One of the most generic crap that Bethesda ever released. Ship's that can't go to space without a loading screen, wow pretty ******* innovating right there! Wow, the randomly generated buildings that show up for the 1000'th time, holy ****'n' buckets that's GENIUS! Todd Howard is the Messiah cometh!

Was there one with more innovative gameplay than Starfield though?

I think the Steam Awards are meaningless so I purposefully troll vote. That one in particular for Starfield was too good to pass up.

Meh, nothing interesting or surprising.

The Howarts win will at least make some ****** seethe so it's something.

I guess there always has to be one troll award. This year Starfield, last year Cyberpunk (Labor of Love).

Sit back and Relax: no gameplay.

Agreed, this youtuber (ugh I know) did a great analysis. His video on RDR2 is also great.

Bethesda has been reskinning the same game since... basically, forever. They're kinda like the Paradox Entertainment of the RPG world. This isn't actually a groundbreaking revelation.

I don't think that is necessarily bad if you can deliver - like in BE's case - the same game play, improved with each generation. Steam stats clearly show that people like to play BEs stuff, not least for their modability.

Contrast this to the hot mess that are PE games where the technical debt accrued over time in their 'Clausewitz'-Engine has made it impossible to deliver a playable/bugfree reskin.

Saying it's a reskin is actually being far too charitable.
The amount of loading screens within the gameplay of starfield is 10x that of past titles. It's not reskinning, it's getting worse. It's actually decline.
