Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The only meme archeologists in a 100 years will get.

if skyrim is the best they can muster, by all means.

it's more honest than ubisoft rereleasing the same garbage with a different name over and over again, but trying to pretend it's something new every time.

The least they could do is turn it into an evergreen game like Minecraft or valheim. Instead of just printing another copy, go back and add 5 quests and 30ft² of area. Go to nexus, find the top 100 mods, pay their makers $5 and put them in the credit roll to integrate them permanently into the game. I haven't paid for skyrim since I bought it for the 360 and I would gladly buy a copy for every person I know if they did something like that.

thats what they are doing actually lol theyve added a shitton of creation club content to the new editions of the game

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

Except instead of top 100 mods, they're absolutely garbage mods that are very hard to uninstall.

[–] PDFuego@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

They do something like this with Creation Club in Fallout 4. The last thing people still playing want is more updates that break all of our mods every few months to add crap we didn't ask for. Check out the Steam updates, every one of them has countless comments begging them to stop. I gave up a while ago but I'm sure they're still going.

Unsettling that I could recognize Mii Todd Howard from the thumbnail. Have graphics gone too far?

Has there been ANY word on ES6? GTA6 at least gets news from time to time. ES6 was announced half a decade ago and we haven't heard anything since

I’m still waiting on a Wolfenstein sequel.

[–] areakode@riskeratspizza.com 10 points 3 weeks ago

Trump's working on turning that into a live action movie!

[–] skisnow@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

I don't mind playing more Skyrim. It's good.

[–] teft@piefed.social 1 points 3 weeks ago

I think ES6, FO5, and GTA6 are just hanging out laughing at all of us who are waiting for their releases.

All the AAA publishers seem to have turned into ponzi schemes.

[–] iamthetot@piefed.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago

How are they a Ponzi scheme?

[–] IronBird@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

kind of the opposite of a ponzi scheme, they burn $ paying developers to do work that will ultimately be scrapped before ever seeing the light of day

[–] MantisToboggon@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

As long as it some kind of a scheme, I agree.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 1 points 3 weeks ago

Nobody with all these opinions again! 👴
