Why did Oblivion flop?
Oblivion Remastered
I've already played oblivion 3 times long ago.
needs more sex mods
All the extra reading it has filters people. Also alchemy sucks because of all the doo-dads you have to collect. And the difficulty scaling is tarded.
count how many times skyrim has been rereleased
This, unironically. I play TES games for the brutal hardcore survival mode with copious battle rape and prostitution. Still waiting for Oblivion to catch up with those mods.
Mods are what keep Bethesda games alive. Gamers will eventually return.
People beat Oblivion Remaster.
People then started playing either Morrowind or Skyrim.
I know I even went back and started playing Morrowind and Skyrim, and a lot of my friends started doing the same.
People want a new Elder Scrolls game, why is this shocking?
I only have 10 fingers!
Everyone got reminded that Oblivion plays like ass.
because they didn't fix goblin wars
in fact they made it worse
/thread
skyrim has prettier girls
The level scaling in Oblivion remains the worst in any game ever made
Why is this news worthy?
No cute armor for girls. Every armor set is trannyized.
youtu.be
I’ve reached a point where all enemies are replaced with storm atronarchs and those crocodiles. Does it get worse?
I loved Elder Scrolls when I was younger but I don't know how the fuck I can go back to it after playing Elden Ring.
It's the armor sets for me. You just need maybe cathedral armors or book of silence and you're good to go. Outside of some really wonky designs, skyrim's armor sets generally feel at home in skyrim's rugged setting and looks even better with enb or community shaders.
Meanwhile Oblivion, especially the remaster, feels like everyone is wearing armor that's too big for their bodies. Not to mention clown shoes for some reason.
people have shit PCs and can't run it
multiple reasons
its a remaster, some people do not care to pay full price for something like that
no mods, its a bethesda game, everyone knows that it is a platform for mods at this point
cant run it, people sorely understate how 90% of "pc gamers" are running a PC that can only run modern games at 20 FPS
I myself stopped playing it, bethesda games without mods feels like when you play a game that is missing the 90 expansions it has.Id like this to be the main platform for modding but skyrim has the benefit of being old, so it runs on more systems, and is far easier to mod exactly because the graphics are kindof shitty.
Single Player game
80% of the playerbase leaves within a month
Why does this make the news every single time? Of course that happens. They played the game and moved on. That's what people do with single player games.
so how come people havent moved on from Skyrim?
They bought the nostalgia experience and played around for few hours. Instead of booting up the old game. Dunno why.
I played Oblivion for like 500 hours back when I was in college
Didn't need to play it again with a new coat of paint on it
Old game is ugly
Mods. You'll notice this with many games. Games that have a thriving community, like stardew valley or cyberpunk 2077, will NEVER lose players because they keep getting and making new content for it, probably forever.
Likewise for fallout 4. I have played this shit for over a decade and no two playthroughs end up remotely the same because of the hundreds of mod combinations I use every time.
Meanwhile Oblivion just came out and doesn't have the extensive mod library that Skyrim has built in over a decade and most people won't years for it to get traction. They'll just keep playing skyrim
no mods
the remaster literally has over two thousand mods at this point
Skyrim is superior to Oblivion in every way
half of those are just presets, there's maybe 3 good mods: NBO, Racemenu utlitilies and that one kinda mediocre animation replacer, but is all we've got so far.
oblivion fans are too boomer to care about graphics
skyrim fans are too zoomer to not have nude mods and easy gameplay
It's still not the same. It's just like using someone else's modlist collection. The best part about modding is customizing the game to your liking.
That said, does Oblvion remaster have a script extender now? I might try it in the future if the modding scene pops off.
SKYRIM HAS ME PICK MALE OR FEMALE
GET THIS TYPE AB SHIT OUT OF MY FUCKING VIDEO GAMES I WON'T BUY WOKE GARBAGE
Skyrim has a gender slider akshully.
What people are waiting for is overhauls and things added to the game, the mods right now is mostly just utilities, like "better race menu" or "rebalancing difficulty.
