Holy shit, I got Baldur's Gate 3 recently on sale for less than this lazy remaster of a 19 year old game.
Gamers are lapping this shit up too. What happened to the rage people had for the Switch 2 being expensive?
Imagine playing this when Caves of Qud is right there
This is a complete remake
This isn't true. It has some significant changes, but still feels like the original. They nailed it.
There is new voice acting, and voices are effected by your position to the speaker. They improved the leveling system. They added sprint. The combat feels similar, but is a lot less janky. Of course the improved VFX and SFX. There is probably other things. But it's definately more than a remaster. It feels like a remake.
Also it's actually a different engine. Or at least partially? Apparently it's unreal for graphics but the crusty ass Gamebryo for gameplay according to wikipedia.
Yeah apparently Unreal for rendering, overtop Gamebryo
Btw its already been cracked for pirating. I'm gonna renew my VPN later cause I've been wanting an Oblivion fix for a while.
oh thank god. I was surprised by how much I want this but I can’t bring myself to fork over any more nostalgia bux to the house of Todd
Let me know if it still has the funi voices
From what I've seen, they kept the original voices.
Nyahahaha, for some reason i can use my VPN again despite not renewing it in over a year
That's like 50e tho, not bad (idk what's the median salary in AU tho)
But the deluxe edition gives you bonus horse armor! 
Remember when people actually got upset about this sort of thing? When horse armor for the original oblivion was used as an example of game companies just being extremely greedy and blatantly anti-consumer? Haha, remember when gamers actually took issue with DLC and "upgrades" that did nothing but provide an empty cosmetic change to the game?
Normalization or something.
I remember when dlc used to HUGE addition to the games (even then there were criticized), and not just stuff cut out from the actual game and sold as day 1 dlc.
we were right to be mad at the time
Horse armour was only like $3 and ppl got mad.
I guess it proves simply complaining about it does nothing because the market will just do what it wants.
I'm starting to think that this whole "free market" thing doesn't actually solve consumer's problems and only makes them worse... 
Deluxe edition also gets you an art book and the soundtrack
I thought that it was basically just a texture mod at first, too, but apparently this is an unreal engine 5 game, so it actually is a lot more than a texture mod. Even if they call it remastered, it is essentially a full remake. I wonder what this means for the future of the Gamebryo engine.
It's unreal doing the graphics but apparently it's still Bethesda's engine doing the rest of the game. I'm sure they updated some stuff but it's gonna play pretty damn similarly to Oblivion
It's unreal doing the graphics but apparently it's still Bethesda's engine
what in tarnation...
The logic is the same as Oblivion and it plays exactly like that. It's a remaster not a remake.
I have no idea who can afford this shit atm.
Also please fuck off with forever culture. Things can be in the past. It's ok to move on.
You can afford it. Everything is free if you steal it. Take back your common inheritance.
Arrrrr….
Ive used this as an opportunity to be real fun at parties and point out to libs “Bethesda is on BDS, so this is kinda like Hogwarts Legacy and you’ll have to decide if a video game is worth it.”
you’ll have to decide if a video game you probably already played over a decade ago is worth it
Just adding an extra detail in there lol
Yes 
It doesn't even seem to have Denuvo, so it should be easy to pirate too.
holy fucking shit lmaooooooooo
no chance. straight piracy or utilising some sort of forex scheme to get cheap game pass
Oblivion is a bad game to start with
compared to morrowind but it's better than everything that came after besides new vegas (which bgs didn't make)
Skyrim is better than Oblivion 
The levelling, graphics, and voice acting are better, but the quests, which imo are the real draw, are vastly worse.
skyrim is barely an RPG. considering fallout 4 i'd be shocked if tes 6 is one at all.
