I’ve been playing Bethesda games since Oblivion. I finally stopped pre-ordering after Fallout 4. I’m getting sick of immersion-breaking bugs and computer-generated fetch quests taking the place of real story writing.
Bethesda hasn’t done much since Skyrim because I still don’t see an Elder Scrolls 6.
Edit: Doom. I partly take it back. Their treatment of Doom is perfect.
That would be largely because Bethesda had no hand in Doom at all beyond publishing, and frankly, I’m still impressed because I expected them to fuck that up too.
It’s amazing the good games you get when you let good developers just do their thing.
Guess what, the Ceation Engine still has 1 good milking left before it kills the studio.
I’m not holding my breath on the next Elder Scrolls.
Every Nintendo fan.
As a Nintendo fan, this is pretty accurate.
Although getting joycon drift twice and then being able to play TOTK free from drift by pirating it onto my Deck may have finally brought the roots free.
I want my favourite Nintendo games to become open source or open domain. Why do we have to wait like a century for open domain? 20-40 years would be much more reasonable.
What emulator and settings are you using for ToTK? I tried playing it on my beefy desktop, and it couldn’t get passed 40-50 frame in the beginning area, while standing still…
I downloaded Yuzu from flathub before Nintendo went after it, but continued to use it after.
I had to expand the swapfile on my Steam Deck to prevent it from frequently crashing, but I don’t really care about frame rate, so long as it’s playable. I’ve not been paying attention to my frame rate.
Why do we have to wait like a century for open domain?
Thank that fucking mouse
Let go. It’ll be quick and painless.
Indie gamedev is where it’s at.
I just follow Skywind. I can’t give a fuck about whatever Bethesda does, as long as they leave those folks alone.
Thank you for bringing skywind to my attention!! I was just nerdong out at my girlfriend with nostalgia for Morrowind, can’t wait until that’s playable!
Isn’t it a hell of a thing? Their soundtrack is especially good.
It’s over bro, the developers who made the game you love are long, long gone. That isn’t your company, it’s a corporation wearing that company’s bloody torn-off face as a mask

It’s a lot easier to accept when you absolutely know the people who made your favourite series are gone.

I like this imagery. Do you write fanfic? 🤓
Used to, but I’m a little past the age.
You’re never too old to go horny on main at AO3
I agree except the part about revolution. There was no revolution my friend. Just a temporary protest that didn’t accomplish anything.
I know it got quashed; I’m not saying there was a revolution. “Free Hong Kong, the revolution of our times” was the anti-oppression slogan said by the victor of a heartstone tournament (which there was no rule or stipulation against), which caused Blizzard to ban the player from all tournaments, and refuse to pay him the prize money he’d won in an attempt to suck up to the chinese government.
To clarify: I don’t expect a gaming company to stand up to a full blown authoritarian regime. But I certainly won’t support a company that willingly goes the extra mile to sell out to them.
Dunno if it’s TES or Fallout that you’re into, but if it’s the former, check out the Beyond Skyrim project. It’s extremely ambitious, but they’re attempting to create the entirety of Tamriel as a series of Skyrim mods.
Hot tip, friend, thank you!!
Now I really hope that they manage to include old glitches/exploits and Easter eggs. You reminded me of Morrowind and the soul trap glitch and the scrolls of icarian flight, and my girlfriend now has been educated on both topics 🤣
Ooh, looks exciting! Thanks!
R.i.p. Halo. 1v1 on hang em high’s magic will never be recaptured
I know several people riding the dicks of the CoD devs. Like they are hoping it’s going to get better and keep throwing money at them.
They have been using the same formula for 15 years and it still works, I have no idea what the people you know are expecting
Fuck the publishers for sure, the devs aren’t all bad people I can only assume
I’ll keep sucking 3archs dick, though, they’re literally the only company making the kind of zombies content that actually scratches my fucking itch for it. I hate it
Bro… Just buy ps3 and Xbox 360, i bought them, obtained SSD in each of them and there’s giant backlog of unplayed high quality games, and since servers for shut down, you’ll have to hack your console and you’ll have these games for free
This is me waiting for the new Mafia installment
COME ON DRAGON AGE YOU CAN DO IT
I BELIEVE
(Just not enough to preorder)
Never.
Worst case scenario can get on a discount and cry like don Corleon
Then play the series again to cleanse.
Sounds like a you problem
Surely the next Battlefield game will be good…
Shots dead sooo dead. Delta force might be worth
I’ve kinda wanted to firebomb EA and Bioware offices for the shit they’ve put my partner through lol. She so desperately wanted DA4 to be a good CRPG, or at least follow close to Inquisition and carry on the story.
The Veilguard has shown none of that and every time something new for that shit show gets shown, I worry she’s going to cry.
Consider getting a therapist, this sounds very unhealthy.
Nothing unhealthy about that. Video games, crying and arson are the holy trinity of our generation. It’s just contemporary culture.
Bethesta is gone, no point in expecting anything from them anymore.
Time for Betterthesda
Mentally prepared for Elder Scrolls VI being a huge disappointment 😔