Ill come back when there is some substantive mods that do stuff like add more armours, fix the scaling/remove it and have a few survival mechanics
People these days are too dumb and impatient to enjoy an actual RPG, see:
All the extra reading it has filters people. Also alchemy sucks because of all the doo-dads you have to collect.
The good news is that if retards are being frightened off by Oblivion, they'll be horrified by Morrowind and we won't have to deal with retarded zoomer dudebros making it impossible to discuss.
I just want armor that is more faithful to the OG, but with better fitting. I really don't like how wonky the character skeletons/models look right now. The improved graphics detract from how everyone is still using the same old 2006 skeletons so npcs moving about feels uncanny valley as hell.
that's basically it except for the blue half-giants with big blue cocks
Did you ever think oblivion has atrocious gameplay and literally nothing fun to do in it? You have to be retarded to get enjoyment out of it.
skyrim (PC, 360, PS3)
skyrim legendary edition (PC, 360, PS3)
skyrim special edition (PC, PS4, One, Switch)
Skyrim VR (PC, PS4)
Skyrim anniversary (PC)
Honestly not that much
retard
game that's been out for 10+ years with multiple re-releases and steam sales
vs
newly released game, albeit remake, where the price is >$80aud
most people are not going to drop a fuckton of coin straight away for a remake
websites have a summary so you don't have to read the entire article
if they don't, they indicate the average time to read it so you you can close the tab if you consider it too long
Humanity is in a patience-crisis and no one seems to care.
adds literally nothing new
UE5 assets slapped on to a 20 year old game
errmm... why did it drop 80%+?!
At the end of the day it's still just Oblivion. One good faction quest surrounded by a bunch of meh.
It really is obnoxious. Like even though all the games have level scaling implemented in some way, Oblivion being married to the concept just fucks everything.
Do I do this quest now
If it has a level scaled reward you're getting the shittiest version of it
Do I level even non-combat skills
If you want to keep the difficulty reasonable you do those last
Do I level up
If you want all the enemies replaced with less enemy variety and you don't want to watch break points
Like the only substantial thing the remake fixes about this is that your attribute levels aren't tied to what skills you level so you don't cuck yourself because of how inflated health and damage values are for enemies.
Even then they fucked up 2handed weapons (which are already weak in vanilla oblivion) by reducing their dps with slow animations, removing their reach, and keeping their damage the same.
I can see why people say Oblivion is the worst playing ES game.
I played it 20 years ago.
Don't want to sully that memory.
I dont even so much mind that as I do that there is shockingly little armour variety in the game, and with how scaling works, bandits are wearing ornate dwemer armours, and the town rat catcher how talks about how he has no money is wearing full golden elven armour if you do the quest at a higher level. This stuff is just dumb, make variants of all the armours so they are more appropriate.
The animations could use some tweaking too as you said, skyrim has gone over the top with this sort of stuff, I dont see why Oblivion modding wont be the same, itll just take time.
Isn't UE5 harder to mod than Skyrim's engine?
because it's oblivion
Why has there been no patches?
Because Skyrim is better
Sure the questlines are more fun in Oblivion but Skyrim is the ultimate go wherever you want type of game
flop
The Remaster was made by a tiny team and they sold a few million copies. This is far from a flop.
this but unironically
I'm not playing unless there's sex mods (for immersion, of course)
Exactly this. I'm holding out for the good stuff too—actual content, not just reshades and UI ports. Once we get proper armor variety, some decent rework of the world scaling (seriously tired of goblins in daedric armor), and survival mechanics that aren’t just hunger meters tied to a damage debuff, THEN it'll be worth sinking time into. Right now it just feels like a glorified tech demo with prettier lighting. We’ve seen what the community did for Skyrim—this’ll get there too, just needs time and a CK that isn’t locked behind 500 corporate hoops.
everyone has already played through it and major mods still can't be ported until people figure out how to get visual mods made since that involves getting .bsas into .paks for UE5. I know I played through it and now I'm going through Skyrim. Might boot up Morrowind for the first time, but my only memory is fucking around on the Xbox version and not understanding what was happening.
ontop of getting anything you make for UE5's assets to talk to the underlying Gamebryo code running everything else
Runs like absolute shit and visually looks like they hired "that man" to make the graphics.
