Oblivion Demastered Hatethread

I hate what they did to the healthbar/HUD in the Demaster. And also the UI generally.

the unreal slop demake is still better and more fun simply because the combat and leveling up arent the most half assed janky shit ever conceived as is in the og.

No it isn’t you spastic bastard fuckoid. FUCKING DIEEE!!!

make artstyle worse

make performance worse

make UI worse

don't fix bugs that the community fixed almost 20 years ago

call it a remaster and slap a $60 pricetag on it

Yep, literally a DEmaster. Raping the Mona Lisa…

Get raped.

I have complaints but its all stuff that mods easily fix. Im optimistic for its future, I want to see this as the groundwork for mods going forward.

playing any Bethesda game without mods

make artstyle worse

the artstyle is better and more consistent/detailed now, you may be thinking of the color grading (which is actually worse and needs mods to fix, the remaster is way too fucking drab and colorless)

make performance worse

it does not run well no

make UI worse

this is a matter of opinion in most cases, stuff like the map UI is a little worse for sure

don't fix bugs that the community fixed almost 20 years ago

if they had fixed this stuff i am pretty sure you would be calling it soulless, and isn't it better to still have those community fixes working instead of having 2000 new bugs to fix

call it a remaster and slap a $60 pricetag on it

it's $50 actually

try to be factual when you discuss games okay? thanks

I don't think I've ever hated Anon Babble more than I have this past week. Not only the retards defending the myriad of issues the remake has but the sheer amount of people on here acting like a 7th gen game developed for consoles is some sort of unapproachable ancient relic of gaming. The original Oblivion is extremely retard accessible and dumbed down compared to the previous entries. I don't care if it's been 20 years or fucking 500, you shouldn't even be posting on Anon Babble if you don't play a wide range of games from many differents eras. Words like "jank" and "cryptic" are not things I should be seeing here used as negatives, this isn't fucking Reddit.

It's like this entire board's culture is just dead now and the place is overrun with the type of poster we'd laugh at a decade ago.

this is a matter of opinion in most cases

It isn't, the new UI is objectively flatter, less detailed and more offensive to the eyes.

How different is it? I loved oblivion when it came out but the leveling and scaling always ruined it for me.

this isn't fucking Reddit

it may as well be

You shouldn’t be posting on Anon Babble if you play games at all, newfag…

Every Bethesda game is a pain in the ass to mod, but that's not a complaint I've seen slung around here recently.

you have NO idea what you're talking about if you think installing mods in oblivion is the same as other bethesda games and obviously never did it yourself back in the day

DURR WHY ARENT YOU SMEARING SHIT ALL OVER THE WALLS TOO HURR ITS SUPPOSED TO BE HORRIBLE HERE

I'm so fucking tired.

Poorfag boomer thread

Sad.

close the tab and go to bed you whiny little man

paying for tes games

dumb zoomer

the circular healthbar was always a giant fucking piece of SHIT
it depletes quickly at the start but massively slows down towards the end
it's so fucking bad that there's a debug healthbar that floats above their heads in the fucking game that you can enable via a single ini change and it's vastly superior to the default

I can't get rid of stutters I've tried it on two machines, the game is pretty much playable at locked 60 fps but the stutters are annoying

rx 7800 + 5800x3d

rtx 4080 super + 7800x3d

they both literally perform the same despite the latter being 2x stronger

It's more about the hardware to be able to run it, numbskull. No wonder you are poor

If you even need a healthbar you’re a simpleton.

why the fuck do you have 2 machines?

It's the same gameplay you fucking retarded shill.

if you don't need one you're playing on too low a difficulty
knowing the enemy's health informs your tactics

why not? i have that am4 pc i have refurbished recently for cheap it used to have a 2700x + 1080ti

Nah, you’re genuinely just low IQ if you need a healthbar at all, regardless of difficulty.

yeah because chess players are known for being low iq
being able to adapt and decide whether you should play offensively or defensively is fun
fog of war encourages repetitive cookie cutter strategies

Do chessplayers get an IRL HUD prompt telling them what moves their opponent is going to make? Do boxers get an IRL HUD prompt showing them how close their opponent is to being knocked down?
You do not need a healthbar if you are remotely intelligent and observant and competent at games. Imbecile.

Zoomies really frothing at the mouth over this game.

chess players can completely understand the state of the game
boxers can see how tired and worn out their opponent is
oblivion gives you no feedback, you can't know whether the enemy has half health or 10% based on the visuals alone
a swing and a miss retard

meh
i just dont care about oblivion either way

Yeah and you can understand the health if your opponents in a video game if you’re observant and perceptive and can retain information. But nah you need a fuckoff glowing bar taking up half your screen to tell you how close they are to death. Retard.

I just installed Oblivion XP and it blows whatever trash system they use normally out of the water. You can only level skills and attributes on level up and you assign points in skills you want.
Not having to jump everywhere makes it worth it on its own but the level ups feeling impactful and skills feeling meaningful when leveled is a good bonus

there's no way to know how much max health the enemy has unless you go out of your way to go
metafag on a wiki
oblivion has scaling enemy health you fucking retard, that shit just keeps going up and there's zero in game feedback to that whatsoever
normal people would assume that better weapons mean faster kill times but player damage scales way less than enemy health and damage

Describe in detail how Oblivion communicates the health of an enemy you are fighting.

the gameplay it encourages is definitely better because it actually discourages you from skipping enemies

I have over a thousand hours on the OG back in the day, played with a ton of quest, magic mods, all the deadly reflex combat shit and replayed it last year with the heartland modlist with a more vanilla enhanced approach a year ago.
The remastered version is outright superior and the visuals are beyond amazing, you guys are just incapable of enjoying things, literal broken human beings.

Funny you should say that because the demaster unironically made the scaling into a even bigger problem. You level up around ~50% faster compared to the OG Oblivion so you will outlever your gear even easier than before.

outright superior

at combat? it's the same if not worse due to melee becoming slower, the fatigue rework is complete garbage and the game ends when you unlock bashes at block 75 and can staggerlock every non ghost
marksman and destruction is completely unchanged but willpower is op as shit so mage is even more broken
magic skills are way easier to level but under the hood it's the same fucking game with a new coat of paint
you're insane if you think modded 2006 oblivion is worse

Yeah, who knew an RPG feels best when it uses the tried and true system that goes back to pen and paper instead of some random bullshit some stoner at Bethesda came up with on a whim

I've seen streamer play the game for 20 hours without realizing that that's a health bar, so that's probably why they changed it. It's the DSP effect.

That streamer should be raped to death.

but the sheer amount of people on here acting like a 7th gen game developed for consoles is some sort of unapproachable ancient relic of gaming

Most of the people populating the internet (except for Facebook) were born after 2006. It might as well be.
