best Bethesda has ever done.
Joke's on you. I'm not re-installing Morrowind. I never uninstalled it.
fallout 4 and fallout 3 GOAT
Oof you really put 76 below fallout shelter?
I won't say it's an amazing game but god damn it is not anywhere near as bad as people say. And definitely not worse than a garbage idle mobile game.
fallout 76 is actually pretty good now
You didn't even mention new vegas
He did at 12:10
Also bethesda didn't create new Vegas, obsydian did(creators of oryginal fallout 1 and 2), they have rights to it however
@@Morglith true
man there was an adaptation for fallout shelter and that was fallout shelter online it has potential but sucks due to how greedy it went good ol times it was actually fun doing the events but didnt last long till it became p2w.
What's very surprising is that there's a Bethesda game worse than Fallout 76
Before I start watching, I'm going to go out on a limb and say Fallout 4 is ranked higher than it has any reason to be.
It had fun gameplay tbh
If it is not at the bottom, its because Starfield should be. Haven't watched the video yet
Fallout 4 is a great game.
@batbugz I'd say it's quite good. Definitely has the exploration and gameplay loop that keeps it addicting. Lacking in many other areas however. I do prefer 4 over 3, which I think is somewhat overrated
Fallout 4 was my Fallout Bethesda game and absolutely love it to this day
I didn't mind Blades to be honest.
You are what's wrong with the modern gaming industry.
I had no idea they made the IHRA games. They were truly, truly awful. This video really doesn’t do justice to just how bad they were, and in the most bland manner possible.
I played Fallout 3, Fallout 4, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Oblivion, and Starfield. While I loved them all, Skyrim was definitely at the top and Oblivion was definitely at the bottom. Oh wait, actually Morrowind is. But I don't know if it should even count because I played that for like two hours before giving up. The setting is amazing, but I don't understand how anyone could endure those gameplay mechanics.
Actually maybe Starfield is at the bottom. I don't know. Oblivion is a hard one to rate because it was my first open world game and I don't know how much that biased me. It's something that was a magical experience the first time but I can't imagine playing again, unlike every other game on the list.
@@Dennis-nc3vw Morrowind gameplay mechanic is not the problem. Use character creation system more wisely.
@@HaBeeV The combat kills the feel of the game.
@@Dennis-nc3vw You are missing out on one of the best game worlds ever created.
I know its only a game published by Bethesda not made by them really but easily my favorite is Prey. I saw the few clips of it when their published games were mentioned so I'm glad it got at least something in this video.
I think Starfield is by far there worst game.
About 9 games in total, VR's don't count. Of these 9, only 2 were actually good. 1 was passible, and the remaining were either bad, or worse, BORING! Me and the average Bethesda shill aren't gonna be friends
Where's Home Alone?
Starfield would be lower for me. Really, really do not like that game at all.
We think the same it’s crazy
why no Arena and Daggerfall? Yeah Arena isn't the best, but Daggerfall is still pretty dope
Why does everyone love procedural generation in Daggerfall but hate it in Starfield?
I'm sorry but while I loved Oblivion, it's overrated asf. You really, really had to leave your brain at the door to enjoy it. The amount of railroading in dialogue and quest structure was just incredible. You had no choices to make and when you made choices, they had no consequences. For example, if you chose to play as an Argonian, the necromancer in Cheydinhal will still try to drown you. They let you enter a name for your character, but the Black Horse Courier will still refer to you as an "unnamed hero". How lazy is that?
What REALLY ticked me off is when the game forced you down a certain path, and then had NPCs scold you for taking that path. For example, when an obvious trap is set for your retrieving a book for the Mages Guild and that the count calls you an idiot for falling for it, or when Martin announces his plans to lead the battle at Bruma, and all you can say is "Sure, if you say so, my liege." Then he says something like "I need your judgements, friend, not your compliance." Just thinking about it now ticks me off.
Starfield is the most boring bethesda game, this guy is on shrooms lol
This too 10 sucks
Let me guess before I watch the video. Skyrim is #1.
How surprising
This isn’t a bad ranking…
Ranking games from Lionhead?
Oblivion where the fuck are you
I HONESTLY think that current 76, while it can be a really long grindy slog, it should at least be above the cheaply made, overpriced "VR" games that ranked higher than it.i get that 76 was UNGODLY bad on release, but at current, it's better and playable for a month or so (unlike the VR games that are just Skyrim/FO4 but you need an overly expensive headset for). Shame about them selling you unlimited space for junk and crafting materials for 13$ a month. Still has more value than a lot of sub services though *coughgtavcough*.
its between oblivion and fallout 3. oblivion is more epic. fallout 3 is more fun
Holy shit someone else who believes Oblivion is the GOAT Bethesda game! Much respect.
