    @DaysBehindHQ @Pirat_Nation The problem is they did not utelized those Studio's strengths, How do you buy Bethsheda and not make a new Elder Scrolls game, or Obsidion and not make a new Pillars of Eternity!?

    @PatManJones62 @JezCorden Mate it means nothing to me anyways I own both but the issue is sales. If they want to actually make money maybe they should release on all platforms I'm adamant they should of brought spiderman to Xbox as well I'm saying elder scrolls deserves better treatment

    @BethesdaStudios Well that's a bunch of word salad PR BS. It'll be almost 20 years since a proper Elder Scrolls, and nearly as much before the next Fallout. Microsoft should shut you down and give these franchises to a company that actually cares. You all left Fallout 4 broken for over a year.

    @DAKKADAKKA1 Not even modders are going to be able to fix the next Elder Scrolls, they'll be lucky if it even boots up 💀

    So Elder Scrolls 6 is probably taking another 2-3 years minimum, but really I just need Bethesda to get their **** together on optimizing their games' performance. Starfield and especially the Oblivion remake has MASSIVE performance issues, and Bethesda won't even acknowledge it

    St. Michael (@StMichael93) reported

    After years of delivering nothing on Fallout and Elder Scrolls (Dear Todd, ESO and Fallout 76 are live service games, for an entirely different fanbase) Microsoft finally pulled the rug on Bethesda and gave their IP to Obsidian again to remake Fallout New Vegas

  • Smegbort

    @SynthPotato the issues with Starfield and Creation Engine was that *everything* was treated the same way interior spaces are treated in Fallout and Elder Scrolls. I have way less of an issue with loading screens when theres a full open map to walk around in between.

  • Labyrinthusian

    @MMORPGcom @TESOnline Im not returning ever if they dont fix the super boring combat.

  • Drum2dbeatz
    Zoinkz (@Drum2dbeatz) reported

    @FarmerChewy @Pirat_Nation Exactly. Their games are fun, but under Microsoft’s cashflow umbrella, Starfield still had a few issues and the next Elder Scrolls still hasn’t been shown or teased So unfortunately, I don’t think these layoffs will have a meaningful impact. If its worse, then that’s on Microsoft

  • PsychoFr0ggy

    @JuiceHead33 I think that it shouldn’t take a decade to get another elder scrolls game. We went from Morrowind to Oblivion in 3-4 years. Oblivion to Skyrim in 5. There is clearly issues at Bethesda if they can’t manage to get a single game out that they announced more than a decade ago.

    @KarolWalczak9 @pureMetatron What do you keep doing as time goes on? I gotta get back to that. I have this weird issue I run into with every Elder Scrolls since Morrowind that I spend too much time minmaxing, do random stuff eschewing the main quest, get bored then come back years later and repeat it's sad

  • FatBluntSmokR

    @TESOnline Yall should really fix Cyrodill and Imperial City! There are some nerfs that are much needed, like the stamina/magica drain, make it fair again please! Can’t break free, roll dodge, or block… just stuck eating it… got the best gear build, it’s just the getting stuck thing.

  • cia_rumored
    CIA (@cia_rumored) reported

    @MassiveCorgi @BecerratopsTV @pcgamer Bethesda collectively created its own problems. Nobody wanted Starfield; the game sucked, and it ******* most of their resources for years. The market told them "Elder Scrolls" and "Fallout 5," but they decided that they knew better. Bethesda employees are losing their jobs because of inside factors, not outside factors. And yeah, it sucks that probably some good developers got caught in that crossfire. But I'm just sick of these companies insulting the player base and then wanting sympathy when they reap what they sow.

    @TESOnline Fix the first gate you ****** clowns. How do you **** something up so badly despite another perfectly working example exists in the ****** tutorial in coldharbour!!!

  • a_space_alien
    🇵🇭Homoludens Pro Deluxe🏳️‍🌈🌏 (@a_space_alien) reported

    @TheGameVerse Bethesda will never get rid of that **** engine! Expect shitloads more loading screens in Fallout and Elder Scrolls VI as well as launch day bugs that will STILL BE THERE DECADES LATER bc Todd & his team are too ******* lazy to fix them! Case in point: While playing Oblivion Remastered I had to touch the Sigil Stones to close the Oblivion gates and transit back to Cyrodill but it wouldn’t work. Had to look it up AND FOUND OUT IT’S A ******* BUG FROM THE ORIGINAL 2006 LAUNCH VERSION! THEY NEVER FIXED IT! IT’S A 20 YEAR OLD BUG! I had to go into the menu and toggle the graphics settings to trigger the transition!😭😭😭 Fuckn **** legacy studio.😒

  • SilentWraith87
    Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported

    @HazzadorGamin However in between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, they also released Skyrim....uh the original Skyrim, not one of the many re-releases that is. Now they don't do that. So the problem isn't necessarily the dev time of Elder Scrolls 6 and how long it's taking it's they released that

  • kioskmango

    @1ialexen @TESOnline They have no reason to not keep it going, it's one of the few live service games that makes them a lot of money to this day

    @drggon52 @TESOnline I'm concerned about how much lag this can potentially generate.

