The Oblivion Demaster

Was the Oblivion remaster unironically the worst thing to happen to Gaming?

the worst thing to happen to Gaming?

That was Oblivion's horse armor, actually.

Horse armor was kino.

This one of the best remasters ever. I don't give a fuck what anyone says. Oblivion boomers are retarded. The original game was unplayable. This game is faithful to the original game, while also looking and playing better. The only issues I have with it are the removal of the female-specific armors and the stupid Body Type 1 and 2 shit, both of which are relatively minor in my actual enjoyment of the game, even if they are major cultural problems.

I can think of a few worse things

I've seen worse but this is strill pretty bad

It literally plays and looks worse though?

H-Hey guys why did they remove the "male" and "female"

WHY DOES IT MATTER? WHAT ARE YOU, A RACIST TRANSPHOBE CHUD. HAHAHA LAUGH AT THE RACIST CHUD FOR MENTIONING IT. IT DOESNT MATTER HAHAHAHA IT DOESNT MATTER ITS NOT AN ISSUE

i fucking people who downplay this issue in video gaming. it's clearly there for a purpose and that purpose is a social engineering campaign to basically blur and distort basic human anatomy and globohomo shit. Fucking inbreds.

I love phoneposting! :)

and did they fix that mistake in the "remaster"?

Nah, not really fixed just kind of alleviated by basically making it you're free to dump your starts wherever without having to worry about how many jumps you do or how far you run

Scaling and planning your build are two completely different things. The way Oblivion does both is shit but the remaster fixes the latter which in turn makes the former a bit better.

Fuck off Crowbcat. We cancelled your ass when you made that yee yee ass RE4make video.

How would you describe remaster's art style? Makes me think of shit like Clash of Clans and WoW but not quite. Certainly in that sort of realm. It's like the kind of loveless thirdie shit you see on ArtStation. Is there a name for it?

Oblivion Remastered is great and you're a bitch

I'm not going to enjoy one of the best games released this year because it says body type 1 or 2 at the start

you're one retarded faggot

Stop being retarded. That is all you get.

Oblivion is a masterpiece compared to Demons Souls Demake.

Why are the characters always hunched over in the remaster? This image illustrates it perfectly, the character in the original is stood up straight.

It was released in 2006 faggot.

Get your eyes checked; they're both hunched.

thanks for proving my point you dumb gormless retarded faggot

Outsourced to SEA or jeets UE slop demakes still sell like a cakes. New era of slop is coming. All you're favorite games will be slopified.

Low effort Unreal Engine game.

But the remaster is the same game with UE5 graphics slapped on top, how can one be unplayable and not the other?

It’s much more exaggerated in the remaster. The first city I visited I saw an NPC walking past hunched over and I assumed it was a new animation they added for the homeless characters, then I noticed tons of characters doing it.

I'm sorry for hurting your feelings Chang. Or is it Sukdeep? You did keep Flame Atro's bare ass which counts for something.

It has worse physics.
youtube.com/watch?v=Ok9uLPhaD3w

it's a soulless pajeet durkasoft project

knew it

Physics are literally broken in the Demaster. Same as Fable Trannyversary.

The shills thought removing the post counter would hinder us from recognising their breed a mile away, they thought wrong lol

it fixes the planning by taking it out of the game

kek.
The problem with the original was Fear Of MIssing Out fags do what they do with every game and cry bloody murder at the prospect that they might be retarded (haha) and screw up their buid. The funny thing about oblivion is that it was basically impossible to screw your build up. Stats had such a low impact on damage it really didnt matter much if you didnt get 5x every level. and you can get magic immunity and armor cap even without wearing any armor. The only time you really needed to minmax was on max difficulty where the player did like 5% their normal damage and took 500% more damage, which you could still break because a few skills ignored he modifiers.

my main thoughts are that the performance is absolute dogshit even on my 4090 and that the melee combat and casting somehow feel worse

Im so tired of chud threads...

im tired of niggers, but you know they still exist.

But chuds started right now they cry for everything...

niggers steal and destroy everything, chuds just cry online

drop dead, zoomer

go play your slop then

There's no sign of a discord tranny as certain as the word "demaster".

bg3 tranny spamming all these threads

I would feel more passionate about this remake fucking things up if Oblivion wasn't already the dogshit lowpoint of the series.
What was there to really ruin? They just swapped one kind of ugly for another

What was there to really ruin?

If anything the game only had nostalgia for the ugly npcs, stupid physics, and dialogue.

The remaster just makes the NPCs hideous and grotesque instead of looking like silly lighthearted potatoes. They removed half of the dialogue of the original and replaced it with new voice actors. They fucked up the physics here:

the worst thing to happen to Gaming

That would be the absolutely massive growth of the internet around 2007. But that ruined a whole lot more than just video games.