The tumbnail itself is criminal.
Dlc and everything included fallout 4 is better than 3 in my opinion but Im playing them all again rn started with New Vegas and I'm on 4 right now I'll post a update when I finish
Oblivian remake is coming before ES6. I'd rather they go back to the first 3 titles first, but Microsoft do need something to sell the Xboxes!
Hoping elder scrolls 6 utilizes AI in their NPCs and quests for dynamic and unique interactions that feel like real life people. I’m hoping this is why Xbox/microsoft bought and invested in an AI company and openAI (bought one a few months ago and partnered with openAI a couple years ago). Seems like Microsoft in its entirety are going more of an AI route with their “co-pilot”. Hopefully we see big innovation for the next elder scrolls
It began development quite a while ago, I doubt they intended or wrote with AI in mind when they started the project. Plus, AI is relatively unpredictable, even though its amazing and ive seen AI implemented into skyrim, its harder to define a genuinely real feeling character with alot of nuance. Well, AI or not, dont have alot of faith in the next elderscrolls game. I think all the original developers for skyrim have all left the company. Its not the idea that makes the game good, not the ip, but the developers, they done left. I heard this from developers talking about their work on skyrim, of course bethesda wouldnt announce this, unless it was a lead designer or something. So cross your fingers but chances are, they are gonna increase the scope, take more risks which dont leave them nearly enough time to fully flesh the game out. Maybe they'll listen to feedback on starfield. However, to churn out a pile of crap like that, I doubt even with knowledge of how to make a good game, that they'll still screw up. Pronouns in the next elderscrolls like starfield, the lusty trans lizard, a quest based on bisexual curiosity, brace yourselfs for another dogturd, injecting our fantasy game with real world bs to apeal to half of half of a percent of our population🤣
That’s a cool idea I had in my mind while seeing the Skyrim mods. I also think an Elder Scrolls is best in VR. Not total VR but rather a VR perspective with controller gameplay.
@@metalheadforlife8928they began full development only last year. Its not the same as preproduction
@merksmovies25 Ah okay. Why the hell did I write all of that, im a bum and a half😂
I would have to put Starfield towards the bottom as it feels like a medium sized game spread over too vast an area. Most moons have copy and paste locations (like Mass Effect 1 did) and it just feels so soulless.
It has potential to become a great series but the first game is just low on any meaningful content. Elder Scrolls and Fallout had worlds I wanted to go back to but Starfield doesn’t.
Dishonored???
Fallout 4 is their best game.
Great combat, lame main story, but at least you are no longer the hero like in skyrin. Great side quests, great graphics even without mods, interesting perk system, interesting weapon upgrades and the best thing? All the lore around.
When you enter a random location in skyim or oblivion, you find bunch of enemies, traps, loot and some static objects like tents, stools ect. Its good enough if you just want to murder enemies without a reason, but there is no lore unless you accept a quest.
In fallout 4 most location are a part of world building. When you enter somewhere, it doesnt just tell you the story of what enemies are there, it also tells you the story about what was before the war.
You enter a school and see a pink ghouls. Later on you find out they had done experiments on kids for money. You enter a church and see skeletons of people in their original clothes in holding their child´s hand. You enter a production building and find how the product was originaly created, you find worker´s entries in terminals. You can read their complaints about job.... You can get immersed so much without even doing a quest.
Thats why fallout 4 is the best for me.
Hey Will, if you do countdowns again, I have an idea you might like...
Remember when I suggested "Games that Have One Fatal Flaw"? Well, at the time I was actually referring to games that had a simple change during development and that butchered them.
...
So what about games that got ruined by a development mistake?
As an example, look at the PC port of *Hogs of War.*
Did you know that that version of the game is actually an earlier beta build?
What happened was one of the dev's computers blue-screen-of-deathed on them and they lost the progress they had been working on, reverting the game back to an earlier state.
Just compare reviews of the game on Steam (which is hilarious a direct port of that EARLY build error and not the patched version that they did release!) to the PS1 port and it is night and day!
Or how about *Gran Turismo 2* where, because data was not removed from the game late on in development, early NTSC versions are impossible to get 100% on and have misaligned AI opponents to certain events. It was so bad in fact that they had to issue a recall and released a 1.1 version.
I think this makes GT2 in effect one of the first console games to effectively be patched. It's an interesting rabbit hole to go down and explore, certainly.
Morrowind is the best and also my favorite video game of all time.
Morrowind is a really easy game, Kids nowadays are just playing fortnite instead of morrowind
XD@@LordZenGuard
great list.
skyrim is better than oblivion just stop
