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
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.

Thank that fucking mouse
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.
Bethesta is gone, no point in expecting anything from them anymore.
Mentally prepared for Elder Scrolls VI being a huge disappointment 😔
Online connection required. Bethesda hosted mods only. Those would be my deal-breakers.
Time for Betterthesda
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.
Ooh, looks exciting! Thanks!
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 🤣
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 nerding* 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.
Let go. It’ll be quick and painless.
Indie gamedev is where it’s at.
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.
I don’t even mind some of the bugs, I’m just mad at “oh go grab an identical vase to that last one but from someone else’s house…congrats now you’re the leader of the thieves’ guild haha.” Gone are the days of going through someone’s crawlspace to loosen a few bolts and drop a giant stuffed moose head on them, and why the fuck did y’all change wabbajack?!
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
Aren’t a significant percentage of the COD devs all ex Raven Software employees? They were good ass developers. They just got purchased and sent to the mines.
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.
Need For Speed vibes, although Heat and Unbound is sorta decent in their own ways.
NFS Heat felt good. Just a good game.
Everything between Heat and the first Most Wanted (I think?) was trash, I looked at reviews and played demos and saw nothing but garbage and usually a frontend for a microtransaction model.
I’m one of those who didn’t buy Unbound because the theme ended up being a bit of a gimmick, they didn’t lean into it enough to make it cool, they held back and delivered something unexciting.
R.i.p. Halo. 1v1 on hang em high’s magic will never be recaptured
HL3.
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.
Surely the next Battlefield game will be good…
Shots dead sooo dead. Delta force might be worth
I played one of the alphas, the extraction mode is good, the battlefield like mode… eh, not really my cup of tea.
This is me waiting for the new Mafia installment
