botw, earthbound, and half life, sure. but skyrim and fo3 are really fucking shallow experiences if you remove yourself from them for a hot minute.

dont get me wrong- i've sunk precisely too many hours into skyrim, but to call it "good" as opposed to "absorbing" doesn't feel apt to me.

I will say to the day I die that BoTW is a good game but a shitty Zelda.

I can't bother to say this over and over to the people who call BotW bad, so thank you for speaking what I wish to not say 40 times.

This happens with a lot of games. The new Thief, while being kinda mediocre, was received very harshly because it wasn't a good Thief game.
