Elder Scrolls

people were starved for a new elder scrolls.
how woke was the demaster or did they actually not fuck it up?

this is some major cope
it's asscreed, it'd sell well enough by normies off the name alone even if it was completely unplayable.
it's like being shocked that COD sells well every year regardless of the actual quality of the game.

Maybe that's why it runs so poorly.

It runs like shit because it's UE5

Ya ya keep on coping with your flop, tranny

Most gamers are on console.

can barely beat a 20 year old game

kek

There are no sales numbers for asscreed which means it sold 0 copies

I'm willing to bet the white man could have done better than people paid 7 dollars an hour at most.

The only woke thing is body type 1 and 2.
Which makes no sense since the player is referred to as a man or woman throughout the entire game.
I feel like devs just add this nonsense because somebody wearing a suit tells them to. Absolutely nobody asks for this yet it still appears in nearly every game.

AssCreed Didn't even release sales figures what are they talking about? It didn't do well on steam did all right but nothing special

Rehashing is profitable. Expect more of this.

Assassins Creed Shadows

Wat? Its numbers were awful.

Wait, you guys told me Asscreed shadows flopped?

it's not so bad then but a no-buy from me then, will pirate later if it's possible. though i really should try the original first.

Oblivion Remake

70 devs

transparent sales figures except goypass

Skyrim

100 devs

transparent sales figures

Clair Obscur

30 devs

transparent sales figures

Ass Shadows

3 - 5000 devs

no sales figures it's anti semitic if you ask

I can't remember Starfield numbers it's a shitshow as well.

I can't remember Starfield numbers

15mil+

Yeah and it apparently had 250 devs maybe it's not the bloated nightmare I thought it was.

Oblivion is bad and gay

third best selling

behind two games on gamepass

... uh what?

censorship

Nah lmao fuck off, Todd

makes sense, don't really see people talking about it, but I believe it's massively popular with normies. That puts the narrative that black MC amount to poor sales, but it's quite the opposite. People love Yasuke

Sales number?

Next is fallout 3 then maybe new vegas then skyrim

2nd highest selling game of the year while also being free on ubisoft+

How was it not a success?

You guys told me Shadows flopped. Did Anon Babble lie to me again?

Absolute shit

Are you done watching the youtube video yet

I'm confused as to who the intended audience of this shit remaster is

weapons grade copium post

i bought ass creed but will never play it without playing rise of ronin and ghost of tsushima

incorporate more of its elements in TES6

there are barely any "elements" left in oblivion. Copy pasted dungeons, a dead feeling world with nothing to discover except more copy pasted dungeons, tiny "cities", no branching quest paths, pathetic rpg systems, what the fuck can they even dumb down at this point?

Skyrim at least had skill trees and more interesting dungeons, guess they will be dropping those for VI

behind assassin's creed shadows

ass creed peak player count 64k

oblivion peak player count 216k

hmm

Gamers who realize they can easily find Oblivion porn on the internet so they don’t need in-game models to be scantily-clad.

We already know what 6 will have

2 regions, Hammerfell and Highrock

Dragons

Fewer or no load screens

Ship building and piracy

Yes, they ruined virtually every female armor/clothing set.
Bethesda has completely sold out. They went from doing based shit like the LeFemm Armor plug-in to...whatever this is supposed to be.
Why change it though? The only reason to go out of their way to change something like this is obviously agenda-driven.

You can pirate it now, there's no DRM

including goypass

Until the last few weeks only 2 games came out this year.

Draft yourself female protagfag

The only woke thing is body type 1 and 2.

And blatant censorship.

