Nah. Six days until the full release so im just waiting.

Xbox One era made me hate demos and betas. I found myself burning myself ouf on a game before the final release.

It’s too early, I mean, MS should be more harsh with its timed exclusives, Sony does’t allow even thinking about other ports. If there is one thing I don’t like about the current way of things under Phil’s reign (other than the very slow Japan “campaign”) is this softness with exclusives, some times even with their own games to zero benefits for Xbox gamers (like Ori).

The Medium is currently the one and only next gen exclusive from Xbox, they should lock it at least for 1 full year.

Personally, I would much rather see Microsoft/Phil Spencer get games to be either fully exclusive to Series X/S and PC like the rumored IO Interactive game or if it’s multi-platform, day one on Game Pass. Timed exclusives do nothing for me on either platform because at the end of the day, they’re basically a multi-platform game.

Oh damn. I rarely if ever play demos. Games that have a demo are games I usually have no interest in and the games I do have interest in rarely have a demo. lol.

Resident Evil VIII: Village is day one for me this Friday. Definitely hyped for it. My 2021 gaming year started with Outriders and I should have at least one new release every month for the rest of the year on average.

Well this whole IO Interactive, fantasy dragon action RPG thing certainly ruined my dreams for what the teases were hinting at. I was dead set on a shared universe MMO light type, set in the universe of the 1985 cult classic, The Last Dragon

Where players can choose their factions. From Leroy Greene’s dojo, to the Shogun of Harlem’s gang, or perhaps one of Eddy Arcadian’s thugs. Or even a Sum Dum Goy empoyee, where you can dance to classics like You sock it to me, I sock it to you. But alas, my dreams were dashed

And I was so looking forward to getting that “Catches Bullets With his TEETH” achievement

For all we know it is shared world though. I mean, it is MP. That is one thing Jez has clearly said. It has more chances of being MMO lite than traditional SP at this point.

I will, when they get they’re technology to a certain minimum. And to be clear, I don’t need the most stunning game on the planet but when I see indie studios doing better animations than a triple a studio whose games sell 30million + copies, something is wrong.

Technical limitations is not even on the list of flaws

Skyrim is not a good game. It tries to tick too many boxes and favours quantity over quality. The game lacks focus the story is not very appealing. It is a poor slow walk and talk game. It lacks character. Since I put it down I have not had a single temptation to play it again. At least Oblivion felt charming and genuine.

If Skyrim isn’t a good game, I don’t know what is…

Very few titles since have offered a “sandbox” as replayable… the Witcher 3 obviously springs to mind.

a game that’s still in its prototyping stages I wouldn’t be too quick to make solidified judgements on what it shall eventually turn out to be.

[anon15396042]

Skyrim, the legendary, influential, multi-million selling, zeitgeist defining darling of critics & fans alike, which remains hugely popular to this day, a full 10 years after it’s release, is not a good game.

I love the wild hot takes you get on gaming forums

I’m as guilty of doing it as anyone, so I can only admire.

That’s true. That’s a little the problem with insiders and leaking stuff that is sooooo early still. There used to be a time where we didn’t know a thing and then out of the blue a surprise announcement of a new game.

Skyrim is the goddamned shit, I love that game to death. It has its shortcomings, as any game. But I put disgusting hours into it, as with Fallout 3 too. I loved many of the side quests, the world, the atmosphere, the magic, and even if sword combat is stiff, I still enjoyed it. But that should be a thing of the past with TES VI, combat should feel good and not like we’re hitting a tree with our swords when we slice humans.

Dude imagine how good TES VI is going to be…

[jfsolo]

Hot takes like that make for shitty discussions, it’s unfortunate that some folks can’t refrain from that kind of nonsense.

[pg2g]

For the folks that have played both, if I enjoy the combat in Tsushima will I enjoy Nioh? I’m trying to avoid any slow clunky Souls-like combat.

I think being used to stances and shit in GoT will feel right at home because Nioh has a big focus on the stances as well from what I’ve seen, to a bigger degree than GoT. Also, doesn’t seem as slow paced as DS, and it has a variety of weapons and builds that make you go as slow or as fast as you want.

@anon15396042

With the budget that they now have with Xbox…

I get goosebumps thinking about it, haha. For BGS titles I always have a special place in my gamer heart. Rockstar kinda still too, but especially BGS. When a new game is announced by them I cannot contain my hype, lol.

Thank you sir. Putting the remaster on my list now.

…really expect from TES 6? Skyrim for me is one of the best games in history, I have not played another similar open world, I have played it frequently since the first time I finished the game in 2013 and every time I come back, I find new things, to my is amazing but I have a doubt that we can expect from TES 6. If we talk about budget, do they really have all the resources needed to make a game similar to next generation Skyrim? At the time if people talked about open worlds, Bethesda and Rockstar were the answer, Rockstar has grown a lot but Bethesda has not. I really would have liked Bethesda to grow to a similar level as Rockstar, see their games with a high level of detail and impressive graphics but Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 disappointed me in those areas. What do you expect from TES 6?

The Elder Scrolls 6 will be one of the biggest game releases of all time. What you’ll see from Starfield should just be the beginnings of what to expect from TES in terms of technology and systems.

I disagree that BGS has not grown. We know that over 4x people are working on Starfield as worked on Fallout 4. BGS is now comprised of 3 studios and is also getting help elsewhere to make their games.
