As long as it still feels like TES and as long as it’s not even as hard as Elden Ring (which, as I hear, is supposedly the “easiest” FromSoft game but is still too challenging), I’m open to trying it. In general, I wish they’d just give us Skyrim’s combat with some tweaks; it’s the best combat in the series, in my opinion.
I’m not saying we need the dice roll system. I just don’t want a complicated time-based system that doesn’t feel grounded.
That’s because they’re classy and understand that the two are totally different projects. Skyblivion is impressive but that doesn’t even remotely mean that an official remaster/remake isn’t worth having.
The problem is the style, not just the difficulty. I don’t like the whole timed parry system. It’s alright if it’s akin to Witcher 3 where the blocks are timed but not impossibly so, and where you’re given other means of fighting than parry-strike-repeat… Even then though, as much as I love that game, I like TES combat. Its simplicity makes it grounded and its feel is still somewhat rooted in the dungeon crawlers that made TES what it is.
I’ll never understand the hate, it feels to me like the hate comes from outsiders who weren’t long-term fans and what the series to be what it’s not.
EverQuest Next. That game would have been the best MMO ever, if they would’ve stuck with it. Unfortunately, SOE got bought out and the new owners were whackos who didn’t care. It’s sad because nothing has come close since then. Only GW2 and ESO have even a fraction of the concepts of EQN.
TES combat may be plain but I’d take a grounded and easy to grasp combat system over hair-tearing frustration. There’s a reason I don’t buy soulslikes. I like to enjoy and unwind with video games, not torture myself until I ‘git gud’. Soulslike combat will utterly ruin this remake for me.
Hardly comparable. The bag wasn’t the centerpiece, it was barely even advertised in the first place… and people whined because an ancillary feature of a much larger package wasn’t the material they wanted. That seems awfully pathetic and vain to me.
Try Stellaris. It’s similar gameplay, but it’s realtime and the space battles you can get yourself into can be truly epic.
That whole canvas bag thing was a load of crap. “Ouh, my bag wasn’t in the material I wanted it to be in. I’m gonna throw a tantrum and sue the company.”
I’m very excited for this project, but what concerns me are the lack of color in those screenshots and the rumor that it’s gonna have soulslike combat. I do not want soulslike combat. We don’t need soulslike combat in every freaking game.
You really do, you just don’t want to admit it. It’s okay, you don’t have to be angry at God. Just let go.
Delusion isn’t a good look!
With the exception of chat, try Old School RuneScape. Good game for passive gameplay as well as more intensive/focused gameplay.
I’d say a reasonable amount of this is due to how many of them shove their own ideologies into their reporting, with not even a slight attempt to remain objective or neutral.
Not in every game. Some games make it reasonably fair, such as Elder Scrolls Online which makes it possible to obtain the lootbox items in other ways.
And this is exactly why Ubisoft is dying. Good riddance.
No, if anything, we need to boycott games with battle passes. I’m not a fan of lootboxes but I’d take them any day over a battle pass. Don’t pressure me to play specific ways, don’t exploit FOMO to try to get me to grind or spend money. I find that a LOT more predatory than lootboxes, at least in games where they’re optional.
What reversal? It’s still in play. The idea is to use them to force other nations to play fair with us.
Ah, didn’t know that it’s on Steam. Well, there’s that at least. Still not a fan of console exclusivity either way, though.
I love Steam but I’ve always felt like the refund policy was a bit of a joke. I feel like the time limit should be flexible, being a bit longer for games that have long tutorials or a bunch of intro cutscenes.
