why did the oblivion remake have 0 cultural staying power?
>>724171448I’m as big of an Oblivion fan as you can be, and I didn’t even bother with the remake. They ruined it completely by butchering the art style.
Its a demake. And GOTD released ontop of it
>>724171448Because every it did was already done by mods, and then it made every other mod made redundant. This is why NV shouldn't be remastered either. And sorry, but I don't care about consoleniggers.
>>724171448it's the same game but better graphics and sprintinggyattdammit they could have like restored some cut content and shit
Cyrodiil isn't an interesting setting like Skyrim was.
>>724171448It is good but only as good as Oblivion was in 2006. So unless you just really love spell crafting, there is no reason to play it. Everything it did, Skyrim did better. Maybe if the modding scene for REblivion really kicks off and surpasses Skyrim, if that is even possible, it might be worth playing.
>>724171448the cultural staying power remains with the original, the remaster doesnt need it
>>724171448Jeet slop
>>724171448I completely forgot oblivion got a remaster
because it runs like ass
>>724171448Anon with the really real answer here.I'll only give it if you pinky promise that you're not asking in bad faith. *holds out pinky while slightly blushing and turning head away* do you pwomise??

>>724171448>cultural staying powerToys shouldn't define your culture
>>724171849Skyrim was worse in every way. Less weapon variety, less spells, no acrobatics, no athletics, shit boring quests, ruined Dark Brotherhood, ruined Thieves Guild, no Fighter’s Guild, -10/10 Mages Guild, generic grey/brown/blue for 95% of the world, fight a dragon every 5 minutes, fight a Dragur every 5 seconds. Total shit. Not even an RPG, one of the worst skills trees I’ve ever had the displeasure of engaging with.
>>724171739only because Todd made it more boring than how it was described during the events of Morrowind and earlier games, due to the success of the LotR films
>>724171448It doesn't even feel like the same freaking game. This doesn't even feel like a Bethesda game aside from the jank and awkwardness. Oblivion is supposed to look like an oil painting, this looks hyperrealistic like Kingdom Come.
>>724172293the thieves guild just being some londoner pricks with a hard bottle o wo'a accent was the worst by far
>>724172293>Total shit. Not even an RPG, one of the worst skills trees I’ve ever had the displeasure of engaging with.This is how i play Skyrim and how i always played it.>install a mod list that turns it into a survival game>maybe even a couple rape mods>no fast travel>just a merc and not the dragonbitch>either disable dragon spawns or never pick up the tablet>roam around murder hobo but actually have a home>always play sneak thief, archer, sword/board or two hander in heavy armor>never touch magic not even fucking once>just wander around and get into shit for about 100 hours>eventually get bored and quit for a couple yearsCan't remember the last time i finished any faction questline.
>>724171448Remake of a shit game is a shit game
>>724171448Because it was a fucking remake. What did you expect? Armies of zoomers rushing to it because they liked Skyrim, but couldn't deal with previous games because MUH GRAFFIX? Only a small minority do that, the others won't touch it because it's an old game in general. The people who actually care will just play the original.
>skyrim remastered... home ... right?
>>724172370What was Cyrodiil like in Morrowind?
>>724171448Because the only thing it has going for it is new graphics and slight adjustments to leveling. It's basically the same game we all played already, and that's not enough to justify it's existence or make people stick with it over the original
>>724171448Same reason all remakes* have zero cultural staying power, they're just mildly worse and less interesting than the original.*excluding the thing, the blob, REmake, blah blah shut up
>>724171448Because everyone who is interested in Oblivion has already played it extensively, and people who decided to give it a try won't like a game from 20 years ago with a paintjob over it.
It's literally the same game with a worse coat of paint, and needless changes. That'll be $60 please.Lol. Lmao even.
>>724171448It's funny because it quite literally got a single day of hype
>>724171448Oblivion already changed the video game landscape forever, you wouldn't have Dark Souls if it weren't for Oblivion.
Cultural staying power is a non word. Relevance suffices.
>>724172293"muh not a real RPG" - GOOD. take your spreadsheet autism elsewhere, skyrim is a real game for real people
>>724171448you can hack warcraft/shop -buy *3 #nigger
>>724171598tastelet or poser. the horrific graphics/artstyle of the original are a sore point for real fans because we can't defend it.
It's a remake
>>724171739barely committed gay viking setting vs pure medieval fantasy. you have shit taste
>>724173474modlist?
