  thats great

  the reboot is still probably most fans entry point to the franchise and frame of reference for discussing it, especially during a discussion about Bethesda

  that is not any kind of dig at the older games, the quality of them is entirely irrelevant to the point i was making

  you dont need to come to the defense of them, especially by taking digs at the newer games that i also do not care about

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Quietly Removes Denuvo DRM from Ghostwire: Tokyo⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the difference is that discussions about robocop are exclusively about the original

  if youre convinced the wolfenstein and doom reboots have the same impact and relevance as robocop (2014) youre entirely allowed to stay that way, im not gonna try and shake you out of it

  I mean, if someone says “Doom and Wolfenstein” without specifying “Doom Eternal” and “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW), I’m thinking of Id.

  that makes sense, especially since Doom eternal is in fact still developed by id

  Wolfenstein and Doom have both reached significantly more people since they got adopted by zenimax though, so most folks who actually played the games will have probably gotten introduced to them as Bethesda published games

  “Wolfenstein: Youngblood” (which I had to look up, BTW),

  lol ok

  Dude! The original ones were cultural touchstones in a market that wasn’t yet oversaturated. They literally invented and defined the whole genre!

  the original ones were undoubtedly MUCH more popular in their time.

  i mean sure, but that also doesnt matter to the point i was making

  More people might be playing the new ones NOW

  which is why most folks are probably not talking about the old games when they say they like wolfenstein and doom

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Quietly Removes Denuvo DRM from Ghostwire: Tokyo⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i assumed they were talking about the bethesda published reboots, what with them being significantly more popular than the earlier games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda Quietly Removes Denuvo DRM from Ghostwire: Tokyo⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  doom and Wolfenstein are published by bethesda

  as far as im aware, no one is legally compelled to perform an abortion

  thats practically the sole determinator

  hollywood and americas massive industry has effectively given it a chokehold on western culture, to the point where western culture practically just means ‘cultures that take their cue from the usa’

  Extremely disappointed, loved fallout and elder scrolls but sounds like im avoiding this studio indefinitely

  im actively hoping they do

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield, is it getting review bombed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  metacritics users score being as low compared to Steam’s user score, which actually requires having played the game iirc, is pretty telling

  they cant invalidate the feeling of being upset when something that used to be free (modding games) is no longer free

  modding games is still free, so your feeling of being upset wasnt valid in the first place

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield players pirate the DLSS mod after the developer locks it behind paywall⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  it’s like theyre making a non profit for the money, except the without the making a non profit part

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bethesda hired a Skyrim modder to create the "lighting and clutter" in Starfield⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  hiring modders, which is what folks have been telling bethesda to do since skyrim, is bad and lazy actually

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  this was more a result of them biting off more than they can chew than an actual lack of skill

  obsidian seemed like it had a hard time letting go of grand plans even when they proved to be unworkable

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  i mean it explicitly was the deal they made with bethesda, they both agreed to a deadline

  the lack of focus on actual bug fixes and the overconfidence with how much content they could realistically finish in those 18 months was still absolutely on obsidian

  They did not treat us badly at all - even the Metacritic thing was something they added, not threatened us with… and if we’d been better with fixing bugs, we could have hit the score needed to prevent layoffs, but nope - FNV when it was released had a LOT of bugs.

  Unfortunately, the other interpretation made for a better story… but even Obsidian’s CEO clarified it. That said, FNV needed to be downscoped, and production should have ended and testing begun at least 2 months earlier than it was.

  Bethesda’s engine was the easiest to create content for, by far. Source control was easy, iterations were fast, the scripting language was pretty powerful – just easy to work in. Not necessarily easy to change, but if you wanted to do what we did on F:NV, which was make a bunch of new content and new features for the F3 engine, it was great.
