  @MMORPGcom @TESOnline Im not returning ever if they dont fix the super boring combat.

  @SuperP1ayerX @GHBSmith The issue is that I care about Elder Scrolls, not the other games. There's still not enough value for me to buy a console, even if all the other games were also exclusive.

  tent pole series games and in between those releases pump out new Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, and so on level games. Games that will be done well received and sell well but aren't going to be nearly as expensive to make as a Fallout or Elder Scrolls. I think that while layoffs are

  @NebsGoodTakes It’s funny to me how Bethesda tried the live service thing with Elder Scrolls, it didn’t work, and they still thought it was a good idea to do with Fallout.

  @RinoTheBouncer That 2011 outage is why I left PlayStation but if I can I will get a PS6, its going to have more than double the install base of the next Xbox (if Xbox even makes a console). Really pissed about the discs though, since the word was the PS6 was also going to play PS4 and PS5 Discs.....and I was looking forward to getting a number of PS4 and PS5 games I missed out on. I assume those games will play on the PS6 but they will be digital and probably not nearly as inexpensive. I'll have GTA VI eventually........unless I get it as a gift I really don't care about the game very much......the way people feel about GTA VI is how I feel about The Elder Scrolls VI. Someone dumping shares when you know they had to have taken a hit as well, it sadly typical.......I would have held for a little while longer. Sure people are big mad against PlayStation right now but if you were like "Playstation 6 Coming Holiday 2027 Pre Order Now"........it would be sold out and on backorder before the commercial was even over. Maybe, Maybe they can have an all digital future.......but why not an "OPTIONAL" Disc Drive with it? Even if there are 0 PS6 games on Discs, people would still want to play movies on it (4K Discs among other formats) as well as maybe discs from the PS4 and PS5. Since we all know Sony is going to make you buy it again if you don't already own a digital copy of a game you also own on disc. Then by the time PS7 comes out people would be as fully integrated as possible with the digital formats.....probably well over 95% of all sales by then or 100% if its the only format.

  @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.

  @TESOnline can’t login after the new update today on ps5 pro. It says I need the new update, but I downloaded before. Do u have that, too?

  Savior_Gaming (@Savior_Gaming) reported 14 minutes ago

  @GameReviewGuy Don't get me wrong, exclusives are important as they are currently finding out. But certain titles that literally can't make exclusive without finding themselves in serious legal trouble. I know COD and Fable are on the list. I believe Fallout and Elder scrolls may be as well.

  @ther3n3gad3 Great point of view, he messed up badly in '76, and even more so with the game's decisions. They still have the problem with the graphics engine, and they have to deliver The Elder Scrolls; they have a lot to worry about.

  No body gives a **** about your ****** Elder Scrolls port. No disc. No buy. You continue to hurt every game you post by not addressing these issues. **** you and your shareholders.

  @FilmsFallout Since it sounds like bungie will be making a Borderlands live service game instead of another Destiny game, so glad I have Fallout and Elder Scrolls to fall back on

  @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

  @Vara_Dark Gone will be the days when you can perform glitches by cleaning the cache to delete patches. I remember performing the cache cleaning glitch to get the Mace of Doom in Elder Scrolls: Oblivion for the Xbox 360. I personally only buy digital games, but killing physical media is stupid.

  There it is the official death of any faith I have in a GOOD elder scrolls 6. Veteran employees getting fired because they were being forced to make a ****** live service game and had one single flop in their line of single player open world rpgs is crazy.

  @ItsYent @DerickZill @TheRealWizar This was the problem I found with Elder scrolls Online. I really did enjoy the game for many years, gameplay was awesome, but in their attempt to not have gear resets, you ended up with stale progression. 7 years in and still using crafted gear from 6 years ago.

  Not working on fallout, and didn’t even start working on elder scrolls until this very year. Are they seriously just focusing the entire company on maintaining ESO? Updating starfield?

  @JuiceHead33 Well taking years and games still being buggy is the big issue. But it’ll be around 20 years for the next elder scrolls. That’s completely unacceptable.

  @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.

  @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

  I'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.

  @KieranMegaPrime Reinvest in console. Start utilizing popular IP - Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Halo, Call of Duty etc. Put Obsidian on a Fallout side project (and make it Xbox / PC exclusive) Less expensive titles that the mass audience doesn't want like "South of Midnight". Start investing in China. A massive market they barely have presence in. Look at alternative ways to bring down console pricing, such as pivoting to more Chinese RAM (currently undergoing massive expansion) Launch that Chinese Game Pass tier. A tier for China audience which focuses on multiplayer shooters & RTS games. Use aggressive marketing techniques. No kumbaya. Sony managed to BOOST their PS4 by using marketing that specifically called out the issues with Xbox One. (This one is more tricky right now since Xbox still relys on PlayStation sales) Etc

  @GamingSinceNES Two potential looming issues: 1). An entire generation has grown up without a mainline Elder Scrolls game. Will they care enough to have FOMO for something that they have gone years without. 2). Do people think BGS is still BGS after Starfield?