ProTip: The numbers for AC Shadows are completely fabricated.

knew there had to be more woke stuff than just body types

It's not just that they censored. Some of these redesigns look absolutely retarded (pic rel).
Also, there has supposedly been a few dialog changes but I haven't confirmed those yet.

sold worse than fucking veilguard

:success"

lol
lmao

Highrock is iffy depending on how much you trust the 'trust me bro' leakers. There was one the other day who said the tilesets for ES6 were....Breton, Wrathguard (This is Orcs so probably Wrothgar /shrug), Imperial (they said it was just a differently shaded Breton style), Yokuda, Ansei, Desert Nomads, Forebear, Crowns and then Dwemer and Left-handed Elves mostly as just dungeons.
To me this sounds like mostly Hammerfell with maybe Evermore and Elinhir in the east and also Orsinium (since as of the 4th era it's in the mountains a little Northwest of Falkreath.
I'm also not sure what piracy and ship building is supposed to add, seems like the sorta thing they mentioned a decade ago because AC: Black Flag was big but has been dropped since.

Really? How many copies did it sell? (saying it has x players is not copies sold) any successful game always states "thanks for 500k copies sold" etc. Any flop copes stating how many "players" it has

but a no-buy from me then

It's day one gamepass. Literally doesn't matter. Just pirate it.

Not going to lie, I kind of want a Skyrim in Oblivion Remastered graphics. I would only play it if it was a free update or something, not another stupid 50 dollar purchase or whatever. Yeah, it would break mods, but it would cut down so much time of having to constantly redownload the body mods I keep using off of Nexus to prevent me from gouging out my eyeballs every time I feel the urge to replay Skyrim.

2nd highest selling game of the year

very impressive, now let's see the competition
oh look, they lost to the only big game of the year and are about to lose to a remaster

you are literally everything wrong with video games

all those female-exclusive outfits/female protagonist-pandering on Nexus

I will allow it this one time to stick it to those faggots.

blackwood company armor is now just basic steel armor

Who at Bethesda greenlit this shit???

WE LIKE FORTNITE WE LIKE FORTNITE

All this game did is make me wanna reinstall skyrim.

i dont understand, why not just make it look like the original. they must have had the original to compare to.

"gamepass" players count as buying customers? no wonder the numbers are so off these days

Hey guys.... I like little type 1's. Like I really like them. Just so I can be honest about it.

I said I would only play it if it was a free DLC, you retarded piece of shit. Tell me what purchases you made this year. Tell me what games YOU'VE been playing/enjoying recently. I fucking dare you.

Todd wants you to buy Skyrim Anniversary Edition. Resist the call of the Todd.

Don't worry, that'll probably come after they pump out the Fallout 3/New Vegas remasters (and maybe something with Morrowind?), since by that time it will have been almost 20 years since Skyrim's initial release, just like with Oblivion now.
I'm expecting they'll use it as a stopgap between ES6 and Fallout 5.

You guys ever download little type 1 pictures? It's not a good idea to download little type 1 pictures on clearnet.

you spiritually accept this shit

This one is less offensive, but still, it's supposed to be a REMASTER. Why make the effort to change?

i dont understand, why not just make it look like the original. they must have had the original to compare to.

It must have been ESG related. I wonder if Bethesda is consulting with Sweet Baby Inc or if possibly Microsoft is forcing them to do so.

With GTA 6 not coming out until May of next year, and TES 6 not coming out until 2027 (2026 ain't happening, you people are deluded, even 2027 is hopeful), and with no competitors willing to fucking develop anything even remotely close to it, no one can blame me.

I notice you didn't answer my question, little lame duck

I really don't get who it's for, because even the most progressive lefties think genders exist because they're constantly affirming and identifying as them. And trans have THE strongest belief in gender because they're willing to chop their dicks off to fit the mould of one of them.

So the type 1/2 stuff is for who? A group even more niche that wants to forcefully assert gender doesn't exist?

Nice try glowie. Go stick your honeypot somewhere else.

b-but my steam charts!

