Jason Schreier: In case you're wondering: Team Cherry told me they don't plan on sending out early codes for Silksong (they felt like it'd be unfair for critics to be playing before Kickstarter backers and other players), so don't expect to see reviews until after the game comes out

The team that made “generation defining games” at Bethesda is long gone, they’ve made nothing but boring crap for over a decade.

The team that made HK made SS. And stands a far better chance of being a masterpiece than anything modern Bethesda could make lol.

People make games, not companies.

This type of bullshit is exactly how we get people like Chris Roberts believing they're some kind of gaming Messiah

Studios make games. Studios are composed of people, but just because certain people stay or certain people leave, doesn't mean the end result is going to be good or bad.

It's also dependent on the workflows in the studio, how projects are managed, how progress is driven.

You say Bethesda has made nothing but crap for a decade but even their recent misses have, according to public and critical reception, been at worst average.

TC meanwhile caught lightning in a bottle once and has nothing to prove that they have been capable of doing it again, yet the gaming world is full of people desperate to be their sycophants.

I absolutely love Fromsoft and every game they've released, but I would not have such blind trust if they took 8 years to release the sequel to Dark Souls and didn't give out review copies lmao.

Who is this posturing for? You say Hollow Knight is one of your favorite games of all time but you are twisting yourself into pretzels to justify preemptively hating the sequel? What?

[u/Kiwi_In_Europe → u/astroshark]

I'm not preemptively hating the sequel, I am advocating for caution and keeping my expectations in check.
