    @UnkWerks @RinoTheBouncer Except it's not. It's a single player game that happens to include a multiplayer mode. A live service game is something like Destiny, The Elder Scrolls Online or Fallout 76. They tried to make Halo CE exclusive but couldn't because of various contracts already in place.

    @Colteastwood Which ones? How do they choose? Do I need an XBOX to play Elder Scrolls VI? How about the next Halo? Right now, no one knows. And that’s a huge problem for player acquisition. I need a Switch to play the next Mario and Zelda, I need a PS to play God of War and Spider-Man. XBOX?

    @TESOnline You need to address the problem that caused the game to no longer work before Sept 1. It didn't happen to me, but two of my friends can't play. Just remember it effects the gaming of more than just the people who can't play.

    @Ak11810723K I think TES VI probably won’t have the same loading screen issues as Starfield. The problem with Starfield wasn’t just the engine. It was the game’s structure. Traveling frequently involved moving between separate spaces such as your ship, space, and planetary locations, often with loading screens in between. If TES VI is a more traditional Elder Scrolls game with one large world, loading screens may feel much less intrusive, even if caves and interiors still have them. That said, I hope there are fewer loading screens than in Skyrim. By today’s standards, having a loading screen every time you enter a cave, dungeon, city, or building would still feel like a lot…

    A lot don’t want to pay a monthly subscription service for a game , games have a subscription service apart of game you already paid for is very scummy, it scummy when elder scrolls online did it , it’s scummy when world of Warcraft does it and it’s scummy when FF XIV does it

    @asobercannibal @LRSerling 💯 my issue. Not just this, but the writing in the game as a whole. Just felt like there was so much more that could have been explored but they either ran out of time or just weren't interested, which was shocking given how deep the elder scrolls lore goes

  • RobertKafadar
    Kristijan Lujanovic (@RobertKafadar) reported

    @WolfheartFPS @KJP_Plays Thank you for saying this. I even talked to the devs about it. I know I am used to from software games but still Witcher 3 is not using all it's mechanics to create truly challenging hard difficulty. But combat is their common problem like Elder scrolls series

    @3aldes Yeah I want to be a dark elf in the elder scrolls universe I don't think that's an issue

    4. EXCLUSIVITY TALK (PART 1): Xbox-Original single-player franchises (Halo, Forza, Gears, Fable) stay exclusive while Xbox-acquired franchises and multiplayer games (Elder Scrolls, COD, Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, Crash) remain multi-platform. Don't care. Talk to the wall. (4/?)

    @XboxTimdog Crash e Banjoo. Halo e Gears. Fable e The Elder Scrolls.

    @CGRuby_VT I always say a similar thing about The Elder Scrolls. They are poorly made games with great ideas. The fact that the first mods for them are massive bug fix patches and UI upgrades says a lot about how poorly made they are.

    @TESOnline new mythic still broken for pvp an i cant even go to other CP campaigns to play with friend's since its alliance locked an you got rid of the rest. well not paying for eso plus for this trash. guess time to find another game. any suggestions?

    @vrakhiri Mostly vanilla unless there's a QoL mods that fix something I hate Only exception really is Elder Scrolls, even on day 1 of Skyrim I downloaded a few mods

  • Kenevitable

    @_Tom_Henderson_ PS didn't have a problem selling 100m consoles again. Xbox shouldn't have either but when you buy Activision and make COD exclusive, or Bethesda and they dont make any Fallouts or Elder Scrolls, how did they expect to sell consoles? Its No.1 selling point is 50% cheaper on PC..

  • 187Plink
    Pooka187 (@187Plink) reported

    @TESOnline Yet you never fixed players Night Market progress after you messed up on a server crash and Yanking all progress. Plus you have been given the feedback that Vengeance is terrible and no one wants it… no one plays it. Yall need to start firing people in the main office.

  • geis_shane

    @RossTweetsGames Stop the fake weirdo confusion all live service everywhere all prior agreements honored….likely big system seller games exclusive 1-2 a year just like PS….pretty sure if you want to play Elder Scrolls 6 on a console better buy a Xbox

  • Falgrin
    Falgrin (@Falgrin) reported

    @EPG_Gaming_247 @MarathonDevTeam Yes, because it's not like we don't have live service games such as World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy Online, Guild Wars 2, and Elder Scrolls Online. There's still a lot more going on, and you want to tell me 10 Years is too long?

  • PrimalNudist
    Streaker (@PrimalNudist) reported

    @DarkEnzo0309 In the thread it says basically anyone who is not working on Elder Scrolls or Fallout is out. I want to see a Wolfenstein 3 too. But I have a feeling that we wont.

  • CrikeyItsDan
    Dan (@CrikeyItsDan) reported

    @The_CrapGamer Xbox COULD be the only console that plays. Halo. Gears. Forza. Fallout. Elder Scrolls. Fable. CoD. (eventually) And more! Exclusives weren't the problem, it's that Xbox didn't have consistently great ones like Sony did. Now they could, and they gave up before even trying!

  • JimoarGaming
    Jimoar (@JimoarGaming) reported

    @Big__TeeJ @FL1NTZ @Zarathos88 They're not the same. Your original post was whataboutism and you conveniently left out cuts at arkane and zenimax where the current rumors are "anyone not working on fallout or elder scrolls is at risk" just to say "look Sony is just as bad as Xbox with this one studio".

    @TESOnline No one cares about the crown store lol how about u fix your broken game 🤔

  • CrikeyItsDan
    Dan (@CrikeyItsDan) reported

    @MrViceKC @GoodGameKofi Like I said I would love to see the Liver service everywhere, single player exclusive strategy. Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 alone move a lot of consoles, but not if you can just get them on your PlayStation.

    @Grummz "Anybody not working on fallout or elder scrolls is at risk." Wait until these games are finished... heads will roll

  • ThatBoyVJ27
    Vince (@ThatBoyVJ27) reported

    @DrFuryWolf @CultureCrave @theinformation I’m hoping it means they use one there 20+ studios to make games for each others ip’s. Why not have obsidian make a fallout, or inexile make an elder scrolls. Would be sick to see a doom from the coalition or even a halo, or ID making a cod, double fine a crash game, etc.

  • Magicka313
    Arch Mage Magnus (@Magicka313) reported

    @bethesda You guys seriously piss me off. You have elder scrolls and fallout fans who have been starving for a single player experience for YEARS, but you insist on doubling down on these ******* service games. Stop. Read the room.

  • JamesCartyBoy88
    JamesCartyBoy88 (@JamesCartyBoy88) reported

    @Andy_VGC Part of the problem with Xbox is they are too hands off and just let devs make whatever they want, which doesn't always result in success. Obsidian should be doing Fallout and Elder Scrolls spinoffs while Bethesda do the mainline games.

  • FinalBoss_io
    FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported

    If the fix for Xbox is “more Halo, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls,” that’s not a strategy. That’s a confession that the bench is thin. Speeding up legacy franchises only works if the games stay distinct. Otherwise you get expensive factory output with a familiar logo.

  • Rainbubblor
    Rainbowable (@Rainbubblor) reported

    People compare it to Elder Scrolls 6. In hindsight, I think they only announced it to soften the blow of the mobile game they announced in the same showcase. (So people would be more open minded about it knowing ES6 was on the horizon). Or development trouble, maybe.

  • RBunFoX
    RBunFoX🦊 #L4D2Source2 (@RBunFoX) reported

    @stormfall33 Well, the logical thing would have been for Bethesda to continue the development of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, but Starfield made everything move, so perhaps the problem was that third game.
