MeepMorp (@LiliasAmell) reported@GenePark it would be an elder scrolls without PC modders to fix it so.... no
-
@DarkPaladin000 (@Paladin000Xbox) reported@JamieMoranUK They do cost more you're absolutely right but there are some successful live service games out there Just look at Bethesda and how long they've done Fallout 76 An elder scrolls Online those games have a ton of players Sea of Thieves did at one point I'm not sure what it is now

Mr Triceratops 🧙🏼♂️🇨🇦 (@TriceratopsMr) reportedObsidian was always openly progressive The problem with the Outer Worlds and Avowed is that everyone wanted them to be FO or Elder Scrolls style of open world RPG and they clearly were not.

Enlightened Serf 🇬🇧 🇮🇴 (@enlightenserf) reportedAfter 15 years of not working on a new Elder Scrolls game, Bethesda staff threaten to...*checks notes*...continue not working on an Elder Scrolls game.

☦️🇻🇦Rosaries & Rotating Updrafts🌪️ (Evan) (@AleppoAteMyFace) reportedblack metal about elder scrolls lore would fix me I think

Yellow High Voltage Rat (@5h42k7007h50up) reported@BethesdaStudios Look, I love the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Have since I first booted up my Xbox to play Morrowind in 2002. But you guys needed a kick in the ***. I hate that all those employees got fired, but taking 20 years to release a game, and then another decade of no DLC or content for said game, and relying only on modders to fill in what you left out, is the most laziest and snobbiest **** you could have ever run for a company. And not telling people about games or projects coming up, being so tight lipped and superior, and holier than thou art. On a gaming engine that is already 40 years old and barely works at launch, and takes a year to fix the game. Bethesda needed a kick in the ***. And it was long overdue.

James Bianco (@JamesRBianco_) reportedOpening quest broken, no response from @TESOnline - rogue’s house not counting all 4 fragments. You didn’t get it right.
-
Samurai0 (@SAMURAISAM0) reported@KingFanMan He's just trying to do fan service after completely fking up the entire industry. Seriously 76 was nothing but a cash grab. The formula for fallout and elder scrolls games is fking easy, and you have entire genres to pull from for the writing. A chimp could have done his job.

Android Digest (@DigestAndroid) reported@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

Lula Molusco do Guerra nas Estrelas (@SW_Squid) reported@SynthPotato I don’t think it’s such a big deal. It was very obvious in Starfield because the player is constantly fast traveling. This should not be an issue in Elder Scrolls and Fallout where the game takes place in mostly one exterior map.
-
xbotjimmy (@Killanitis) reportedOutside of Live service games like elder scrolls online fallout 76 and blizzards live service games everything else should be exclusive
-
Lightstreamfader (@Lightstream01) reportedActual cursed prohect, Elder Scrolls V.I has to follow: Bethesda's most disapointing game (Starfield) Broken game (Fallout 76) AND lauded game (Skyrim) and the game they most need to recapture, is the one modern Bethesda is least related to...
-
Timdog (@XBOXTIMDOG) reportedKloot that’s not the problem. Is there anyone in the world saying I must get a xbox for gamepass? Thats the Crux of issue If you make elder scrolls 6 exclusive yeah thats what ppl say. The problem is the numbers might not be there to do that and keep day one. It’s all headed towards exclusives and huge AAA being exclusive but no day and date. Been saying this for 5 months. Starting to roost.
-
Hyperboy (@Hyperboy0011) reported@charlieINTEL This means they're trying to fix the usual gap between games. We might see a elder scrolls made by someone other than bethesda after ES6.
-
God Emperor SofaKing (@clevercolt64) reportedThis is the ******* problem with fans, constantly defending devs. Literally if this dumbass would’ve actually read the message that Bethesda put out They didn’t even start production on fallout 5 and this ************ is wondering why people are getting fired they’re getting fired because they’re not ******* doing what people want them to do. They’re not making games people want. We’re literally 15+ years on waiting on a new elder scrolls, title and some of us will be ******* dead before we even play fallout five
-
Micah Anderson ✝️ (@Therealmekelle) reported@Qingjinnn @HazzadorGamin Elder scrolls 5 sold that much so ion really see the problem
-
PrimusNephilim (@NephilimPrimus) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline already broken :/
-
Daisy's ***** | 🇺🇦🇵🇸🙏 (@peenSLly) reported@RozzelcopterTV @PlayStation That's a live service game. You do realise that once Bethesda EoS'ed Elder Scrolls Online, your physical copy will become useless right? 🙃 It'll happen, but not anytime soon... but Xbox layoffs is making me not hopeful
-
Literally Kasane Teto In Dolphin Form (@KasaneTeto612) reported@BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Fo76 is down plz fix
-
Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported@TongueToad @TKsMantis If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think for games like RDR and GTA it's fine. Bethesda however I would say it's worse there because let's be honest Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, they all look, feel and play exactly the same, down to the UI and while on the one hand
-
Neon Daybreak (@_neondaybreak_) reported@TESOnline Idc what sheogorath did to her, I can fix her
-
Gobby (@ag_gobby) reportedIt’s a Nexus-created problem (at least for Elder Scrolls). Modding IS complicated because of possessive mod authors. If something has dependencies or conflicts, mod packs are still prohibited so the user must spend hours resolving it. This was discouraged pre-Nexus **********.
-
Alex Walason (@AlexWalason) reportedI'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.

Nayim Ayar (@NayimAyar16) reported@BethesdaSupport @ZeniMax_Online @TESOnline Can you are check 260709-002483 ticket. its couldn’t fix 3 months.
-
Sweet Babes Incoming(SBI) (@HS07641012) reported@Pirat_Nation Elder scrolls is all about letting modders do all the work, MS can easily make loads from paid mods, BGS just have to make a big unified open world with some basic stuff in and a robust mod tool, the game can be released in alpha state and still make hundreds of millions over time. Not a lot of devs needed. Other than wokeness, biggest problem for fartfield is they fractured the open world with space stuff which lead to many hating that game.
-
I'm Bored With You (@tbake42) reportedIm holding out hope for fallout, elder scrolls, and even a potential future starfield. If not, then I have no problem booting up old saves on either.
-
monke (@air_bagged) reported@GenePark The thing with exclusives is that I have a 300 games backlog on PC and I can live without Elder Scrolls or God Of War. Especially after Starfield. Most PC players think the same and nobody buying 2 consoles at 1000$+ each next gen without physical media. The crash is here.
-
Z (@not_asian_asian) reported@Gravantus I think the biggest issue is your first point. The largest demo of gamers is young men 15-25 years old. Those people have likely never played a single Elder Scrolls game, yet they are supposed to be hyped for a sequel? Their fanbase has gotten old and moved on.
-
Falloutfan3000 (@Macy1517) reported@Opethftw @pcgamer Got you talking about it 9 years later. The dev team of 76 is a studio that works specifically on live service games. It’s not people in bgs that could be working on the next elder scrolls or fallout.
