Here's an idea: Don't spend 10+ years making one sequel.

>>730738692
>wanting something to be good is mean

>>730738692
Isn't this something positive? That the audience thinks you can make a proper game and have high expectations?

>everyone wants Skyrim 2 but with a bit more polished graphics
>OH NO NO HOW CAN WE EVER DELIVER THE PRESSURE IS TOO MUCH IT CAN NEVER WORK WE NEED 20 MORE YEARS FOR THIS

Why is Nate a boy's name but Kate a girl's name?

>Nate Purkeypile
>Purkeypile
what the fuck is that name and am I supposed to believe this person existed

>oooh, oof, it's the fans that are pressuring us
yeah i bet. it's the fans that expect you to make a hundred billion dollars. not the people you took money from and promised a hundred billion dollars.
it's the fans that expect both a good story but no racism, sexism, exclusion, or anything else that could be triggering to be in it. Not the retard media. It's the fans that want you to hire a black woman for every white man you hire, not the government.
by all means, blame your fucking customers that you have it hard as a big company that wanted growth, growth, growth.

>>730738692
Skyrim is so basic anyway, just make that again and people will suck their dick for the next 20 years

i'm not buying TES 6 or GTA 6. they sat and rode the easy money with their last entry and now they expect to make supreme ultra ga-ga WOW money now that they feel they're putting in effort again. well it's been too long with too much bullshit in between and I get my kicks elsewhere. good luck convincing zoomers and alphas to buy your new $110 game because it's in a series that mom and dad played 15 fucking years ago

>>730738692
He's not wrong, people are violently retarded and prone to autistic melties.

>good luck convincing zoomers and alphas to buy your new $110 game because it's in a series that mom and dad played 15 fucking years ago
we're already getting the 'zoomers are killing the industry' articles and neither game has a set release date yet. if either or both flop it's going to be 100% blamed on the younger generation for not just blindly buying based on the IP's past success

Elden Ring was a smash hit and not a year later we all moved on. There is such a thing as too much hype, literally no game can meet the expectations.

>>730740097
they made Skyrim 2 In Space and they were rightfully blasted. fact is that the industry has moved on. Gamebryo jank is no longer acceptable

>>730740296
yeah i'm detailing my reasons, not just clicking 'join group' for clout or because a bunch of people in my gamefaqs board told me to, but great work dredging this relic to 'prove me wrong' or whatever.
You couldn't even get the combo image with both MW2 and L4D2's boycott groups doing this, either? lame.

>>730740358
except 'skyrim in space' had more load screens and timewasting than skyrim could have ever imagined.

>>730740296
>actually you are going to buy those games, because the world is full of soulless goldfishbrained hypocrites
I'm not buying either game, i won't even use up the space they'll take with pirating them. it wasn't worth pirating starfield and it won't be worth pirating TES6

>>730738692
they had 10+ years to make and polish the game and so far the only thing they have to show is stupid decisions, the "pressure" and hate is deserved

It's okay Bethesda. I for one have no expectations of you anymore.

That's because we realised it's actually pretty trash.

>>730738692
I expect Bethesda to fuck it up, exactly like how they fucked up Sarrfield.
They've proven time and time again they don't give a shit about any of their series lore anymore (see Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Fallout TV show ruining New Vegas' highly regarded setting and lore)
They gut the gameplay and RPG elements, are are afraid of doing anything abrasive creatively.

I WILL buy TES6 and it WILL be shit and I will NOT enjoy it and I WILL feel stupid.

>>730741091
god dammit, *and are

>>730738692
in my experience, that "pressure" you're feeling is shame and guilt from the knowledge that you're putting out garbage that no one will like

>>730738692
Their own fault for dropping the steaming turd that was Shartfield.

>>730741314
they also took a lot of investor money, paid a lot of people salaries with it, and promised to return it tenfold to the investors
"you owe me fourteen million dollars personally, so show me some fucking progress" probably imparts some pressure too

>>730739150
>>everyone wants Skyrim 2 but with a bit more polished graphics
No that's just what everyone expects because Bethesda can't make good combat, quests, etc

can't wait to see all the retards that buy this at release only for it to be a sea of issues that make the game unplayable

>wake up

>try to get things moving faster but since you're outsourcing to outsourcers, it takes 3 hours of phone calls to get a hold of a team working on your game

>marketing is asking for something to work with because they're catching shit for getting paid to do nothing
>call your journalist friend and vent about how gamers are pressuring you and it's their fault you announced the game
todd, todd, todd. you sad little man.

