Why are gamers so mean?
>>730738692Here's an idea: Don't spend 10+ years making one sequel.
>>730738692>wanting something to be good is mean
>>730738692Isn'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?
>>73073887115*
>>730738692>former Bethesda lead artist Nate Purkeypile>Nate Purkeypile>Purkeypilewhat the fuck is that name and am I supposed to believe this person existed
>oooh, oof, it's the fans that are pressuring usyeah 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.
>>730738692Skyrim 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
>>730738692He's not wrong, people are violently retarded and prone to autistic melties.
>>730740102>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 agowe'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.
>>730740102>i'm not buying TES 6 or GTA 6
>>730740097they made Skyrim 2 In Space and they were rightfully blasted. fact is that the industry has moved on. Gamebryo jank is no longer acceptable
>>730740296yeah 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.
>>730740358except '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 hypocritesI'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
>>730738692they 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.
>>730740241That's because we realised it's actually pretty trash.
>>730738692I 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.
>>730740296I WILL buy TES6 and it WILL be shit and I will NOT enjoy it and I WILL feel stupid.
>>730741091god dammit, *and are
>>730738692in 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
>>730738692Their own fault for dropping the steaming turd that was Shartfield.
>>730741314they 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 graphicsNo that's just what everyone expects because Bethesda can't make good combat, quests, etc
>>730738692can'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>have morning zoom meeting where investors angrily demand to see some kind of return on their investment>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>take lunch>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 gametodd, 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.
>>730741710it's going to be like CP2077's launch but even worseand years of shills claiming the 'engoodening' of the game is happening and you really should buy it now or you'll miss out
>>730741737i, 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.
>>730741739i 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.
>>730741213Based and accepting off your own faults pilled
>>730741710ApologizeTodds still got it
>>730742247Is this any good?
>>730742390if it was good at least some person in this thread would be able to tell me what it included
>>730739150>but how can we make sure it includes some "orange man bad" references in it and be 90% diverse?>t. beth dev
>>730738692If after 20+ years of dev time this looks worse than my modded skyrim im making fun of it
>>730739238Nate is short for NathanKate is short for Katherine
>>730742686why is nathan a boys name and katherine a girls name
>>730740358>Skyrim 2 In SpaceThey didn't It was boring empty flat planet simulatorWe want skyrim 2, aka a handcrafted map full of handcrafted thing, shouldn't be that hard
>>730738692Just make Morrowind 2
>>730738692They literally teased The Elder Scrolls 6 overSEVEN YEARSAGOAnd they have nothing to show for it yetThis 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
>>730738692Didn't they announce it when they had potential buyers circling their piece of shit company?
>>730742820It 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
>>730738692Why 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.
>>730738692this 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.
>>730743863they butchered starcraft and diablo story. also diablo 3s atmosphere was total garbage.
>>730738692Not 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.
>>730741737You'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>>730739717Isn't this the Axis Unseen guy?That game was such a disappointment holy shit.
>>730744472They 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 >>730744076You can be honest here and blame their idiotic focus on WoW for this
>>730741739It was "announced" alongside F76, dementia-kun.
>>730738692Can't wait for it to release and it's a massive pile of shit
>>730746289Not 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)
>>730742247
>>730738994I want it to be good but I don't expect it to be good. And I think my case is the majority so, where is the pressure? The audience is not fiddling with their asses, Microsoft is.
>>730743474Yes.
>>730741213Kek
>>730738692If they had something, anything, we would have seen it by now. The silence from Bethesda is deafening.
>>730743645 Based, lmao. Honestly the naming thing always feels like parents are trying to write destiny for their kid like it's an RPG character creation screen. “This one will be noble and pure!” Meanwhile she's doing keg stands by 17.
>>730738692no it doesn't. everyone knows after starfield and the slow degradation of the previous games it'll be terrible and a bunch of shit made simpler for the masses
>>730742591The devs have spent so long on it that period relevant political commentary from seven years ago has to be shuffled out
>>730741710Starfield was pretty bug free on launch, it's why the criticism of the game was about design choices and there was no wave of people pretending "it's good now" because they fixed bugs like with Cyberpunk
>>730746809>if/when it releases, they are absolutely going to jew out on the mod support:People have been saying this for every Bethesda game since fucking Oblivion, and its never come true.
>>730739056People still believe Bethesda can make a proper game? lmfao dude.They know they can't and so does Bethesda which is why they're panicking.
>>730741091>They gut the gameplay and RPG elementsStarfield added in RPG elements.
>>730738871>>730738994>>730739150>Former DevI swear to christ /v/ is full of illiterate retards
>>730738692I'm only excited for this so I can see everyone clown on them for their black hebrew israelite characters and setting.
>>730738692Bethesda doesn't want to make TES6. They know they can't do it. They have purposely done the minimal effort possible to even touch on the subject and delayed it like a lazy college student delays an assignment. TES6 failing will be the final nail in the coffin of Bethesda against its last fandom that doesn't completely hate them.
>>730751960>They have purposely done the minimal effort possible to even touch on the subject and delayed it like a lazy college student delays an assignment.They spent literal years rebuilding the Creation engine to allow it to do the things they wanted for TES 6(which is part of the reason why Starfield took so long to come out). Nor has the game been delayed at all.
>>730738692>delayed long enough so now they can just auto generate all the quests with AIBravo, Todd
>>730741213This, but i have worse taste so I will enjoy it despite it being objectively bad.Then I will get upset at every post that didn't enjoy my favorite flavor of slop.
>>730738692nate purkeypile is why skyrim, and fallout 4 had such good worlds, and also probably why starfield was a procedurally generated pile of shit. shows how important a good open world is to the bethesda formula.
>>730752434Except Nate worked on Starfield.
>>730740358i haven't played skyrim since 2017, a year after the special edition came out. i just recently started playing it again with some light modding, better third person, open cities, a lantern, very basic stuff. i'm having more fun with it than any recent slop, and skyrim is my least favorite elder scrolls. for me, it's oblivion, daggerfall, morrowind, skyrim, then arena. yet here i am, another 40 hours into my 900th skyrim playthrough because it's just so fun to play. it's barely an rpg, hell it's not even an rpg, but it's so fun.
>>730752892>Oblivion firstLel what a shit fucking opinion.
>>730738871it wasn't in development for 10+ yearsthey said the same day they announced it that development would start after starfield
>>730741028SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE MAAAAAAAAAN
>>730752096Todd it is far too late for such weak pilpul.
>>730738692My expectations are in a fucking trench at the bottom of the sea at this point. Bethesda has been dead ever since they shat out Elder Scrolls Online.
