  Alright Stingy (@___Stingy___) reported 6 minutes ago

  Bethesda is notoriously known for relying on the community to fix their games (finish the rest of the development for the game) these developers deserve to be fired the last single player game was three years ago. “But fallout76 and elder scrolls online are mainline game”

  @GamzlyTKD @JezCorden Agree with most of that but not the side chick platform, there's a world where they play their cards right they acquire more users even via consoles. The problem is they haven't being playing their cards right. Elder Scrolls isn't enough - They need Fallout etc etc

  @JezCorden We gotta stop blaming 2013 for the various **** Xbox is in in 2026. PS3 was in just as much **** and was able to fix it within a generation. E.g. Mattrick didn't convince Satya/Hood to spend 7bil on Bethesda, then do **** all with Fallout/Elder Scrolls.

  @LoneWolfMitsuni Thats fair, however elder scrolls and fallout are still two very good and popular series which are plagued with bugs and optimization issues... so I wouldn't call Beasts of Reincarnation **** til you play or seen someone play it to get the full scope of the game. Thats just my op

  Some people are all talk well, I put my money where my mouth is as it pertains to Sony #Playstation There are a number of factors that led up to this. It's clear that Sony doesn't give two 💩 about their customers. Sony should be on alert however because their arrogance could backfire from a business perspective longer term. They think we don't have options but what have they really done this gen? - They chased live service and it failed miserably. - Concord? failure - Marathon...not the success they wanted it to be resulting in major layoffs at Bungie - Bluepoint games? Gone - They could have been working on a Days Gone sequel but no. - Wasted 3 years of Naughty Dog development time on a Last of Us MP and then cancelled it. - Horizon series MP - who asked for this? - Relied on remasters to compensate for the lack of first party releases - Started pulling digital movies from their stores and customers lost access - Announced no more physical discs by 2028, meanwhile while quietly shrinking available physical inventory in the market. I could go on and on... Look if Playstation is your ecosystem, that's great! I will never, ever criticize someone for their gaming tastes and what works for them. But you can't possibly defend any of the above and you can't really question why people are disenfranchised not only by Sony but the industry in general. So, I'm going retro and with XBOX for my ecosystem. I love how they have play anywhere, backwards compatbility, rewards, cheevos, etc... I'm a fan of Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Gears so it's more of a fit for me. Yet, Last of Us and Marvel's Spider-Man are two of my fav game series but I can still play those on PC so...there ya go! I always say, my decision and desire to express my decision should be inconsequential to you. End o' story. Peace, Dirk @xbox #xbox

  @WrightRight4 @JMako67 @VALC_6 Heck there is even code in Source from the original Quake Engine. It is more a developer thing to improve things. One aspect I hope they fix is faces in the new Elder Scrolls, properly animated with better eyes and such. All that is possible if they want to.

  Tim Turley (@TurleyDurden01) reported 20 minutes ago

  @DrunkRepub My problem, too. And I played the original Elder Scrolls: Arena and several of its sequels for way too long (mainly because you couldn't wander around killing things in such a wide world in most games). Somehow, by Skyrim it got old.

  Vex (@TheDarthVex) reported 21 minutes ago

  @CTPhipps1980 @RazorFist No one’s saying every programmer or artist decided to delay Elder Scrolls VI, but the issue is that Bethesda expanded its workforce while its output and quality took a nose dive the last 15+ years. Layoffs are a consequence of the studio’s overall severe lack of performance.