  • KoldSteel412

    @JuiceHead33 Maybe they should improve how they develop their games so they’re not broken pieces of ****. It’s been too long since their last Elder Scrolls game, unacceptable.

  • Alexandre99665
    Alexandre (@Alexandre99665) reported

    @LaresIsaac14 @eXtas1stv I had forgotten about Call of Duty. It's such a massive release that Game Pass doesn't make up for the lost sales. If they really do end day-one releases, The Elder Scrolls VI will probably be the second franchise to arrive on the service a year later.

    @Adolf_G0ttlich @Colteastwood Over exaggerated the issues is a thing. I think Fable developer lost some people due to shake up, same with ESO and Bethseda in general. Get 100+ places talking about death of Xbox, Fable, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc.. with no valid reasoning or proof.

  • MOBBDE21
    MOBBDE21 (@MOBBDE21) reported

    @IdleSloth84_ He mentioned that before about the live service games. But yeah, Elder Scrolls 6 will likely go exclusive, Fallout 5 will likely be multiplatform.

  • AlexWalason
    Alex Walason (@AlexWalason) reported

    I'm extremely disappointed in the amount of people not only overlooking these layoffs, but also wishing others got fired (Todd, Emil, etc.) you people are ******* monsters and should be ashamed of yourselves. Some of these YouTubers need to get ahold of their audiences lack of a heart and start wondering why they have such hatred for other people. I do blame certain YouTubers (not all are bad) for the vitriol we are seeing. Stop attacking Todd Howard and acting like he's the problem Btw, they fired a quest designer from The Elder Scrolls VI. One that worked on Fallout London. How is this supposed to get these games out quicker? Look, we can all still be super excited for these games and that Microsoft is gonna focus on them while also acknowledging how ****** the layoffs are. The Elder Scrolls VI is my most anticipated game ever, and I can't wait for Obsidians new Fallout, but that doesn't change the fact of what's happening.

    @JezCorden I really am. It does make me sad how hard you are on Xbox sometimes. I get some people don't like job cuts, but she's fixing a problem that she didn't create. They bought a million studios during covid to boost game pass and obviously it didn't work. They are draining 60 cents out of every 100 keeping dead studios alive. And like Asha said there are like 13 levels of management at times. I get that they also cut other people but some of those roles could have been redundancies that weren't necessary. Remember some of these games took 10 years to make a game that would barely make any money. Some of these studios are not doing the work they need to do. I don't like exclusives but it's definitely the way to get people to buy Xbox in the future. Getting all of their popular titles actually released. Personally I don't think they released elder scrolls 6 because they were trying to milk the MMO for as long as they can. So they didn't prioritize development. Phil Spencer let the studios do whatever they wanted and he was praised because people were worried that Microsoft would get too involved. But studios were allowed to do very little to nothing for 8 years and get away with it. All to release some indie game no one would buy even on PlayStation. People are making all these videos about Xbox dying and they have been for weeks but it's silly. It was dying. She saw the issues. She's addressing them. The toughest issue yet is the console pricing but everyone is dealing with that. She's not getting close to enough credit. People get in their feelings about Job losses and I can understand why but Sony ditched almost the same amount of employees too. They barely got any flack. I get Windows Central and other places should be neutral but we also need people to stand against all the PS5 fanboys who are just hating on Xbox to justify their purchases. We need people to bring balance. To say yes. Xbox was in a crap situation but IT IS better. We have game pass. We have a better subscription service than sony. We have Xbox play Anywhere which is massive for people with gaming handhelds or PCS. I saved so much money being able to play games on both handheld and console. And we have a bright future with great exclusive games and high-end titles that most of us want to play rather than boring titles none of us would buy. I think she's doing great. Even if it has been rough times

    Nethi ܸ⩌⩊⩌ ܸ (@NethiVr) reported

    @CassieKittenVR Different tech at the time. Keep in mind that Bethesda is a bit like monster hunter with their engine. Each generation of games are working on the same system just modified to fix their current IP, which was ether Elder scrolls or Fallout. What a mess x3

  • AntiPar2ival
    AP on 𝕏 (@AntiPar2ival) reported

    @SynthPotato Not necessarily; they could break the system down and redo it to make loading screens less of an issue, but the question is, does Todd have that type of will in him? Elder Scrolls 6 is Todd’s make it or break it moment, if he can’t deliver a masterpiece he’s going to be retired.
