Skyrim clones are the $100 bill laying on the sidewalk that nobody is picking up.
No, people have moved on to Witcher 3 clones now.Skyrim clones are the $100 bill laying on the sidewalk that nobody is picking up.
My theory is that they assume it would be too much effort when it's probably much less effort in many areas. Those cinematic games require an army of developers.Skyrim clones are the $100 bill laying on the sidewalk that nobody is picking up.
Something that's overlooked is how few developers Bethesda had when making Skyrim(and FO4) despite how often they're viewed as "big budget" games. Outer Worlds most likely had more employees working on it than FO4 did.

The real world is dystopic enough already. I don't want any more ugliness and fakeness and gayness. I want to play games where the world is beautiful, the heroes are good, brave and attractive, and evil is defeated and punished.A little future apoc dystopia is a nice change from fantasy dystopia (which is how I felt with every Elder Scrolls... a dystopia).
Maybe because making them isn't as easy as people think (and Bethesda's engine, which everyone seems to piss and moan about, is more suitable for it than people think).
If we talk about some old Beth engines I actually liked Terminator Rampage & Future Shock/Skynet.

Ubisoft's shit plays better than anything Betheada has ever made. For all the stuff they get wrong, and the stupid shit they do, the actual gameplay of their games is better. So you've got something like Fallout 4. Now Fallout 4 isn't really even trying to be a RPG anymore. It's just a really lousy open world FPS game. Ubisoft could easily make a open world sci-fi first person shooter with better shooting, better companion characters, more interesting environmental interaction, a wider variety of ways to get around the world, better stealth, and more interesting systematic interactions between things like different factions and wildlife. The only thing Bethesda does better than them is environmental storytelling, but they seem to have gotten shit at that too.
Shiiieeeet, praising FO4 man.Ubisoft quests are shit compared to Bethesda's. Say what you like about Bethesda's easy mode gameplay, their quests still have some quirk and soul to them. Or at least they did in 2015, the last time they made a game (FO4).

The last time they had an interesting quest in a game was probably Oblivion, (so 15 years ago) and that game wasn't exactly packed to the brim with those either. Funnily Bethesda's most hated game, their last game, Fallout 76, is built entirely around their quest. The little I played of Skyrim the game just seemed to be a pretty straight forward hack and slash, and every quest was just an excuse to get into combat encounters between where you got the quest and where they sent you off to...Ubisoft Montreal could do that too.
This is all besides the point though. The point is if they so wished they could easily take on Betheada at their own game, (with both Elder Scrolls and Fallout) and offer more options to fuck about in the game's environment, and do so with far better gameplay than Bethesda does in their games. But they don't, for whatever reason they just don't do it. I could understand if there sales were comparable to Fallout and Elder Scrolls, but they aren't.
MMX is not worth the hassle, that's for sure.Why does Ubi need to have a third party program on steam for games like MMX? Wth?! It is bad enough to have steam on a computer but another program or bullshit to allow me to play a single player game is bullox. I know i pirated mmx but never installed it and forgot what thumbdrive I have if on. I also bought it only to find out UBI wanted its nose up my arse. That shit annoys me. I don't give a flying fuck about others knowing how many minutes i played a game or whatever bullshit achievements i unlocked.

I enjoyed Future Shock a lot, it was what put Bethesda on my radar. The only problem is that you needed a beast of a computer and a Matrox Millennium videocard (top of the line in those days) for the game to really shine (though you could get it to work with other videocards with some DOS tweakery IIRC).
Bethesda is a better company strictly in respect for their player base.