SHUTYOASSUP

Not sure on copies sold but if we trust VGchartz for the PS5 in April then....
In the US the Oblivion Remaster was the top seller for the month, Clare obscure was in 6th place, and AC Shadows was in 9th, below GTA5.
In the EU the Oblivion remaster was 2nd below Forza 5, Clair Obscure was in 4th and AC shadows was in 7th (still behind GTA5)
The recent Indiana Jones game seems to be doing pretty decently for something that came out back in.... what December? It's only 2 spots behind AC5 in the US and 1 spot behind in the EU.
On Steam the week ending April 29th had Oblivion in 1st, Clair Obscure 2nd, AC Shadows isn't ranked (Monster hunter wilds is 10th tho)

No, it will be Skyrim again (or worse) and there is nothing you can do about that. All this has done is make it so people will look at it in an even worse light.

These redesigns look genuinely awful. I think some of these are literal copy & paste from Skyrim creations (paid mods btw for those who said that would never happen)

Fallout 3/New Vegas remasters

They're going to neuter the shit out of both of them IF they ever even happen. Especially Fallout 3 with the slavery quests.

Corpos will seek to be as least offensive as possible. In this day and age, people now realize that it takes just one psychopath to stalk and threaten your employees.

because it's irrelevant you autist
stop supporting cheap rehashes

This one I want to like because they made the glass look more like it did in Morrowind, but alas, they took away the breast plates, gave it a manly silhouette, and turned the greaves into a pair of pants with knee pads.

Unacceptable.

Corpos will seek to be as least offensive as possible

that's literally not true in the slightest
they just want to offend the "right" people

The breast plates are still there it just actually covers the gut now instead being retardedly useless.
Also it seems like the Remaster has caused a pretty significant increase in players across the other ES games as well. The 30 day gain for Skyrim is 10%, Oblivion GOTY, Morrowind and Daggerall are all up 20%, Arena's up 30%..... granted that's basically no people for daggerfall or arena still.

IF they ever even happen

IF

How is it even a question at this point? The Oblivion remaster has been insanely popular, the Fallout show was insanely popular (to the point where a season 3 is apparently already in early development), BGS isn't releasing a new Fallout for several years now, and Microsoft was already planning a Fallout 3 remaster after Oblivion on their internal forecast anyway.
And then a New Vegas remaster would be an easy follow-up since most of the internal work would already be done for 3's remaster anyway.

Both are more of an eventuality than anything, and are largely appealing to Microsoft since BGS takes so much time between major releases. The better question is if they ever bother with Morrowind (i.e., if they even feel like they need to, Skyrim would probably get a higher priority in comparison).

It's weird that noone knows a single person who has played it if it sold so much

You don't want my link to hot little type 1's? I promise no dremoracore.

Is anyone else getting their CPU fried by this game?

Yeah, I agree, but it's just odd.

hey you need to change this to type a

why?

the consultants said, so we don't offend anyone

offend who?

people who believe gender doesn't exist

who believes that?

let's see, no one in LGBT they're all about gender, so maybe someone in QIA?

but how can a trans person larp as a chosen gender if we remove genders? aren't we alienating everyone else except whoever these people are?

I dunno, just do it.

THIS

Oblivion GOTY

Meaning the original? If so, that's encouraging. No one should be spending $50 on a fucking 20 year old game, I don't care how "nice" the coat of paint is (it's actually shit)

ya the 2009 version has 2.2k people on atm, with the 30 day average being 1.8k
I imagine the average will continue to increase a lot as more days pre-remaster are replaced on the 30day tracker.

I didnt realize PLAYERS meant sold

That's marketing in the current year, anon.
Soon they'll be reporting trackers as units sold too.

You don't want my link to hot little type 1's? I promise no dremoracore.

Actually looking at it the All time peak of the Oblivion GOTY edition was 5069 hit at the end of April.
Morrowind missed the peak of 1371 by less than 100 In the last week.

No it isn't. They're going to make the game even dumber and less complex than Skyrim so they can capture the illustrious modern audience. Thing only ever get worse with Bethesda and you should have learned your lesson by now.

oblivion remake 70 devs

look at the credits theres like two hundred outsourced chinese

Have sex

irrelevant numbers since the majority of owners for those games didn't get it from steam

Stop being gay

Anyone here got a vid they can share for Anequina's Destruction? I promise that I'm totally not TIDF posting Dwemer pots.