>>724171598>by butchering the art style.looks good to me
>>724171448Because it's a one to one remake of a game that's been out for like 20 years? Everyone has already played Oblivion who wanted to play Oblivion
>>724174410
>>724174410yes it looked great. piss babies who cry about remasters lose their credibility when they can't admit to a positive example
>>724174524
>>724174535Everything's a positive example to you.
>runs like ass, system requirements in the stratosphere>broke all mods>adds nothing new of substance, nor does it reimplement any cut content>the visuals are divisive at best, sure the characters look less potato but everything is washed out and brown instead of bright and saturated now>the game wasn't even that good to begin with and mostly maintained in peoples' minds by Xbox 360 nostalgiafaggotry from kidsThe Fallout 3 remaster is going to be even worse in regards to the last point. Nobody who has actually touched that game since like 5 years after it came out has enjoyed it in earnest, all of the love Fallout 3 had at the time was hype and Xbox 360 children playing their first ever RPG when they were 11 years old.
>>724174524>>724174603transaction inside of warcraft server:ip1 ***ip2 ***pass1 ***pass2 ***order 1234
>>724173472Thieves guild was truly awful, starts off great, breaking into places, and then by the end of it you're dealing with daedric guild drama.
>>724171448Problem with Bethesda is that they don't make their games realistic enough
monkeys won't play the faithful remakes but instead will seethe about shit like ff7 rebirth not being as samey and boring as mgs delta and oblivionthe colour grading of oblivion can be fixed to look like the original
>>724174847the fighters guild was also shit. Doing some mmorpg quests for a few hours and than kill some tree licking drug addicts.Mage guild was... okay compared to thieves and fighters. Only the dark brotherhood was awesome and the best what TES has to offer. Overall the Skyrim guilds were better.
>>724171448Because the game is garbage.
>>724174410looks kinda generic
>>724175170this was Oblivion in 2006 without mods.
>>724174635>all of the love Fallout 3 had at the time was hype and Xbox 360 children playing their first ever RPG when they were 11 years old.I was already in my 30s
>>724171448It "fixed" things that didn't matter when they could have spent that time fixing serious bugs instead. Look at this: https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivionremastered/mods/4978>>724171727Not entirely. Sexuality was removed, not just the genders where it was possible, and the removal of stamina from the damage calculation by itself already destroyed builds like hand-to-hand, but they went a step further and removed the finishers it had, also removing the ability to drain all of an enemy's stamina, forcing you to tack on absorption spells. That's effectively worse than Morrowind despite it not damaging health until the enemy's stamina is gone there.
>Morrowind releasesFUCKING SHIT GAME>Oblivion releasesMAN MORROWIND WAS AWESOME (not gonna replay it though) THIS SHIT IS AWFUL>Skyrim releasesMAN OBLIVION WAS AWESOME (not gonna replay it though) THIS IS AWFUL
>>724175496>>Morrowind releases>FUCKING SHIT GAMEnot true>>Oblivion releases>MAN MORROWIND WAS AWESOME (not gonna replay it though) THIS SHIT IS AWFULtrue>>Skyrim releases>MAN OBLIVION WAS AWESOME (not gonna replay it though) THIS IS AWFULnot true
>>724175008Problem with mage guild was they built up those giga mages and then did fuck all else with them in the entire game, as far as I know we didn't find out anything else about them until ESO and I'm not sure if thats even canon.Fighters guild was meh, nothing good and nothing bad, only upside is you get the werewolf, but it gets destroyed by the vampire lord when you do the DLC.Dark brotherhood was a bunch of mentally ill people but they are murderers so goes hand in hand, still when I play through Skyrim I save this guild for last just because I like it.
>>724171448Because it's just Oblivion again but with a filter over it.And Oblivion wasn't even good back when it came out.
>>724175540No, I'm right and you're wrong.
Did they make melee combat viable? AFAIK anything that isn't magic or magic onhit effects hits like a wet noodle compared to even Morrowind
>>724174301You are incredibly out of line and disrespectful towards skyrim. It's one of a kind.
>>724171448Middle child syndrome.Not classic enough like Morrowind and not modern enough like Skyrim
>>724175779Magic is still OP. Especially Charm and Opening Locks.
>>724175779>>724175945The ability to create spells really ruined all other play styles thats not magic, or stealth archer.
>>724176071>I made a 100% charm that last 1 sec>cast it>talk right after that with the NPC>he loves me for the whole conversation>profit
>>724171448The market is geared towards zoomies. Anything slower than the most chaotic titan fall 2 match is too slow.
>>724175496Morrowind was released right after Daggerfall/Battlespire, which had identical mechanics, just with more useless skills, so this can't be true.