Meanwhile Skyrim runs well, has boatload of mods, and looks nice enough even if you don't mod the visuals.
Yes, there's 2, OBSE and one for the unreal engine side of things
'news' article
reporting on steamcharts
Zoomers are the ones modding Morrowind now, the boomers got bored of playing the same game for 20 years
Oblivion will never be as well regarded as Morrowind or Skyrim because it's just not as good as either. Oblivion does have pretty good quests but the world isn't very fun to explore due to most of the map being the same biome and the lackluster dungeons.
Oblivion Remastered has been a delight as a boomer who decided not to play Oblivion because I thought all Fantasy was gay at the time it released
Does ESO have Cyrodiil map and if so is it better than the one in Oblivion?
It's a pvp zone
The original is way better when modded with all the fixes which is easy nowadays since it's just drag and dropping a mod pack and a load order file.
How do you even fit sex mods into your load order? I installed LotD with a lot of mods adding displays to it and I'm already at F7 amount of esps.
Merge the patches
Plus I think most people who play with gooner mods only install a few, a lot of them are script heavy so having tons is a bad idea
Honestly it's not worth the trouble I just get no bitches and I think dark elves are sexy
ESO
I keep forgetting that game exists
I'll buy it when it's 5 dollars
I played Oblivion in 2006
really crappy performance. i can't turn on hardware lumen because cpu bottleneck
Our game isn't coded badly it's just that a 5090 is shit
No pajeet.
yes, sequels are supposed to be like that - Morrowind crawled, so Oblivion can walk, so Skyrim can run. TES6 better bee flying.
On topic: fake news; game has a solid player base, but they've already beaten it & there's no new quests modded in. New models neither, just the perfect NBO + Threads of Debauchery. For me that's enough, but won't keep me interested after I beat the main story & major side quests. The quality of life mods are brilliant, but again - this is a 20yo game remastered, not the second coming of Jesus.
Remaster 'New Vegas', 'The Suffering' or 'Manhunt' - then we'll talk about groundbreaking events.
Morrowind is better than Oblivion and equal to Skyrim
there's PvE content, but the entire province that's depicted is open PvP.
This, I bought it on day one and was excited but the performance is too crap.
nobody except faggot zoomers could ever say skyrim is good
New Vegas will never happen, Todd hates that game. Unless they're going all in and remastering it alongside FO3 and doing their own Tale of Two Wastelands.
highly subjective, as any other pov
true - Skyrim is actually great for a 15yo game
normies always tried to play oblivion but were filtered because it's shit
remake comes out
OHHH I'LL FINALLY PLAY LE HECKIN MAINSTREAM CLASSIC
it's still oblivion
therefore it's still shit
normies drop it once again
lmao, that's what following the hype gets you, retards
grim
that'd require levels of based Bethesda simply doesn't have ;dd one can hope tho ... anyway, why are they remastering FO3? New Vegas is vastly superior, even if a bit controversial (still not sure why)
Skyrim has all the mods so its surprise people are still playing it.
it's still relatively popular Bethesda game from the same era of Oblivion and the engine changes are extremely minimal. Granted a remaster of FO3 will take slightly more effort than Oblivion due to the asset types and *hopefully* a change to combat to feel better. At the very least like unmodded NV. When people called FO3 "Oblivion with guns" they were too far off on a technical level. Firearms without fixing the combat feel like modded archery.
As some one who beat oblivion's the main quest I can get why people get filtered.
there will be no sex mods
the bar to mod is too high coz its unreal engine
Patches are already .esl
I'm talking about fat esps
