Modern Bethesda and making good games, what a joke.

I mean, even if TES:6 is good it wont meet expectations because expectations are so wildly high.

My expectations are just be as good as skyrim. I still go and explore skyrim and find new fun things i had never seen before. It's the best i can ask for.

[-] RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 month ago

Maybe it'll be as good. I would strongly recommend waiting for reviews in 2032 when it finally launches.

Skyrim launched 11.11.11

Expect ES6 on ~~2.2.22~~ oh wait, missed that one, 3.3.33

They're definitely not going to go back to any of the better earlier games before Skyrim.

[-] Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Idk i never played the other games. I've heard many times that they are better. I play skyrim in VR only. I might look for mods to play the earlier games in VR as well.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

I'd love to play VR. Someday

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

You can probably get a used Quest 2 for a good price. It's definitely capable enough to get a feel for VR, and whether or not you should invest more in a better setup.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

Yeah I know. Unfortunately new toys like new hardware isn't in my current future. Someday though.

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 4 points 1 month ago

Really after the mess that was their space game?

[-] arefx@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 month ago

Don't forget fall out 76

[-] imPastaSyndrome@lemm.ee 1 points 1 month ago

I already did. And will again. Mostly because it's not worth remembering. Not because I'll ever trust Bethesda

There is no modern Bethesda. They are still making games based on 15 year old standards, with an engine a lot older and technically more debted than that.

It's kinda like trying to make Edward Scissorhands a brain surgeon by adding a few more rubberbands between the blades.

If only. Daggerfall was great for its time, Morrowind was and still remains a classic masterpiece.

The enshittification started with Oblivion, and only got worse from there.