>>724173813south east asian jungles, rice paddies and mangrove swamps. the imperial city was supposed to be fucking massive, much larger than vivec, and it was supposed to have venice-like canals teaming with of gondolas. also there were supposed to be lots of imperial dragons flying around the city.however it's not like oblivion retconned this completely, just relegated it to "outdated information", as tiber septim was the one who CHIM'd the jungles away and turned them into temperate european forests. the ayleids, st. alessia, pelinal and morihaus, the akaviri potentate, reman cyrodiil... all those things were happening while cyrodiil was canonically still a jungle. so if you pictured pelinal roaming around in a european forest, you were wrong.
>>724172293>Skyrim was worse in every way.Except it was actually fucking playable. Gutting the RPG elements doesn't make it worse than Oblivion when Oblivion's RPG elements literally harmed the game because of fucking level scaling.
>>724176232>Morrowind was released right after DaggerfallDaggerfall was released in 1996. Morrowind was released in 2002.
>>724174635>disabled lumen>set GI to low>download mod to restore original tint and bloomIt's going to take me an hour or so to download this but if the thread is still alive I'll post some pics. Or you can just go look at the old tint 'n' bloom mod page I guess.
>>724176302Skyrim had level scaling too, retard. And many of its decisions like punishing you with endless dragons just because you dared to play the story are worse than anything Oblivion did, because now you can’t even interact with the NPCs once they start running in circles whenever a dragon shows up.
>>724171448UE5 slopit's better to just play the original since it runs 100x better
>>724171448It was a cash grab. The OG game runs better and takes up less space on your computer than the sloppy, resource hog Unreal engine demake game. The remake also lacks proper mod support, so it's worthless. The only thing the remake does better than the OG game is the level up system.
>>724171448Most people couldn't run itEven if you could run it, the art style made everything look dull and genericLastly, even if you could run it and liked or didn't mind the art style, it's still just Oblivion. Oblivion had a shitton of issues that weren't actually resolved in this remake, most notably the enemy level scaling, quest reward scaling, loot scaling, etc. All they did was change leveling up so that you gain the same amount of attribute points regardless of your skill increases and let you freely distribute them wherever. They didn't fix many of the fundamental issues in the game. If anything it just shows Oblivion is carried hard by nostalgia and modding
>>724176561Cities still look good but the LODs looked awful then and even more awful now. Running around the countryside looks like shit.
>>724171448
>>724175929This.
>>724171448Because any remake draws it's fleeting attraction from the original classic. It's not a new proper thing in it's own right, and depends entirely on people caring about the original release. It's like reheating last night's pasta or eating bread baked yesterday, it's just not gonna be as good as fresh.
>>724171448Modding is very important to Oblivion and I would argue that its one of the main reason it survive until Fallout 3 got release. Modding with UE is ass compare to the simple drop and forget from Oblivion.
>>724171448>remakeProbably because you're too fucking stupid to know what a remake is, and there was no Oblivion remake.
>>724171598>I never played it, but based on what I saw on /v/ the remake was terribleYou’re so fucking stupid you don’t realize how stupid you are.
>>724174535You’re replying to poor third worlders and children who can’t play the remaster at all. Don’t take them seriously, they never even played the game and yet they still post here.
Because it's a game from 2006? An uglified, DEI re-release nearly two decades on with no modability isn't going to interest anyone.
>>724178540No it genuinely looks bleak compared to the original. If you fix the anti-SOVL gas and restore the colour pallete of the original it looks pretty good. But...>>724178541No modding kills it.
>>724174410It doesnt look like Oblivion, whats so hard to understand about this.
>>724171448because it was literally the meme
>>724172151PC players are so poor lol
>Play Oblivion>Using basic shit forever>Can't afford any cooler spells because of skill restriction and magicka costs>Can't afford better gear and NPCs drop garbage>Get obliterated by any enemy more exotic than bandit-in-iron-armor>Hit some random level threshold>Piss easy bandits dropping thousands upon thousands of gold in mid-end game gear I can sell or use>Skip the entire progression curve to just using nearly the best equipment>Money in the span of 2 hours IGT went from pauper roleplay to "I can't spend this fast enough"This is the game people suck off? This is awful as a roleplaying game.
>>724171448Its just Oblivion on Unreal. The same game.
>>724171448Oblivion is a joke and is only ever talked about because of memes about how comically bad it is. The remaster is just AI upscaled textures and ugly lighting that shits all over the original artistic vision, yes the potato faces are bad but everything else was fine. I won't even talk about UE5 and how shit it is because I think everyone understands by now.