I think there is technically hope in the sense that their dogshit games have been huge successes so far, and from what has been revealed in interviews and leaks internally in the company there was the feeling that they could do no wrong
Then 76 came out, but that was their first online game so they had excuses, it was "experimental"

Then Starfield came out, their tested and tried formula... and it was hated, mostly played on goypass for 3 bucks, and universally mocked.
Emil, who had only received praised in his life outside of a few guys here and other more obscure forums, for the first time in his life, was harrassed online, something that completely shocked him because he was genuinely convinced he was putting out banger after banger. After all, all his games sold millions. Todd was more used to criticism, being the face of the company, but I doubt he ever faced a PR disaster as big as f76 and starfield one after the other.

There is the non zero possibility that this could be a wake up call to their upper management that they do not shit gold, and that their games won't be huge successes forever, forcing them to tryhard again.

Nobody. They're fudging the numbers for investors by saying "players".

Then Starfield came out, their tested and tried formula... and it was hated

Todd has already come out in defense of Starfield, specifically saying that people probably didn't like it because it was too different from their tested and true formula.

Hot little bodytype 1's in your area!

I miss old sheo :(

quack...quack

Todd is a PR man, he has to stand by the product no matter what
But if he actually believes that, and not because it was bland, uninspired, badly written and poorly thought out at a fundamental level, he's retarded and our only hope is that other higher ups are less retarded than he is.

hope they make tes6 big as skyrim

Starfield was apparently one of his personal dream projects, so I'm willing to believe that he thinks people just didn't "get" it.

Woah... I think I remember her from Elder Climax from back in the day when they used to show real little bodytype 1's!

Skyrim is not that big by today's standards, it just has a very well designed map both in how to get from one place to another (you can rarely go in a straight line) and in terms of distractions to the player (what could be a 20 minutes trip becomes 5 hours long for many players)

I think it's exploration is so good it saved what would be otherwise a mediocre game in every other aspect.

six million players

Don't forget the race and sex swaps. Compare class pictures like warrior, compare Arena poster, compare statues, compare vendors and how many suddenly nogs

I pirated the game and I'm having fun. Why didn't I get a discount for already owning Oblivion, Skyrim eight times, and every other Elder Scrolls games?
Especially when the game is on gamepass.

Have you noticed that nearly all the bandits are red guards?

Here is a fun thing - the only reason such armour sets as madness armour, amber armour, dark seducer armour and golden saint armour look fairly decent in remaster is because they are just using models that Bethesda developed for Skyrim's Creation Club.

Are the Shadows numbers in the room with us right now?

The remake was a test for ElderScrolls VI, that's why info on the game has been none existent because they had nothing to go on all this time. Star Field bombed in comparison to the Oblivion remake when you take into account the man hours it took to make. People want the old formula of Bethesda games, everyone who bought the Oblivion remake should pat themselves on the back because it's thanks to you that ElderScrolls VI will move towards how their games used to be and not towards how they thought their games should be - which we can all agree on that their idea of what they thought was right is actually so fucking wrong

How many copies did it sell?

TES VI is vaporware. That's why the game is none existent.

reminder that skyrim was only announced like 6 months before it came out
bethesda has never been much for long marketing campaigns

The success of Baldur's Gate 3 and Oblivion Remaster, and the failure of Starfield, are both going to have major impacts on how TES6 is designed.

you are delusional

Ubisoft hasn't released sales data, the claim either way can't be corroborated due to that.

It's completely logical for Bethesda to just ignore what's successful right now

Hey, remind me again why Oblivion went more generic fantasy over the original Kirkbride concepts? Oh yeah, it was because Todd watched Lord of the Rings.

major impacts on how TES6 is designed.

Its going to be another bethesda game with even more streamlined mechanics and stripped out agency

Starfield has more complex mechanics than both Fallout 4 and Skyrim. It's like the only thing it did well alongside the ship building.

