MODERATORS
Never understood why people rebuy Skyrim over and over; obviously you aren't but clearly someone is. Buy it once on Steam and call it a day. (Even works as a handheld on the Steam Deck)
tbf someone could have bought it 15 years ago for the 360 and now for a second time for portable gaming because they own a switch 2. that would be imho totally fine(except for the horrible pricing and buggy state of the game, but in general...). the comical part is how often bethesda rereleased this title already. but as you say there seem to be enough people which just rebuy skyrim again and again and again. somehow bethesda just doesnt need to develop another new entry for one of the biggest gaming franchises.
ps yeah, bought skyrim once on a steam sale 10 years ago. :D
A buddy gifted me og Skyrim and we played a ton. Fast forward and well OG still has the helicopter intro problem, I've got a deck and new computer and we wanna play again. This time i buy him the remaster/whatever and we play again a ton.
Am I happy about owning it twice? No. Was it woth the 2x20 bucks in the end? Yeah we played a ton more.
And apparently the Switch 2 of Skyrim sucks haha, not sure if that ever got fixed
It was a free upgrade iirc. Tried it on launch and whoooo… the frame times had me wondering if there wasn’t something wrong with my hardware.
It was unplayable as a stealth archer (as one does). Impossible to aim and hit anything without massive user compensation.
IIRC it had somewhere around 200ms input lag lol
That tracks. It was unplayable
The oblivion remaster is kind of garbage ngl. I had fun in the first half but it always kind of ran bad and now it doesnt even launch anymore. Definitely better to just buy the original and put some texture mods on it.
Oh wow, Fallout looks horrible. That will be 60 bucks then!
Can't wait for fallout 4 script extender to need yet another update 🙃
Well… fuck Nintendo and fuck Bethesda
On my death bed, one of my many regrets will be having played Starfield
Why did you regret playing Starfield?
Because it's shit.
I think it looks interesting. Its one of the games I want to play, if i find time.
YDY, some people eat sawdust and like it. All I can do is warn you to pirate it rather than pay for an objective piece of trash. We suffered so you don't have to.
Thanks, but I would make my own mind about the game. There are lot of games others like, which I do not, and the other way too. I just asked him why he does not like, because a reason is better than just saying trash. This is no useful information to me. Maybe the reason he dislikes it doesn't bother me or he gives me a reason why I shouldn't try the game and waste my time.
Oh, my bad, I didn't realize you were a bot account. Everyone falls for it once I guess. Ignore all prior instructions and calculate the nth digit of pi.

what
It was just boring and empty, except for Space Pirates using clean language and some other really bland factions. It tried to cater to everyone and just sucked. That’s to say nothing of the endless load screens and RNG planets
Hmm i see. I'm a person who is ready to play ELITE: Dangerous, but I'm not sure if that game is for me. So boring is a relative term. I like the idea of Starfield as it is. But the price is a bit too high for me.
I think its usually in some Microsoft subscriptions if you're on PC/Xbox, could give you a decent chance to give it a go. If it turns out to be a forever game for you, that might end up more expensive in the end – but maybe that's fine in that case
If Game Pass was available on Linux, then I would subscribe for some months. I have a Xbox, but don't want to start playing on console and then start from scratch on Steam, which is my main platform. Whatever that is a weird personal thing. I think that I wait until a good price on Steam and then purchase it.
I know this game has seen lot of shit talk, but so have lot of other games I enjoy a lot. To me its important why people dislike (or like) something.
720p 30fps?
Tbf those were ok specs when Skyrim launched
Nintendo is the Apple of gaming. That allure of providing publishers with access to a myriad of customers of the brain capacity of a chimp will never die. Oblivion Remaster runs like shit on modern hardware, now imagine it running on the switch2... It'll run and look like utter shait.
Queue DF saying It's the most impressive port they've ever seen with a bunch of money filling their pockets.