  Wesley ✨ (@wesleytypes) reported 21 minutes ago

  Yes, as a totally starved Elder Scrolls lore fanatic, I will definitely over-analyze this. A few observations: - The province for The Elder Scrolls VI has long been rumored to be Hammerfell, to the point where it's almost certain. The number of asterisks she used could be random, but if they're not, they don't fit "Hammerfell". Skyrim and Morrowind are the only Elder Scrolls games that are actually named after the province they take place in, so this isn't an issue. It will probably have a unique subtitle. - By saying the story is greater than the already incredible scale and grandeur of the game, is she saying the story is better than the exploration and questing? Certainly not. This is actually a weird thing to say about the Elder Scrolls, a franchise from a studio that is typically known for weak main quest writing, which we all forgive because the exploration and side quests are the real star. We all understand that, but her vague praise seems to contradict. - Asha saying something public about this game is surely part of her plan to crack the doors open at Bethesda. I wouldn't be surprised if we finally see something substantial about the game this year. What she saw could even be a work in progress demo slice for a future show. Can't believe we're doing this still, but a fans gotta eat.

  @Reply_Addict The problem is that starfield makes it really obvious. In Elder Scrolls or Fallout you get a loading screen when entering a house or city. With Starfield you get like 6 loading screens just by switching a planet. Starfield was just too much

  @JBishie They need to fix that storefront before they expect pc players to use it. Even still, when games were exclusive to EGS, PC players would just skip them, saying “no steam no buy”. They may grab the latest Elder Scrolls, but most PC players will skip Xbox games if this is true.

  Hearthywatcher (@hearthywatcher) reported 27 minutes ago

  @KeezTheFlex @SentMush @Caffeinefunk 100% agree with this they have way more corporate bs that is their problem. Loading is more minor yet understandable qol. They dont even have the og lore guy for elder scrolls. Like wtf. The main lore guy for everything up to skyrim is gone. ES6 might be doo too from that alone.

  @Stealth40k 1) I know about that but I did have to temporarily erase it to save space for Elder Scrolls Oblivion Remaster coming out soon. Then I hear ESOR has technical issues Bethesda hasn’t fixed across all systems yet. It’s gonna be lots of fun or I’ll find myself reinstalling MKW on

  @SynthPotato With Fallout and Elder Scrolls it’s only for interiors and maybe big cities. The main problem with Starfield is that you have so many loading screens switching planets. Boarding the ship, leaving planet, traveling to new planet, entering planet, leaving ship. Every time a ls

  Stephen Sutherland (@sjsuth) reported 35 minutes ago

  @pcgamer There is one problem and it’s that outside of the cities and some set piece locations, exploration was in cardboard procedurally-generated environments. There was zero reason to explore any of it, whereas all you want to do in Elder Scrolls and Fallout is explore.

  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

  @SeniorScrolls @Der_Kernel_ So what actually happened is Elder Scrolls Online. They wanted to rival WoW. The problem with this is that the nature of an MMO is that it is live service, they were planning on it being THE elder scrolls and thus did not develop another one. And now here we are with eso dead af.

  Aakash Gupta (@aakashgupta) reported 48 minutes ago

  Skyrim sold 30 million copies. Then Bethesda announced its sequel. Skyrim sold 30 million more. Most studios rush sequels because the old game stops selling. Bethesda had the opposite problem, and it explains the longest wait in modern gaming. Skyrim launched in 2011. Twelve years later it was the seventh best-selling game in history, ported to roughly ten platforms, some of them twice. There's a version that runs on Amazon Alexa. Every year without The Elder Scrolls VI was a year the 2011 game faced zero internal competition. A sequel kills the back catalog. As long as VI stayed a teaser, Skyrim remained the newest mainline entry in one of gaming's biggest franchises, and it kept compounding into a 60 million unit annuity. Todd Howard even asked fans to "pretend we didn't announce it." That sounds like embarrassment. It's also exactly what you'd say if your 15-year-old game was outselling most studios' new releases. Now Xbox's CEO is teasing a censored subtitle after a live playthrough. The moment they finally say the name out loud is the moment the Skyrim annuity starts its countdown. Eight asterisks is what it looks like when a company decides the annuity has finally run its course.

  @Mark97009631616 @TESOnline Code needs to be consistent and work well a small error in it can cause alot of bugs from other lines of the code and they have to qa check everything and they got way less quality assurance team. So that's two bottlenecks.

  @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.