Nope Elden Slop was

"If it doesn't matter then why change it?"
They never have an answer.

I dislike a lot of the design changes.
Armours are brighter, even ebony or dark brotherhood or any fucking armour is bright as shit.
Enemies are also brighter, their designs got streamlined, and everything now is symmetrical for some reason.
They removed unique idle animations for generic animations.
Instead of some enemies looking like mutated abominations, some with scars, one cloudy eye and the other normal, now they just look like animals.
Everything that was mossy is just fucking gone or it has that cartoon moss instead of a dark green as it used to be.
Will-o-the-wisp and the troll highlight the issue with nu-designs.
A being made of bright light that you can't see anything except light? Nah, now you can see energy beams for some reason.
A mossy troll with three eyes? Nah, you get bigfoot.
Gameplay is better, sure, but everything else, nope.

Todd won, (you) lost.

I didn't downplay the issue you fucking retard.I know why they do it. I said it's a serious issue within our culture right now. L2Read. The fact is, Body Type 1/2 is just a text change you only see once at character creation and I don't play female characters because I'm not a tranny. So it doesn’t matter that much in my personal enjoyment of the game.
Yeah, you had to make sure you "planned" to have all your major skills be things you weren't going to focus on and have your minor skills be your actual fucking skills and not level up too fast or too slow or you'll lose out on stat points. Nothing wrong with that................
I just turned 40 years old. I just didn't play Oblivion until like 2014 so I'm not blinded by nostalgia like you idiots. The original game was literally unplayable after a certain level on a first time blind playthrough. The DB and TG quest lines aren't as great as you niggers think, either.

I dislike a lot of the design changes.

every time someone mentions this as if it was the first-ever paid DLC, you're just outing yourself as a zoomer born after 2000

It was the first major title to implement such a minor cosmetic with a price tag. It popularized the term micro transaction.

retard

This game requires a few mods to fix any retarded little nitpicks you might have, as opposed to the hours you'd have to spend modding the original to make it tolerable.

Why do people keep calling it bad? aside from the shitty performance, removing the female armor because they were either lazy or being really fucking retarded (lefty illness) it seems pretty alright.

This one is embarrassing.

even goblins have that AGP smirk now lmao

IT PLAYS THE SAME CUNT

Where were you stupid cunts for the past 20 years the og was around. This fucking board refused to acknowledge oblivion was good.

most likely you're contrarian faggots who don't even like the original and just want to spend all day arguing over something you don't care about.

Seriously kill yourselves. You're cancer that's killing/v/.

The lighting is bad compared to original. Plus they nerfed the ever loving fuck out of females in this game. Not even a gooner but damn the female armors are all bulky. Female body shaming

None of those posts are claiming the original is good.

The original game was unplayable

help i only leveled up Arcobatics, Mercantile and Speechcraft, and now I can't kill a troll with my barehands. why is this game so broken???

It's hilarious that actual children completed this game for decades but you can't because a youtube video you once watched said it was broken

You're the cancer that is killing Anon Babble because you don't hold the same opinion as me.

Tell me you're American without telling me you're American. Oblivion was always good and unlike you, I don't need my opinion validated by retards online. So seethe on that faggot.

Microsoft marketed the idea of cutting up expansions into piecemeal shit ever since Mechassault 2002, the first Xbox live title released. They sold anything from individual maps to units and other games were following that trend for years. The only real difference is the 360 made it so all DLC was viewable by anyone online without needing to own the game. Whereas the first Xbox required owning it to see any of it.

Unironically this is the death knell to AAA. In short term it will artificially extend the life of the industry but its death is all but certain now.
Repacking existing good games is now a safer, more profitable venture then even releasing a sequel and new IP will become completely verboten. Gaming executives will now expect you to rebuy all the games you used to enjoy on the latest version of ue. This will squeeze some cash from consoomers for awhile but not for long

brown

Bro, nobody played Mechassault. The only reason why anyone bought that was to softmod their xbox

a shit aesthic in 4k with an ultra high polycount is still a shit aesthetic

magic looks worse too

worst game of the franchise

father of AAA MTX

a remaster comes out and it's somehow even worse

Wow, color me surprised.

why do remakes/remasters never try to match the feeling of the original?

It annoys me to see it but to call it an issue at all means you are brainless grifterbait. Especially in a game like this where they still call you woman, female, lady etc. if you play as one. Yes, it is a dumb and pointless change, but on its own it is meaningless

Geeked up vs. locked in

It's the best looking game I've ever played once you install a shader you like

Holy fucking shit do you have a mental illnesss

What was demaster about it? I have 6400 hours in oblivion and the remaster is simply better. You are gonna need to post a detailed justification

Daggerfall>Skyrim=Oblivion>Morrowind>Arena
This is objectively correct. Anyone putting Morrowind higher is a larping zoomer trying desperately to seem cool; it's the worst of both worlds between the new games and the DOS games.