I think the remaster will age worse than the original game desu. The art assets look super generic and far removed from the original concepts.

starfield sold more than double reblivion tho.

Weak bait.

It sold a lot because people expected a typical, fun Bethesda game. What they got was boring slop.

I advise you actually play it if you're going to critique it. It's a shit game, but the perk system actually limits you out of various and distinct content unless you select said perks. They go beyond simple damage buffs.

the claim either way can't be corroborated due to that.

On the other hand it can be debunked with relative confidence using steam player numbers and statistics we already know to be accurate in regards to to the average ps5 vs pc split for multiplats, and those numbers suggest asscreed we wuz edition possibly didn't even break 1.5 mil actual sales, though to be fair ubishaft doesn't care about total sales anymore either way since they can milk mentally retarded hooked whales for a billion dollars over the next year with microtransactions like they've been doing with the last several entries to the franchise.

It's boring as fuck, just drop it and play Expedition 33.
Seriously. It's just a subquest simulator, combat is worse (I think) than Skyrim, just mindlessly smashing your weapons at the enemy.

Gotta wait a year for the Dark Souls combat mods, those made Skyrim way more enjoyable for me, with a roll button and stamina bars....
But even then, I've barely fought as is. It's just a lot of clutter with the quests and not enough action.

To be fair they both look awful

I thought its character development was actually really good compared to previous bethesda entries. i don't remember ever feeling hit as hard in a previous beth open world the way I was when I lost Andreja on my first play through, but yea the "outpost" building was totally pointless and lame as shit-- and I say this as someone who spent literally hundreds of hours dicking around and having fun with modded FO4 settlement building, and the exploration felt severely stunted by the procgen and limited PoIs in tandem with really bad distribution weighting of said PoIs. Oh, and they really shit the bed with having to reset and grab every temple 10x if you wanted to max out your powers. I also would have liked more and more varied modules for the ship building but it was ok.

>Baldur's Gate 3

game sells well based solely off of Shadowhearts tits

lefties try to claim its a woke game

Weird

but yea the "outpost" building was totally pointless and lame as shit

There are theories that resource farming was initially going to be a requirement to prevent yourself from getting trapped in space.

lmao at how they literally just gave both type 1 and type 2 a male body. what's the point in there being a binary choice? for that matter, why is there still a binary choice if "non-binaries" are the ones they're trying to cater to by not just calling them male and female?

>It's completely logical for Bethesda to just ignore what's successful right now

I like how you think bethesda is logical after just talking about starfield. Holy shit.

20 years later still mindless droning about lotr

top shelf retard

damn jeets are lazy as fuck

ubisoft is bad

this makes starfield good

I don't follow

20 years later still mindless droning about lotr

Are you just denying reality now because it's inconvenient to you?

I can't imagine anyone watching the opening cutscene to Oblivion and not immediately forming the LOTR connection, it's so blatant

No attributes

No armour type specific upgrades

No vats alternative

No power armour

Almost no choice in upgrades (everything other than dps is useless)

Animals no longer have different AI or different meat

I could think of dozens more examples but I can't think of anything that's more complex in Starfield.

Until TES VI.

the power of FOMO is crazy, how many people never played the original despite it costing next to nothing or even while already having it in their library, but then it was put on gamepass with a new coat of paint and they all went crazy for it? Marketers have us by the balls nowadays, it's hard to resist and not playing what you see everyone talk about

What kind of pathetic cope is this? LMFAO

None of this is related to roleplaying. Starfield's perks unlock new quests and quest paths.

You always lose Andreja. Starfield failed on every fundamental level. It wasn't even an RPG. If that was Todd's dream project, than I question his sanity, because it was probably a nightmare that roused whatever little cog in his derpy brain that made begin working on Starfield. Make a wrong decision regarding The Eye? You lose Andreja. Decide to enter the Unity? You lose Andreja. DON'T enter the Unity? She literally tells you

Nah, get your ass back in there faggot. What did you think this was, an RPG?