I resent Bethesda for creating nu-gaymers who spent a decade playing modded Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout games, dicking around with the cheat, sorry I mean "console" while they were "playing"

So now we cannot have games, we can only have modular experiences, if a game dares to be its own contained experience, a deluge of unwashed bethesda babies come to chime in on how THEY want the game to be. Like every game should have 10 000 mods to tweak every aspect you don't want to bother with, that is hard or is not similar to other sloppa.
God, how I despise plebs. They never shut the fuck up.

It was announced so early because they shat on everyone's good will with the launch of F76.

>>730741710
it's going to be like CP2077's launch but even worse
and years of shills claiming the 'engoodening' of the game is happening and you really should buy it now or you'll miss out

>>730741737
i, too, have hallucinated people i am angry at.
I usually don't make isolated, floating posts to nobody about it, though. maybe work on that.

>>730741739
i worked with a fallout fanboy that spent a month and a half telling me how it was fun and enjoyable despite all the problems he was having. it slowly became more about the problems and less about the fun. After his third or fourth time losing all his items and progress and everything, he ranted about how the game was trash and had virtually nothing going for it except trolling new players, which he could do in a hundred other, better games. And never spoke of it again.

If after 20+ years of dev time this looks worse than my modded skyrim im making fun of it

>>730739238
Nate is short for Nathan
Kate is short for Katherine

>>730742686
why is nathan a boys name and katherine a girls name

>>730740358
>Skyrim 2 In Space
They didn't
It was boring empty flat planet simulator
We want skyrim 2, aka a handcrafted map full of handcrafted thing, shouldn't be that hard

>>730738692
Just make Morrowind 2

>>730738692
They literally teased The Elder Scrolls 6 over
SEVEN
YEARS
AGO

And they have nothing to show for it yet
This means the entire teaser's purpose was to pump stocks & get investors.
This should some how be illegal, because it's borderline manipulative.

Any pressure (that they aknowledge) that they're getting is 100% from pissed off, scammed investors, not customers.
Unless Todd is a freemason, Bethesda is practically cooked

>>730738692
Didn't they announce it when they had potential buyers circling their piece of shit company?

>>730742820
It comes down to etymology, Nathan because a boy is Gift, and Katherine because if you get a daughter you hope she don't become a whore

>>730738692
Why do they keep putting out all these doom articles on TES6? Its like Bethesda knows its going to fail to deliver big time. Almost like they are trying to find a way to save face here since they know they aren't going to come close to delivering on expectations for this game.

>>730738692
this happens all the time. It took forever for a sequel to StarCraft to come out, didn't live up to their old fans expectations.
Diablo 3 took forever, didn't live up to old fans expectations.
You can probably think of a million other examples. This is something the game industry doesn't do well with. They wait wait too long more often than not.

>>730738692
>make game
>fans like thing X
>next game wont have thing X, we dont care about our fans, we are going for a new audience
>here is an NPC we put in the game as an easter egg to make fun of our old fans who wanted thing X
>w-w-wheres our customer goodwill?
this has been in the making for like 20 years and the ironic part is im over it, i dont care anymore and have already accepted im not bethesdas target market. Now its like everyone sees bethesda how i saw them 15 years ago but i just want skyrim 2 so i can attempt to make my mod overhaul for it.

>>730743863
they butchered starcraft and diablo story. also diablo 3s atmosphere was total garbage.

>>730738692
Not gamers fault Bethesda raised expectations by jumping the gun and annoucing their game early. It's been almost 8 years at this point.

Microsoft will probably shelve Bethesda at some point, just like every other company Microsoft bought out.

>>730741737
You're no fun, fag. Maybe you should try leddit, get some updoots, maybe even a gold star.

>>730743408
>This means the entire teaser's purpose was to pump stocks & get investors.
and control the public opinion because at the time they were being shat on for 76

All these games that have been in development for near enough a decade are extra doomed because they spent a good chunk of their early lives in Peak Woke, and we're well beyond that now. Even the people eagerly waiting for Skyrim 2 aren't going to be into it when some unkillable female Redguard NPC talks down to you and is presented as the truly competent one.

>>730738692
>>730739717
Isn't this the Axis Unseen guy?
That game was such a disappointment holy shit.

>>730744472
They will after Todds next two games of being promised the golden goose but by that time Todd also will retire, only newer fans will cry about it
>>730744076
You can be honest here and blame their idiotic focus on WoW for this

>>730741739
It was "announced" alongside F76, dementia-kun.

>>730738692
Can't wait for it to release and it's a massive pile of shit

>>730746289
Not to doompost but let's be real,
if/when it releases, they are absolutely going to jew out on the mod support:
Either it's released later, or they'll fully lock everything behind a launcher and an account, which means zero privacy and only paid mods (unless pirates save the day)