Morrowind has interesting combat though. The dice rolls try to break up the boring hack and slash gameplay

because no one wants nor cares about that. They just want cool unreal engine graphics. Simple as that.

the way it is now you reach three 100s in your stats before you've even finished a single major questline

that was just the start, tf2 hats and cs skins opened the flood gates

Let's just add Oblivion as a whole.

Having chinks wrap old games in Unreal 5, effacing the original art direction and adding huge performance overhead is not a good thing for gaming. Demasters are lazy cash grabs and this is one of the worst.

"bro nobody-*makes up statistics to argue*

not even worth responding thoughtfully

Absolute idiocy, your post is so stupid you should be out to death as a threat to the future of humanity

No, it's the best remaster ever made.

combat fine tuned, but not completely redone

level is scaled faster to fix the old broken leveling system

new voices to spread the dialog around town

they didn't change the music (thank God)

modding is catching up, much less needed to be modded overall because visuals are better, more focus can be made on world overhauls and character appeal

based anon explains why remaster is better

shills wail it’s a demaster but cannot explain why

because they are paid to do so and have no rationale for their shilling

Bro the series sold 1M in 4 years even for the early 2000s that's not exactly an "everyone plays it" Oblivion Sold 3M in 1 year it was far and away more important.

This is the equivalent of pretending the influx of post credits scene isn't a Marvel thing despite post-credit scenes being 50+ years older. Like nigger who cares about the movies who had it before when they didn't lead into a giant influx of them.

And I already know you don't actually have a coherent answer that won't be wrapped in irony.

Why do people like Bethesda? Shallow gameplay, boring storytelling, and the games are buggy as all fuck. I haven't seen this many bugs in a game in a long time. It's like they make jank intentionally I don't understand it.

Placing Daggerfall at the top doesn't make your opinion any less shit.

The original game was unplayable. This game is faithful to the original game

Hence still unplayable. Just looks less ugly.

Name another game that lets you interact with every single person and object with both first and third person combat.

No, but Unreal Engine 5 certainly is. And Nintendo for raising game prices, which caused a domino effect of Microsoft (and likely everyone else soon) doing the same.

It's hard to even call what this dogshit game considers combat "COMBAT". It shows you have a low IQ and you can't even make images in your own head at will.

Nintendo are the worst thing to ever happen to the industry

Cyberpunk 2077?

difficulty is retarded though. apprentice is too easy and medium difficulty is an insane jump.

They and their cultist fans are a blight.

Push log trap into goblins

It actually works now

No. It's better.

asks question

receives answer

gets aggressive with schizo babble

Last (you) you'll receive from me faggot.

Yeah touching plates is great game design

That's really all these games have to offer?

I never once implied it was a system seller like your dumbass just tried to argue. My point was Microsoft started this shit and other companies joined in, which you also bullshitted with more made up number with shit like "softmodding." Nice job dodging all of that in your response.

Why is this shit acceptable?

Will-o-the-wisp and the troll highlight the issue with nu-designs.

Those were the only creatures in OPs video that I thought was downgraded.

It's extremely immersive but requires a lot of set-up. Example: I'm using a combat and overworld overhaul to role-play as a Undead summoning Dremora. I can summon three skeletons Heros to fight against a small army of demons while trying to be as lawful evil as I can.

I can't imagine giving a second fuck about this enough to post it and be mad at it

It's in nearly every big game these days and I care about visual quality, tard knocker.

No you don't, you care about minor autistic details that you only see for 1 seconds max in your peripheral vison.

You don't clamor for quality. Many such cases.

That'd be cool if the game had any sort of morality system, but no you're still killing mountain lions and goblins for civilians.

NOOOOO DONT ADD SPRINT I WANT TO JOG SLOWLY EVERYWHERE!!

This is the first time in ten years ive given this dogshit company any money and instantly I am hit with buyers remorse. Bethesda fans are low quality retards with 0 standards. You all should be ashamed for falling for Todd Howards lies and so should I for ever giving him a chance again

Why did they make two handed swords half the range and one third the speed from the original? Did someone's mom on the dev team get raped by a great sword?

There's a primary attribute and skill for that.

It does have a morality system. The more nefarious you become the higher likelihood of bandits/vamps being allies, guards being hostile and you can't heal at the chapels.

No but modders did, unleveled rewards, caps on enemies at 25, lower tiers stay in the creature list just appear rarely and in bunches.
Still though for the size of the game compared to how quick you max skills/get to level 25 is still atrocious, you don't even hit 5% of the content.

