Have you ever experienced existential dread? The feeling that...no matter what happens we will all die at some point in the future. Some say its one of the hardest feelings to grapple with. In my short time on God's earth, I have played many video games. Many games in general. I grew up in an age where the Nintendo DS hit its peak and movie video game tie ins were still super popular. I, in my years of suffering through countless monopoly games and shitty mobile games have in fact, never played a game so unspeakably boring in my entire life. A game so full of nothingness and static that I have a hard time keeping focus throughout the few hours I've played. Any attempt to make the game even remotely entertaining was denied. And even replaced with an option to fast travel around the planets very few locations in a desperate bid by our God King Todd Howard to hide the fact they spent 15 years creating an environment so unbelievably empty that it makes the country of Mongolia look like a populated superpower. The dialogue? Bland and robotic. The space travel? Painfully pointless. The story? Who cares. I don't find myself caring for anyone in this game. In fact, I only find myself disappointed. This could have been such a fun game, a game so full of life and fun that it could have even beat out all the other canidates for game of the year in 2023. But because Bethesda is preoccupied with the bullying and hostile takeover of numerous smaller studios, they seem to be forgetting about us. But, Matthew 24:44 states "Therefore you also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect." Our savior is coming, and he is coming in the shape of Mr. Todd Howard. Stay vigilant my friends, for it is in Todd we find strength. It is in Todd we find warmth. In Todd Howard we trust. Amen in chat my brothers.