And you lose Andreja anyway. Todd Howard keeps stripping away the combat, the mechanics, and now even the choices. There is nothing left, not even the semblance or facade of an RPG.

bethesda operates on logic

Hey this is extremely popular right now, imitate it

They do this

It's somehow a wide stretch to say Baldur's Gate 3 and now Oblivion Remastered will have influence over TES6

don't reply to bait

Low test

1. It's a matter of principle and freedom
2. You will never be a woman

Imitate what? Nesmith outright said they don't want "more numbers and fiddly character sheets" when discussing BG3's success. They see the things people are enjoying in other, successful RPGs and say "that's dumb, people don't want that". It's Blizzard-tier.

RPG elements don't effect roleplaying

What the fuck is up with zoomers believing that RPGs are talking simulators. The moment zoomers get into game development roleplaying will die. RPGs will just be CoD with dialogue options. I'm blaming mass effect and New Vegas faggots for this.

Bethesda will likely incorporate more of its elements in TES6 than

the only thing Bethesda will take from the remaster is that they need to add a layer of shitty UE5 graphics on top of their buggy engine just so you need a 5080 for 1080p max

He thinks roleplaying mechanics are power armor and gear upgrades

No wonder the genre has gone to shit.

Nigger, better gear, loot and a fucking VATS system have nothing to do with roleplaying. This is not the strength of the best example of the genre in decades which is BG3. That game is a good roleplaying game because almost every quest has like 5+ decisions, and each one of them locks you out of potential rewards and even other quests, in exchange for new paths and alternate quests.

Decisions in the narrative and the world responding to you is what makes an RPG. Not fucking +5 to gun damage on your spreadsheet.

Most are Kahjeets.

the best example of the genre in decades which is BG3

grim, you can get the mark of the Absolute in that game and it barely affects anything

One example that doesn't in a sea of many that do.

Fallout 4 is the best RPG Bethesda has made since Morrowind. And it's precisely because factions have overlap and can end up killing each other.

in a sea of many that do

like what, having a character survive a fight and reappear later in the story as a minor insignificant pawn? Big deal. The game boils down to the binary choice of saving the world or being a murder hobo, everything else is dating sim and set dressing

Reductionism

I can do the same thing--You're a faggot.

Keep crying Reddit tranny

Not in my play through. Almost all redguard.

It sold at least one because I bought it :)

they actually coded the remaster to generate your npcs based on your internet browsing habits, looks like it's bbcs and furfaggotry all the way down for you guys

armor actually protects more of the body now

How is this a bad thing

I hate unreal engine, it's just depressing to look at

how do you know that anything sold any copies?

I prefer the oblivion we got in a geographic sense. A heartland that takes on the properties of the lands it borders is cool at makes sense as it’s the centre of the wheel/creation.

I do hate the armour looking more knightly than Roman though. Glad to see Skyrim and ESO go full Roman with the empires

want to start learning how to make game

unity seems volatile and not future proofed

unreal games all turn out shitty in some ways

wtf indie bros

Fallout 4 is the best RPG Bethesda has made since Morrowind.

Absolutely and the only reason why people consider it a bad RPG is because New Vegas fans are butt hurt that it isn't a carbon copy of their game. The only real weakness of fo4 is that there weren't enough big side quests but those that are in the game are amazing.

Diamond city blues has like a dozen different outcomes. In the quest with the infected molerats you have to choose between a permanent debuff or letting a child die. Or, alternatively just don't get hit the entire quest and that's another thing I love about fo4 quests. So many quests have additional secret options the game doesn't tell you about. If you stay in character the entire silver shroud quest the Raiders at the end will be too afraid of you to fight you or alternatively you can kill Kent and threaten the Raiders into attacking their boss. In the meat canning factory if you don't attack the owner at the end and get close to him he'll surrender and offer blackmail to keep quiet about the ghoul meat.

It's crazy that people act like Fallout 4 is less of an RPG than Skyrim.

You know that you can just lie, right? You don't have to use some other number to only kinda half lie.