It's objectively a worse iteration than in Daggerfall in terms of true RPG dice-roll combat, and worse real-time action combat than the later titles
Weak bait but nice try. Get better taste. Next you'll tell me how New Vegas is the best game ever made

ask Brother Martin about Oblivion Gates

talks normally

ask him about the prophet

his facial expression changes and his voice becomes the same as a guard with the same generic lines

Quality programming, they really gave a shit with this one

Were you unironically the worst thing to happen to your parents?

Right is better

no they say something about being inclusive and how it would be inhumane to not do it

no third person despite an indepth character creator

EVERY PIECE OF ELVEN ARMOR IS CURSED WITH ETHNO-REWRITING ENCHANTMENTS!

Why do you think when people put on that shiny golden armor, they suddenly sympathize with the Ayleids?
I wore a pair of Elven boots for ten minutes and started defending the White-Gold Tower's ‘cultural legacy.’
This isn’t fashion—it’s MIND MAGIC!

WHY DO THEY WANT TO CLOSE THE OBLIVION GATES NOW?

Think, people! First they open them, then they freak out,
then they send one guy to ‘shut them down’?
Doesn’t add up.
Those gates weren’t invasions—they were tests.
See how fast we panic.
See how obedient we get.
And now they want to close them, seal the evidence, hide the truth.
We should be STUDYING them. Not destroying them!

It's retarded but it won't make or break a game for me if everything else is up to par

I’VE BEEN SILENCED BY THE MAGES GUILD!

Yeah, they kicked me out. Said I was ‘spreading disruptive myths.’ Banned me from the Arcane University.
WHY? ‘Cause I uncovered that Hannibal Traven is an Ayleid lich wearing a glamour.
Look into his eyes next time you see him—they glow.
That’s not natural. That’s ancient white-gold sorcery!

Trans rights are human rights though????

The one correct poster

Bring fighter's guild members weapons

Follow them into the cave to clear out goblins

They run past and aggro literally every goblin who somehow don't give a fuck about them and go straight for me

finally kill them all and progress through the cave

Find all 3 guild members laying dead under a pile of logs

Get shit talked by the guild leader for letting them die

It's not quite better. I know I would have raged if it was any other game but bethesda games always fuck you in such humorous and charming ways that you can't stay mad at them.

And this is still somehow better than any modern game released today. Why are modern developers so averse to physics? Is it a cultural thing?

Bye zoomie. Don't let the door hit you on your way out.

GUARDS KNOW!
You ever say something suspicious and suddenly hear, ‘STOP RIGHT THERE, CRIMINAL SCUM!’?
That’s not about crime. That’s triggered scripting! They have enchantments tied to key phrases. Say ‘Talos Bless You’ too
loud and suddenly you’re paying a fine to avoid mind-scanning!

his point, which still stands, was that it sold like shit and nobody knows of that game
Oblivion being a system seller launching with such a minor optional transactions popularized the term, as he said
you're the one acting retarded by go "HURRRR PEOPLE CAN'T SOFTMOD XBOX" and strawmaning the actual points anon made

They're turning the friggin argonians gay!

I don't think it launched with horse armor. That came about later as far as my recollection goes.

THE LUSTY ARGONIAN MAID IS ON PURPOSE—IT'S DAEDRIC SOFT INFLUENCE!
They didn’t write it for laughs. They wrote it to normalize inter-species compliance fantasies.
It lowers your arcane resistance.
I ran a test! I read a paragraph and my Magicka defenses dropped by 6 points.
That’s real, documented, THAUMATURGIC PORNOGRAPHY!!

Enter a building

Everything falls off the table

So this is the power of Unreal

Asscreed outsold oblivion

I call bullshit.

Plays engine named unreal

Expects things to be real

What were fucking expecting?

Bro, drink your cure disease potion. NOW.

no athletics

Grim

first is still better doebiet

SHADOWMILK™: Raw, Unfiltered Minotaur Milk
Minotaurs don’t trust the government. That’s why I trust them.
Their milk contains natural sigil-blocking proteins, and no Aedra additives.
I’ve been drinking SHADOWMILK™ every day for five years—and look at me!
Skin like troll-hide, dreams like black glass, and a gut full of secrets they’ll never take from me.
Drink SHADOWMILK™. It’s illegal in Summerset Isles—and that’s how you know it works!

How do I get a permanent Spider Daedra wife?

Ever signed a binding pact with a Daedric Prince because a guard tricked you? I have. Twice.
So I enchanted the NULLPEN™, dipped in anti-oath ichor and bound in reverse Daedric contract glyphs.

IIRC it came a month or so after enough time that a few of the smaller ones came out before Kot9
